Chapter 38 - Homicide

Ding dong. Before Nan Qiao could finish her words, she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Who could it be this late at night? The butler was already asleep. Nanqiao got up and walked to the side of the hallway. There was an electronic display on the wall, and she saw an unfamiliar man's face. It looked somewhat similar to Yu Cen Ran's.

Doubtful, the South Bridge opened the door.

The moment they opened the door, Nanqiao and Yu Cen Ran raised their heads and looked over. The former was puzzled while the latter was expressionless. At the entrance stood a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor.

The grey suit jacket, the combed hair, and the pair of eyes that were almost the same as Yu Cen Ran's made people's hair stand out even more. South Bridge felt that the air outside was somewhat cold, while the middle-aged man's breath was even colder.

"Dad!" A sweet female voice rang out from behind him. A woman walked out from behind the middle-aged man. That bright and beautiful face that carried an affectation was actually Xue Yuwei.

Why is she here too?

She wanted to ask why Xue Yuwei was here, but Yu Cen Ran had yet to speak. She had no say in the matter, and Xue Yuwei had already called the middle-aged man 'Dad'.

Since Xue Yuwei claimed to be Yu Cen Ran's fiancee, could it be that this middle-aged man was …

"Dad." It was indeed Yu Cen Ran's father. Yu Cen Ran called out lightly.

"Yes." Yu Chenghui bent over and looked. He didn't find any shoes that he could change into and directly walked in.

However, Yu Cen Ran had no intentions of welcoming him. Her attitude wasn't very good as she said, "Dad, why are you here so late at night? Why don't you go back and rest early?"

The meaning behind his words was to send off the guest.

Yu Chenghui was so angry that his face turned ugly. He got off the plane and followed Xue Yuwei. Before he even had the chance to sit down, he was swept out of the house like trash by his own son.

How could she not see how smart the South Bridge was? Yu Cen Ran didn't seem to have a good relationship with his family. A strange feeling appeared in his heart as he watched Yu ChengHui, but for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Yu Chenghui's face turned ashen.

Xue Yuwei had a face full of complacency and schadenfreude.

Yu Cen Ran continued to look at the typing on the computer with an indifferent expression.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the South Bridge immediately laughed to smooth things over. He said to Yu Chenghui, "Old mister Yu, please come in. I'll go make you a cup of tea."

"You don't want to welcome me?" Xue Yuwei felt that the scene was not chaotic enough and interrupted her with a cold smile.

Nanqiao gritted his teeth and did not express any emotion. He maintained his smile and said, "Miss Xue, quickly come in as well. It's cold outside. Come in for a cup of hot tea."

No matter how she looked at the South Bridge, she just didn't like it. She grabbed Yu Chenghui's arm and complained, "Dad, look at this woman. She has the face of a mistress. She's trying to embarrass me, the future wife of the Yu family."

In the end, she even pretended to wipe her tears. The South Bridge was already speechless. Yu Cen Ran's eyes also became cold. Her eyebrows rose as she directly shot a knife at Xue Yuwei. When she saw this, she felt wronged and didn't dare to say anything.

Yu Chenghui raised his eyebrows and looked at the South Bridge. He asked, "It's already so late, why are you still in a man's house?"

Nan Qiao stuttered for a long time before finally speaking, "I am Yu Cen Ran's fiancee!"

Just as she finished speaking, Xue Yuwei screamed. Her hair was a bit messy, and her eyes were red. "Dad, look at how she speaks. She still wants me to establish my position in the Yu Family!"

Yu Chenghui immediately shouted to get Xue Yuwei to pay attention to her image. Xue Yuwei's emotions had just exploded, so she couldn't turn around for a moment. Her nose was covered with snot and her breathing was very uncomfortable.

Xue Yuwei stared at the south bridge.

Yu Chenghui turned his head again and looked at the South Bridge, "For a girl to speak in such a shameless manner, it's not like she's her own fiancee!"

At this moment, Yu Cen Ran finally put down the laptop. She glanced at Xue Yuwei and said, "South Bridge is my fiancée. We've already received the marriage certificate. When she wants it, I can immediately give her a wedding."

"How dare you!" Yu ChengHui was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He threw a slap across the face of Yu Cen Ran and a red and swollen five-fingered mark appeared on his face, which gave the South Bridge a fright.

Yu Chenghui's entire body released a cold aura as he looked at the South Bridge, his eyes looked as if he was looking at a cheap product. The South Bridge felt extremely uncomfortable, but it couldn't say anything in front of everyone, nor could it just turn around and leave.

She felt that Yu Chenghui was very unfriendly to her.

After a while, Yu ChengHui suddenly said to the South Bridge, "The two of you are not suitable, hurry up and leave!"

Nanqiao was stunned. Had she been kicked out by her father-in-law?

Yu Cen Ran stood up and hugged South Bridge. She looked at Yu ChengHui with an exceptionally cold gaze and said with a resolute tone, "South Bridge is a woman that I, Yu Cen Ran, have recognized. No one has the right to take her away from me."

