Chapter 219: Regardless of Your Illness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That was a secret that Meng Chuyuan had been hiding in her heart and did not want to tell. Tonight, for her to say it in such a way, she must have felt very miserable. freewebn(o)vel.com
Lu Qingye only knew that Meng Chuyuan was an orphan, but he did not know that she had such a tragic background.
Just now, he was watching Meng Chuyuan’s lonely back from behind. He listened to her slightly choked up and weak voice. From initial shock, his emotions gradually changed. There was a rare heartache in his calmness.
Now, he was standing in front of Meng Chuyuan without any disdain or evasion.
Meng Chuyuan raised her head, her red eyes smiling. “You should be the one who’s afraid, right? They’re all afraid that I’ll have a relapse. Aren’t you afraid?”
He frowned and said calmly, “Do you think you’re sick?”
“I think so. I’m the daughter of a lunatic.” Meng Chuyuan unintentionally reached out her hand and grabbed Lu Qingye’s sleeve. She narrowed her eyes and continued to tell him her memories. “Do you know why I ran away? Because I vaguely remember that my mother would be locked up when her illness acted up and she had to be forcefully pressed down and injected with needles. So when they started to suspect me, I was afraid that they would do the same to me.”
She lived on tenterhooks every day and did not sleep well.
“In the past, I always felt lowly and inferior. I also saw through human nature, but the resentment in my heart will always be greater than forgiveness.”
From a very young age, Meng Chuyuan had known that her neighbors were biased against her family. No matter how well she did, no matter how well she tried to please others with obedience and tried to exchange her sincerity for peace of mind, those adults would still tell their children not to get too close to her.
On the surface, the villagers took good care of her and sympathized with her, but in fact, everyone was on guard against her. If anything happened to her one day, everyone would point their fingers at her. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚
However, Meng Chuyuan had already reconciled with her past.
She did not hate those people, nor did she look down on her past self.
Meng Chuyuan’s face was red. The tears on her face could be seen clearly under the light. She tugged at Lu Qingye’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. If that day really comes, I definitely won’t trouble you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lu Qingye frowned and looked at her in confusion. There was a firm gentleness in his seriousness. “I snatched your life back from the Grim Reaper. Regardless of whether you’re sick or not, I won’t abandon you like they did.”
He and Meng Chuyuan met at the beginning of a dark and windy night.
That afternoon, Lu Qingye went to the suburbs to inspect work. On the way back to the city at night, he and his assistant saw the scene of a car accident with their own eyes. The perpetrator escaped, and the girl who was hit was Meng Chuyuan.
That road was very remote. There were no cameras around, and there were not many cars coming and going. The driver might have known the situation on this road at that time, so he dared to drive away after hitting someone.
However, all of this was seen by Lu Qingye and his assistant. Nevertheless, at the time their car drove over and saw the scene, the car in front was already about to leave.
Realizing that there was a person lying at the intersection ahead and that the culprit had driven away, Assistant Yang subconsciously slowed down. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, and Assistant Yang did not want to participate in it, but Lu Qingye stopped him.
At that time, Assistant Yang had considered all kinds of problems and analyzed the situation rationally. “CEO Lu, we didn’t hit this girl. If we get involved, this will be very troublesome. When the time comes, we have to cooperate with the police to make a statement… If word gets out, it won’t be good for our company.”
