Hui Zi understood and didnât delay any longer; he picked up the child by the scruff of the neck and was about to toss him out.
After all, heâs just a little beggar. Begging is the same wherever you are, so throwing him out to fend for himself should be fine.
But Ma stood up, "Brother Hui, let me have him."
Hui Zi glanced at Gu Peng, and seeing that he didnât object, he directly handed the child over to Ma.
..................
Li Guangyuan didnât expect to see Lin Chuxia in Ancheng County.
Ever since he went to Yan City last time to find Lin Chuxia, heâs been looking for opportunities to get closer to her.
Lin Jiayi once said that as long as she confessed to Lin Chuxia that sheâs been reborn, Lin Chuxia would definitely believe their words.
Given Lin Chuxiaâs nature, knowing that Qin Yang is her brother-in-law, she would definitely divorce him.
Such a proud and principled person, how could she possibly be with her brother-in-law?
But just thinking about the man beside her, Li Guangyuan didnât dare to rashly find her like last time.
Now, Lin Chuxia was right in front of him, and she was alone.
Without thinking much, Li Guangyuan quickly walked up to Lin Chuxia.
"Chuxia, did you come to find me? Have you come to your senses, or did Qin Yang really bring that child home? I told you early on, Qin Yang is deceiving you. Weâre the perfect match made in heaven. Iâve long divorced Lin Jiayi, and as long as you nod, everything will be up to you in the future..."
Lin Chuxia looked at Li Guangyuan with disgust, "What nonsense are you spouting? Still not fully awake? If youâre going mad, roll far away."
Li Guangyuan didnât expect Lin Chuxia to still have such a terrible attitude, he was slightly stunned, "Didnât you come back to An City to find me? If you donât believe what I said before, you can ask Lin Jiayi. You trust Lin Jiayi, right? After all, sheâs your sister. She was reborn and because she knows what happened in the past life, she ruined our marriage. She wasnât happy in the past life and wasnât willing to help Qin Yang raise his illegitimate child, so in this life, she came to ruin us, Chuxia. In the end, Qin Yang is your brother-in-law. You couldnât possibly want to live with your brother-in-law for a lifetime, right?"
During this period, Lin Chuxia had already thought things through.
Even if everyone was reborn, so what?
The past life is the past life, and this life is this life.
Since theyâve all come back to life, why keep dwelling on the past?
Even if everything before her is a dream, she and Qin Yang are both deeply immersed in such a dream, which she can truly feel.
In other words, if the past life was a dream, this current dream has long since awakened.
She suddenly laughed, "Li Guangyuan, I donât care what happened in the past life you mentioned. Right now, you are Lin Jiayiâs husband, my brother-in-law. As you said, I will not have any entanglements with my brother-in-law..."
"Itâs not like that, I shouldnât have been your brother-in-law, itâs all Lin Jiayiâs doing. How can I make you understand..." Li Guangyuan hurriedly explained.
Lin Chuxia restrained her smile, "You donât need to explain. Even if everything you said is true, I will only thank Lin Jiayi. Thank her for achieving me and Qin Yang. No matter what the past life was like, in this life, I only acknowledge Qin Yang as my husband, and as for you..."
She paused, looking Li Guangyuan up and down, making his spine tingle before she spoke slowly.
"Whether youâre Lin Jiayiâs husband or her ex-husband, youâre just a stranger to me. We had a mediocre relationship before, and we will have no relationship in the future."
With that, she didnât want to pay attention to the man in front of her any longer and turned to leave.
How could Li Guangyuan let her go?
Her words were like knives stabbing into his heart.
The great life he could have had, wasnât it just as splendid in the past life? Could it only be a distant dream in this life?
In that case, why make him recall past events at all?
"Lin Chuxia, are you really going to remain so obstinate?"
He suddenly shouted.
"Do you know that Gu Peng is also reborn?"
Lin Chuxiaâs footsteps finally stopped, "How do you know?"
Lin Chuxia did suspect that Gu Peng had been reborn, and she even confronted him directly, but he wouldnât admit it.
So how could Li Guangyuan be so certain?
Li Guangyuanâs lips curled into a sinister smile. He pointed to his own lip, where the bruise left from when he was beaten by Gu Peng for stalking Lin Chuxia remained.
"Look here, this was done by Gu Peng. Just because I came to find you, he hit me. Doesnât that say something?"
"It says you deserved to be hit," Lin Chuxia said coldly.
"Youâre wrong, Lin Chuxia. Are you really unaware of Gu Pengâs feelings for you, or are you just pretending not to know? Or maybe heâs hidden it too well in this life, and you havenât realized? No, with your little sense of judgment, he doesnât need to hide it all that well either, and you wouldnât realize it. Do you know that in the past life, Gu Peng longed for you?"
He suddenly laughed.
"Lin Chuxia, Lin Chuxia, itâs laughable that youâre wise all your life but muddled right now. Why does Gu Peng help you deal with me? Why does he always find me intolerable? All men, heâs slept with more women than the clothes heâs worn. Why then does he refuse to let me go for sleeping with one more? You think he genuinely disapproves of my actions? Those men around him, arenât they the same kind of scum, all for you?
Changing women one after another, yet never bringing up marriage, heâs waiting for you, but instead, youâre being foolish. Rather than divorcing in anger with me, you passively waste your time, squandering Gu Pengâs deep affection for you."
"Youâre talking nonsense," Lin Chuxia instinctively countered.
She and Gu Peng were just friends.
Gu Peng treated her well because she helped him out in his most difficult time, and to Gu Peng, sheâs his benefactor.
Gu Peng had told her this more than once.
Even if he looked down on Li Guangyuan, it was because Li Guangyuanâs actions were immoral and hurtful to her.
Gu Peng beating Li Guangyuan was deserved.
And Gu Peng not wanting to get married was just his stance on marriage; heâs an anti-marriage kind of person.
How could it possibly be because of her?
Li Guangyuanâs grin became increasingly sinister, "Am I talking nonsense? Have you ever noticed the women he finds? Not to mention others, but the one who was pregnant with his child, doesnât she somewhat resemble you, maybe five or six out of ten?"
Lin Chuxia didnât want to get into this topic with him, "I donât even understand what youâre talking about. I donât know anything about Gu Pengâs women. Li Guangyuan, if you keep spouting nonsense, be careful Iâll report you to the police. Donât think that fabricating stories about the so-called past life will make me believe your lies. Even if there really was a past life, thatâs past; it has nothing to do with this life."
Lin Chuxia didnât stop her steps this time, even though Li Guangyuan was still shouting incessantly from behind.
"Lin Chuxia, youâll regret it. Sooner or later, youâll see Qin Yangâs true colors, and as for Gu Peng, heâs a wolf. Sooner or later, youâll get bitten by that wolf..."
