I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 8

Su Wan shivered as she was wrapped in a blanket. She had been dragged down the bed by someone with her.

“Su Wan, what have you done?!”

Su Wan blankly raised her head.

The man’s handsome face was filled with extreme anger as he glared at her.

Beside him, Li Mengqing was holding onto the wardrobe. She stood there pitifully with her pair of coquettish almond eyes out of focus.

Hearing the sound of Su Wan falling on the ground, Li Mengqing hastily fumbled her way over and pulled Huo Qing’s sleeve.

“Qing, this has nothing to do with her. Bai Shan is the culprit that caused my eyes to go blind …”

Huo Qing ignored her and grabbed Su Wan, gritting his teeth.

“You still dare to say that Bai Shan is not in cahoots with you? Why did you come back unharmed despite me leaving you in the Bai Family?! ”

He had only brought Mengjing to the hospital for treatment. It had only been three days, but she had returned home before him!

The Huo family had raised her for more than ten years, was it for her to betray him!

Huo Qing almost went mad when he thought of how she would betray him with that innocent and harmless face of hers.

Su Wan raised her head. In her eyes, there was a look of enduring sorrow.

Back in one piece?

Perhaps, in his opinion, it was still considered intact.

Bai Shan had only cut off the tendons in her right hand in front of all the elders before secretly letting her escape at night.

She knew that if he had not done so, the public’s anger would not have been quelled, and she might not have been able to survive.

And now, she might not be able to hold the gun in her right hand for the rest of her life.

Su Wan’s injured hand was tightly clenched inside her pajamas’ sleeves.

Suddenly, she remembered what Bai Shan had said to her before they left.

He said it was Li Mengqing who had taken the initiative to ask him to cooperate, offering to use her as a bargaining chip in exchange for the murderer of Blessing.

Bai Shan told her to be careful of Li Mengqing.

If it was like this, then Li Mengqing’s eyes just happened to go blind at this moment, which was strange.

Big brother didn’t have a reason to make her blind, but if Li Mengqing wasn’t hurt by her big brother, then she was purposely framing him …

Su Wan’s heart trembled, a guess formed in her mind:

She wanted to agitate the grudges between the Huo and Bai Families and destroy the Bai Clan?

Su Wan glanced at Li Mengqing. There was no trace of scheming on her pretty face.

She hesitated, then spoke with difficulty.

“Young master, there are some things that I think we need to further investigate …”

Before she even finished speaking, Huo Qing angrily grabbed her by the neck.

“Investigate?” Meng Jing is already like this, you want me to investigate?! “You better understand. From today onwards, I will make sure that no one from the Bai Clan remains in the Huo Clan’s territory!”

The vow to grind her teeth made Su Wan’s heart turn cold.

Huo Qing was not someone she was familiar with.

It became harder and harder to breathe, and her crimson red face made Huo Qing restless. He fiercely flung her off, hugged Li Meng Qing, and left.

“…”

As Su Wan’s hand was getting worse, Huo Qing assigned her a job.

He wanted her to take care of Li Mengqing.

The reason was, Li Mengqing’s current appearance was all because of her.

That day, when Su Wan was serving the soup, her injured right hand didn’t have any strength left. Li Meng Qing gently held it, and the soup splashed onto her body.

Ah!

Li Mengqing screamed.

Very quickly, the door to the study was opened and Huo Qing flipped over the railing while holding onto it with one hand.

He took the tissue and carefully wiped Li Mengqing’s face, then looked up in displeasure.

“What are you doing!”

Su Wan covered her wounded wrist and pursed her lips without saying anything.

Li Mengqing cried miserably.

“Qing, I only said that you promised to marry me, and Su Wan became excited …”

Su Wan looked at her exquisite acting and was speechless for a moment.

She was never a good talker.

He could only shake his head when Huo Qing looked over.

“I didn’t.”

Huo Qing comforted Li Mengqing as he lightly patted her back. His actions were gentle, as if he was the most gentle lover in the world.

He frowned at Su Wan.

“Get out.”

Su Wan stiffened her body and turned to leave, Li Meng Qing’s sobs still resounding in her ears.

“Ah Qing, tell her, I’m not lying. You really said you wanted to marry me, right?”

“Right.”

“Then… You’ll still marry me, won’t you? ”

“…” Yes. “Alright, stop crying.”

Su Wan’s originally straight back stiffened as if she had been electrocuted, and then she quickened her pace.
