Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 462
Chapter 462: Act More Humbly
Chen Xuping was speechless.
Before today, he had been thinking of killing Lu Liangwei and wishing for her death every second.
Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Lin Qingyuan said mockingly, “You resented Lu Liangwei for so many years just because of a cat, but did it ever cross your mind that Lu Yunshuang was the one who killed it and put the blame on her?”
Chen Xuping frowned. “But Lu Liangwei was right there when I found the cat…”
“So you just assumed that Lu Liangwei was the cat killer?” Lin Qingyuan sneered.
Chen Xuping furrowed his brow. At that time, he could not find his cat after looking everywhere, but when he did, it was on the verge of death, and Lu Liangwei was right there.
Was it really not her who killed the cat?
However, if it was not, then who did?
“By the way, why did you mean when you said Lu Yunshuang was so kind that she would even weep for the death of a small animal?”
Chen Xuping pursed his chapped lips and said with difficulty, “When I found my cat, it was still barely breathing, but it couldn’t hold on and eventually died. I was looking for a place to bury it when I met Lu Yunshuang. She was devastated to see its tragic state, and she even buried it together with me.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyuan said thoughtfully, “Did it ever cross your mind that meeting Lu Yunshuang wasn’t a coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences in the world?”
Stunned, Chen Xuping tried to recall the time he met Lu Yunshuang when he was a child.
Just because Lu Yunshuang had wept so mournfully for a kitten, he thought that she was a kind soul and started getting in touch with her more frequently after that.
He gradually got attracted to her and was willing to do anything for her.
However, if that encounter was not a coincidence, could it be that Lu Yunshuang had premeditated it?
Why would she do that?
Chen Xuping suddenly shuddered.
If it was not a coincidence, then did it mean that Lu Yunshuang had staged it?
She was already such a scheming person at such a young age?
She must have known how much the cat meant to him, so she deliberately appeared in front of him at that time.
Seeing him deep in thought, Lin Qingyuan knew that he had probably realized something and was even more scornful.
Even if Chen Xuping now regretted his actions, she could not sympathize with him at all.
All the evil he had committed could not be pardoned just because he repented.
Lin Qingyuan did not want to stay there any longer.
It was enough for her to see the person who had tried to harm her end up like this.
Seeing that she was leaving, Chen Xuping hurriedly said, “Lin Qingyuan, we grew up together after all. Can you help me deliver my message to the Emperor?”
Lin Qingyuan looked at him disdainfully. “When you tried to kill me, did you think of all the years we spent growing up together? How could you have the gall to ask this of me now?”
Chen Xuping was dejected. Indeed, he had not hesitated to kill Lin Qingyuan when she accidentally discovered his secret back then.
Lin Qingyuan said furiously, “If Lu Liangwei hadn’t helped me escape by faking my death, I’d probably be dead now. You’ve never felt an ounce of mercy for me, so why should I help you?”
Chen Xuping clenched his fists. Thinking of the hundreds of lives in his family, he finally gritted his teeth and got down on his knees. “I’m begging you.”
Watching him kneeling with his back straight, Lin Qingyuan said coldly, “Is that how you beg for help?”
Hearing this, Chen Xuping was a little hesitant.
Lin Qingyuan folded her arms across her chest. “If you want to beg me, you’d better act more humbly. If you can make me satisfied, I might just agree to your request.”
