Chapter 1167: Chapter 1190: Act Too Real

Lu Bing used to be a soldier too, and after his retirement, he engaged in a small business, managing to lead a passable life. His relationship with his elder brother Lu Fan was quite good.

Both of their parents passed away due to illness when they were sixteen, coinciding with a military recruitment. After discussing it together, they thought that although the army life was tough, at least it offered consistent meals, right?

So, they both enlisted in the army.

The younger brother served for two years and was discharged normally, but the elder brother got promoted, became a squad leader, and continued to stay in the military.

That was when he met Xia Qing. In that male-dominated world, seeing a woman was like a starving wolf encountering meat.

Lu Fan fell in love with Xia Qing almost instantly.

Xia Qing, naturally, was indifferent.

"That’s how he started his relentless pursuit. Although Xia Qing clearly rejected him several times, he wasn’t discouraged; his persistence deterred others."

By then, Xia Qing was already ambiguously involved with Father Huo, but she knew that it was impossible for him to divorce Mother Huo.

Even if he divorced, the ties wouldn’t be severed. Huo Yi was destined to take over the Huo Family.

Back then, Xia Yi hadn’t been born yet. Even if she had the idea of having her own child to fight for the Huo Family’s fortune, she felt powerless.

Because having children isn’t something one can just decide on, and it’s not guaranteed to be a boy, and even if it were a boy, he might not necessarily be stronger than Huo Yi.

In any case, there were too many variables, and Xia Qing almost wanted to let go. Thus, she no longer refused Lu Yun, thinking they should give it a try.

Under a bizarre twist of fate, they had that one time together, and Xia Qing felt it was destiny. She was never meant to be with Father Huo.

"Before she could even tell my dad, the battle had begun. Soon after, Lu Fan was sacrificed. Everything happened so fast, catching everyone off guard, and Xia Qing discovered she was pregnant."

"You probably know most of what happened after that. Once Xia Qing settled down, she went to find Lu Fan’s brother, having promised Lu Fan that she would take care of him."

With Xia Qing’s help, Lu Bing opened a supermarket in the city center, and his life became increasingly prosperous.

"If things had continued that way, it would have been happy and fulfilling. But one day he found my dad coming out of her room and remembered how Xia Qing adamantly refused to let the child take the surname Lu."

That’s when he started to have suspicions, and a bit of investigation revealed the affair between Xia Qing and Father Huo.

"He thought Xia Qing had deceived him, that the child was my dad’s, recalling his brother’s departure in her rescue; he felt outrage for his brother and planned this murder."

It can only be said that Xia Qing acted too convincingly, letting one never know when it was real and when it was fake.

"Even so, there was no need to kill Xia Qing, right? And didn’t he ever consider a DNA test?" Ye Ranran still didn’t quite understand this kind of thought process.

Lu Fan’s act of saving Xia Qing was his choice; Xia Qing didn’t beg him for it, and to later seek revenge, how wronged she was.

"Lu Bing was actually wavering; he always kept an eye on Xia Qing. If he had wanted to act, there were plenty of opportunities, but he wasn’t devoid of humanity, especially with Xia Qing’s considerable care for him. What truly drove him to murder was when Xia Qing planned to leave."

Lu Bing had settled down here and naturally couldn’t leave with Xia Qing, so he earnestly urged her not to go.

"Your roots are in City B, where do you plan to go if you leave? Where else is your home?" Lu Bing looked at Xia Qing with disapproval.

He felt that Xia Qing had aged and become foolish.
