Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Mei'er felt like her hair was turning gray out of worry. She feared her Miss would make a foolish choice and miss out on snagging a great man like Chief Zhao.

Chen Qiyu sighed and said with a trace of helplessness, "I've told him about what had happened to me, he knows everything. Chief Zhao is a good man and I shouldn't be wasting his time. You should stop talking about him too."

Mei'er was stunned.

The thought of those dark and endless days still struck fear into her heart every time she recalled them, but mostly, she was just sad for her Miss.

Something like that could ruin a person's entire life.

Lu Yunshuang was worse than an animal!

Mei'er's heart went out to her Miss when she saw how indifferent she was to things around her.

Her Miss was still young. She did not deserve to be alone for the rest of her life just because of something that had happened in the past.

It was not even her Miss' fault!

"Miss, since Chief Zhao already knows about this, it means he doesn't mind it at all since he came looking for you. Miss…"

She wanted to continue but Chen Qiyu interrupted her.

"Silly girl. He may overlook it out of pity right now, but if I actually accepted him, this fact about me will show up like a thorn in his heart if we ever get into an argument in the future. It would bury itself deep inside him, and when it accumulates, he will erupt in anger and I shall find myself once again thrown away like garbage."

Mei'er was too naïve. All she was seeing was a moment's pity, and if Chen Qiyu had barreled straight into the man's arms with such a naïve attitude, she would end up being hurt again.

"There's nothing wrong with staying unmarried. At least I won't be tied down and I can live a carefree life," Chen Qiyu said gently. If she wanted to get married in the future, she would choose an ordinary man. That way, she could at least have some say about her life. She would not have to live with low self-esteem and feel like dirt because her partner was too outstanding.

Mei'er did not understand this entirely, but she had no reply to her Miss' words.

However, she gave a solemn promise. "I will be by your side for the rest of my life."

Chen Qiyu placed down a flower she had cut and turned to hold Mei'er's hand. She said lovingly, "My dear Mei'er, do not treat yourself as my maidservant from today onward. You know I have always treated you as my younger sister, and now I am but an ordinary woman. I would be happier if you could call me your Big Sis."

Mei'er had been with Chen Qiyu for a long time. When they were locked up at the brothel, Mei'er did not abandon her and was the one who had treated her the best in the world. Chen Qiyu had always treated Mei'er as her younger sister.

She could not allow Mei'er to spend her entire life by her side. If there was someone suitable, Chen Qiyu wanted to grant Mei'er an honorable marriage.

Zhao Heng stood below a flower wall and watched both women in the garden, but he did not approach them.

He turned to leave the backyard.

Chen Qiyu and Mei'er had been chatting in the backyard for some time when suddenly, they heard Aunt Liu shouting at the front of the house.

"Stop fighting…"

Chen Qiyu was shocked by the sound and immediately hurried out.

When she arrived at the front yard, she saw that Zhao Heng was in a fight with Chen Xuping, whom no one knew had returned.

They were pummeling each other viciously.

Chen Qiyu frowned as she watched Aunt Liu anxiously circling about, but her father was standing on the steps with a hand behind his back. He did not seem bothered to try pulling them apart and Chen Qiyu suddenly understood why Zhao Heng was fighting with her older brother.

She had mixed emotions about this.

Aunt Liu quickly approached Chen Qiyu when she saw her. There was a worried look on Aunt Liu's face. "Yu'er, it's good that you're here. Hurry up and talk to them. Make them stop fighting."

"Big Brother Zhao, whatever happened to me has nothing to do with my brother. Why are you beating him up?" Chen Qiyu approached the men and called out after giving this some thought.

The two men were in a rage and held no quarter during the fight. Both men were already heavily bruised.

They were seething with anger and did not hear Chen Qiyu's words. All they wanted was to beat down the other man and they did not even notice that Chen Qiyu was approaching them.

Zhao Heng had always despised Chen Xuping for acting like a dog around Lu Yunshuang and taking orders from her so obediently. When he found out later what Lu Yunshuang had done to Chen Qiyu, the hatred was transferred to Chen Xuping and he loathed him for this as well.
