CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 226: BORN OF FATE, PERISH WITH ITS LOSS1

These questions had been buried in Tu Haohao’s heart ever since she saw those surveillance videos.

Li Chengze’s expression suddenly turned to shock, did she actually know?

"Do you think I’m particularly foolish? Do you think I know nothing? Do you think... why do I still want to marry you despite all this?"

Tu Haohao’s nails dug deeply into her palm, as if trying to gouge out a piece of flesh.

"I never asked you for anything! Tu Haohao, from beginning to end, it was you who followed me around like a shadow, it was you who said you liked me, it was you who proposed to me, you who said you wanted to help me... I never asked you!" Though Li Chengze said this, when faced with those eyes, his heart was suddenly gripped tightly.

The pain was so intense that it disrupted his speech rhythm!

"It’s your own fault!" To cover up this abnormal feeling to himself, Li Chengze quickly added.

Tu Haohao suddenly stopped all speech, as if looking at him in disbelief.

He said it was her own fault.

She thought, perhaps this was his true feeling.

However, her infatuation was ultimately misguided.

"Li Chengze, think carefully, if you walk out from here and go to find He Nuoxin... the Li Family will end, and so will you! The only one who can help you is me, only the Tu Family behind me, are you sure you want to risk angering me and go ahead regardless?"

Tu Haohao thought she would cry, but when the moment truly arrived, she didn’t shed a single tear.

"Are you threatening me?" Li Chengze’s head buzzed.

Tu Haohao’s deliberately careless disguise was full of flaws, but Li Chengze couldn’t see any of them.

"That depends... on how you choose to understand it?"

Tu Haohao suddenly leaned in, her dark cherry red lips opening and closing, bringing out so much bitterness that only she knew.

For a moment, many images flashed through Li Chengze’s mind, Li Yingying’s selfish hopes and pressures placed on him since he was a child, repeatedly!

He had never lived for himself!

"You just said it’s my own fault, then tell me, during this time, did you really... never have any feelings for me?"

Tu Haohao reached out to gently caress Li Chengze’s face, so obviously trembling, yet immersed in his own world, Li Chengze did not notice.

With a loud crash, Li Chengze was caught off guard by Tu Haohao’s question!

——Did you really... never have any feelings for me?

She asked.

——You ask what I like about you, honestly I don’t know either.

——You’re proud yet insecure, you have a bad temper and don’t understand respect...

——Tu Haohao!

——You’re like a spoiled child who doesn’t listen to what others say!

——You’re really quite unlikable.

——I know I’m obnoxious, I know I’m trash, is that enough?

"Even just a little? Li Chengze, answer me!" Tu Haohao pressed forward step by step, while Li Chengze retreated.

Knock, knock, knock... the makeup artist cautiously knocked on the door outside.

"The wedding is about to start," the person outside said.

——Chengze, you’re not trash, you’ve just been burdened with too much, expectations you can’t bear.

——But...

——I really like you.

"No! No! Not at all!" Li Chengze pushed Tu Haohao away abruptly, almost shouting!

He didn’t like her, never had feelings, not even a little!

The one he liked was Nuoxin, he’d liked her since they were kids, no one could compare!

Tu Haohao, caught off guard, was pushed away by Li Chengze with such force, a man’s strength being several times that of a woman’s, and in his emotional state, even more!

Her abdomen hit the dressing table heavily, without any defense!

Severe pain pierced through Tu Haohao’s brain nerves instantly, her face turning pale.

"I never liked you, Tu Haohao!"

Li Chengze looked at Tu Haohao, who had fallen to the ground, coldly and cruelly spoke.

Tu Haohao placed her hand on her abdomen, the pain making it impossible for her to speak a complete sentence, she sensed a warm flow seem to trickle down her thigh.

Even though she had known she couldn’t keep this child, it shouldn’t be now!

It shouldn’t disappear from this world in this way!

At least, not be killed by its father’s own hands!

"Tu Haohao, the wedding is off!"

Li Chengze didn’t even glance at Tu Haohao’s hand reaching towards him, finished his last cruel sentence, and turned away without looking back!

Tu Haohao’s lips trembled, her fingers trembling too, her whole body like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, just like that, watching his back...

Lin Zhenxin buried her face in Li Yanan’s embrace, her mind filled with everything that had just happened in the corridor.

Although she had vaguely suspected and known it was her who came back, yet... when actually facing all this, she still couldn’t accept it.

Lin Zhenxin was not far from Susan He’s table, and at this moment, Susan He had also tidied herself up and returned to her seat.

If it hadn’t been for the incident in the corridor that Lin Zhenxin experienced personally, she probably wouldn’t have believed that woman could recover so quickly.

