CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 249: QUARREL (PART 2)

"How dare you?" Chen Qi suddenly turned his head and warned coldly, "Huang Shu, do you think Haoyue Manor is still the same place where you can do as you please?"

"What do I have to fear?" Huang Shu’s face twisted into a snarl, "If you push me, I will tell Duan Nian the true story of Xiao Wu’s tragic death back then."

"What do you think he’ll do if he finds out you killed Xiao Wu?"

Huang Shu laughed several times, "The two of them were like brothers in arms, inseparable in their youth. All these years, he’s been secretly investigating the causes of Xiao Wu’s death, oh, and also the death of Mrs. Xu."

She stared at Chen Qi and said, "If that bastard finds out you killed his mother and framed his father’s side, what do you think he’ll do?"

"You—" Chen Qi narrowed his eyes, "How did you learn about this?"

Back then, he did things in secret, without Huang Shu knowing; how did she find out?

"I’m the eldest daughter of Haoyue Manor; did you think my father would hand all his power to you?"

Huang Shu snorted coldly, "Ever since you hid from me that you had a wife, I kept my eyes open, Chen Qi. If you want others not to know, unless you do nothing yourself."

"You—" Chen Qi was so angry that his eyes almost shot fire, but in the end, he could only turn and leave.

"Chen Qi!" Huang Shu shouted, "If you are heartless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous!"

Chen Qi paused, then turned around and said coldly, "I can leave the position of manor owner to Feng’er, but I can’t give you anything else."

Huang Shu caught up, shouting hysterically, "Since you care so much about that bastard, why did you kill Mrs. Xu, that wretch?"

"Mrs. Xu?" Chen Qi said dismissively, "She was just a promiscuous wretch. I care about Wuya because he’s talented in martial arts, useful to me. Do you think I’d keep him if he was as useless as Feng’er?"

"Hahaha—" Huang Shu laughed derisively, "Chen Qi, you’re indeed still so selfish."

Back then, he concealed his marriage to climb the ranks of Haoyue Manor, and later killed both Mrs. Xu and Xiao Wu because he felt betrayed by Mrs. Xu’s involvement with Xiao Wu.

And now, because Mrs. Xu’s son is useful, he abandons Huang Shu’s son. He is truly selfish to the extreme!

Huang Shu closed her eyes briefly; how could she not see his true nature sooner?

How did she fall in love with someone so ruthless and unscrupulous in pursuit of his goals?

If only she hadn’t been so young and naive back then, deceived by flowery words, blinded by charm.

Truly pitiful, sad, and hateful!

"Manor owner, does madam know everything?"

Elder Yan looked at Chen Qi with some concern.

"Pay her no mind," Chen Qi said, "Feng’er is still here; she wouldn’t dare to speak carelessly."

He looked at Elder Yan and said, "I’ve heard that Duan Yunfei is investigating Wuya’s identity?"

"Yes," Elder Yan replied, "I advised the young master to get rid of that boy sooner, but he refused!"

"Hmm—" Chen Qi snorted coldly, "Wuya is too indecisive; what use is there for emotions? In this world, only by cutting off emotions can one become truly strong!"

Elder Yan said helplessly, "Originally, I thought the manor owner’s Thirteen Shadow Guards would surely capture that boy, but who knew he turned out to be Chu Wuqu’s disciple!"

"This boy is indeed troublesome!" Chen Qi sighed softly, "If Feng’er were half as capable as this boy, why would I pin my hopes on Wuya?"
