The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 440 - 438: Not a Heart Attack

"I’ve helped you enough already. If it weren’t for my grandparents and my mom, do you think you could continue living here peacefully?"

Chu Yan’s face cooled, and the dark shadow in his eyes was chilling. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

He used to seldom return here and hadn’t interacted with his uncle and aunt in a long time.

This time, he came back after being contacted by Lu Tingsheng, out of respect for their old relationship.

Only to find that this family intended to treat him like a big fool.

Chu Yan couldn’t be bothered to waste more words with them and directly left Lu Tingsheng’s villa.

"Mom, what should we do? Cousin has left!"

Lu Jun clutched the corner of his mother’s clothes, his expression anxious.

"This Chu Yan! He’s just like his father, heartless!"

She turned her head toward her husband, "Husband, shall we contact Lu Tingming? Let him pay for it. If he refuses, we’ll tell Chu Yan all about the past."

Lu Tingsheng remained silent, his expression changing unpredictably.

"What are you hesitating for? He’s so rich in Imperial City, and his new wife even has status. Is it so bad for you to be a small business owner? Once we’re in Imperial City...

The hush money for that incident was only five million. You lost everything in your business venture, we ask him for money, and he doesn’t even give it to us."

"I don’t really want to approach him," Lu Tingsheng said. "You know how powerful he is now, so influential. Given Lu Tingming’s ruthless nature, if we threaten him with this, what if he secretly harms us?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? You are his own brother! If it comes to worst, we’ll go to the media and expose everything!"

"That will lead to mutual destruction. If something happens to Lu Tingming, it won’t do us any good either."

"My son is about to go to jail. If it comes to mutual destruction, then let it be! I can’t let Lu Jun ruin his entire life, you have to go find Lu Tingming!

We have leverage over him, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like he can kill us all, can he?"

His wife tugged at Lu Tingsheng’s clothes agitatedly.

Finally, Lu Tingsheng said helplessly, "Okay, I’ll give him a call."

Lu Jun asked curiously, "Mom, Dad, what are you talking about? Can you tell me?"

"It’s about your uncle, Chu Yan’s biological father. If he could step in to help us, even if you committed murder, you could get away with it.

In Imperial City, he has taken a new wife and did many cruel things to abandon Chu Yan’s mother. If these get out, your uncle will have to go to jail!"

Lu Jun asked in shock, "What did he do? Did he kill someone?"

Lu Tingsheng and his wife exchanged a look, their eyes filled with regret.

Showing a reminiscing expression, he said, "Although it was an accident, I can’t help feeling it wasn’t really an accident. That day, I happened to see Lu Tingming return to the village, and then Han Xu had her accident."

His wife sneered with disdain, "If it were really an accident, why would Lu Tingming pay you hush money? He emphasized repeatedly not to tell others that he had been back to the village that day.

In my opinion, Han Xu was burned to death by Lu Tingming!"

"Don’t say it out loud, lest someone overhears!" warned Lu Tingsheng, startled.

"Who else is there in our house?" His wife continued chatting eagerly, "And Han Xu was burned to death in the factory, not dead from a heart attack.

When taken to the hospital, she was so burned that she was unrecognizable.

But nobody knows about this. Lu Tingming even had us tell Chu Yan that his mother died of a heart attack."

Lu Tingsheng naturally sensed the fishiness of this matter but Lu Tingming had given him five million, so he helped keep it a secret.

Before Chu Yan returned to the village, he quickly buried Han Xu’s body.

Overhearing his parents’ conversation, Lu Jun’s eyes widened.

"Dad, Mom, are you saying that uncle came back, set fire to aunt, and then had you lie to cousin that aunt died of a heart attack?"

"Exactly! Lu Tingming is such a cruel man. Han Xu bore him a son, supported him financially to study in Imperial City, and this is how he repaid her!"

"Enough, you’ve said enough, we know what happened," Lu Tingsheng cut off his wife cautiously, "Be careful the neighbors might hear."

"Fine, I won’t say more, just hurry up and call Lu Tingming."

"Understood."

Watching his parents, Lu Jun pursed his lips.

Chu Yan still hoped his parents could get the two million and then give it to his girlfriend’s family.

If they settled with money, he wouldn’t have to face a lawsuit, and his girlfriend’s dad would definitely treat her better.

Actually, Lu Jun really liked his girlfriend, which is why he had a relationship with her.

The girl’s father messaged him on WeChat, asking if he had slept with his daughter. He foolishly admitted it outright, saying he’d take responsibility for her.

But the girl’s father was just trying to get him to incriminate himself and obtain evidence from his own confession.

After this incident, he felt very angry and held some resentful energy towards his girlfriend.

But his girlfriend did not accuse him, and even wanted her father not to sue, but her father beat her instead.

Lu Jun calmed down, feeling a bit sorry for her.

"If we give the money, could I then marry her?"

Hearing their son’s words, Lu Tingsheng and his wife vehemently objected.

"Silly child, why would you marry her?"

"Exactly, her family are all ruffians. You are forbidden from being with her in the future."

Lu Tingsheng and his wife both despised the girl’s family.

Lu Jun drooped his eyebrows, remaining silent.

Suddenly, Lu Tingsheng’s cell phone rang.

On the other end was a voice crying bitterly.

"Lu Tingsheng! Your son caused my daughter’s death. You wait! I’m going to make sure your son goes to jail!"

The call was from the girl’s father.

Lu Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"My daughter has committed suicide, jumped off a building! You owe my daughter!"

"What?!"

All three were incredibly shocked and immediately rushed to the girl’s house.

As they hurriedly left, a ghost also floated out from their house.

The girl lingered close to Lu Jun, but as Lu Tingsheng’s car passed through the area where Qin Zhao and Chu Yan lived, the girl’s soul was pulled away by a strange force.

"Huh? A soul wandering around in broad daylight?"

Qin Zhao saw the girl whose soul appeared faint before him and warned, "What are you doing outside? Quickly find a shady place to hide, or else your soul will dissipate."

"I want to be with Lu Jun, why am I here?"

"Lu Jun?"

The girl had just finished speaking when Chu Yan walked out of the kitchen.

He had gone straight home after leaving from Lu Tingsheng’s place.

At that time, there was no soul of the girl at Lu Tingsheng’s house.

Chu Yan had barely left when the girl’s soul followed Lu Jun’s scent.

"What’s your relationship with Lu Jun?"

"I’m his girlfriend, but I died, and I want to see him one more time."

The girl had barely finished speaking when Qin Zhao said to Chu Yan, "Chu Yan, wash some strawberries for me; I want to eat strawberries."

"Okay."

He put down the apple slices he had cut and returned to the kitchen to wash the strawberries.

"As for you," Qin Zhao turned to look at the girl’s soul, "stop looking for your boyfriend. Your soul is very weak now and not fit for wandering outside."

The girl tilted her head and pointed at Chu Yan.

"He’s Chu Yan?"

"What? Fallen for my husband?"

"Your husband is indeed handsome, but I’m not interested."

The girl snorted, "I just heard his parents talking about someone named Chu Yan and something about Chu Yan’s mother at Lu Jun’s place."
