“Mother!” Jin Qingyue snapped, looking at her mother in disbelief of what she just heard. “You, Father, and Brother just don’t wish for me to be together with Shaochuan. What Sister-in-law said may be true to a certain extent, but it’s not entirely believable. I’ve decided to go against her words and prove her wrong. Shaochuan and I are going to end up in a blissful relationship!”

Mrs. Jin grasped her chest in anger and hollered, “I think your brains are fried! That bastard must’ve brainwashed you.”

“I know clearly what I’m doing. Stop trying to justify my happiness according to your selfish standards. The more you guys try to stop me, the more I want to be with him and prove you all wrong,” she retorted.

“You…” Upon seeing how stubborn her daughter was, Mrs. Jin turned around and returned to her room immediately. She quickly instructed Jin Qingyan to try and change her fate. They could not afford any further delay.

Changing her fate was their last and only resort.

Jin Qingyue headed upstairs to grab her bag and left in her car.

Sitting in the car, she stared at the dialpad on her phone. She was constantly torn between giving him a call and dismissing the idea entirely.

While she was stuck in that dilemma, her phone began to ring. It was a call from Shi Shaochuan.

She hesitated for a few moments before finally picking up, “Hello.”

“Qingyue, it’s me. Where are you?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m at home.”

“Has everything been settled?” Jin Qingyue asked.

“Yes. It’s all settled. Let’s meet at our usual haunt. I miss you,” said Shi Shaochuan.

“Alright,” Jin Qingyue agreed.

The pair met up at the five-star hotel they frequented. Jin Qingyue felt an overwhelming sadness the moment she finally saw him. It was the first time they had seen each other after a long period of time.

Despite missing her very much, Shi Shaochuan remained silent the moment he saw her, letting his actions speak louder than words.

He expressed his emotions through his actions.

“I really thought you wouldn’t be able to escape,” Jin Qingyue said as they laid on the bed, their eyes meeting.

“That’s what your family wishes for. Yueyue, I don’t blame you at all for changing your statement. I understand that you were terrified.”

“You’ve underestimated my brother. They didn’t go all out because I was involved in the matter too. Otherwise, your family definitely wouldn’t have managed to save you,” said Jin Qingyue.

“Yes, yes, that’s right. I’ve thought about that too. However, I’ve realized that it’s no easy feat for them to try and separate us. All I wanna do is to have some fun with you.” Shi Shaochuan gave her a kiss and continued, “Qingyue, will you obey your family and break up with me?”

“No. It’s just, Shaochuan, you shouldn’t have killed that woman.”

“I didn’t wish for her to die, either. I just got really nervous the moment I saw her. I’ve already broken up with her before we got together, yet she’s still clinging to me like a stubborn leech. She really got on my nerves. I was afraid she’d sow seeds of discord between us, and I didn’t want to see you getting upset over her either. Thus, I couldn’t control myself in the heat of the moment,” he explained. “Actually, I’ve been feeling rather guilty about it, but there’s nothing we can do now that she’s already dead. I’ve given her parents a large sum of money, I guess that’ll serve as some form of compensation,” Shi Shaochuan said softly.
