Chapter 774: Chapter 768: Can We Talk in Private?

"You... So you came to Jinxiu City, actually for her?" Du Wanqing pointed at Miss Du and said.

Master Jie’s face turned pale, and he looked at Miss Du with a hint of unease.

"Xintong, I’ve realized my mistake, would you still give me a chance for forgiveness?"

Miss Du stood upright and didn’t look at him, only saying to Du Wanqing, "Do I still need to teach you what to do?"

As she spoke, Cuiya handed a lit incense stick to Du Wanqing’s hands.

Du Wanqing shook her head and retreated, her gaze, however, remained fixed on Master Jie.

And Master Jie continued to look at Miss Du, the three of them standing in strange postures on the snowy ground.

"Xintong, I know you hate me, and you won’t forgive me. But that’s okay, I can wait. You waited for me for five years; I can wait for you for another five. It’s fine to answer me after your anger has faded!"

Miss Du finally couldn’t avoid moving her gaze onto Master Jie. She sighed and said, "Perhaps we should step aside to talk, and clear things up properly."

Master Jie, both thrilled and anxious, followed behind Miss Du, walking towards a distant place.

In the snowfield, her footprints were left behind. He stepped into each one, overlapping his footprints with hers.

Du Wanqing stood there stunned; if not for the maidservant supporting her, she would have barely kept her balance.

Why should she step aside to talk? About what were they going to clear up?

Cuiya held the lit incense in her hand and rolled her eyes at Du Wanqing, saying, "What are you still dazed for? What else don’t you understand? The man you’ve been pining for has long regretted it, regretted supporting you, the venomous woman, for so many years and causing my young lady to suffer so much.

Now he wants to make amends, but even that has to be okay with my young lady, right? Second Miss, you’d better offer incense to the Old Master quickly. If you won’t even offer incense to the Old Master, you might as well not consider yourself part of the Du Family anymore."

"I don’t, I don’t believe it." Du Wanqing screamed like a lunatic, scratching her own face.

Cuiya felt immensely relieved and pulled out a cloth bag from her bosom, waving it at Du Wanqing, "Second Miss, I’ve always had something I wanted to show you, I wonder if you’d like to see it?"

"What is it?" At that moment, Du Wanqing was as if possessed.

"Just this!" Cuiya giggled, "With this, you’ll understand why Master Jie doesn’t want you, haha..."

Du Wanqing, seeing Cuiya raise her hand, suddenly lunged at her and snatched the cloth bag from her hands.

She frantically tried to open the bag, but the more anxious she was, the more trouble she had opening it, even dropping it to the ground in her haste.

Cuiya chuckled and picked up the cloth bag that fell into the snow, "Oh, I forgot, your arm’s disabled, it’s difficult to open with one arm. Let me help you!"

Miss Du and Master Jie had already moved away from the crowd, observing the surrounding blanket of white snow, she took a deep breath.

How good it would have been if her life remained as colorless and clear as the world around her, but alas, a life full of scars can never return to its origins.

Turning to face Master Jie, she met his gaze and sighed deeply, "You came to find me, and I understand your intentions. I treat you as a mere visitor, with neither hatred nor grievance, and I thought you understood. As things stand now, you don’t owe me, and I don’t owe you. To me, you are just like any other passerby in Jinxiu City. Since you don’t understand, then let’s make things clear today."
