Chapter 1727 - 1727 Xia Mingcheng's Grat.i.tude

1727 Xia Mingchengs Grat.i.tude

Since she had decided to marry this man back then, she was already prepared to have a wedding. Naturally, she was happy. The couple stuck to each other in the car for a long time before Chi Shuyan hurried to cla.s.s late.

The man stared at his wifes back until she entered the university and disappeared. Only then did he drive away.

After the morning cla.s.ses, Chi Shuyan planned to go to Imperial Restaurant for lunch. She didnt expect to run into Xia Mingcheng as soon as she left the university. Chi Shuyan wasnt surprised that Xia Mingcheng had specially come to find her, so she simply invited him to Imperial Restaurant for lunch.

Xia Mingcheng didnt refuse. Okay!

Chi Shuyan took him to the private room which Chef Li had specially reserved for her at Imperial Restaurant, and took out a menu to order food. Who knew if it was because of the shock of the Yuan womans death last night, but Xia Mingcheng was in a daze and wore a complicated expression. It was only when he heard Master Chi ask him to order food that he came back to his senses. He hurriedly handed the menu back to her. Im not picky, Master Chi. Anything is fine.

Seeing that Xia Mingcheng really didnt plan to order, Chi Shuyan didnt waste any more time. It just so happened that Chef Lis cooking was good, and every dish could be said to be a signature dish. It was a pity that given Xia Mingchengs expression today, he probably wasnt in the mood to eat, no matter how delicious the food was.

Imperial Restaurant had quick service, let alone when it came to Miss Shuyan. Chef Li personally cooked all these dishes, and they smelled delicious once they were placed on the table. Chi Shuyan wasnt that hungry at first, but now, she had an appet.i.te. She didnt stop taking food with her chopsticks.

Although Xia Mingcheng was also surprised by the aroma of the food in this restaurant, he really didnt have any appet.i.te. Even when Master Chi urged him to eat, Xia Mingcheng only nodded and said that he would eat later, but never touched his chopsticks.

Chi Shuyan ate until she was half-full. Xia Mingcheng had yet to bring up the matter at hand, but she wasnt in a hurry. After a long while, Xia Mingcheng said, Master Chi, I came to see you today for two reasons. The first is that my brother will be discharged from the hospital today. My family is very grateful to you. Thank you for saving my brothers life.

Chi Shuyan interrupted him at that moment. As for that, they should thank you. When you bought talismans from me back then, I gave you a few pointers at most it is to your credit that you believed me and gave the talismans to your family.

Xia Mingcheng hurriedly shook his head and denied it. Master Chi, without your Safety Talisman, Mingzhen

Chi Shuyan interrupted him again. That was nothing. The person he should thank the most is you, his brother! Seeing that Xia Mingcheng still wanted to pursue this matter, Chi Shuyan smiled and said, Okay, lets not talk about this anymore. The most important thing is that your brother is fine.

Hearing Master Chis words, Xia Mingcheng felt even more grateful. He was very glad that he had believed Master Chi back then. If he hadnt believed in Master Chi, but trusted that woman, Yuan Yuan, instead Xia Mingcheng didnt dare imagine the consequences. Occasionally, when he thought about it, he would break out in a cold sweat and panic.

Xia Mingcheng was also a decisive and no-nonsense person. After listening to Master Chi, he didnt dwell on this matter anymore and continued, Theres one more thing. Yang Ji and the others originally wanted to come and thank you in person, but we heard from Director Feng that youre still studying and the final exams are coming up, so it isnt good to disturb you. So, theyve asked me to thank you on their behalf. Thank you, Master Chi, for saving us back then. Otherwise, Im afraid no one would have had a good ending.

Xia Mingchengs eyes were filled with genuine grat.i.tude. As he spoke, he also mentioned the fee, and said that the rest of the fee and amount for the talismans would be transferred to her Alipay account today.

Listening to Xia Mingchengs sincere and grateful att.i.tude, Chi Shuyan appreciated it. She smiled and said, Its good that everyone is fine and safe. Live well in the future.

