CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 58 PEI YUENAN (TUESDAY BEGGING FOR CONTINUED READING)

In the private room.

On the table, over ten dishes.

Wang Hai was devouring them.

And beside him, Su Wanqiu was overflowing with maternal love, and said with concern, "Don’t rush, Xiaohai, there’s plenty, eat slowly. Here, have some water, don’t choke."

As she spoke,

she picked up the teacup, blew on it, tasted it lightly, and only fed him when confirmed it wasn’t too hot.

"Mm... Thank you, Sister Wanqiu."

Wang Hai thanked while chewing his food.

His gratitude brought tears to Su Wanqiu’s eyes again.

Dropping one by one onto her clothes.

And beside them, Su Yun several times couldn’t resist wanting to speak.

But Chen Xuan, knowing her personality, stopped her, shook his head towards her.

Gestured for her not to ask yet, let Xiaohai eat his fill first.

Although,

He also had many questions he wanted to ask.

After a long while.

Wang Hai finally stopped eating, and Su Wanqiu picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, asked with concern, "Are you full?"

"Yes! I’m full, can’t eat anymore."

Nodded forcefully, for the first time a smile appeared on his face.

His smile seemed to break Su Wanqiu’s heart.

She held him in her arms.

Such a small child, what has he gone through.

He used to be the most well-behaved child in the village, but now turned into this. If they hadn’t encountered him by chance, he might really have become a beggar.

In such chaotic times, he could be gone any day.

Thinking of this makes her heartache even more.

At this moment,

Chen Xuan came over, placed his hands on Wang Hai’s small shoulders, asked the question burning in his heart, "Xiaohai, where’s your father?"

"My father?"

His smile vanished as he burst into tears again the next moment.

"Wahhh..."

"My father... my father... he was beaten to death."

Suddenly,

Chen Xuan was stunned, Wang Daming was beaten to death?

Wasn’t he recruited by the County Government Office to forge weapons?

Moreover, he even gave that person silver that day to take care of him.

Chen Xuan touched Wang Hai’s little head, comforted, "Don’t cry, Xiaohai, don’t cry, alright? How did Uncle Wang die? Can you tell Brother Xuan?"

At this moment, after hearing his words, Wang Hai wiped his tears with small hands and said between sobs, "I don’t know either, I stayed at the place where my father lived, but at night, I was driven out, they said my father died."

"Told me to get lost!"

The child looked at him with tearful eyes.

The scene of that day reemerged, that person was fierce-looking, lifted him with one hand and threw him out like tossing a chick.

Made his head buzz when he fell.

"When did this happen?"

"A long time ago, should be... over ten days ago."

In these days, he survived on leftover food, and when he couldn’t get any, he drank water.

Moreover, he was bullied every day.

If he hadn’t met Chen Xuan, he really didn’t know if he could continue living.

"Alright, Brother Xuan knows, from now on you will follow me, Wanqiu and Sister Yun’Er will take care of you. And there will be food and clothes."

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true, when has Brother Xuan ever lied to you."

"Yep! I won’t have to suffer the days of not having enough to eat and being bullied, just... father..."

Just thinking that there will be food and clothes in the future and no more bullying, ready to smile; but when thinking of father, tears welled up again in his eyes.

At this moment,

Su Yun hurried over, took him aside, opened some small trinkets she bought in the street, let him play freely, to cheer him up.

"Look, these are some little toys I just bought, they’re quite fun."

Sure enough,

Not long after, Wang Hai stopped crying and started playing by the side.

At this moment,

Chen Xuan sat down again, his face darkened.

Wang Daming can be said to be the best person to him in this world aside from Su Wanqiu and Su Yun.

Although their interaction was not that long, he really was a good person.

But in this world, good people tend not to live long!

His mind unintentionally filled with Wang Daming’s honest smile.

Such a good person, just gone.

Chen Xuan knew his personality, simple, kind-hearted, would never initiate conflict with others.

Who killed him?

What was the reason?

Money? Impossible! Wang Daming had nothing, only strength; even if someone robbed, he wouldn’t be a target.

"Then what could it be about?"

Chen Xuan murmured.

Then his gaze turned to Liu Rushi, softly asked, "Can you help me investigate? He was recruited by the Government Office to forge weapons."

"Alright, three days at most!"

Liu Rushi agreed without any delay.

"Thank you, Miss Liu!"

Chen Xuan sincerely thanked her.

After all, this was his personal matter, troubling her.

If he didn’t know about this, he wouldn’t mind; but knowing it, if possible, he still wished to avenge Wang Daming.

Consider it gratitude for the care given in the village during these days.

Back then, to help himself forge a bow, Wang Daming even took out his treasured stones.

"You’re too polite, sir."

Chen Xuan didn’t speak further, feeling a bit saddened, went to the window, opened it, wanting some fresh air.

From the third floor down,

the sights were peaceful, traders’ calls, passersby’s bargaining, seemingly bustling, but if war breaks out, all this would vanish into thin air.

Again, not knowing how many would die.

"Ah!"

Chen Xuan sighed.

In this chaotic world, these ordinary people, death comes so easily, human lives are worthless.

Wang Daming is a vivid example.

To survive till the end, to live better, one must be stronger.

"It’s okay, we will definitely find the killer of Uncle Wang."

Su Wanqiu came to his side and comforted, thinking he was worried about this.

"Yes, definitely."

Chen Xuan did not reveal the truth.

After all, Su Wanqiu was just an ordinary woman, saying these would be useless, only adding troubles.

It’s just Wang Daming was someone he knew well, deceased so suddenly, making him deeply touched.

This world was too cruel.

Human life is the least valuable thing.

Become strong!

At this moment, only this thought filled Chen Xuan’s mind.

He didn’t want the same fate as Wang Daming to happen around him.

"Little Sister Liu is here? Without telling me, I could have prepared delicious food for you."

At this moment, a crisp voice came from outside the private room.

Then, with a creak, the door opened.

A figure in a silk long dress of emerald green, embroidered with lotus-like designs, wore a white tassel belt around the waist.

Perfectly highlighting the graceful figure.

The green dress made her skin look even fairer and translucent like jade, with delicate eyebrows as thin as silkworm silk.

Her eyes bright and sparkling like stars.

Her black hair was piled high.

She walked in with a smiling face.

It was indeed the owner of Ink Lotus Pavilion, Pei Yuenan!
