The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Chapter 373 Capturing the Net

"At the age of eight, if you hadn’t appeared, I would have killed that old man and then fled the mountains. I had already planned my escape and was prepared to wander everywhere, but you reached out your hand and took me back home," Jiang Nanshu paused here.

"After all the trouble, I never had a home in the end."

Zhou Yanxu remained silent for so long that Jiang Nanshu thought she had woken from her dream.

His eyes were gentle, and his tone was soft, "You already have one, people who care about you, love you, and whom you care about, the people you want to love. You’ll have a happy home in the future, I won’t let you die."

Jiang Nanshu scoffed.

Do you think you are a god?

To control her life and death.

The dream ended quickly.

Jiang Nanshu opened her eyes; it was already broad daylight outside.

She looked somewhat bewildered; how could she be dreaming?

She had taken sleeping pills.

Ever since she dreamed of Lu Qingyan last time, she increased her dosage to avoid such bizarre scenes.

Where he could grasp her pain, making her jumpy and even somewhat terrified.

Damn it, even in her dreams, he caught her. How terrifying is that?

And the Lu Qingyan in her dreams was clearly very different from his usual self, very abnormal.

Jiang Nanshu didn’t know if time flowed at the same rate in that world as it did in hers; if so, she had been dead for nearly two years.

Lu Qingyan had probably found someone new by now.

And long forgotten her, a person of the past.

And this time’s dream with Zhou Yanxu was strange, as if she was really speaking to the real him.

She shook her head and pushed the dream out of her mind.

...

Beijing’s winter was very cold.

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t be bothered to go to her company, spending her days warming herself at home or visiting the hospital to get medication to stabilize her condition.

Close to New Year’s, Jiang Nanshu received an invitation from Uncle Qi.

He wanted her to come home for the New Year.

Jiang Nanshu glanced at the invitation letter once then turned and threw it into the fireplace.

She had forgotten how many invitations Uncle Qi had sent her, and she had never accepted any.

For her, a betrayed affection held no significance.

Little did she expect that this invitation would be Uncle Qi’s "final letter."

On the first day of the New Year, he committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, dying in the courtyard house.

It was said that he died with a peaceful expression, dressed in neat clothes, having cleaned all the rooms, even taking care of the old cat, holding a letter of confession, and dying with regrets.

Jiang Nanshu sneezed, holding Xiao Xiao.

The cat had been sent to her by Uncle Qi, and she was the first to discover Uncle Qi’s death.

She just looked at him once, then called the ambulance.

Even though he had already stopped breathing by then.

Jiang Nanshu didn’t read the letter of confession in Uncle Qi’s hand.

She didn’t want to see those words that spoke of a life for a life again, using his death to stop her from seeking revenge on Zhou Yanbai.
