Chapter 113 - Laughable Fate
When South Bridge thought of his first meeting with Yu Cen Ran, he tried everything to keep the South Bridge by his side. However, he repeatedly let himself be hurt. At that time, Yu Cen Ran would always be uncertain.
"You think you hate me because I abandoned you, Yu Cen Ran?"
Yu Cen Ran had once thought that the South Bridge abandoned her and left. She had also suspected that the South Bridge's amnesia was just an illusion.
The thought of revenge had indeed occurred to him, and it was being carried out unconsciously as well. However, Yu Cen Ran was unable to maintain her calm in the face of the South Bridge's questioning. Her throat tightened as she raised her voice, "South Bridge, I hate you, but I love you too."
After a pause, Yu Cen Ran continued, "My love for you is far greater than my hatred, so I can't let you go, and I can't let you go either."
The corner of Nan Qiao's lips curled up as a cold sneer emerged from her lips, "Yu Cen Ran, you said that you would unconditionally trust me. But now, don't you feel that it's ironic?"
Yu Cen Ran lowered her gaze and lowered her eyes. Her silent appearance filled the South Bridge with disappointment.
South Bridge covered her heart and the subtle feelings that lingered in her heart made her feel very uncomfortable. That day, she was jealous for Huo Ting, so Yu Cen Ran said she would unconditionally trust South Bridge.
What he had said back then seemed like a joke now. Was he really trusting her unconditionally? At that time, Yu Cen Ran probably had some suspicions. Wasn't investigating the South Bridge in secret the best evidence for a lie?
His fingers gripped the sheet, and he bit his lower lip. Then, he let go, "You can leave first, I want to be alone and quiet."
Yu Cen Ran raised her eyebrows and did not stay any longer. In the end, she still walked out. Right now, South Bridge was sensitive and irritable. Staying here would only make her more irritable.
After Yu Cen Ran left, the room returned to its previous tranquil state. Nan Qiao lay motionless on the bed with her eyes closed, the slight quiver of her eyelashes revealing the uneasiness in his heart. After a while, she half sat up, got off the bed, and picked up her coat to walk outside.
At the Yu residence.
In the study.
The old housekeeper and Aunt Lan looked at each other. They stood outside the door with their plates of food, looking troubled. The other servants stood aside, not daring to breathe. They pricked their ears and heard the sound of objects being broken.
After Yu Cen Ran went home and had a fight with Yu Chenghui, the Yu family's old man was like someone who had eaten gunpowder.
However, the most important thing was that the housekeeper and Aunt Lan were more concerned about Yu ChengHui's health. His stomach was not well, and now that they had reached the point of taking the medicine, they were all scared out of their wits.
The doorbell rang twice. Aunt Lan walked over and saw a pretty face through the electronic screen. It was beautiful but pale. She was getting old and had a bad memory. "Who are you?"
The woman on the other side lightly lowered her chin. "I am South Bridge."
Aunt Lan thought of the familiar name and suddenly remembered that Yu Cen Ran's wife was Nanqiao. She was a little surprised, but she still opened the door to let him in.
Aunt Lan welcomed the South Bridge to the sofa. After the South Bridge sat down, Aunt Lan poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Young madam, you must be looking for Master. I will go inside to inform Master."
South Bridge nodded. Five minutes later, Aunt Lan returned with Yu ChengHui's consent. She brought South Bridge to the door of the study, and told it not to anger Old Master Yu before she left.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you." The South Bridge promised to be very obedient.
She put her hand on the door handle, took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and released them. After hesitating for a while, she pushed the door open.
The floor was littered with debris, and almost everything in the room had been smashed.
From the south bridge's perspective, Yu Chenghui's back was facing the light. His magnificent body was in contrast with the still life behind the French windows. His shoulders were trembling, and it could be seen that Yu Chenghui's anger had yet to dissipate.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Chenghui was cold and displeased, he didn't even look at the South Bridge.
"Old mister Yu doesn't seem to welcome a daughter-in-law like me." He tiptoed and kicked away the debris on the ground. The South Bridge walked in, his thin lips curving into a straight line.
Yu Chenghui turned around, his gaze fixed on South Bridge's body, he asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"
Nanqiao sneered. It had already come to this, but Yu ChengHui was still pretending to be confused. Did he really think that there would be a day that she would never remember?
The anger in his heart slowly gathered, and South Bridge slowly walked towards Yu ChengHui. Her white and tender fingers traced across the back of the chair, and her voice sounded ethereal, as if it came from a distant place, "Old mister, did you forget, but I still remember that I was in this room back then."
