Chapter 456: 456, leaving, is because of trading
Yan Pingdan gave a light laugh, his mood suddenly brightened up, and he started to joke: “Why did you suddenly become so sentimental, even mentioning life after rebirth? If there is a next life, I would not want to be your elder brother and take care of you. In the next life, you should become a man, you will be my sister, and I will be your brother, and it will be your turn to take care of me.”
Song Qinghuan laughed at his teasing, the gloom in her heart instantly disappeared: “Okay! It’s settled then. In my next life, I will be your sister and take care of you, my little brother.”
“But in this life, it’s still my job as your elder brother to take care of you. I still need to keep a low profile for a while, but I have bought a house before. You can live there in the future. You have to take good care of yourself. During the period when I can’t take care of you, you can find a job or even find a man who genuinely cares about you and start dating him. Once I have settled my issues, I will take you to America.” Yan Pingdan said, pulling a key out from his pocket and handing it to Song Qinghuan, “The address is 178, Cheng Ding Road.”
Song Qinghuan lowered her gaze to look at the key and lightly bit her lip: “Move away, but brother, I… I have a home.”
If it were a few days ago, when her brother appeared and gave her a key, she would be more than eager to take the key, pack her luggage and live there.
But these two days, she’s been feeling uneasy about leaving Shi Yuhuan alone.
Yan Pingdan frowned: “What home do you have? Shi Yuhuan’s villa isn’t your home. He isn’t an ordinary man. Being with him is dangerous, and you two aren’t a good fit. Most importantly, he doesn’t love you. I don’t want you to be with someone who doesn’t love you. You will lead a hard life that way.”
Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and gave a faint smile, “Actually, he is quite nice to me.”
Yan Pingdan looked at her coldly: “Is he nice to you? Enough to put you in danger. That time when you were nearly frozen to death, that was his plot. He knew very well this would put you in danger, but he let it happen. A good man would not trade you away just to find out from me who is X.”
Suddenly, her face hardened like plaster. Song Qinghuan struggled to stay calm: “Brother, are you saying that Shi Yuhuan traded me away to find out the whereabouts of X?”
She felt weak, barely able to keep herself steady.
A sharp pain pierced her heart, stirring up an intense ache. Song Qinghuan was unwilling to believe, her eyes filled with suppressed sorrow: “How could this be?”
Yan Pingdan sneered coldly: “Why not? Right after your accident, he came to me because he knew I saved you. He wanted to know the truth behind the money laundering, but I was also investigating the matter. He had seen my diary and knew about the existence of X, so he asked who X was. Shi Mu had nothing to do with this, so of course, I wouldn’t tell him. I told him to stay away from you so that you wouldn’t be put in danger. At first, he wouldn’t agree, but then he said if I told him who X was, he would leave you.”
His words hit her like a rock, creating a buzzing noise in her head.
Hot tears welled up in her eyes. Song Qinghuan tried hard to hold back the sourness, turned her head away, and said in a barely audible voice: “So, the cruel words he said to me were because he made a trade with you?”
“What cruel words did he say to you?” Yan Pingdan frowned.
A bitter smile spread across her lips. Song Qinghuan took a sip of her water which had gone cold, the tasteless water was bitter in her mouth.
