Chapter 687: 687 Find me dead
At this moment, Xiao Yishan walked back into the yard, but as soon as he entered, he headed straight for the backyard. Not long after, he came back holding a cowhide paper package and, with a serious face, handed it to Su Qingyue, “Here!”
She looked up at her second brother’s gloomy face, “What is this?” She knew what it was since the third brother had just described it, but she purposely asked.
“Your deed of sale.” Xiao Yishan’s voice was full of pain. Seeing that she hadn’t taken it yet, he reminded her coldly, “Take it, or else I might change my mind!”
She took it and opened the cowhide package to find a piece of paper inside, which indeed contained… the crookedly written Three-Character Classic.
Her gaze fell on her second brother’s solemn face, then glanced at the third brother.
She was sure that even though her second brother had argued with her, he still couldn’t bear it and returned the deed of sale to her. His conscience wasn’t completely dead yet. However, the second brother didn’t know that the contract had already been replaced by the third brother.
Swearing on the graves of his parents, the third brother said he had torn up the deed of sale long ago.
She was truly free now.
She tore the fake deed of sale to pieces and didn’t reveal that the third brother had swapped it out long ago, “Alright, there’s nothing else to deal with here. Goodbye, handsome Mr. Xiao’s. I’m leaving.”
She stepped toward the outside of the courtyard.
Xiao Qinghe stopped her, “Wife… Qingyue, leave tomorrow.”
She looked back at her fourth brother’s tearful eyes, “Alright.”
“You can’t leave!” The words squeezed out between Xiao Yuchuan’s teeth, “Wife, you can’t just use me and cut me loose, right?”
“What do you mean ‘use and cut loose’?” she snorted, “I, Su Qingyue, tore down the bridge before even crossing the river!”
Yuchuan and Qinghe fell silent.
Xiao Yishan’s face was stern, a cold smile at the corner of his lips, “You’ve all seen it now. We really can’t keep her here any longer.”
Thinking that his wife now had nothing to do with the Xiao family, the tears hidden in Qinghe’s eyes almost fell. He told himself again and again that as long as his wife was happy, it was enough.
“Wife, don’t go.” Xiao Yuchuan went over to stand in front of her, “I won’t let you go!”
“Do you think you can stop me?”
“I won’t stop you.” He smiled, “I’ll follow you wherever you go. No matter where you go, even to the ends of the earth, I’ll follow you!”
“You won’t find me.” If she really wanted to hide from someone, no one could find her.
His expression was especially serious, “If I can’t find you, then I’ll keep looking. I’ll search until I’m old, until I can’t walk, until my hair has turned white, until the day I close my eyes.”
She stared into his solemn and earnest eyes, feeling a warm current flow through her heart.
Yuchuan’s voice was hoarse, “Wife, don’t be so cruel…”
She didn’t want to be, but she had no choice.
Her gaze fell upon Xiao Qinghe, and as she saw the hidden tears in his clear pupils, she felt a moment of reluctance.
Xiao Yishan also stiffened his resolute face, “Wife, it’s my fault. I didn’t want to threaten you; I was just too afraid of losing you… ”
“There’s no need for more words, second brother.” She said indifferently, “You giving me back the deed of sale already conveys your intentions clearly. You didn’t want to see me upset. It’s my fault; I shouldn’t have said those things about you.”
“It’s alright…” He waved it off nonchalantly, “You were right to scold me. I, Xiao Yishan, am indeed a scoundrel! You’ve given so much for the Xiao Family, yet I was almost blinded by my selfishness. Wife, please forgive me!”
