Chapter 652: Chapter 653 Shui Qingyue’s Maintenance

Shui Qingyue hurriedly grabbed Liu Minghui’s arm, urgently saying, "Brother Minghui, don’t misunderstand, Big Brother Song is really a good person, he’s not as bad as the rumors say."

Liu Minghui’s face grew even uglier, his teeth gritted as he said, "Fine, in just these few days’ time, you’ve come to know he’s a good man. You’ve known me for so long, we even have that kind of relationship, and you won’t even let me kiss you, but now you’re saying he’s a good man. It seems that guy has really made you happy, huh."

"You... What are you talking about? How could I be that kind of person?" Shui Qingyue’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Liu Minghui angrily said, "Hmph, not that kind of person? He’s a beast who would even take his own sister, and you’ve been with him so many days. You say there’s nothing between you two, do you think I’ll believe that? Do you take me for a fool?"

"You... I can’t believe that in your heart... I am actually..." Shui Qingyue’s tears instantly started to fall, overwhelming grief making her lose control. She had been longing for Liu Minghui here, and to think that upon meeting, he would have such an attitude. He wasn’t concerned about her safety; he was only concerned whether her purity was still intact.

Liu Minghui pushed Shui Qingyue away, and said to the four experts, "What are you standing around for? Go find that guy for me!"

"Yes!" The four of them responded, and immediately set out searching for Song Xiaodong.

Shui Qingyue watched Liu Minghui, biting her lip hard, while Liu Minghui, not even glancing at her, clenched his fists and scanned around, his expression fierce and intimidating.

Taking a deep breath, Shui Qingyue, choking up, said, "Brother Minghui, if I... if I have been dishonored by him, will you not want me anymore?"

Liu Minghui abruptly turned his head, staring at Shui Qingyue, his eyes nearly shooting fire, his teeth gritted as he said, "You’re admitting it, aren’t you?"

Shui Qingyue unconsciously stepped back, saying, "I... What am I admitting? I said if..."

Liu Minghui said angrily, "Hmph, no need to pretend any longer, deliberately saying this to me now, so I can be prepared, right? Do you think I, Liu Minghui, am really so easily fooled?"

Shui Qingyue felt a powerful sense of grievance weling up inside her, which also turned into anger, and looking up, she said, "Fine then, let me ask you, if that’s the case, do you not want me anymore?"

"You..." Liu Minghui, teeth clenched, said, "No! How could I not want you, we were engaged since we were kids, even if you were a ***** I would still have to take you."

Shui Qingyue shook her head fiercely, biting her lip, her gaze intently on Liu Minghui, saying, "So it turns out you’ve been with me all this time because of our families, not because you really liked me as a person."

"You’re mistaken; your purity has always been what I liked about you, but now you’re no longer pure, you’ve let another man have you, and just thinking about you being stripped and done by someone else, right now I just hate... hate that I can’t..."

"Hate what?" Shui Qingyue puffed out her chest and took a step closer to Liu Minghui’s face.

This stubbornness from Shui Qingyue fueled the fire within Liu Minghui, with humiliation and anger erupting all at once. He swung his hand towards Shui Qingyue’s face.

Shui Qingyue watched as Liu Minghui’s hand was lifted, as it came swinging toward her face, but rather than evading, she didn’t even blink.

As Liu Minghui swung his hand, initially feeling some regret and hesitating, but Shui Qingyue’s gaze made all his remorse vanish, and his palm struck down mercilessly.

"Smack"

A light sound, but not of his palm hitting Shui Qingyue’s face, but of another palm blocking in front of her face—it was Song Xiaodong’s hand.

Song Xiaodong, who had been hiding and watching the two, had to intervene upon witnessing Liu Minghui’s misunderstanding of Shui Qingyue. This misunderstanding was his doing, and naturally, he should explain. Looking at Liu Minghui, he slowly said, "Sigh, kid, I haven’t touched her. She’s a good girl, you should cherish her."

Seeing Song Xiaodong, Liu Minghui became even more enraged and shouted, "It’s you! My goodness, you two really are an adulterous pair. To show up for her, regardless of the danger, very good, this is just great."

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "You’ve been with Shui Qingyue for so long, don’t you know what kind of girl she is?"

Liu Minghui, teeth gritted, said, "Yes, I don’t know; I haven’t slept with her, I haven’t made her happy, how would I know what kind of person she is. If I had known earlier that she has a penchant for masochism, to be taken forcefully and then fancy you, I would’ve slept with her already."

Shui Qingyue tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and said, "Big Brother Song, there’s no need to explain. The innocent know themselves to be guiltless."

Liu Minghui swung his fists furiously and shouted, "Guilty of nothing; you still play the pure one before me, you make me sick just by looking at you."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he said, "As a man who loves a woman, you’re supposed to trust her. If you can’t even do that, how can you love her?"

"Whether I love her or not is my business. Kid, you’ve slept with my woman, made a cuckold of me; do you think you still have the ability to protect her? I’m telling you, you’re a dead man today!"

With that, Liu Minghui waved his hand and commanded, "Kill him!"

At that moment, the four experts had already returned. At Liu Minghui’s command, they immediately lunged at Song Xiaodong.

"Stop!" Shui Qingyue suddenly stepped in front of Song Xiaodong, arms spread, saying, "You can’t kill him."

"You see? You *****. Do you believe I’ll kill you right now along with him?"

"Then do it, kill me," Shui Qingyue declared fearlessly.

"You..." Liu Minghui was beside himself with rage, but he was acutely aware that he couldn’t kill Shui Qingyue, and the four experts, though members of the Liu Family, also recognized Shui Qingyue’s status and naturally dared not act.

"Big Brother Song, get out of here!" Shui Qingyue turned and shouted.

"But you..." Song Xiaodong frowned.

"I’ll be fine, he won’t dare to do anything to me. Thank you for letting me see someone’s true colors, and for looking after me these past few days. Please go now."

Song Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, realizing his presence would only prevent Liu Minghui from calming down. He nodded, then turned to Liu Minghui and said, "Qingyue is a good girl; you’d better cherish her."

With that, he moved swiftly, quickly reaching the cave mouth. Following the rope left by Liu Minghui and the others, he climbed up in a few moves and vanished from sight.

Shui Qingyue watched Song Xiaodong leave, her body slumping to the ground, a profound sense of sorrow and desolation overwhelming her all at once.
