Chapter 309 - 309 Going Together

309 Going Together

Fang Tianliu was silent.

Yue Jiaojiao could only silently shake her head.

He used to be the favored young master of the Fang family, the famous lord of Huai County.

In the past, no one dared to provoke him, but now…

“Zhao Zhan,” Fang Tianliu’s eyes were listless, “Let’s forget about it. Do you still remember the first time I met Xiangjun?” Fang Tianliu thought of the past, and his face became even more bitter. Xiangjun has always been someone who loved and hated intensely.

“Back then, she fought for justice for you and directly went against her father. If not for that, you would not have agreed to let her be the manager… Now…”

At that time, he had been surrounded and beaten up. Not once did she turn to him. Through the gap between his arms, he looked at Li Xiangjun, who was standing at the side.

He only felt that the other party’s gaze made his entire body turn cold. Even the punches and kicks that landed on his body didn’t hurt him as much as his heart.

“She didn’t choose me.”

Fang Tianliu loved her feisty and headstrong personality.

“At least, between Manager Li and me, she didn’t choose me this time.”

If he had known her for long, he might have been willing to believe that Li Xiangjun had been forced by her father to this point.

The light in Fang Tianfu’s eyes extinguished. “Zhao Zhan, other than the home, I’ve changed everything else into silver. I’ll give you the silver. Help me find out the truth behind my parents’ deaths.” Fang Tianliu laughed at himself. “My father was right, I really am a waste of space. At this time, what I want to do most is to die and end everything. If I see my parents in the afterlife, my father might even get to scold me again.”

His parents had died and Li Xiangjun was his only ray of light.

Now, the light had gone out, and he didn’t want to live in this world.

“Xiangjun is very good at managing the shop in Huai County.” Fang Tianliu continued, “Zhao Zhan, please don’t fire her because of me. The matter between me and her has nothing to do with the shop.”

Fang Tianliu’s fighting spirit fizzled out.

Zhao Zhan muttered to himself for a moment, then pressed down on his shoulder and looked straight at him. “I’m going to Bei City soon. Do you want to come with me? To be honest, I’m going to Bei City for revenge.” Zhao Zhan hid most of the truth. “This trip will be dangerous. If we set out together, we might be lucky enough to die. Otherwise, if you are all alone, you might not be able to catch up to your parents. It will be a little lonely on the road.”

Yue Jiaojiao could not help but take a few more glances at Zhao Zhan.

This damnable comfort was really original.

Fang Tianliu looked at Zhao Zhan.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll go to Bei City with you. To tell you the truth, my father’s last escort trip was to Bei City.

“I’ve heard my father mention it before. The Zhang family was supposed to receive the goods.”

“The Zhang family?” Yue Jiaojiao subconsciously opened her mouth to speak, but then she composed herself and said, “Perhaps your parents might also want you to find out the truth. Since you will be going to Bei City with Zhao Zhan, why don’t you pull yourself together first? After you find out the truth, you can give an explanation to your parents in the afterlife, right?”

Fang Tianliu nodded his head heavily. “You’re right. When my father was alive, he often looked down on me. Now that he’s gone, I must make him look at me in a different light before I see him again. I didn’t make him a happy person, but I have to make him a happy ghost.”

Yue Jiaojiao was speechless.

Zhao Zhan hurriedly added, “Since you’ve already made your decision, do you want to eat something first before preparing to leave?”

This was really a coincidence.

No matter what, it was good that he was willing to pull himself together. Maybe if he pulled himself together, he would be able to completely give up on the idea of suicide.

“Thank you, Zhao Zhan, but I still want to lie down for a while.” Fang Tianliu lay down again. “When are we leaving?”

“In three days.”

Zhao Zhan thought for a moment and decided not to tell him about going with Wagler.

What if Fang Tianliu felt that he had someone to accompany him and changed his mind?

“Then I’ll sleep for three days,” Fang Tianliu pulled the blanket over his head. “Come and call me after three days.”

Zhao Zhan still wanted to persuade him to eat, but Yue Jiaojiao tugged at his clothes.

“I’ll get Madam Qin to bring you and Doctor Sun’s meals over in the next few days.” Yue Jiaojiao glanced at the unmoving blanket.

“Doctor Sun and the others will be staying here to take care of you. It’s a little lonely to eat alone, so remember to keep him company.

“Zhao Zhan and I will go and pack our luggage first. We will help you prepare your share.”

Yue Jiaojiao held Zhao Zhan’s hand and left.

Just as they reached the backyard, Yue Jiaojiao called out to Madam Qin, “I’ll have to trouble you to prepare meals for Doctor Sun and Fang Tianliu for the next two days. Make them something light.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be on it.” Madam Qin glanced in the direction of the front yard and sighed. “Fang Tianliu is a really pitiful, poor boy. How could such a bad thing happen to him…”

As soon as they entered the bedroom…

“Are you thinking of the same Zhang family from Bei City?”

“I don’t know.”

Yue Jiaojiao shook her head slightly. “I just had a sudden feeling that Fang Tianliu’s matter is not only related to him. I keep feeling that we can also get the answer we want from this.”

Zhang…

The only thing Zhao Zhan could think of was the name Zhang Lingshen that he had managed to get from Yang Lizheng.

Besides, his lover’s intuition had always been very accurate…

Zhao Zhan let out a long sigh. “I’m just worried that we’re the ones actually involved in Fang Tianliu’s parents deaths.”

“We aren’t, don’t worry,” Yue Jiaojiao’s voice was reassuring, “Although Fang Tianliu’s parents’ death was strange, it has nothing to do with us.”

Her intuition had never told her that Fang Tianliu and Zhao Zhan would turn against each other.

“I’m relieved.” Zhao Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. “Fang Tianliu is an honest and kind man. I don’t want him to be implicated by me.”

Yue Jiaojiao held his hand.

“No matter what, you have to be careful when you go to Bei City. You don’t have to force things. Don’t be so stubborn to the point that you’ll fall into a dead end just to find the truth.”

Zhao Zhan’s face was solemn. “Alright, I promise you that I won’t be rash.”

Three days passed by in a flash.

Yue Jiaojiao led the two little puppies all the way to the village entrance to say goodbye.

“Hurry up and go back.” Zhao Zhan held her hands in his palms and squeezed them hard. “Your hands are cold.”

“I want to watch you leave.”

Yue Jiaojiao shook her head slightly and pulled out her hand to give Zhao Zhan a push. “Lizheng and Fang Tianliu are waiting for you. Hurry up and go.”

Zhao Zhan’s eyes were filled with reluctance. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he didn’t move at all.

“Jiaojiao…”

“Alright,” Yue Jiaojiao’s lips curled up. “Be careful, Wagler might get impatient and leave first. Hurry up and get on the ox cart.”

“Don’t worry,” Madam Qin promised. “Doctor Sun and I will take good care of your wife.”
