Chapter 687: Can’t Have Her Love
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Suddenly, Ji Yuanyuan thought of something and reminded Lin Nan, “Shen Lingxue knows she accidentally killed someone, so she definitely won’t sit still and wait for death. If she runs away, it will be difficult to find her again…”
Lin Nan was silent for a moment before she said in a whisper, “If Shen Lingxue wanted to run away from what happened last night, she would have done so long ago.”
Ji Yuanyuan remained silent.
After a pause, Lin Nan suddenly stood up, “You reminded me. I have to check Shen Lingxue’s schedule.”
At the police station, she did not mention Shen Lingxue because she did not want to cause any trouble.
Moreover, the police would definitely find Shen Lingxue soon.
However, Ji Yuanyuan had reminded her just now.
If Shen Lingxue ran away, it would be useless even if they traced it back to her.
Lin Nan left in a hurry. Ji Yuanyuan looked at Lin Nan’s back and felt a little complicated.
That night, Lin Nan told Ji Yuanyuan that Shen Lingxue had been detained by the police.
Although she had bought a ticket for a direct flight to Country D at around seven in the morning, there was a snowstorm along the way, and the flight was delayed for more than four hours.
These four hours gave Lin Nan and the police enough time to react.
At the airport, Shen Lingxue was very calm when the police appeared in front of her.
She insisted that Tianhua Zhao’s death had nothing to do with her.
Despite that, the police soon found evidence of Shen Lingxue’s crime.
In the end, Shen Lingxue confessed to the process of her crime and admitted she had accidentally killed Zhao Tianhua.
Ji Yuanyuan learned all this from Lin Nan.
When she heard the news, she found it ridiculous.
Initially, he thought that although Zhao Tianhua and Shen Lingxue had no bottom line, at least their relationship was real.
But now, it seemed that the relationship between them was just that.
Once there was a disagreement between them, they could also deal with each other without any mercy.
Ji Yuanyuan touched her belly, and the corners of her lips twitched.
Shen Lingxue would probably spend the rest of her life in prison.
It was just that Zhao Tianhua had benefited from it and died so easily.
Everyone had to take responsibility for what they had done.
Meanwhile, in the police station, Shen Lingxue gritted her teeth as she looked at the prison’s iron windows.
She did not understand why, since she was young, there would always be trouble every time she felt that she was about to live a good life.
She had no father since she was young and could not even eat her fill with her mother.
Back then, when her mother married Ji Jianguo, she really thought she would have a happy family in the future and would no longer have to wander around. However, that family did not last long before it fell apart.
In the end, the family was gone, and her mother died.
She became an orphan and was sent to a welfare home.
After she was adopted, she had lived a few years of peace. However, all of this ended abruptly after her adoptive mother became pregnant.
In the end, she still returned to the welfare institute. Even her surname was taken back.
She worked hard to climb up the social ladder and live a good life.
But in the end, how did it end up like this?
Shen Lingxue could not understand!
Why was it that the harder she worked, the more pathetic she became?
Now that she thought about it, in the past twenty years, her happiest days were before she was six years old.
At that time, although they had no fixed residence, the mother and daughter depended on each other.
That was the richest moment in her heart.
Unlike now, when there was no one behind her, and no one loved her.
Shen Lingxue shivered and subconsciously wrapped her arms around her legs.
This winter was really cold. It was so cold that it went deep into his bones.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. She seemed to have made many wrong choices in her life.
In the Qin family’s residence, Ji Yuanyuan was lying on the bed with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Under the dim yellow night light, her brows were tightly furrowed.
Qin Mucheng, who was beside her, was leaning against the headboard. He was reading a stack of documents seriously.
Qin Mucheng seemed to have sensed Ji Yuanyuan’s uneasiness and turned his head to look at her.
He then put the documents in his hands and lay beside Ji Yuanyuan. He reached out and pulled Ji Yuanyuan into his arms.
The heater in the room was a little adequate, and pregnant women were particularly afraid of the heat.
Qin Mucheng only felt that Ji Yuanyuan’s body was exceptionally hot.
He got up and walked to the window, opening it a tiny crack.
The wind outside blew in, and the air seemed to be much fresher.
Gradually, Ji Yuanyuan’s furrowed brows relaxed.
Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan’s side profile and heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan was chasing after Zhao Tianhua in his sleep.
She knew that she was in a dream, but she just couldn’t control her footsteps.
Tianhua Zhao kept running in the forest, occasionally looking back in panic. It seemed that someone was chasing him.
He had been holding something in his arms. Even though he was running in a sorry state, he did not throw it away.
Finally, after running for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Tianhua ran to a dead end.
In front of him was a broken cliff, and behind him were the people chasing after him.
Tianhua Zhao was in a panic. After looking around, he suddenly raised the thing in his hand and shouted, “If you come any closer, I will scatter Ji Yuanyuan’s ashes.”
After Zhao Tianhua said this, the few men in black who were chasing him finally stopped.
Tianhua Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. He softened his tone and continued, “Ask Qin Mucheng to come over. I want to see him.”
The scene changed to a helicopter hovering above the mountain.
After the plane landed, Qin Mucheng slowly got off the plane.
He was wearing a black suit, and his expression was cold.
Ji Yuanyuan was shocked when she saw Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng looked like he had aged many years. There was already a lot of white hair on his head and a few wrinkles on his face.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly realized that this was the Qin Mucheng from her previous life.
The thirty-eight-year-old Qin Mucheng from her previous life.
“Give me her ashes!” Qin Mucheng spoke in a cold voice.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes brimmed with tears.
This was what happened after she died in her previous life.
She wanted to hug Qin Mucheng and touch his white hair.
However, this was a dream. She was like a soul that could not be seen or touched. She could not get close to Qin Mucheng at all.
She watched helplessly as her hand passed through Qin Mucheng’s body. She watched helplessly as Qin Mucheng’s gaze passed through her and landed on Zhao Tianhua.
“Prepare 10 million in cash and a car for me, and I’ll give you her ashes.”
“Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me now?” Qin Mucheng said calmly.
“Hahahahaha…” After Qin Mucheng finished speaking, Zhao Tianhua suddenly raised his head and laughed.
After he was done laughing, he lowered his head and looked at Qin Mucheng. He gritted his teeth and said, “Why am I not qualified? Qin Mucheng, what right do you have to look at me with such a high and mighty expression? What’s so great about you? You love the woman I abandoned, but you can’t have her love.. Don’t you find it funny?”
