Chapter 78 Cutting Chu Fang’s backhand
"Zhu Qing, I was like a real sister to your late mother. Whenever your mother was busy, it was only me who used to entertain you!"
Seeing Zhu Qing's emotionless eyes, Zhu Lina, the woman standing in front, cried even more loudly.
Everyone present in the hall had an ugly face, and even though they didn't have much bonding with Zhu Qing, they still agreed that Zhu Lina was so caring and considerate of Zhu Qing, so why is she not being given an antidote?
"Indeed, you are right, but.."
Hearing Zhu Qing's slow yet soft words, Zhu Lina, for a moment, felt that she perhaps could be saved.
"Dear aunty, it's not only me for whom you played an aunt, right?"
"Huhh?"
"Aunty, don't play dumb when I was small, there were many times when you used to disappear from the mansion. When I grew a little.. after telling someone to follow you, I realised that you used to disappear to spend time with a small boy named Chu Fang, and how surprising was the truth....after some investigation, it turned out that you were his real aunt."
"But I still kept quiet thinking you might have a reason."
Hearing her words, the calm on Zhu Lina's face started disappearing at an alarming pace.
"Do you know....Who Su Chen's enemy is?"
"It's your dear Chu Fang!"
"If I save you, I am sure you will definitely help that Chu Fang by leaking many secrets to him."
"I...I"
Zhu Lina's face was pale, this was the thing she was most worried about.
Recently, she got the news that Chu Fang had returned to the country. She had planned to go meet him and at the same time invite him to an important position in their family. Her love for him was more than an aunt should have.
"No, I once asked a famous fortune teller, Chu Fang is a person of great luck. We must stand by his side. I was only waiting for him to return to the country before disclosing this news to everyone. Only by following him can we reach the height our late ancestors dreamed of."
"Yes, as long as we call him, I am sure he will find a solution for us."
With her last-remaining strength, Zhu Lina was urgently uttering everything she had kept hidden.
She thought that by revealing this information the situation might turn around.After all, it was Chu Fang who everyone in their family had been searching for all along.
And, sure enough...hearing that Chu Fang was the chosen and destined one they had been waiting for, the eyes of all the elders in the hall flickered.
But it was too late~
It was too late to turn around the situation.
The layout of Su Chen was so meticulously laid out that even if they knew it, they couldn't do anything.
With Zhu Qing working so diligently to prove her worth in Su Chen's eyes, Zhu Lina's struggle was deemed to be futile.
"As expected!"
"You will definitely betray and stand on his side, making even the remaining family members have no chance for survival."
"That's why I don't want you to live anymore. You were not the one who had undergone torture for two days straight, so you are not much aware. ..His means are something that you can't even imagine, making everyone here disappear is child's play for Su Chen. It's better to understand the situation clearly instead of jumping into the abyss so foolishly."
"For the sake...that our family's bloodline can keep on passing to the next generations, you have to die today, dear aunty!"
Zhu Qing's words were cold. They seemed ruthless.
Everyone thought she didn't have a heart. She couldn't even spare her dear aunty?
But her father, along with some other members who were loyal to her, were different. From Zhu Qing's crisp words, they seemed to understand the underlying message.
Everything was related to Su Chen and Chu Fang.
By putting the facts together they finally realised that perhaps Zhu Qing was aware of how deep the waters were.
Her father was fully supportive of her daughter. The biggest reason for this was that she decided to save her stepmom, who is his current wife. After losing his first wife because of illness, when he seemed to have give up on his life, his second wife brought a new sunlight, a new meaning into his depressed life...When Zhu Qing said that only 4 people can be saved, his heart unintentionally tightened, he knew his wife wasn't talented and instead of her... other talented people would be saved. But his daughter didn't disappoint him as she decided to save her too without caring about others opinions.
If it was the previous Zhu Qing, she would never have been able to go against so many elders to make such a big decision but today she was able to.
All of this happened after she came back from Su Chen's home.
Her weak body couldn't take it anymore.
"My dear Chu Fang, aunt is sorry that she can't be together with you in future."
She was now more confident, more majestic and at last, seeing the things from a big perspective.
He was sure that all her current changes were because of Su Chen.
In the end, he decided to trust his guts and completely trust his daughter. Since his daughter wants to lead the family's future, then as a doting father he can only follow her lead.
He shall support her to take the complete control.
Zhu Lina's legs lost their strength as she fell down on the floor.
"Ple..."
"Please, at least let Chu Fang go."
"He is a good person."
-Zhu Lina spoke in a pleading voice.
"I am sorry, given how his personality is...he is destined to stand against Su Chen, I can only wrong you aunty!"
Zhu Qing, who by now had heard Su Chen and Chu fang's inner voice countless times in her head was finally convinced of how big a scum Chu Fang was.
His lascivious and lusty thoughts were an integral part of his character, when she was being tortured by Ashlynn and Catlynn...she could hear what he was thinking about Lou Rouer and Lu Lann. No matter how stupid she was before, she felt ashamed when she heard him speaking that he wanted to sleep with Lu Lann's sick mother and even was thinking of sleeping with her underage little sister. Such disgusting thoughts were the bottom line that broke her defence.
Zhu Lina who saw Zhu Qing snorting and looking away, felt a thud in her heart.
Maybe she, who only had a couple hours left before poison completely breaks out...for her, the shock was too much to handle at once.
Her weak body couldn't take it anymore.
"My dear Chu Fang, aunt is sorry that she can't be together with you in future."
Whispering her last words, her eyes lost their remaining light.
"Dead?"
A guard standing by the side hastily rushed and exclaimed after examining her body.
