Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Want Her Dead_1

Yenjing, inside the gardens of the old Cen House.

With the New Year approaching, the old house was decked out with big red lanterns, a festive air filling every room.

Yet, at this moment, the Cen family was unlike before, the vast estate eerily silent, deathly still.

Many people stood in the great hall of the old Cen House, arrayed in two rows, some sitting, some standing. At the top of the hall sat an elderly woman with white hair, her face as gloomy as the sky blurred by haze.

In the center of the hall, there was a wheelchair. Seated in the wheelchair was Cen Jinghua.

The current Cen Jinghua no longer possessed his former vitality; he stared blankly ahead, without anger, joy, resentment, or laughter.

If it weren’t for the rise and fall of Cen Jinghua’s chest, indicating he was still breathing, others might mistake him for a wax figure.

"Hua’er! Wuu wuu wuu... My Hua’er, my poor, fated child!"

A middle-aged woman dressed in flamboyant clothes rushed in from outside and collapsed next to Cen Jinghua’s wheelchair, crying out loud.

No matter how the middle-aged woman wailed and cried, Cen Jinghua gave no reaction.

Turning abruptly, the middle-aged woman cried out to the white-haired elderly woman in the high seat, "Mother, Mother! You must save Hua’er! And that wretched Wu Qiyi, I want her torn to pieces!"

"Enough!!" an old man leaning on a cane bellowed, "This is all of his own doing! If he had just stayed in Yenjing to reflect behind closed doors, Luanfeng Pavilion wouldn’t have troubled us further. And yet, he couldn’t give up his crooked desires and even colluded with the Pú family! The situation has already turned out better than it could have, and you still ask for more!"

"I want that damn woman dead, I want her dead!"

The white-haired elderly woman in the high seat did not speak but slowly stood up and walked towards Cen Jinghua.

She reached out to stroke Cen Jinghua’s head, her lips curling into a faint smile, "You, ever since you were a child, have been clever, the most adept among your brothers and sisters at winning the favor of your elders. But because you were too clever, you grew arrogant and dismissive."

"Mom, you’ve always loved Hua’er the most! Mom, you must save Hua’er!"

The white-haired elderly woman ignored the middle-aged woman, her smile undiminished, "In this matter, you are indeed at fault, grossly so. But rest assured, that Wu Qiyi won’t live much longer either; Grandma will make sure that no one who hurts you continues to live in this world..."

Finally, vacation began, and the first semester of college ended with a bang.

In the dormitory, the four of you sat on small stools in a circle, cheerfully enjoying hotpot.

"Hey, Old Shu, this meal is like our farewell dinner, why aren’t you eating?"

Liao Yong chewed on the freshly boiled lamb he shoveled into his mouth.

"Farewell your sister, this is our end-of-term homeward meal. Farewell dinner? Are you not coming back next year?"

"Right, end-of-term homeward meal." Liao Yong playfully smacked his own head.

Yang Kai rolled his eyes, "Black Bull, why do I feel you’re getting dumber? Ever since you got together with Liu Qing, it’s like you’ve become a real bull."

Wei Shuxian spoke irritably, "Don’t insult our Black Bull; at least he retains the spirit of a man. What about you? In front of Nie Ying, you behave like a lapdog. If she tells you to go east, would you dare to go west?"

Yang Kai pursed his lips, "You’re not much better; Wang Xiaohan is so stubborn. Once you’re married, you’ll have a tough time."

You grinned at the three of them, "Hey, do your families know about them yet?"

All three simultaneously hung their heads.

"Well, it’s not easy to explain right now, considering my mom’s temper... let’s wait a bit longer," said Yang Kai as he scratched his head.

Liao Yong also looked troubled, "Talking to my mom is easier, but my dad, if he knew about Qingqing’s past, he might very well break my legs."

Wei Shuxian, holding his forehead, turned to you and said, "Old Shu, you really are an absolute scoundrel, delighting in seeing us in trouble! This is sheer vengeance!"

Facing three foes united in enmity, you laughed heartily.

Just as they were about to strangle you alive, your phone on the table rang.

"Argh, don’t answer it. Whoever calls at this time must be that crazy woman Xian Qianling. Can’t you just chill for a bit and have a meal with the bros?"

"Let me see who it is, it might be my mom." Speaking of which, your mother called yesterday and said she was coming back to Yuhang today.

As for how she was coming back to Yuhang, she didn’t say.

But that’s typical of her, always secretive about her actions; God knows what she’s up to out there.

Picking up the phone, lo and behold, it’s someone unexpected!

Du Qingming!

You answered the phone, "Lao Du, what’s up?"

"Didn’t you say earlier that you wanted to meet the Scenic Sect Master? I’ve arranged a meeting for you."

"Really!? Where is she?"

"She just happens to be in Yuhang dealing with some private matters, but she doesn’t have much time for you. Starting now, you only have half an hour!"

"Alright, I’m on my way!"

You hung up immediately, grabbed your coat, and dashed out the door, leaving behind the words, "I’ve got business to take care of, that’s it for this meal, see you guys next year!"

Wei Shuxian, Yang Kai, and Liao Yong exchanged glances, each pulling a face before continuing to eat their hotpot on their own.

Ten minutes later, you arrived at a private courtyard. Du Qingming had been waiting for you in the living room for quite some time.

Seeing you rush in panting, Du Qingming said with a smile, "Quick speed there, didn’t skip any red lights, did you?"

You rolled your eyes; on the way here, you had run through at least seventeen red lights!

But this also showed how much you cared about the matter, as it was related to Wu Qiyi’s life and fortune.

"Lao Du, where is the senior you mentioned?"

"Right here."

As you were speaking, an old woman with white hair, leaning on a cane, slowly walked out with the support of a maid.

The white-haired old woman sat down on a mahogany sofa and look you up and down with a smile, "You must be Li Muyun?"

"That’s me."

"Hmm, quite unconventional indeed, no wonder my good-for-nothing grandson got taken down by you."

"Good-for-nothing grandson?" You looked at the white-haired old woman with some surprise and asked respectfully, "May I ask who your grandson is?"

The white-haired old woman smiled slightly, "My surname is Cen."

"Cen?" Hearing this surname made you involuntarily take a half step back, "The Cen Family of Yenjing?"

The white-haired old woman nodded, "Exactly."

Taking three steps back, your eyes narrowed immediately.

The white-haired old woman was slightly taken aback by your reaction and burst into laughter, "Oh? Are you thinking of fighting me?"
