Chapter 25 A Bond More Important Than Love

Shu Ying didn't know where they got so many fallacies from, but Li Qingqing had no other choice. She dropped out of school early to work, and all the wages she earned went to her younger brother.

Just thinking about those days is suffocating. Shu Ying doesn't know how she escaped that home time and time again. Fortunately, her husband also has a secure job with the government and works in the same unit as Xie Zhiyan, so Li Qingqing's parents have to be a little wary.

Otherwise, in their original plan, Li Qingqing was to marry an old man in exchange for a bride price for her younger brother.

Shu Ying propped her head up with one hand, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Even though her mind was in complete turmoil, she was still trying to sort things out.

"When Xie Zhiyan disappeared, Li Qingqing's husband, Duan Huaichuan, also disappeared. But Shu Yan is a reincarnation, so she's so sure Xie Zhiyan is alright. What about Duan Huaichuan?"

Shu Ying crossed her legs and nestled into the sofa. She slowly opened her eyes and gently tapped her temples with her fingers.

Duan Huaichuan and Xie Zhiyan work in the same unit, so normally their actions should be coordinated. Currently, he only has two possible outcomes.

She could either return with Xie Zhiyan or sacrifice herself on the front lines, but both outcomes would offer Li Qingqing a decent future.

“If Duan Huaichuan were still alive, Qingqing could come with me to the family compound. As long as she's free from this family's control, her future won't be too bad. But if he's dead…”

Shu Ying paused for a moment, then said, "Qingqing is now the widow of a martyr, and she should receive a large sum of compensation. She should hold onto that money tightly and use it to do some business later."
