The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462: Chapter 459 Special Spin-off: Zhou Yanxu x Jiang Nanshu Part 2

Zhou Yanxu did not know the emotions of Zhou Yanbai.

His body was weak, so he had to exercise to strengthen his physique.

He had given some money to Jiang Nanshu’s current parents, asking them to take good care of her, and had someone monitor the situation there. Driven by the interest of money, Jiang Nanshu’s parents would treat her well, at least ensuring her survival during her early years.

Zhou Yanxu simply wanted to protect her from the shadows, waiting for her to grow up safely before he could leave.

However, he still underestimated the ugliness of human nature. When Jiang Nanshu was eight, he heard that her parents had chained her up and planned to sell her to a widower in his forties from the village.

Over the years, the news he received was that Jiang Nanshu was doing quite well; her parents no longer troubled her but rather fed her, allowing her to grow up safely.

Why would her parents do such a thing when there was money involved?

Now, he was just an ordinary person in this world, no longer possessing the abilities he once had.

The information he received was from people he had hired.

In four years, he had trained himself to not frequently fall ill and had safely surpassed the age the doctor had told him he would not live past—twenty years. He was now twenty-two.

So without packing his luggage, he hurried to Beijing.

Standing silently at the door, Zhou Yanbai stopped him, "Brother, where are you going?"

Zhou Yanxu touched his head, his voice gentle, "Yan Bai, Brother has some business to handle outside, you wait for me to come home."

Zhou Yanbai looked up admiringly, obediently nodding, "Mmm, I’ll wait for Brother to come back."

Only in front of Zhou Yanxu would he retract his spines, becoming exceedingly meek, showing none of the "terrifying demon" others saw in him.

Without much time for old times’ sake, Zhou Yanxu put on his coat and rushed out while making phone calls.

Only then did Zhou Yanbai drop the smile from his face, a deep jealousy lurking in his eyes.

He had never hated a stranger so much, wishing death upon them because that person had distracted his brother’s full attention, splitting it in half.

Zhou Yanbai coldly smiled, his expression carrying a malice unfit for his age.

His mother was right, anything that hindered one’s interest should be eliminated.

And he was the obstacle to his mother’s remarriage into a wealthy family, hence why he was abandoned, tormented, and mistreated until his brother found him and brought him home.

His brother was the best person to him, his brother, belonging only to him.

He lowered his head to unlock his phone and saw the girl, tormented for four years due to his instigation, with a joyful smile on her face; his brother wanted to save her? He intended to ruin her.

By the time he got there, he could probably only see the girl’s corpse.

Then his brother would come back and be good to only him.

...

Another cold winter.

Zhou Yanxu, despite wearing a down jacket, couldn’t ward off the piercing chill.

Due to heavy snow blocking the roads in this small mountain village, he could only walk in. His mood was somewhat heavy—could his arrival not prevent the early deaths that befell them in these parallel worlds?

As long as she safely reached the age of twenty-two, he could use the power of time reversal to send her back to her world.

Having managed to get inside, he hoped Jiang Nanshu was still alive.

In the heavy snow, he saw a figure running with all their might.

A frail figure was running toward the entrance of the village; people were chasing her, cursing continuously while the chains on her wrists jingled.

Zhou Yanxu stood still. The little four-year-old had grown up; her hair and thin cotton clothes were completely soaked, her lips pallid with cold, and her cheeks covered with hair were full of swollen scars.
