Yan Xia turned to look at Jiang Yue in a somewhat out-of-control manner.
"What did you just say?"
Cheng Hua... had ruined Lu Qianzhou's entire life? And to him, she was the daughter of his enemy?
What on earth was she talking about?
Jiang Yue gave Yan Xia a hard push, causing her to stagger backward two steps. She had to reach out a hand to support herself against the wall to steady her body.
"You actually don't know. You know nothing at all." Jiang Yue's emotions were getting out of control. "Qianzhou has been tortured by the past for so many years, while the criminal still roams free and lives a carefree life. If there really are heaven and hell in this world, then your father is the one who most deserves to go to hell!"
Yan Xia clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug deep into her palms.
"He's been scheming something lately, but I guess he didn't tell you exactly what it is. I can tell you. His ultimate goal is to send your father and you to hell together. Don't you love him? Aren't you willing to die for him? Fine, then go and die! Why don't you just die!"
She was almost shouting.
Yan Xia propped one hand against the wall. The pressure on her heart was too great. She grabbed the fabric of her clothes there tightly with one hand.
Jiang Yue's words were like a thunderclap exploding above her head. These words were like needles, stabbing one by one into her heart.
All her suspicions and doubts were finally explained at this moment.
Why Lu Qianzhou had always been two - faced towards Cheng Hua, why he always said there was some misunderstanding between him and her father but refused to tell her what it was. Why Cheng Hua was so vigilant and resistant to Lu Qianzhou, why he desperately tried to stop her from being with Lu Qianzhou but then urgently pushed them to get married.
It was because only if they got married and even had children could there be a guarantee.
By publicly acknowledging Yan Xia as his wife in front of everyone, they would naturally become a family. At that time, whether due to public pressure or other reasons, they wouldn't completely fall out and fight to the death.
Yan Xia thought that Cheng Hua should have been in a stage of testing all along, trying to figure out whether Lu Qianzhou was here for revenge. So he didn't dare to easily believe anything Lu Qianzhou said.
But she still refused to believe that Lu Qianzhou could be so heartless.
She trembled as she looked up. "What on earth did my dad do to Third Brother?"
She couldn't figure out what kind of heinous things Cheng Hua had done behind the scenes that could make Lu Qianzhou suffer for so many years.
Over the years... in front of her and her sister, Cheng Hua had always been the image of a kind - hearted father. What a hypocrite this man she called father actually was behind the scenes!
There were already tears welling up in Jiang Yue's eyes. They would fall with just a slight movement. "You want to know? I won't tell you. I want you to taste this kind of heart - wrenching feeling of not getting what you want."
Actually, she didn't have to tell all this to Cheng Yanxia. If she waited for Lu Qianzhou to take action himself, and one day learned the truth from his mouth, she would be a thousand times more painful than now.
But she didn't dare to take the risk. She knew Lu Qianzhou too well.
He should have taken action when Cheng Hua was released from prison, but he hadn't done so and had gradually delayed until now. She was afraid that Lu Qianzhou had really fallen in love with Cheng Yanxia and was even willing to give up his plan for her.
If he really did that, all her waiting these days would be in vain. She was willing to wait for Lu Qianzhou to finish everything, but this waiting was based on the premise that there would be a result.
Yan Xia could no longer hold back. "Tell me what exactly happened. Please..."
Jiang Yue sneered maliciously. "Now that you already know. Don't you believe me? You can choose to ask your beast of a father, or you can choose to ask Qianzhou and see if he'll still say he loves you after the last shred of pretense is torn off!"
She just wanted to use such words to stimulate her and make her suffer.
From the day she snatched what belonged to her, she should be prepared to give it all back!
Yan Xia still didn't believe that Lu Qianzhou would be so heartless as to take action against her.
Even though he hated Cheng Hua and the Cheng family so much, he had never taken action against her and had always let her stay by his side safely.
If what Jiang Yue said was true, then she would find out the truth and spend the rest of her life atoning for the sins with Cheng Hua, praying for his forgiveness.
She was in a daze, her nerves highly tense. She trembled as she walked out. She had to go find Lu Qianzhou and ask the truth from his mouth.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue grabbed her back, with a malicious smile on her face, taunting her.
"You still think you have the face to see him. Do you not believe what I said or are you just not willing to give up?" Jiang Yue suddenly took out her phone, found the recording, and clicked play on a recording in front of Yan Xia. "Fine, then I'll convince you. Listen carefully. This is what Qianzhou said with his own mouth."
At the beginning of the recording, there was a burst of noisy sounds, and then came Jiang Yue's voice.
"What's wrong with you these days? You're in a really bad state. Didn't you say you were already making a plan to make the people of the Cheng family pay for their crimes? They won't have a good time."
Lu Qianzhou didn't say a word. He just raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Jiang Yue seized the opportunity. "Are you too tired? I just learned a new head - massage technique recently. Let me give you a head massage?"
Over the years, she had learned a lot of massage techniques, but rarely had the opportunity to use them on Lu Qianzhou.
"No need." Lu Qianzhou refused hoarsely.
"You've really kept it a tight secret. Even I didn't know that the so - called Lu Sheng was actually Cheng Yanxia." Jiang Yue asked, "You've kept her around until now. Are you wavering?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Yue continued. "Actually, you've already planned everything and could take action at any time, but you've been postponing the plan. You're not such an indecisive person. What are you waiting for? Or are you soft - hearted for someone?"
She deliberately said such words to test Lu Qianzhou. How could he not hear what she meant? Just a look from him made Jiang Yue shut up.
After a moment of silence, she still couldn't help but say.
"I didn't want to say this, but you have to consider your own condition. Cheng Yanxia can't stay by your side. If you really marry her, be prepared to make the old man die of anger."
Lu Qianzhou said coldly, "You've talked too much today."
Yan Xia's heart was pounding. The conversation just now was enough to prove that most of what Jiang Yue said was true.
She couldn't control her emotions and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
After another long period of silence, at the end of the audio, Jiang Yue asked Lu Qianzhou.
"Even if you plan to let Cheng Yanxia go, what about Cheng Hua? Are you going to let both of them go or follow the original plan... Heaven or hell, you have to choose one."
Yan Xia held her breath, waiting for Lu Qianzhou's final verdict. He was like an executioner holding a knife. Life and death were in his hands.
Finally, she heard Lu Qianzhou say.
"After waiting for so many years, what do you think I've been waiting for?" That day, his emotions were not very stable. He casually threw the documents in his hand aside. His voice was cold and intimidating. "Follow the original plan."