Xia Mingcheng nodded, still a bit dazed. Chi Shuyan was a smart person. She could tell that the other party had something to say to her. She had always had a good impression of Xia Mingcheng, so her att.i.tude was good at that moment. She smiled kindly and said, Mr. Xia, feel free to ask. Ill naturally answer if I can.

As soon as she said that, Xia Mingcheng relaxed. He no longer hesitated, but got straight to the point. Master Chi, Yuan Yuan died last night? The rest of us saw her body!

To be honest, when Xia Mingcheng saw the womans corpse last night, he only felt like a weight had been lifted off; he had no sympathy for her. At the thought that his friends and even the person he loved had died at the hands of this woman, Xia Mingcheng still had the urge to flog her corpse for a moment. He also felt that her death had been too easy. Fortunately, this woman had died in a very wretched manner; that was the only thing that comforted him.

He had come to find Master Chi this time to ask why that Yuan woman wanted to harm them. How had they offended her that she had to be so ruthless? He could understand why she was jealous of Liling and had killed her, but he still couldnt figure out why she had harmed the others.

He wasnt the only one who wanted to know the truth. Yang Ji and the others also wanted to know. Xia Mingcheng also asked this question directly.

Chi Shuyans expression changed a little when she heard this. Do you really want to know? Speaking of which, it really wouldnt do Xia Mingcheng any good if he found out. Chi Shuyan deliberately said, You should know that sometimes, theres no benefit in deliberately pursuing the truth. Will you reconsider?

Obviously, Xia Mingcheng wanted an answer.

Chi Shuyan sighed. She really felt that it was best for Xia Mingcheng not to know the truth. After interacting with him for a while, she felt that this young man was indeed an outstanding and good person. She didnt want him to live in guilt forever in the future. It wasnt easy to carry the weight of several lives, let alone that of someone you liked. If she told him the truth, this young man would probably still have trauma when he found a partner in the future.

To be honest, Xia Mingcheng hadnt done anything wrong at all.

The person in the wrong was that greedy and vicious Yuan woman; Xia Mingcheng was an indirect victim.

What he probably regretted the most was that Yuan woman taking a fancy to him. The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she sympathized with the young man in front of her. Seeing that Master Chi didnt speak for a long time, Xia Mingcheng felt very uneasy, but he still wanted to know the truth. He could only insist, Master Chi, I want to know the truth!

Chi Shuyans thoughts moved, and she sighed. Okay!

Even though she said that, Chi Shuyan didnt plan to tell the actual truth, which was that Yuan woman had taken so many lives for his sake, so Chi Shuyan might as well simply give another reason. Of course, the Yuan womans greed and selfishness was indeed one of them.

To put it bluntly, everything had happened because of Yuan Yuans greed. She wanted something that didnt belong to her. She thought too much and was too narrow-minded. She had a poor character to begin with, and wanted the reward without working for it. She even used evil magic to achieve her goal. As the saying went, one couldnt live without reaping what they sowed.

So, Chi Shuyan placed all the blame on the other partys greed. This indeed has nothing to do with you. At the end of the day, it was mainly because of her greed and ill intentions. It can be said that you were the indirect cause of Yan Lilings death because of that Yuan womans jealousy, but the deaths of the others were due to her selfish desires. All of you probably offended her unknowingly at some point in time. You might think it was a small matter, but she held a grudge and has wanted revenge all this time. She was just a petty person! Her tragic death was also her own doing. As the saying goes, those who persist in doing evil will bring about their own destruction. Her death has nothing to do with you or anyone else. As for those who died before, that has nothing to do with you or anyone else. It was all due to that Yuan woman. All of you live peacefully in the future. Dont think too much about other things. As the saying goes, there is good fortune after surviving a calamity. Enjoy your life and look ahead. Forget what happened in the past.

Chi Shuyan spoke earnestly. Fortunately, her words were very useful. Xia Mingchengs originally gloomy and conflicted expression gradually relaxed, as if the knot in his heart had been loosened. In fact, Xia Mingcheng had always blamed himself for the deaths of his girlfriend and friends, which weighed heavily on him.

Although he couldnt let go of everything immediately, Master Chis deliberate rea.s.surance made Xia Mingcheng even more grateful to her, and he thanked her repeatedly. I understand, Master Chi!
