Chapter 626 The past (1)

Chapter 626 The past (1) Lihua was discharged two days later with the twins after all the health signs came out to be normal. Bojing shed tears as he bid them goodbye.

"I-I will miss you..." he gasped and sniffled. He looked at Weiyun and Limei and waved his hand towards them. The twins only stared at him questioningly.

Mingshen grimaced. "Why are you crying like you will never meet them again!? Stop with the tears already! It's not like this is the last time you are gonna see them!"

He burst into tears. "I-I know but..."

Lihua asked with a sparkled gaze, "Bojing, why don't you come with us too!? It will be so much fun!"

Bojing beamed. Mingshen wasn't so thrilled. "Hey! You already stole my cat! You dare steal my assistant and you will have it from me!"

Her mouth twitched. "I didn't steal Qingqing! It was her choice, hmpf!"

He rolled his eyes.

Wei then said with a serious countenance, "Bojing should come too. Now that the twins are born, I should tell you everything about the past. The Cheng family would also have to say a lot of things."

The air was silent for a moment, and she nodded. "I see."

Mingshen raised his brow. "If you're gonna talk about Spicy and all, which I know you will, then I would come too."

Everybody was gathered in the Zhao villa, carrying tension in their expressions and shoulders. It was only retelling the past as how it had happened, yet the atmosphere felt heavy.

Yang Bingqing beamed upon seeing Jia, but she controlled her excitement. Mingshen sneered. "You seem like you would marry my Spicy at any moment."

She glared at him. "Shut up."Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"Jiang Shan was presumed dead and Jiang Zemin ruled the Underworld until Zhao Weiyuan killed him one day."

Zhao Weiyuan made no change in his expression.

"When he died and it was clear that Zhao Weizhe would take place as the new Underworld leader, we thought that we could come out of our hiding and help build the new Underworld with Zhao Weizhe, which we did but still within the shadows. Then one day years later, we thought that it would be nice if the enmity between the Underworld and law could end. We could work with the cops so that the Underworld and the police won't be at odds against each other every time," she glanced at Jia, "That's where your parents came in. Song Wuyin and Song Lan."

She trembled.

Mrs. Zhang's gaze turned dim. "But we had no idea that Jiang Shan was alive all this time and planning his comeback. We didn't have a clue that he was threatening Zhao Xiuying to do as he said. But he didn't like the merging of Underworld and the cops at all. To him, that was a disgrace. The Underworld should always be a separate entity that would rule over everything including the police and law. Then one day...he found out about us who were in hiding. Maybe, he was in search of us for this whole time and one day, he finally saw us."

Cheng Ling at that point shook and had tears in his eyes. "It's my fault. It's all my fault...I took Lihua outside that day."

She widened her eyes. "M-me?"

"Yes. You were just a baby at that time. But because we always lived in the shadows, you or Xinyue never went out much in the open. But one day, I just really wished to take you outside for a stroll. Not within the house walls but outside. Where other people were too. Xinyue had refused."

He shrugged. "Wasn't interested."

Ruiling made a face.

Cheng Ling wiped his eyes. "So, I carried you in a stroller and took you outside. I promised it would be only for a short time, and we will head back. But that slip was enough for Jiang Shan's men who were keeping an eye on us to locate us. Because of my mistake..."

Cheng Mei narrowed her eyes. "I told you many times to stop blaming yourself for that."

He cried. "It's my fault. If I wasn't so stubborn, they wouldn't have found us, and we...we wouldn't have had to give up on Lihua."

Jia asked, "How did that happen? About Lihua..."

Mrs. Zhang answered that question. "Jiang Shan's men could track our location because of that incident. Naturally, he sent them to kill us. It was all chaos that night when they put the house on fire. But even so, we still managed to call Song Wuyin and Song Lan to our aid. Cheng Mei handed Lihua to them and asked them to take care of her until this whole situation would calm down. The Cheng family needed to die so that Jiang Shan would believe it and Lihua needed safety. So, your parents adopted Lihua."
