Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 759 Give Your Brother an Explanation

When Luo Qiang was a child, Bai Qingxia remembered him as tall and chubby, intimidating and someone she dared not approach. But ten years later, she suddenly realized that Luo Qiang hadn't grown much taller, and the intense pressure he once exerted was gone... Perhaps it was the presence of the much taller and stronger Lu Yuanqiu beside her that gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.

At this moment, Luo Qiang's eyes were lifeless and his spirits were low, as if he had stayed up for many nights before appearing here. Bai Qingxia was not curious as to why he had become so different from when he was a child. She just wanted to hold on until the wedding was over and then leave.

This happy and lively environment made her feel uncomfortable.

But Luo Qiang's reaction was somewhat unexpected; he seemed even more uncomfortable.

Luo Qiang glanced at Bai Qingxia's face, then focused his gaze on the clothes she was wearing, and took a step back in surprise.

The proprietress next to him noticed his reaction and looked at him strangely. Luo Qiang said to his mother in a trembling voice, "I...I have something to do, I'll go back first."

"What's the matter with you?"

She couldn't stop her son. Luo Qiang turned around, squeezed through the crowd, and walked away quickly with his head down, as if a demon was chasing him.

Lu Yuanqiu noticed this scene, and after observing Bai Qingxia's expression, he was momentarily confused about what was going on.

Bai Qingxia actually knew people he didn't know.

The proprietress looked in their direction, paused briefly, then raised her eyebrows in surprise, clearly recognizing Lu Yuanqiu and his companion.

The girl, who had only visited the shop twice, left a deep impression on the shop owner.

"Young lady, you...you're my niece's bridesmaid? You two know each other?" The proprietress walked over in surprise.

"Do you remember me?" Seeing that Bai Qingxia did not respond, she asked again with a smile.

Bai Qingxia nodded with a gloomy expression.

Thinking of her son's reaction, the proprietress glanced at Lu Yuanqiu and asked Bai Qingxia, "Do you know my son too? The one who just left was my son."

Lu Yuanqiu was about to listen when he suddenly noticed that Bai Qingxia had raised her hand and grabbed his arm, holding it rather tightly.

"Excuse me, Auntie, she's not feeling well, so I'm taking her out for some fresh air."

Lu Yuanqiu put his arm around Bai Qingxia's shoulder and turned around to explain to the proprietress.

"Okay..."

The proprietress responded, then looked at the backs of Lu Yuanqiu and his companion, before turning back to glance in the direction her son had gone, completely bewildered.

"You guys go and follow Luo Wei and Zhong Jincheng first," Lu Yuanqiu instructed Long Liandong and Lu Douqing behind him.

"Oh, right." Lu Yuanqiu took out a ring from his pocket and handed it to Long Liandong, reminding her again, "Take this first. We've already rehearsed the steps beforehand. You should remember that if you feel you can't do it well, just hand it over to Teacher Su."

Long Liandong took it with both hands, blinking several times instinctively due to nervousness, and then nodded quickly to Lu Yuanqiu.

Lu Yuanqiu and his companion walked towards the side door of the banquet hall.

"What's wrong with them?" Lu Douqing asked from the side.

Long Liandong shook her head, looking at the ring in her hand, her five fingers clenched tightly.

Lu Yuanqiu pulled Bai Qingxia out the door and led her to a secluded place. He first checked the girl's condition to see if she was really unwell. Seeing that she seemed normal, Lu Yuanqiu asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Do you know the landlady's son? He seems a little afraid of you."

Bai Qingxia replied in a low voice, "I originally planned to tell you after the wedding."

"What exactly happened?" Lu Yuanqiu frowned and took her hand. Bai Qingxia looked up after a long while and told Lu Yuanqiu everything that happened ten years ago.

She would remember this for the rest of her life, but she never intended to share it with her closest relatives, because sharing was useless, and every time she shared it, it would reopen the wound, a painful process that would tear her apart.

Lu Yuanqiu's eyes were glazed over.

No wonder Bai Qingxia stared at the entrance of the community for a long time before leaving, because her brother had his accident right after leaving that door.

Lu Yuanqiu pretended to think, then took her other hand and said to Bai Qingxia, who was crying, after a moment, "Let's calm down a bit... We can now conclude that the driver who caused the accident, or rather the murderer, took advantage of your brother's outing that night."

“Yes, if I hadn’t told him about the toys being stolen, he wouldn’t have gone out that night.” Bai Qingxia cried as she squatted down.

Lu Yuanqiu also squatted down and hugged her.

There was something he didn't say: if the murderer had been alive, Bai Ruoan probably wouldn't have escaped death. Humans are inherently fragile, let alone a child facing a carefully designed calamity from adults without any knowledge of what was happening.

but.

Since Luo Qiang was the one who saw Bai Ruoan for the last time back then, could he still remember something? Even just a couple of lines from their conversation... Could he provide any clues from those lines?
So much time has passed since that incident, Lu Yuanqiu wanted to hold on tightly to even the slightest glimmer of hope.

"Xiaxia, this isn't your fault. The guilty parties are clearly listed before us; they are the real culprits. What we need to do now is gather evidence and give your brother an explanation," Lu Yuanqiu comforted her.

Bai Qingxia pressed her head against Lu Yuanqiu's chest and nodded vigorously.

Lu Yuanqiu stroked her hair, recalling Luo Qiang's strong reaction in the banquet hall just now. He could at least tell that this guy was not a heartless person. This incident must have become a shadow in his heart since childhood.

Even after ten years, he can still recognize Bai Qingxia immediately, which proves a lot.

Lu Yuanqiu planned to meet with Luo Qiang at some time, but Bai Qingxia couldn't be involved. The scar in her heart was too deep, and reopening it would only cause more harm.

"Let's just watch the wedding ceremony from the entrance and not go in, okay?" Lu Yuanqiu cupped her face in his hands, smiling as he tucked her tear-streaked hair behind her ear.

Honestly, I thought my girl wouldn't be hurt anymore after we got together, but who knew there were so many unresolved historical issues.

Lu Yuanqiu sighed inwardly.

He stood up, took Bai Qingxia's hand, and walked with her to the entrance of the banquet hall.

The one who gave the wedding ring was Long Liandong.

Long Liandong carefully handed the wedding ring to the newlyweds, then quickly stepped off the stage. As she stepped off, she smiled at Lu Douqing next to her. Perhaps Lu Douqing had cheered her on before she went on stage.

She's not a celebrity, she's just an ordinary girl who gets nervous in these kinds of situations.

"If my life were a novel, then at this moment, I feel as if I have reached my happy ending."

Zhong Jincheng took the microphone from the emcee and, with tears streaming down his face, conveyed his voice to every corner of the banquet hall.

Luo Wei also cried.

Whether it was due to Bai Qingxia's emotions or not, Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath, and his eyes also felt a little warm as he watched this scene from the doorway.

"Let's go for a walk."

"it is good."
