Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

He was disappointed that Ye Tianxin did not have an ounce of faith in him.

He had once thought that as long as he was by Ye Tianxin’s side, she then would come to his side happily.

However, reality had shown him clearly that Ye Tianxin did not need him.

He thought that Ye Tianxin was being childish and trying to spite him when she said that she did not need him.

It wasn’t until now, when Ye Tianxin had treated him coldly and indifferently as if he were nothing, that he understood that she was being truthful.

She did not need him.

She did not need his love.

She did not need his money.

She did not need his home.

She did not need anything from him.

If she needed one thing, then perhaps it was that she hoped that they could become strangers from now on.

“Elder Sister, no matter how you deny it, Dad’s blood flows in you…and me,” Lu Qingxin said, trying to persuade Ye Tianxin.

Li Qingcang raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

His bodyguards came and showed them the way out. They escorted them to the elevator.

Lu Qingxin looked at the closing elevator doors in despair and at Li Qingcang through the crack.

How could he be so handsome? So domineering?

Every action of his showed sophistication that seemed natural.

There were nobility and pride in his cold and emotionless eyes.

He was tall and well built. He was remarkable.

“Qingxin, what are you thinking about?”

Gu Yancheng asked when he saw Lu Qingxin silent, staring nowhere.

Lu Qingxin’s thoughts were interrupted, and she answered softly, “I was thinking about Elder Sister… What should we do if she refuses to forgive us?”

“Qingxin, why are you so kind? People could use one’s kindness to abuse them. These people, they don’t deserve it.”

Gu Yancheng affectionately patted Lu Qingxin’s hair. He had to be strong for Lu Qingxin. He didn’t want to be a burden to her. She’s already occupied with so many things.

…

“Elder Brother Li, don’t bother with them in the future. They are just like that. Give them an inch, and they will take a mile.”

Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang entered the hospital room, and Ye Tianxin poured him a glass of warm water.

“I don’t intend to acknowledge him. I didn’t do so in the past, and I won’t in the future.”

Li Qingcang, however, had a different view. He took the glass from her and took a sip from it. Then, he said, “I feel that he wants something from you. This might have something to do with your mother.”

Ye Tianxin hesitated for a moment. She spoke, “My mother has been missing for over 10 years. What has it got to do with her?”

Ye Tianxin suddenly fell silent. A shocked expression crossed her face.

‘Has Lu Jijun had something to do with my mom’s disappearance? Did he…did he kill her?’ Ye Tianxin pondered. There hasn’t been any news from her mother since she left their home.

Why had there not been any news?

If her mother was still alive, why didn’t she get in touch with Grandma?

Her mother had not contacted them since she left, and there was only one possible explanation. Could her mother have already passed away?

Think about it. If her mother and Lu Jijun were deeply in love with each other, then when her mother found out that Lu Jijun had married another woman, she would definitely be upset…

Lu Jijun might have killed her mother out of his own selfishness.

The thought filled Ye Tianxin’s heart with dread.

Li Qingcang comforted her, saying, “Don’t let your mind run wild. He would have gone to jail if he had killed your mother.”

“Then why did my mother go missing?” Ye Tianxin’s voice trembled as tears welled in her eyes.

“I think that we have to investigate it,” Li Qingcang suggested. “Perhaps there is more that we don’t know about what happened between Auntie and Lu Jijun…”
