416 If You Want To Know, See It For Yourself (Part 2)
Wang Ru looked at Hu Futan’s furious and self-deprecating expression. She smiled and said, “Brother Hu, you are indeed a fool. Why did Sister Jiang love you so much?”
At the mention of Jiang Xiaoyan, Hu Futan’s expression turned to anger. He knew that Wang Ru was deliberately rubbing salt into his wound. He gritted his teeth and said, “Enough.”
He knew he was a bastard, knew he was wrong, but he had no chance to redo it.
The dead could not be resurrected.
Hu Futan hugged his head and squatted down, crying.
Seeing him in such a sorry state, Wang Ru sighed. “Jiang Xiaoyan was smart and saw through me. She could have easily taken my life, but she cared too much about you, Brother Hu. She didn’t want to break up with you, so she didn’t dare to make a move and had to tolerate me.”
“She knew that I had ill intentions. She wanted to pull you out of the quagmire, but you wanted to jump in yourself. Miss Liu is also very capable. I thought that I was doomed for sure, but I didn’t expect Brother Hu to still believe me a few days ago. Since then, Jiang Xiaoyan’s heart died. When she died, she probably still had you in her heart.”
Wang Ru said lightly. Since she planned to let Hu Futan understand everything, she did not want to hide anything. If she didn’t make herself clear with this fool, Hu Futan would probably still think she was the one he used to know.
She, Wang Ru, was not like Jiang Xiaoyan. She was not kind and benevolent.
Hu Futan was already in pain. He begged. “Don’t say anymore. I beg you.”
Wang Ru smiled and said, “Let’s bring everything out in the open. What is Brother Hu running away from? Do you feel guilty? Do you feel sorry for Jiang Xiaoyan? Actually, you don’t have to do this. Jiang Xiaoyan won’t blame you at all. Don’t worry, she didn’t hate you when she died.”
Hu Futan looked up at Wang Ru.
Wang Ru smiled at him. “Jiang Xiaoyan was a stubborn woman. Even if Brother Hu never had her in your heart, she wouldn’t blame you. She’s just stupid. There were so many paths in this world. Why did she have to take the one with a dead end? However, I have to thank her. If she wasn’t so stupid, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
“To Jiang Xiaoyan, that day was a life-and-death battle. What she wanted was for you to wake up and see everything clearly. She would accept any choice you made after that. She just thought that this path had been completed and she could not even find a gap to squeeze through. Since it had been completed, why should she be unwilling to die? I’ve made it clear. Do you understand now, Brother Hu?”
“However, she probably didn’t expect that after she died, you would discover her in your heart. It’s really funny.”
What had Hu Futan been doing when she was alive? Now that she was dead, he actually started missing her all the time.
Since Jiang Xiaoyan was dead, there was no harm in telling Hu Futan about it.
Hu Futan was also a person who had taken the path with a dead end. Even though Wang Ru had left him more than ten years ago, as soon as she came back, Hu Futan couldn’t wait to reunite with her.
Hu Futan’s face was covered in tears. His heart ached. He raised his hand and pointed at Wang Ru, but in the end, he felt powerless and put it down. He had no right to accuse Wang Ru of lying to him.
He had asked for it. He deserved it.
Yan Zhen hugged Wang Ru. “Don’t talk to him anymore.”
Wang Ru nodded. She lifted her skirt and grabbed the baby out. Of course, it was stillborn.
Hu Futan’s vision was blurry. He choked and said, “You didn’t want to be with me. Why did you give birth to this child?”
A stillborn was also a life. Hu Futan did not believe that five days would feel like five months at all. However, when he looked at the baby, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Wang Ru was clearly a demon!
How could a human be so cruel? In her hands, the baby was like something that could be disposed of at will.
Wang Ru said indifferently, “Of course it’s for the array formation. If Brother Hu has sensed my memories, you should know about that monk, right? The child is the center of the array formation. I can only succeed if the baby is related to you. Your life was given to you by Jiang Xiaoyan. I can’t take it away, so I can only have a child with you.”
Hu Futan’s eyes widened.
Yan Zhen took out a box from somewhere and Wang Ru placed the baby’s body inside. Yan Zhen helped Wang Ru to the courtyard.
Soon, Hu Futan heard the sound of digging. He stood up unsteadily and followed them out.
Wang Ru sat in the courtyard. Yan Zhen gave her a small hoe. She slowly dug a spot in the middle of the courtyard.
Hu Futan leaned against the door, feeling that everything he knew had been overturned.
Wang Ru buried something in this courtyard?
The baby as the center of the array formation…
Hu Futan looked at Wang Ru. The more he looked at her, the more afraid he became.
Wang Ru had just given birth. Her body was a little weak, and she did not seem to have much strength. Yan Zhen was wiping away the sweat on her forehead.
Wang Ru smiled at him. She could only do this herself.
After digging a foot deep, she finally touched the box and dug it out.
Yan Zhen said, “Let’s put it in quickly.”
Wang Ru nodded. Just as she was about to open the box, she let out a scream and flung the box away. She shook her hand as if she had been scalded.
Yan Zhen frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Wang Ru stretched out her hand. Her palm was charred black, as if she had been scalded by something. Yan Zhen’s expression turned cold. “How did this happen?”
Wang Ru’s hand hurt terribly. “I-I don’t know. That monk said that if the array formation is weak, we can fill it with another child. Why is the box so hot?”
The sudden turn of events was hard for Wang Ru to accept.
The box that was thrown away was not too far. There was nothing usual about it, but Wang Ru and Yan Zhen did not dare to touch it.
Wang Ru’s entire palm seemed to have lost a layer of skin. Her face was pale. “What should I do? My hand is like this. I don’t want to touch it again.”
She did not dare at all.
When Hu Futan saw this scene, he suddenly laughed.
Wang Ru glared fiercely at Hu Futan. Her eyes were filled with the desire to kill him.
Hu Futan was still laughing. No one knew if he was laughing at himself or at Wang Ru.
Wang Ru gritted her teeth. Yan Zhen pushed her. “Go and pick it up. Once this array formation is fixed, the entire Hu family will be ours. I’ll find a doctor to treat your hand. As long as we have money, we can get anything.”
Wang Ru did not want to touch it anymore. She hesitated. At this moment, a big black dog walked in, bit the box, and walked out. Wang Ruyan’s expression changed drastically.
