Chapter 62 - Old Friend
Chapter 62: Old Friend
When Qin Yu opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a very comfortable big bed. She realized it was not a hospital.
She sat up and found that she was wearing a cute set of cartoon pajamas. Inhaling sharply, she pulled up her shirt to take a look after feeling soreness all over her body. The wound had been bandaged and treated. The guy must have been sent to the hospital, right? However, she did not know if he could be saved. After all, he was seriously injured.
She got off the bed, opened the door, and walked out to a long corridor outside. She walked out casually, and there were stairs at the corner. Looking down from the stairs, she could directly see the living room downstairs.
There were many people in the living room. To be precise, there was a circle of people wearing camouflage clothing standing in front of the sofa, and a man in a black suit sat on the sofa. Everyone had solemn expressions.
Qin Yu went down the stairs.
He heard the man in black say coldly, “Shi Yong is so daring. Does he think all of us are dead?”
From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure at the stairs. He turned his head abruptly and saw Qin Yu, then jumped up immediately.
He walked quickly to the side of the stairs and said gently, “Xiao Yu, you’re up.”
The cold aura on his body dissipated in an instant.
He was not Xu Da. Qin Yu tilted her head and looked at him, then turned her gaze to the group of camouflage uniforms.
Xu Da immediately stepped out of the crowd and grinned. “Xiao Yu, that’s your uncle, Chu Nan.”
Qin Yu looked at the person called Chu Nan in front of her and did not say anything.
Xu Da did not have a distinct look, and his mannerisms were boorish, exuding the heavy aura of a soldier.
However, Chu Nan was completely different. He had a dark aura around him that could devour people whole. The smiling Chu Nan before her was refined and good-looking. He was between thirty and forty years old, and seemed mature and confident.
Qin Yu actually had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It was as if she had seen him before.
“Uncle… Chu Nan?” Qin Yu called out softly.
Chu Nan was a little excited and stretched out his hand to her. “Xiao Yu.”
Qin Yu walked down two more steps and met Chu Nan’s gaze.
Chu Nan stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Yu into his embrace. “Xiao Yu, I’ve finally found you.”
There was actually a hint of a sob in his voice.
Qin Yu felt a little uncomfortable deep down.
She gently broke away from Chu Nan’s embrace. “I’m sorry. I don’t remember many things from the past. As I injured my head, I remember even less compared to others. Do I know you guys?”
She had no memory of these people, but her instincts told her they were familiar and she could trust them.
Xu Da stood at the side and smiled. “It’s okay. We can get to know each other again. As long as you still remember that poem, we will know that you are Xiao Yu even if you are at the ends of the earth.”
Qin Yu looked at the person before her with tears in her eyes.
Chu Nan patted her shoulder. “Come, tell me, how have you been all these years?”
Qin Yu told him about her experience in the Shi family.
Everyone was furious when they heard Shi Xiao push her down from the second floor because of a doll.
Some of them cursed Shi Yong for breaking his promise. Some scolded Shi Yong for not teaching his daughter well and for bullying Qin Yu like this. Some people immediately wanted to beat him up.
Chu Nan and Xu Da did not say a word, but their faces were ashen and their hands were clenched into fists.
Qin Yu asked Chu Nan, “Why was I adopted by Shi Yong?”
This was a question that had troubled her for many years. No matter how one looked at it, the reason for Shi Yong adopting here seemed to be filled with loopholes.
It was said that Shi Yong was repaying an old favor. If that was the case, why did Shi Yong turn a blind eye to his wife and daughter bullying Qin Yu for so many years? If not for his attitude, Qu Li and Shi Xiao would not have dared to abuse her so blatantly.
Shi Yong had been glorified for taking her in, yet he had been keeping her identity a secret. Why?
Qin Yu was puzzled. She always felt that Shi Yong had no choice but to support her.
Chu Nan and Xu Da looked at each other and sighed.
“Xiao Yu, forgive us. Back then, we had no choice but to hand you over to that b*stard. A book really can’t be judged by its cover. I really didn’t think that he would dare to treat you like this!”Xu Da said bitterly.
Chu Nan said coldly, “Shi Yong probably thought that none of us would survive, right?”
The expressions of Xu Da and the others turned extremely ugly.
