Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 173

In the evening, Zhao Qingxue and her family stayed in the guest room under the arrangement of the servant. Everyone was tired all day and rested early.

Zhao Lingxue closed her eyes with that man’s lonely back on her mind and only fell asleep in a daze late into the night.

The next day when she woke up, Liu was no longer in the room, Zhao Lingxue vaguely heard her parents talking to the man outside.

She was entrusted to the man. She had a lot of minor problems and so on, they asked him to take care of her.

She laid on the bed, but did not dare go out, she could only quietly listen.

Were her parents going to leave so soon? She would have to live under the same roof with that man?

Zhao Lingxue’s heart was in a panic.

She had never left her parents, and the two-day journey back was too far for her.

His father was in jail and his mother had killed people, what kind of family was it?

Zhao Lingxue came to survive, but when she was already there, she was starting to think about what kind of person this man was.

Her father said he was a reliable man. She did believe him but the word reliable was general. She wanted to know more. After a day of observation, she had one more word to attribute in her heart, ‘lonely’.

No, there should be composure, stoicism, and calmness.

The previous night, her mother asked her why she just thought of going to kneel with him, and her answer was that he looked too lonely, too sad, and since she was his fiancee, it was right for her to be there for him.

Her mother said she understood it and she did well.

She couldn’t tell. She kept worrying when she was on the road, what if he was an ugly-looking old man? But at the first sight of him, her heart ached inexplicably, and all her previous worries were dispelled. Many times her eyes would follow him wherever he went. She could always easily distinguish his voice in the crowd.

She did not understand why. She never had the feeling before, thought half the night, finally she figured it out, it …… was love at first sight!

Maybe he was too sad, and had not paid attention to her.

However, she did not care. Zhao Lingxue’s heart was full of expectation.

……

At that time, the door rang. Her mother entered the room, and Zhao Lingxue got out of bed.

“Mother, are you going to leave today?” Zhao Lingxue asked as she straightened her clothes.

“Yes, the Yang family just finished the funeral. There are still many matters to deal with. Son-in-law is very busy. Your father and I should not disturb him,” Liu addressed him as son-in-law, probably because she loved the house.

A subordinate outside heard the commotion and called for hot water.

Liu gave some silver taels to reward the servants and asked for a few words, to the effect that they would take more care of her in the future.

Zhao Lingxue freshened up. Liu took her hand and instructed her on how to run the house, how to take care of the man, and how to deal with the servants. Liu had taught her since childhood, and on the way there in the carriage, she constantly repeated, as if pouring out her brain to teach.

Zhao Lingxue had calluses in her ears hearing the same words, but her parents were leaving soon, so she kept listening carefully.

When all the subordinates in the house had left, Liu whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhao Lingxue blushed, it was very difficult.

But Liu told her that it was Mr. Lin who said that it was the only way to stay alive.

Zhao Lingxue hid her face. Why make her do such a shameful thing? This …… this this …… Zhao Lingxue was afraid to even think about it.

Liu was also embarrassed. But after telling her again and again, she quickly changed the subject to resolve the embarrassment.

..

The mother and daughter talked for a long time. Zhao Qingshu came to the guest room and explained a lot more before reluctantly leaving.

After seeing her parents leave, Zhao Lingxue stood in front of the empty Yuyuan Garden, heartbroken.

She was a little panicked and at a loss ……

“Let’s go in!” His voice came behind her, and Zhao Lingxue was instinctively a little nervous.

Yang Junhan took a look at the child next to him and saw that her face and neck turned red. Was she about to cry?

Was she sad that she left her parents?

Still a child!

Thinking of his mother, Yang Junghan understood the child’s state of mind without her mother, and suddenly pitied this little girl.

“Let’s go in! You will be under my care from now on,” he said, turned around and walked back.

After a moment of hesitation, the little girl followed.

He walked slowly looking at the empty and silent courtyard along the way.

At first, he thought after sending his mother away, in this house, he would be left alone, but did not expect that now there was an additional …… child.

The only way for her to stay alive was to stay by his side. He had never believed in God, but the fortune-teller was right about many things. So he was surprised, and said that as long as the child followed him, he would be able to complete his mother’s wish.

It was impossible to get who he wanted, but she already had a choice.

He was the one who was given up on.

When he thought of being given up by her, Yang Junhan’s heart was in pain. It turned out that it was easy to fall in love with someone, but so hard to forget them.

Looking at the side of the young girl with a childish face, how could she be his fiancee? In his heart …… that woman was the best candidate for a wife.

But …… she gave up on him after all.