As if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Meanwhile, He Bainian had just taken his seat.

At this point, he was expressionless, but no one knew the storm in his heart.

What had he just heard?

Zhenxin... was Aunt’s daughter? Her biological daughter?

For He Bainian, this was as absurd as it got.

Zhenxin... how could she be Aunt’s daughter?

The scheduled wedding time had arrived, but still showed no signs of starting, the guests were whispering among themselves.

Lin Zhenxin raised her head, sensing something wrong, especially when the makeup artist ran to the main position, panic-stricken.

"Something’s wrong." Intuition told Lin Zhenxin that something happened to Tu Haohao.

Images from earlier in the lounge resurfaced in her mind, and as if realizing something, she suddenly stood up.

Ran towards the direction of the bride’s lounge...

Many people had already gathered in the bride’s lounge, each with anxiety written across their face.

The wedding was about to take place, yet both the bride and groom were nowhere to be found, an unheard-of situation.

"Where’s Tu Haohao? Where’s the bride?" Lin Zhenxin pushed through the crowd, a faint metallic scent, like blood, lingered in the room.

Her heart skipped a beat, just as Tu Wanzi and Tu Shaohong hurried in.

When Tu Wanzi saw Lin Zhenxin actually in the bride’s lounge, it was like a string snapped in her head.

"Lin Zhenxin, where’s Haohao? Where did you take her? Where’s my daughter?"

But before Tu Wanzi could pounce at Lin Zhenxin with claws, she was already blocked outside by Li Yanan.

"Lin Zhenxin, if you want to hate me, you can come at me, just give me back Haohao!"

Tu Wanzi shouted madly, tears streaming down her face, but couldn’t break through Li Yanan’s guard, soon collapsing to the ground.

"What are you standing around for?! Search! Find her! Dig three feet of earth if you have to!"

Tu Shaohong slammed his cane repeatedly, stirring the people from their daze to quickly contact the monitoring room and start searching.

"Everyone shut up!" Lin Zhenxin suddenly shouted in anger!

There was a moment of silence in the lounge, and she suddenly squatted down, looking at a corner of the dark red carpet.

With a trembling hand, she reached out and pressed it, faint hints of red on her fingertip as she lifted it up.

Lin Zhenxin’s mind felt like it exploded, she knew something really happened to Tu Haohao!

The carpet’s color was too deep, which was why no one noticed the bloodstain right away!

She quietly followed the blood traces outward, searching hard even though it was difficult.

"To the rooftop... go to the rooftop quickly! Yanan, send your people to the rooftop!"

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin seemed to think of something, her eyes panicked as she spoke to Li Yanan.

Li Yanan knitted his brows tightly, no hesitation, rapidly mobilizing people!

The wedding venue was already in chaos.

The guests didn’t even know what was going on, and no one was maintaining order.

Rumors whispered their way from somewhere, saying the groom had run away, causing a stirred uproar at once.

All present were dignitaries, especially since the venue also had a special area for the media, the journalists’ sensitivity to news made them restless, after all... it had been a long time since J City had such sensational news.

Everyone wanted to grab the front-page headline!

Susan He quietly sat in her place, a cruel smile slowly curling at the corner of her mouth.

And beside her, He Bainian seemed absent-minded, not interested in the happenings of the wedding.

"Someone’s going to jump..."

Suddenly, someone screamed, and everyone rushed out, especially the journalists who were already prepared...

Even though Lin Zhenxin prayed that it would not be as she feared, when she took the elevator to the rooftop and saw the door leading to the rooftop wide open...

Her head felt like it exploded.

The snow outside was still heavy, but the wind had stopped.

Lin Zhenxin walked slowly over, and there, on the ground, were drag marks of blood.

On the white ground, there was such a drag mark, stretching all the way to the terrace.

Like a trail of red plum blossoms in the snow.

Tu Haohao stood quietly on the rooftop, with her back to her.

"Haohao." Lin Zhenxin called her softly.

Tu Haohao seemed to hear her voice, slowly turning around to look at Lin Zhenxin’s face, the makeup on her face undisturbed, yet she looked so lifeless.

"Sis." She said, then lightly smiled.

"Haohao, come down first, all this blood..." Lin Zhenxin tried hard to control the tremor in her voice, trying to appear calmer.

"I’m fine..."

Tu Haohao was lying!

Blood surged out from inside her body, how could she be fine?

"Then I’ll come over, I’ll pull you down, Haohao, there’s nothing that can’t be solved!"

Lin Zhenxin said while walking towards Tu Haohao.

"I feel the child is gone, anyway, it couldn’t be kept, right?"

Tu Haohao, wearing her wedding dress, paced back and forth on the rooftop like a child, without any railings, a slight misstep...
