Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 990 - Expected Pain  



Chapter 990: Expected Pain

If he had not obeyed such an evil woman, Qiyu would never have gone through those experiences.

It was the first time Zhao Heng had developed feelings for a woman, and he never imagined her to have suffered such agony in the past.

His heart went out for her, but he was filled with rage at the same time. If Lu Yunshuang had not already died, he would have made sure she suffered the same amount of pain Qiyu had.

How could such a vile and vicious woman even exist in this world?

He siphoned the same anger onto Chen Xuping, who was now an annoying prick to his eyes.

Zhao Heng’s rage and frustration had been accumulating for quite some time, and it erupted all at once when he saw Chen Xuping walk in through the door.

Chen Xuping was initially dazed when he was assaulted. He had no idea why this fellow would suddenly go berserk.

The blows Chen Xuping received were merciless and forceful. Chen Xuping eventually reacted and returned the beating in kind.

That was how things have escalated to the current situation.

Both men were badly bruised and looked utterly disheveled, but they showed no intention of stopping.

As such, they failed to notice Chen Qiyu coming over.

They were fighting bare-fisted and there was no trace of a formation or style to their fighting stances.

Zhao Heng swept a kick at Chen Xuping, planning to knock him off his feet, but was caught by surprise when Chen Qiyu entered their midst without warning.

Chen Xuping did not fall from his strike—Chen Qiyu ended up being the casualty.

His kick was sharp and swift. Before Chen Qiyu even knew what was happening, she felt a sharp pain at her feet, lost her footing, and fell over.

“Miss!” Mei’er screamed.

“Lil Sis!” Chen Xuping turned back after evading Zhao Heng’s attack and saw what happened. He called out to her, fear in his voice, and rushed over to catch her.

Unfortunately, he could not get there in time. Chen Qiyu tumbled forward, the collision to the ground imminent.

The ground was rough and the fall was sure to damage Chen Qiyu’s face. It if was particularly bad, there could be permanent disfiguration.

Chen Qiyu sighed and closed her eyes, accepting her fate.

However, the expected pain did not come and she instead felt something hard beneath her body that did not feel like rough ground. Then she heard a muffled grunt.

Surprised, Chen Qiyu opened her eyes, and saw the man under her who had stopped her fall.

She blinked and looked at him in astonishment.

“I thought you were skinny. Never would have guessed there’d be so much heft when you fall hard like that.” Zhao Heng clenched his teeth in pain, his handsome face was distorted, but he still did not forget to tease her.

He was already badly hurt from his fight with Chen Xuping and the hard tumble must have given him tremendous pain.

Chen Qiyu gave a start. While she was grateful for what he did, she also felt a bit embarrassed.

Before she was able to thank him, she felt a grip on her arm as Chen Xuping pulled her up.

Chen Xuping looked at the man lying disheveled on the ground and said gleefully, “Serves you right!”

Zhao Heng’s face turned dark as he was again reminded of Chen Qiyu’s humiliation. He clenched his teeth and said sarcastically, “Chen Xuping, are you still a man?!”

Chen Xuping was about to help Zhao Heng up when he heard the words. He stopped mid-action and glared at Zhao Heng in astonishment. When he saw the burning rage in Zhao Heng’s eyes, a thought crossed his mind and he lowered his head with shame and regret.

Zhao Heng got up on his own.

When Chen Qiyu noticed the strange atmosphere between them, she broke the silence. “Big Brother Zhao, whatever happened to me had nothing to do with my brother. He had no idea about it. You shouldn’t be saying those angry words at him!”

Zhao Heng’s temper only got worse when he saw that Chen Qiyu was defending Chen Xuping. He knew this pair of siblings had never been fond of each other in the past, and he had always assumed that Chen Qiyu was the one with a problem. Now that he thought about it, it was Chen Xuping who was biased against Chen Qiyu.

However, he knew that Chen Xuping would never just stand by and watch Chen Qiyu get locked up in such a horrible place no matter how much he disliked her. Nevertheless, it was still a fact that Chen Xuping had been following Lu Yunshuang’s every order up to that.

Moreover, Chen Xuping could not discern the difference between right and wrong—he had aided a tyrant in terrorizing people. If he had not treated Chen Qiyu like that back then, Lu Yunshuang would never have dared harm Chen Qiyu that way either.

That was why Zhao Heng felt that Chen Xuping should also be held responsible for this.

He glared furiously at Chen Xuping, then turned to leave without another word.

Chen Xuping went deep into thought as he watched Zhao Heng leave in a cloud of anger.
