Chen Qinglian asked.
“I have the money that Old Madam gave me in my account. I’ll study abroad and undergo plastic surgery. When I come back, I will snatch back my position as the Young Mistress of the Lu family from Jiang Yining!”
Chen Kexin’s eyes were filled with hatred and determination.
She had already lost everything!
There was nothing left to lose!
Three years…
She would wholeheartedly forge a new self!
She thought, “Jiang Yining, you wait!”
She would definitely return!
Chen Qinglian felt heartbroken for her daughter, but she had to admit that Kexin was right. Without returning with a new identity, she would never be able to hold her head high, let alone marry into a good family.
It was just that she had changed her appearance and endured for three years. To her daughter, it was too cruel and long.
“Kexin, have you really thought it through?”
Chen Qinglian asked.
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind.” Chen Kexin touched her mother’s cheek and wiped away the tears on her face. “Mom, stay well in the Lu family, stay by Old Madam’s side. As long as you’re well, you’ll be my eyes in the Lu family. Even if 1 leave A-City, 1 won’t lose track of Brother Ah Zhi.”
“I’ll do everything as you say, Kexin, even if it’s for you, 1’11 do everything well.”
“Okay.”
Chen Kexin hugged her mother and cried, “Mom, 1’11 miss you.”
“I’ll miss you too.”
After a brief exchange between the mother and daughter, Chen Kexin lay back on the operating table.
Chen Qinglian composed herself and reported the situation to Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu fainted on the spot upon hearing that Chen Kexin had left.
When she woke up again…
It was already nighttime.
Old Madam Lu sat up and asked, “Where’s Kexin?”
Chen Qinglian shook her head and said, “Old Madam, I’m afraid you’ll be sad, so I’ve already cremated Kexin. I’ll go collect her ashes tomorrow and bring her back to her hometown to be buried.”
“You’re really muddle-headed. How could you bury Kexin?”
Old Madam Lu was extremely agitated.
Chen Qinglian remained silent.
The room was filled with cries.
Old Master Lu had just returned home from work and heard the commotion.
He walked in to check on the situation.
He asked when he saw his wife crying so hard and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Qinglian said, “Old Master, my Kexin got into a car accident and passed away.”
Old Master Lu couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard that.
“How can that be? Kexin is still so young.”
Although Kexin had made many mistakes, he didn’t like her very much. After all, she was a child he had watched grow up. How could he have no feelings at all? Moreover, the mistakes Kexin made were not worthy of death.
“I also hope that it’s fake, but it’s true. Kexin didn’t pay attention to the other party’s drunk driving…”
Chen Qinglian choked halfway through her sentence.
Old Master Lu touched his head and said, “What about Kexin’s body?”
“It’s already been cremated.”
Chen Qinglian replied.
“So fast?” Old Master Lu said in surprise.
“Yes, Old Madam was very emotional when she saw Xin’er’s accident. This child had the best relationship with Old Madam, so before she passed away, she told me to take care of her funeral as soon as possible so that Old Madam wouldn’t be sad.”
Old Master Lu fell silent.
After Chen Qinglian replied, she went to comfort Old Madam Lu.
Old Master Lu stood in the room for a while before he walked out and gave Lu Zhi a call.
He told him to come back quickly.
Lu Zhi asked what was the matter.
Old Master Lu refused to say it over the phone.
Lu Zhi had no choice but to drive back to the old mansion.
When he arrived, he learned from his grandfather that Chen Kexin had passed away.
Lu Zhi frowned.
“Is this true?”
Wasn’t it just another trick played by Ke Xin?
Lu Zhi had always treated Chen Kexin as his younger sister. He had distanced himself from her because she had done too many wrong things.
But no matter what, he never wanted her to die.
“It’s true. Your grandmother and Aunt Chen saw her die with their own eyes. I also called the police station just now to confirm the car accident. All Zhi, 1 know that Kexin has done many things wrong, but now that she’s gone. Let’s not bicker about the past and send her away in a grand manner. As for Aunt Chen… She’s getting old, and considering she raised you and did so much for our Lu family, let her come back and retire.”
Chen Qinglian had been chased out of the Lu family’s old mansion previously.
Earlier, Old Madam Lu pleaded with Old Master Lu to bring Chen Qinglian home.
Old Master Lu, not entirely devoid of sentimentality, agreed.
Lu Zhi nodded and said, “Okay.”
“As for Yining, explain it to her so that she doesn’t harbor any resentment,” Old Master Lu said.
“Alright.”
Lu Zhi’s words were concise.
In the end, the news of Chen Kexin’s sudden death still gave him a blow.
“Go in and check on your grandmother and Aunt Chen. 1’11 go find someone to take care of Kexin’s funeral.”
Old Master Lu said.
“Okay.”
Lu Zhi agreed.
He turned around and walked into Old Madam Lu’s bedroom.
Old Madam Lu had once again fainted from crying.
Chen Qinglian leaned against the headboard, her eyes lifeless. She didn’t even notice Lu Zhi’s entrance.
It wasn’t until Lu Zhi walked up to her and asked, “Did Kexin say anything before she passed away?”
Chen Qinglian snapped back to reality and said, “Ah Zhi, why are you here?”
Lu Zhi looked at her. “Grandfather informed me.”
Chen Qinglian cried and said, “Kexin feels sorry for you. She was blinded by love and did whatever it took. Ah Zhi, Kexin asked me to apologize to you and Miss Jiang.”
Lu Zhi remained silent for a while before he whispered, “If she had let go of her obsession earlier and found someone else, she wouldn’t have ended up like
this.”
Chen Qinglian smiled bitterly. “Yeah. If I had known this would happen, I would rather she find an ordinary person than have her passed away earlier than me.”
Lu Zhi paused and said, “It’s too late to regret now.”
Chen Qinglian wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with a tissue and said, “Thank you, Ah Zhi. Kexin has done so many wrong things, and you’re still willing to comfort me. 1 really don’t have the face to see you.” Not only did Kexin do something wrong?
Aunt Chen had also made many mistakes.
Lu Zhi knew this better than anyone else.
He didn’t want to dwell on it anymore.
“I will take care of Kexin’s funeral.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Chen Qinglian said gratefully.
Lu Zhi didn’t know what to say to the person he used to be the closest to.
He clenched his jaw and remained silent for a long time.
He turned around and left..
