Chapter 100: No Regrets
Qi Yuan didn't say that aloud.
She didn't know why she didn't say it. Maybe it was for her own selfish reasons, or maybe she didn't want to put her sister on the spot...
"Qi Yuan." The girl pinched her sister's soft ear and smiled. "Do you have a good impression of Chu Yuan?"
"Eh?" Qi Yuan had nothing to hide from her sister. She thought for a long time and nodded seriously. "Maybe, a little bit."
When Qi Yao got this answer, her eyes flashed with sadness, but it was quickly replaced by teasing.
"When you mention him now, your eyes light up."
"Really?" Qi Yuan's cheeks blushed slightly, and she whispered, "I’m just a little fond of him... just a little bit." She used her index finger and thumb to indicate a distance of one centimeter, emphasizing, "Just a little bit."
Holding her sister's hand, Qi Yao smiled slightly. "Xiaoyuan, since you said that, I feel a little relieved... Although I don't want to get married, if you don't like that person, there’s no need to exchange identities with me."
"Sister, do you think I'm the kind of person who would suffer grievances?" To prove the man's kindness, Qi Yuan recounted what happened on today's date.
"When we came out of the amusement park and went to buy ice cream, we saw a guy beating and cursing a stray dog on the roadside. The dog was skinny and small, but when the guy punched and kicked it, it didn't bite him and just kept barking. It looked so pitiful.
"I intervened and went up to stop the guy, but he seemed to be drunk and wanted to beat me up.
"And then!" When talking about the key point, Qi Yuan's eyes flashed brightly and she subconsciously raised her voice. "Chu Yuan knocked the man down in just a few moves and asked him to apologize to me. Sister, he looked so handsome when he fought!"
Qi Yao listened quietly and asked with interest, "Then what happened?"
"Then, we sent the dog to the stray animal rescue center together. I learned that Chu Yuan had worked as a volunteer there before and had donated money..." Qi Yuan clenched her fists. "Sister, he’s really a gentle person!"
"Is he your type?"
"Yeah!" Qi Yuan was a little dispirited again. "I hope he's not pretending."
"Xiaoyuan, since you’ve decided to accept him, you must have faith in yourself." Qi Yao said casually, "Based on that drinking experience, Chu Yuan is indeed a good person."
Qi Yuan looked at her sister with a complicated expression. "Sister, you..."
"But he's not my type." Qi Yao said, "I don't have any feelings for him at all."
She didn't know whether she was saying that to convince her sister or herself.
……
"I know my sister was attracted to that guy... This was the first time in her life that someone had taken her to a bar, done something rebellious with her, and even solved her problem perfectly. How could she not be attracted? How could she not be attracted?"
This diary was written on the eve of the engagement. When Qi Yuan flipped past that page, she found that the next page had been torn off.
She intuitively felt that the page which was torn off contained very important content. Qi Yuan tried hard to recall what she had written in her diary, but to no avail.
Turning over the torn page, the next diary entry was written half a year later.
XX/XX/20XX, rainy, twelve o’clock sharp.
I couldn't believe that my father was such a person. How could he do this? Weren't the Chu family our family friends? He chose to form a marriage alliance with the Chu family, yet why did he make such a decision? I couldn't understand. He had really gone too far!
……
It was just a short paragraph with messy handwriting and sharp strokes, revealing Qi Yuan's rage and dilemma when she wrote this paragraph.
"Did Dad... do anything outrageous?"
Qi Yuan continued to flip forward.
The next diary entry was a week later.
"I’ll never forgive my father or my sister. They colluded to lie to me. I hate them! I’ll never forgive them!"
Looking at the date in the diary, it was written three days before the car accident, and there was no other content in the diary after that.
In other words, on the third day after she wrote these words, she and Qi Yao had a car accident.
She survived, but Qi Yao died.
Considering the contents of the diary, Qi Yuan had a terrible guess.
The car accident... Was it really an accident? Did Qi Yao really die in her bid to protect her?
Judging from the hatred for her father and sister revealed in her writing, could it be that the car accident was actually a revenge arranged by her?
Her sister died, she lost her memory, and in order to protect her, her parents could only claim that it was an accident?
Qi Yuan closed the diary and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
What happened back then? And what was written on that torn page?
No, she couldn't let her imagination run wild. What happened back then could still be traced. Chu Yuan was around.
Chu Yuan was in the study next door. As long as she asked him, she would definitely know what happened back then.
The girl walked out of the room and stopped at the door of the study.
Chu Yuan, who was flipping through a book casually, heard footsteps, and looked up at her. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Have you finished reading?"
"Yeah." The truth was right in front of her, but considering the hatred Chu Yuan showed towards the Qi family, she suddenly got cold feet.
If her father and sister really did something outrageous to Chu Yuan, what should she do?
As if seeing through her hesitation, Chu Yuan leaned on the desk with one hand and asked her, "What do you want to ask me?"
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yuan walked towards the man in front of the desk, and towards the truth of the past.
"Chu Yuan, please tell me what happened back then."
Meeting the girl's determined gaze, Chu Yuan was in a trance for a moment before he smiled. "If you want to know, I can tell you."
"Thank you, Chu Yuan."
What happened back then...
In his memory, the changes in his family happened suddenly.
His grandfather died of illness and was found to have been poisoned. The police investigated it and eventually pointed the finger at his father.
His father was taken away as a suspect. He knew that his opponent was well prepared, so he ordered his men to find out the truth about his grandfather's death.
Unexpectedly, before there were any results, someone stepped forward and accused his father of poisoning.
"Qi Yuan, the person who stepped forward to testify was your father, Qi Zhengguo."
His father’s former best friend suddenly stepped forward and accused his father of a false charge.
"After my father learned the news, he met with me and asked me to leave Fengyang as soon as possible." Chu Yuan clenched his fists slowly, his voice hoarse. "Then, the next day, the police station called me and said that my father had committed suicide."
Qi Yuan stopped herself from gasping.
"My father already knew that our opponent was targeting the Chu family's eldest son’s family, so he asked me to leave." After a long pause, Chu Yuan continued, "I didn't listen to him and tried to seek justice for him on my own. As a result... those people didn't kill me, but sent me to the laboratory in Xiling, where I spent the most miserable four years of my life."
"Chu Yuan..." Qi Yuan was so shocked that her body went numb. Her mouth was faster than her brain and she asked, "Why did my father do such a thing?"
They were relatives by marriage and friends who supported each other. Why did her father do that?
