Chapter 432 Coincidence

\"What do you mean?\" Qin Fei knitted her brows and tried to shake her husband's hands off her arms. However, Xuan Hui is not budging.

\"We need to go now.\" He said as he squeezed her arm tighter. It made her flinched. \"Now.\" Seeing the anger in his eyes, Qin Fei gritted his teeth and nodded. She then looked at everyone in the room. They were acting as if they did not see her and Xuan Hui.

\"So hateful.\" She murmured as she followed Xuan Hui in the back door.

\"I already told you not to involve yourself in Lily's death!\" Xuan Hui immediately said the moment they went inside the car.

\"She is my sister! Why can't I grieve for her?\"

\"We all know that's not the reason why you are there.\" Xuan Hui stated and shook his head in exhaustion. He then handed her a tablet. \"Stay at home. They are trying to turn the tables. If my guess is right… then this is Zhou Jingren's way of moving the attention away from Lily's funeral.\"

\"What does this mean?\" Qin Fei asked. Panic apparent in her voice. \"I… Who is this man?\"

\"Some people posted pictures of you with the CEO of A station. They are saying that you are his mistress. Some people are claiming you are using Lily's death to gain popularity and sympathy. They said you are planning to divorce me because of this man.\"

\"That is not true!\"

\"I know!\" Xuan Hui said. \"But the media would not care about the truth. People are already outside of our residence trying to ask for an interview. You need to stay in the hotel for now.\"

\"This—\"

\"You shouldn't have taken advantage of the situation. Zhou Jingren is more ruthless than Lily. He would not stop until you — we are done.\"

\"Then stop the car.\" Qin Fei said. \"I will beg him. I will apologize and beg him.\"

\"WHAT?\" Xuan Hui narrowed his eyes at his wife. \"What do you mean?\" He suppressed the anger in his eyes as Qin Fei started telling him how she will beg Zhou Jingren to stop making them suffer in front of everyone. While Xuan hui truly loved this woman, he still could not help but wonder if he had made a mistake in loving her.

How could he love such a stupid person?

After such a big scandal. The attention of the media completely shifted. They stopped camping out of the chapel and went to the Xuan Family's estate, instead.

The rest of the wake and funeral turned uneventful. Everyone including Zhou Jingren grieved. Everyone spilled their tears as they recalled their closest memories with Lily.

\"I am sorry that you lost her,\" Jack said as he stood next to Zhou Jingren. \"Lily was such… a wonderful woman. Without her… there is no me.\"

Zhou Jingren nodded. \"I am sad that Qin Yuanfeng was not able to come.\"

\"He… we already know that he is unstable. When I informed him that Lily died… he… just lost it.\" Jack explained, sadness flashing in his eyes. \"Listen… if you need anything from me. I would — I would do everything to help you find who did this.\"

\"Just — Just don't hesitate to ask,\" Jack added. In response, Zhou Jingren shifted his gaze at him.

\"Thank you.\"

\"However…\" Jack met Zhou Jingren's blank stare. \"If… If I found out that you are somehow involved in her death. You know what will happen, right?\"

\"You think… I am involved in this?\" Zhou Jingren asked. \"You think… I killed her?\"

\"Can you blame me? Now that Lily is dead… you will have everything.\" Jack said. \"I bet everyone close to Lily thinks the same way.\"

\"Her wealth will go to various charities a year after her death.\" Zhou Jingren said. This earned a scoff from Jack. However, Zhou Jingren remained unfazed he stared at the man for a few seconds before he looked at Lily's framed photo. \"But, I can't blame anyone for thinking that way.\" He uttered.

\"Hmmm.\" Jack nodded as silence followed. After a few minutes, he bid his goodbye to everyone, including Zhou Jingren.

\"We should go now.\" Bei Tian urged Zhou Jingren. \"It is already late.\" He added. \"Everyone is waiting for you in Sky City.\" He was talking about Li Shanshan and Fernando.

All throughout the wake, Li Shanshan and Fernando did not have the time to have a conversation with Zhou Jingren. It was because… Li Shanshan had been crying the entire time, while Fernando was consoling her.

\"The Royals?\"

\"Same… everyone is waiting for you.\" Bei Tian said. \"Are you planning on telling them about… your theory?\" Bei Tian immediately pursed his lips when he realized his mistake.

\"It wasn't a theory!\" As expected, Zhou Jingren's voice raised. He narrowed his eyes at Bei Tian. \"Do you think I'm crazy?'

\"Would it offend you if I say yes?\" Bei Tian said. Half of him actually believed — hoped that Zhou Jingren was right. While half of him was… still in a haze.

Until now, Bei Tian found it hard to believe that someone would just do this with no clear motive. Why would they kidnap Lily? Why staged her death? Are they trying to break Zhou Jingren's heart? Questions upon questions made his head ache.

\"We don't have proof that she is still alive.\" Bei Tian added.

\"What about the CCTV? It was…\"

\"It has been like that for weeks. It was broken a couple of weeks ago. A couple of weeks before the accident.\"

\"But… the coincidence is too much… I don't believe\"

\"Coincidence happens all the time!\" Bei Tian hissed. Seeing Zhou Jingren like this is affecting him. He sighed as he remembered how he discovered that Zhou Jingren lied to Cathy and Yang Mi about the CCTV. \"We should… We should just go see everyone.\"

Zhou Jingren nodded and sighed. Honestly, he felt defeated. He knew that Bei Tian and maybe everyone else had been doubting his sanity right now. Yet, he honestly does not know how to convince them he was telling the truth.

He could feel it. He could feel that Lily was still alive, and Zhou Jingren does not need any concrete proof of that. He was not crazy… however, convincing everyone would be a little difficult now that the result of the DNA is there.