After pausing for a moment, South Bridge turned around and looked at Yu Cen Ran. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he said, "It was in this room that you had my memories erased. It was you who erased the memory between me and Yu Cen Ran!"
As he walked, he saw South Bridge's line of sight fall into a corner of the room. It was as if he saw himself that year, helpless, curled up in a corner, muttering non-stop about not wanting it, but having no strength to tie up a chicken.
She pressed her back against the ice-cold wall. The coldness seeped into her bones. Even now, she could still feel it. Step by step, she retreated. In front of her was a doctor wearing a white gown and a mask.
His thoughts went back to eight years ago.
She was curled up on the sofa with her hands around her knees, her face buried between her legs, her shoulders shaking slightly. She was only wearing a singlet and hot pants, her large exposed skin covered in a layer of sweat.
In the heat of July and August, every household had an air conditioner on, and only South Bridge's house was dark, so stuffy that even the flies didn't want to stay.
This was the situation at the time of the Nan Family. The South Heaven and Earth spent all day drinking, dreaming, eating, and gambling. Zhang Fenglan was too busy with her livelihood, and she did not have the time to take care of the South Bridge.
She did not dare to turn on any electrical appliances. She stared at the television in front of her in a daze, and she did not even have the courage to watch the news on the television in front of her.
She was afraid of seeing any news about the murder, and even more afraid of hearing Yu Cen Ran's news.
Days passed. After Yu Cen Ran was detained by the police for a week, one day, several burly men suddenly broke into South Bridge's house. They rudely kicked the door open and strode in.
She was carried like a chicken, then thrown into a grand room, the first time South Bridge had seen Yu Chenghui. The crystal chandelier above his head was dazzling, and he was looking down at South Bridge from high above with a cold look in his eyes.
"Leave him." These were the first words that Yu ChengHui and Nanqiao said. They were cold and indifferent, without a single shred of emotion.
Nanqiao was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, but he had no intention of yielding. "I won't leave him. I will wait for him to come out. I will wait until he comes out!"
Yu Cen Ran had entered the prison for her. South Bridge understood that, at that time, she thought to herself that if she could not get out of it in her lifetime, then she would have to wait for her entire life, until she died.
However, in the end, the South Bridge was still naive and childish.
Yu Chenghui raised his hand and swung it towards the South Bridge. That slap was very powerful, the slap only left a fiery sensation on his face. He was furious, and sent another slap over.
"Shameless woman!" You want to ruin my son! " Yu Chenghui clenched his fists, his eyes almost burning.
Nan Qiao straightened her neck, not wanting to dodge. Her face was already swollen, and traces of blood dripped from the corners of her mouth. However, her eyes remained firm. "Uncle, I won't leave Yu Cen Ran!"
The grudges of the Wealthy Class could not be interrupted by a poor girl like her. South Bridge understood this, but ever since the day he and Yu Cen Ran had found out about his identity, South Bridge had never thought of backing out.
Nan Qiao had thought that she would persevere until the end, but she had still underestimated the methods of the Wealthy Class.
The latter seemed to have already guessed the attitude of the South Bridge, fighting it out, cursing it out. Yu ChengHui no longer wasted any more time and clapped his hands, following which, a few burly men walked in, a man who looked like a doctor following behind him.
"What do you guys want to do?" As his gaze fell on the car that was pushing in, Nanqiao's breathing abruptly quickened. Her subconscious was telling her that something bad was about to happen!
Sure enough, the doctor glanced at Yu Chenghui's expression, then quickly turned around and placed a needle back in place. The big man who tied her up went up and grabbed onto the bridge again, holding on tightly to her limbs, unable to move.
South Bridge's pupils dilated and trembled. "You want to kill me?"
"Killing is not worth it. Relax, I've asked the experts to comb through your brain and wash away some unnecessary memories. It won't hurt." Yu Chenghui replied calmly.
Later on, Nanqiao found out that the man invited by Yu Chenghui was indeed an expert in hypnotism. If Yu Chenghui wanted to erase her memory, he would never be able to remember her!
Nanqiao's body tensed, and he continuously retreated. After several times, the doctor turned his head to Yu Chenghui and said, "If the patient doesn't cooperate, even if the medicine is used, my work will still be very difficult."
Hearing this, Yu Chenghui's eyes narrowed as he coldly stared at the South Bridge. He then moved his lips and coldly said, "You keep saying that you love Yueran, but you endured letting his future be ruined. You are just a hypocritical woman!"
It turned out that the gangster that harassed the South Bridge was found by Yu ChengHui, but he didn't expect that the third young master of the underworld would die in an accident.
Yu Chenghui's only goal was to get South Bridge to leave Yu Cen Ran!
