Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Sending the Rest of My Life from Afar (37)
This year’s winter came particularly early, with snowflakes swirling as they fell, dressing the entire city in silver.
Chuzheng stood in front of the window, watching the swirling snow outside.
Behind her was a banquet hall with clinking glasses, light songs, and graceful dances.
Chuzheng felt a bit tired, declined the toasts offered to her, and left with her coat.
“Miss Song.”
Chuzheng turned back to see a familiar person standing by the car, flamboyantly greeting her.
It was none other than Yu Kai.
This person actually dared to come to her; Chuzheng admired his bravery somewhat.
Seems like last time’s lesson wasn’t enough…
Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered with him and walked towards the other side.
“Miss Song,” Yu Kai caught up, “don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”
“Not leaving, to beat you up?” Chuzheng gathered her coat; her eyes, like the swirling snow outside, were cold and devoid of warmth.
Yu Kai’s mouth twitched, recalling some unpleasant memories.
“Miss Song, I have something to tell you,” Yu Kai said, “It’s about Yu Jin.”
“Oh.”
Chuzheng coldly continued to walk forward.
Yu Kai cursed under his breath and caught up, “Miss Song, aren’t you curious about Yu Jin’s past?”
“If you keep following me, your lawyer will have to get you out from the police station.”
“…” Yu Kai took a deep breath, “Yu Jin’s private life was quite chaotic when he was abroad, you might not know, Miss Song.”
Chuzheng took a slight pause.
The swirling snow brushed her hair, cheeks, and fell on her shoulders, slowly wetting them before disappearing.
A step away.
Outside was a snowy expanse, inside was clean and bright.
The girl standing at the boundary of light and shadow slowly turned her head back.
Yu Kai breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly met the girl’s gaze, and froze for a moment; that look… indescribably cold and frightening.
Yu Kai unconsciously stepped back.
What was he afraid of?
With so many people here, what could she do to him?
Thinking this, Yu Kai straightened his back again: “I have evidence here, Miss Song. If you want to see, we can find a place to talk.”
The girl on the other side slightly parted her lips, “Alright.”
A wave of excitement surged in Yu Kai’s heart, but he suppressed it, “Miss Song, please this way.”
Chuzheng turned back, followed him into the car.
No one else was in the car. Yu Kai had just gotten in and hadn’t had time to start the car when a fist swung toward him.
“Ah…”
People passing by outside watched the shaking car with very complex expressions.
Who could this be…
So inconsiderate, with so many people around!!
After finishing with Yu Kai, Chuzheng pushed him to the back of the car, took the driver’s seat, and drove the car away.
Chuzheng stopped the car in a secluded place.
She dragged Yu Kai out, stripped two pieces of clothing off him, and left him in the snow.
“Uuuu…”
Yu Kai shivered from the cold, his face bruised and swollen, whimpering at Chuzheng.
“There’s a village up ahead. If you don’t want to die, you better run fast,” Chuzheng said, looking down at him as she stood on the snow.
The loose snow almost blinded Yu Kai.
The figure standing in front of him didn’t seem human…
Various emotions like cold, fear, and shock surged up.
The car roared as it left, leaving Yu Kai without any communication device, shivering from the cold, having no choice but to head to the village Chuzheng mentioned.
By the time Yu Kai reached the village, his limbs were nearly numb from the cold, and he fainted directly.
–
Chuzheng drove Yu Kai’s car back. Halfway through, she pondered something was amiss.
Yu Kai usually avoided her, what had gotten into him today? Had he taken some kind of stimulant?!
Or was he just trying to fabricate some scandal about Yu Jin abroad to disgust her?
Not right.
Something’s definitely not right.
Chuzheng took out her phone and called Yu Jin.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is currently switched off…”
Chuzheng: “…”
She called Uncle Bai.
“Did he go back with me? I haven’t seen him today.” Chuzheng paused, “It was Song Yanran.”
Someone who looks exactly like her, who else but Song Yanran could it be?
In a flash, Chuzheng suddenly remembered seeing Song Yanran a few times before and always feeling that her temperament had changed.
Looking back now, she had been deliberately imitating her.
Unexpectedly, Song Yanran and Yu Kai had set up such a scheme.
Impressive!
Dog! Bunch of bloodsuckers!
Chuzheng asked the villa’s maid, Yu Jin had not returned.
Chuzheng calmly dialed Hua Can, “Hua Can, check Yu Jin’s location.”
Though Yu Jin’s phone was off, he had another locator on him, and Hua Can quickly provided an address.
It was a place in the suburbs.
Chuzheng, expressionless, drove to the suburbs.
–
Song Yanran paced up and down in the room, constantly dialing a number, but no one answered.
What’s wrong with Yu Kai?
Song Yanran continued calling, but still, no answer.
She irritably ruffled her hair and turned into the inner room.
The man lying on the bed caught Song Yanran’s gaze, her expression turning odd.
The Yu family’s master was surprisingly handsome…
Neither Ling Xu nor Yu Kai could compare.
Gripping her phone tightly, Song Yanran thought if she had known this back then, she wouldn’t have let Song Chuzheng go.
If it wasn’t her who went, now…
Now, perhaps it would be her with this man.
Song Yanran tried to call Yu Kai again, yet he still didn’t answer.
She continued pacing the room, biting her nails, looking both agitated and nervous.
This was the head of the Yu family, if she had something with him… Even if he didn’t acknowledge it, once Song Chuzheng knows, she’d still seem victorious by a part.
Moreover…
Song Yanran gazed at the man on the bed, her eyes slightly mesmerized; how could a man like this not set a woman’s heart aflame?
If Yu Kai could kill Song Chuzheng, she could completely take her place… but the man hadn’t suspected anything earlier.
The more Song Yanran thought, the more excited she became, but she still couldn’t reach Yu Kai.
Swallowing hard, she walked over to the man on the bed.
Standing by the bed for a moment, she reached for her clothes, trembling slightly from either tension or excitement.
Knock knock.
Just when Song Yanran had her clothes half off, a sudden knock on the door resounded.
Frowning, she cast an unwilling glance at the man on the bed, but the knock was urgent, so she quickly put her clothes back on and opened the door, “Who’s there?”
She didn’t open immediately but first asked.
Song Yanran peered outside; the corridor was empty with no shadow in sight.
Did she hear wrong?
Confused, Song Yanran turned around.
Knock knock.
The knocking resumed.
The sound was clear, right at her door.
Peeking through the peephole, Song Yanran still saw no one.
She felt a pang of panic, pulling out her phone to call Yu Kai, hearing the ringtone outside the door.
“Yu Kai? Is that you?”
No response came.
The ringtone echoed eerily in the empty hallway, sending chills down Song Yanran’s spine.
