Chapter 368: Accident

In a fit of anger, Zhen Zhu used all her strength to push Li Zhongjin away.

In the dark, he was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

When he fell, he was so unlucky that he knocked his face on the coffee table. He screamed upon seeing two of his front teeth mixed with blood come out.

That night, Zhen Yiping was out on a business trip, and the old lady was in the city. The only adult in the manor was Zhen Zhu’s aunt, Zhen Yishu.

When Zhen Yishu rushed over, her heart ached when she saw her son’s hands and mouth covered in blood, as well as the two holes where his teeth used to be.

When asked about the reason for the fight, Li Zhongjin only admitted that he went to the wrong room, but he refused to admit that he had molested Zhen Zhu.

Seeing her son’s injury, she couldn’t help but be angry. Her tone toward Zhen Zhu was a little harsher. “You two are cousins after all. Even if your cousin entered the wrong room, you shouldn’t be so angry as to throw a cup at him. Look at how injured he is!”

“Aunt, how can you be so ignorant?” Zhen Zhu was sad and angry. “Not only did he break into my room to do those things to me, he also insulted me and my mother!”

“How did he insult your mother?” Zhen Yishu asked.

Zhen Zhu couldn’t bring herself to call her mother ‘loose Fox’. In the end, her face turned red as she said, “He just said bad things about my mother!”

With his mother’s support, Li Zhongjin was much more arrogant. “So what if I scolded your mother? She’s a Vixen who doesn’t know her place and seduces men outside. She’s a slut…”

Zhen Zhu felt like she was about to explode. She had completely lost her mind. There was a small fruit knife on the table.

She picked up the knife like crazy and suddenly stabbed Li Zhongjin. Zhen Yishu tried to stop her, but was stabbed instead.

This incident had alarmed Old Lady Zhen. Even Zhen Yiping, who was out on a business trip, had rushed back overnight.

At first, Zhen Zhu thought that her father would definitely stand on her side.

However, she did not expect that Zhen Yishu would deny that her son had molested Zhen Zhu in the middle of the night and used the most vicious words to insult her mother. Instead, she insisted he had only entered the wrong room and was accidentally injured by Zhen Zhu. The two of them had a disagreement and ended up fighting.

When she came to stop the fight, she said a few words to Zhen Zhu, but she ended up getting stabbed randomly with the knife.

At that time, Zhen Yishu was lying on the hospital bed. In front of Zhen Zhu, she said weakly to the old lady and Zhen Yiping, “Zhuzhu lost her mother at a young age. She’s so pitiful. I treat her like my own daughter. I never sided with anyone, and I was just stating the facts. Maybe I was a little harsh with my words at that time, but I did it for Zhuzhu’s good. What’s wrong with a girl fighting with a boy in the middle of the night? Zhongjin was too unruly. He was injured and was unconvinced, so the two started fighting again. I couldn’t even stop them… Speaking of which, it’s all because I didn’t teach my son well. Zhuzhu didn’t hurt me on purpose. She probably only used the knife to scare Zhongjin, so don’t blame her…”

Zhen Zhu couldn’t take it anymore and shouted angrily, “Don’t you pretend to be a good person! You’re clearly biased toward your son. You’re lying, you’re lying!”

Zhen Yishu wiped her tears. “I’m just telling you what I saw. Zhuzhu, what’s wrong with you? Why are you talking to me like this?”

Zhen Yiping’s face darkened as he raised his hand to slap Zhen Zhu. “Apologize to your aunt!”

Zhen Zhu couldn’t believe that her father, who had always loved her, would hit her.

In the end, she didn’t apologize and left the hospital, covering her face.

That night, she did not return to the Zhen family’s residence. Instead, she stayed at her classmate’s house for a few days. For the first time, she had the thought of studying abroad.

Zhen Yiping and the old lady didn’t agree, but Zhen Zhu was determined to leave and insisted on choosing another major, which went against Zhen Yiping’s expectations. Because of this, she had a big fight with him, and their father-daughter relationship fell to the freezing point.

The procedures for her to study abroad were completed very quickly. It took less than a week.

She had purposely picked a time when Zhen Yiping wasn’t home to go back to the residence and pack her luggage.

Old Lady Zhen tried to persuade her for a long time, but seeing that her efforts were fruitless, she could only give up.

Zhen Zhu accompanied her sister for dinner. Before she left, she decided to bid farewell to Old Lady Zhen

To her surprise, she found that Zhen Yishu had come to the house and was talking to the old lady.

“If Zhuzhu wants to study abroad, then let her go. She’s grown up and has her own ideas. It’s just,”

Zhen Yishu lowered his voice and said, “There are some things that I can’t tell Yiping, but I’ll feel uneasy if I don’t. Last time at Zhuzhu’s birthday party, I saw her chatting and joking around with a few male classmates. I heard from Zhongjin that she seemed to have had a few boyfriends in school. She’s still young, so you have to remind her to keep herself clean…”

Zhen Zhu was so angry that she almost wanted to rush in and confront Zhen Yishu.

However, Zhen Yishu’s next sentence made her freeze on the spot.

Zhen Yishu said, “To be honest, it was wrong of Zhongjin to scold Zhuzhu’s mother that night, but she really is a Vixen who doesn’t know her place. Yiping was so tolerant of her, but she seduced men outside. If she’s not a slut, then what is she? Back then, if she didn’t attract bees and butterflies outside and insist on eloping with someone, she wouldn’t have been reduced to nothing…”

“Yishu!”

The old lady’s voice was unusually stern as she interrupted the woman, “Why are you bringing up the past? You’re not allowed to mention it again.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll listen to you, Mom.”

Zhen Yishu quickly smiled apologetically. “I was just worried about Zhuzhu, so I accidentally let it slip in a moment of panic. Don’t worry, I won’t mention it again.”

This was the first time Zhen Zhu had heard of her mother’s death.

All these years, no one had ever told her that her mother was dead.

She rushed in, almost trembling, and asked Zhen Yishu in a trembling voice, “When did my mother die? How did she die?”

Zhen Yishu and the old lady’s expressions changed.

In the end, it was the old lady who calmed down quickly. “Your mother had an accident less than half a year after leaving the Zhen family. I think the helicopter she was on during her vacation crashed…”

Old Lady Zhen said amiably, “This happened so many years ago. When your mother met with an accident abroad, it was already a few months later when we received the news. You were still young then, so we never told you. We were afraid that you and Xiao Huan would be sad, so we never told you…”

The old lady’s words seemed to make sense.

However, Zhen Zhu still felt that something was wrong.

After she went abroad, she secretly hired a private detective to find out the identity of the man who had come to pick her mother up after her divorce. She wanted to find out the truth behind her mother’s death that year.

But before she could find anything, the private detective returned the fees she had paid. She looked for many people, but no one dared to take the job.

“Your mother has passed away.”

After that, Zhen Yiping came to look for her once and warned her seriously, “Don’t waste your energy investigating the past. You won’t be able to find anything because it was an accident..”
