Liu Renzhi kept talking and talking.
He talked about how good the Liu family was to him, and how much Liu Siyue liked him as her older brother.
As he spoke, his eyes turned red:
"Why? Why would God treat her like this?
"Wanyi, I just don't understand.
"Siyue is so kind and innocent, why did she have to be the one to get hurt?"
Lin Wanyi's heart ached along with his, as if she were being pricked by countless fine needles, one after another.
A dense pain spread all over her body.
She waited patiently for Liu Renzhi to finish.
Only then did she stroke his back:
"You are a good older brother, Renzhi. Siyue won't blame you.
"What we need to do now is to do our utmost to protect her and absolutely not let her suffer any more harm.
"And as for Qin Chao, we must teach him a good lesson for Siyue's sake."
Su Jing didn't know what Lin Wanyi was doing here, and she didn't want to disturb them.
So, she went back to her room early.
But it was at this time that Liu Siyue slipped out the door while there was no one in the living room.
She was still carrying that bag with a small knife inside.
On her phone, Qin Chao was still sending messages continuously:
"Baby, are you here yet?
"Hurry up, I can't wait anymore. I'm going crazy missing you."
"I've even taken a shower, hurry, hurry, hurry.
"Baby, baby."
Seeing a few bodyguards standing at the front door, Liu Siyue took two steps back, bypassed the garden, and left through the back door.
This was a villa area, and she waited by the roadside for a long time before she managed to hail a cab.
The driver asked her, "Where to?"
She directly gave Qin Chao's address.
Didn't he miss her? Wasn't he unable to wait any longer?
Then she would personally go and send him to hell right now.
She kept a tight grip on her bag, screaming in her heart:
"Qin Chao, just wait to die."
The place Qin Chao rented was very far away.
Because it was cheap; he couldn't afford a place in the city center.
It took Liu Siyue more than half an hour by taxi.
By the time she arrived downstairs at Qin Chao's building, it was almost 11 o'clock.
She stood downstairs and looked up at the building.
The lights in Qin Chao's apartment were glaringly bright to her.
It was time for it to end, finally, everything was going to end.
Liu Siyue touched the small knife in her bag again.
An older sister who was returning from her street stall selling grilled sausages passed by, saw Liu Siyue, and asked:
"Little girl, why haven't you gone home so late?
"Hurry back, it's not safe outside."
Liu Siyue said gratefully:
"Mhm, thank you, Auntie. I'll go back right away."
The older sister had already walked past, but a minute later she turned back and handed Liu Siyue a grilled sausage:
"Girl, this is what I have left over from selling. Do you mind taking it?"
Liu Siyue's nose suddenly stung.
All along the way here, her heart had been filled with nothing but hatred and despair.
She didn't have a single trace of courage to live on.
But the older sister's single grilled sausage made her eyes redden.
The older sister patted her shoulder:
"Go home early, daughter. Your parents will be worried.
"There is nothing that you can't get past, you know?
"Go back and sleep on it, and everything will be fine."
After the older sister left, Liu Siyue took a bite of the grilled sausage.
Tears suddenly gushed out.
She remembered when she was little, Su Jing wouldn't let her eat street snacks, saying they were unclean and unhygienic.
But there were people selling them every day at the entrance of the kindergarten.
In the park and the amusement park, she would always see other children eating them with relish.
She couldn't resist, and every time she begged Su Jing to buy her one.
Of course, Su Jing never agreed, but she didn't stop Liu Renzhi from secretly buying them for her either.
Every time, Liu Renzhi would mysteriously pull her to the side, and then take out a still-warm grilled sausage from his coat.
The two of them would share it, one bite for you, one bite for me.
At that time, Liu Siyue thought that grilled sausages were the most delicious thing in the world.
And her brother was the best brother in the world.
Of course, every time after eating, Liu Renzhi would always get criticized by Su Jing:
"You, you just spoil her.
"If she looks for a boyfriend according to your standard in the future, how will she ever find one?"
At that time, Liu Siyue didn't understand anything, and immediately said:
"Then let big brother be my boyfriend."
For many years after that, Su Jing would tease her with this sentence.
Liu Siyue finished the whole grilled sausage while reminiscing.
She took a deep breath, wiped her mouth, lifted her foot, and climbed the stairs.
Qin Chao lived on the fifth floor.
Actually, this building had an elevator, but she didn't want to take it.
She climbed up step by step, her mind playing all the events of the past six months or so like a slideshow.
A happy trip, and because she kindly helped someone, she was trafficked to Wangjia Village.
There, she was beaten and abused, imprisoned and insulted.
She almost died there.
Later, Lin Wanyi called the police, and the Liu family found her.
She thought the nightmare was over, that everything was over.
She thought her life was finally going to get back on track.
She thought she would never be hurt again.
But Qin Chao came again.
Yes, she remembered everything.
She remembered it all on the day they went mountain climbing.
When she was trafficked to Wangjia Village, the car had also driven in the deep mountains for a long, long time.
So that day, as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she remembered it all.
She remembered absolutely everything.
Including the origin of Qin Chao's photos and videos; she finally knew how they came about.
She couldn't help but cry loudly in the restroom, yet pretended to be calm and unbothered when Lin Wanyi found her.
But only heaven knew how much pain she was in when she remembered everything.
How scared, how angry, and how helpless she felt.
But she endured it.
Because Lin Jiajun and Chen Hui's wedding was coming up soon.
If something happened to her at this time, their wedding would definitely not be held as scheduled.
Liu Siyue thought.
She couldn't be that selfish.
She couldn't delay their wedding because of her own affairs.
That was the most important day of their lives.
So she endured, and continued to attend Chen Hui's wedding as if nothing was wrong.
Until now, the wedding was over.
She could finally take action.
She could finally do what she wanted to do without any baggage.
She stood on the last step.
Qin Chao's door was right in front of her.
Liu Siyue's eyes stared at the door like fire.
Qin Chao, he deserved to die.
She touched her lower abdomen again.
There was Qin Chao's child in there.
Wrong.
That was not a child, just the evidence of Qin Chao's crime.
She remembered again how desperate she was that night when she saw those two lines.
In Wangjia Village, she had also been pregnant with a child.
A child she didn't know how it came about, but knew how she lost it.
Those painful memories filled her heart and her mind.
At that time, she lay on the bed like a puppet, letting Chen Guanshan torture her.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she felt a heat in her body.
Blood spewed out of her body like a flood.
Chen Guanshan was not afraid at all, and didn't even restrain himself, but became even more excited.
Chen Daniu roared:
"Dad, she's going to die, she's really going to die.
"Get up, get up."
Chen Guanshan moved even more ruthlessly:
"She won't die, how could she die so easily?
"It's just a little blood, you really haven't seen the world."
She indeed didn't die.
But it was more painful than dying.
Later she found out that the blood was her first child.
A child she didn't look forward to and even hated.
It was good that it was gone; she was glad the child was gone at the time.
Now, she had another one in her belly.
Still one she hated.
Still not what she wanted.
It didn't matter.
She stood resolutely before Qin Chao's door.
She would deal with Qin Chao first, and then get rid of this baby.
Perhaps, this child would vanish at the exact same time as Qin Chao.