After a pause, Yu Cen Ran lowered his head and said to the South Bridge, "You are not qualified either."

He did not allow her to walk on the South Bridge. He felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude and warmth in his heart.

However, Yu ChengHui was the first to object. He raised his hand and slapped him again. The South Bridge was in Yu Cen Ran's arms, and it looked like it was about to affect him.

Yu Chenghui was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He pointed at Yu Cen Ran and said, "Yu Cen Ran, don't forget, I'm your father. I'm the one who gave you everything. Don't be a fool and not know what's good for you!"

Yu Cen Ran didn't think much of it. She smiled, shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly, "You can take back the Yu Group. This CEO is too tired anyways, I just want to take a break."

"You!"

Yu ChengHui was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands and his lips were black. Xue Yuwei was so frightened that she quickly took out a Heart-Savior Pill from her bag.

Seeing that Nanqiao was helping him to sit on the sofa, Yu ChengHui stopped pressing forward. He still maintained a cold expression and shook off Nanqiao's hand. Meanwhile, Xue Yuwei was complacent on the side, purposely helping Yu Chenghui pat his back.

However, Nanqiao didn't think much of it. He merely turned around, went close to Yu Cen Ran's ear and whispered, "Your father's health is not good, why don't you give in to him!"

Yu Cen Ran didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't know that Yu Cheng Hui's body was already so weak.

At this moment, Xue Yuwei saw that Yu Hui was getting better. She began to cheer him up by saying, "Dad, don't get angry with Brother Cen Ran anymore. Actually, the bad thing is the South Bridge …"

After thinking for a moment, Xue Yuwei looked like she was about to cry again. "I'm not good enough either, so I can't grab onto Cen Ran's heart. I'll let other women steal my man …"

Nanqiao, "…"

The South Bridge was speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes. No matter what she said, Xue Yuwei would always be able to bring up the topic of the conversation with South Bridge.

Yu Cen Ran hugged Xue Yuwei tightly. She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. He wanted to see what tricks Xue Yuwei could come up with.

Xue Yuwei wiped away her tears and said, "Dad, sometimes it's really bad if women are too smart. I'm not the one who suffered in the end. If I wasn't aware of the existence of the South Bridge, how could Cen Ran be so angry that he would imprison me at the Xue Clan?"

Seeing that Yu Chenghui was about to flare up again, Xue Yuwei quickly stopped him and continued to persuade him, "Dad, don't be angry. I know that Brother Cen Ran didn't do it on purpose.

"Really, I don't blame Brother Cen Ran. Which man wasn't distracted when he was young?" "Dad, I believe that after some time, when Cen Ran's novelty passes, the South Bridge will only be a passing cloud."

South Bridge curled his lips, speechless as he looked up at the sky.

Yu Chenghui looked at Xue Yuwei and nodded her head in relief, "It's rare for you to be so sensible, then dad can be at ease."

Yu ChengHui patted the back of Xue Yuwei's hand but did not say anything. Xue Yuwei did not get the chance to further insult Nanqiao and was unwilling to accept it, but due to the fact that her image was here, it was not good for her to make use of this opportunity.

After this scene, South Bridge suddenly felt very tired. She turned her head and looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. It was already very late. She was very sleepy and just wanted to sleep.

At this time, Yu ChengHui pointed at the south bridge and spoke again. His voice was deep and dignified, "You, follow me to my study room."

"Huh?" The sudden request stunned South Bridge.

Yu Cen Ran bit her lips, obviously dissatisfied but South Bridge stopped him and followed him to the study on the second floor.

Yu Chenghui seemed to be in his forties, but he was vigorous and his every move carried a sense of majesty. For some reason, South Bridge even smelled the shrewd stinky copper of the mall's business people.

Entering the study room, Yu ChengHui didn't bother to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and asked, "Nanqiao, did you and Yu Cen Ran get to know each other before this?"

She did not know how to react to the South Bridge. What she was thinking was, how could Father Yu ask such a strange question?

But subconsciously, Nanqiao didn't speak his heart. He didn't mention the familiarity between him and Yu Cen Ran. He only shook his head and denied it. "I was studying in the UK and met Yu Cen Ran only after returning home."

"You are studying in the UK? Miss Nanqiao, as far as I know, your family situation isn't that good, right? "

Nanqiao replied, "I spent money on studying abroad. Because my grades were outstanding, my school directly provided me with a total reduction of my tuition fees. Every month, I would even give out allowance to my students abroad."

The South Bridge continued, "It's very strange. At that time, although my grades were good, the school rules stated that only the top two most outstanding students were qualified. I was in third place and thought that I wouldn't be able to get an evaluation, but who would have known that there would be another spot."

Yu ChengHui's eyes dimmed for a while, but he didn't notice the South Bridge.

After this constant questioning, Yu Chenghui's tense heart finally relaxed. It seemed like the South Bridge had not recovered his memories. Some of those things were still like ice and snow in her sealed memories …
