LIGHTNOVELONLINE “Our Su Family has raised you for so many years. What’s the big deal about being a substitute? You owe your life to us!”
“I don’t care if you are carring the torch for someone or if you were engaged before birth. Anyway, even if you’re dead, you’re going to marry Commander Leng!”
“Ruoqing, I know this is a grievance to you, but I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do. I love Youyou too much. Please, get married as a substitute for her.”
The adoptive parents, and her fiance that she loved secretly- to be precise, her former fiance, as well as all the things that everyone had said the night before, kept haunting her until the crack of dawn.
She was an orphan that the Su Family had kindly adopted, and she was treated coldly.
Everyone told her to be grateful, content, and tolerant.
But who remembered her parents who died miserably to save the Su Family and the Ming Family?
The car was moving on the road smoothly. The pedestrians outside the window went backwards rapidly, and the street was bustling.
Overwhelmed by a flood of painful memories, Su Ruoqing closed her eyes.
Leng Yuhe was known in the south as a commander from the Leng Family at an early age, the only young master in the military governor’s mansion, with an influential background and enormous power, and he still firmly held the control of the General Taxation Department of Customs, but…
So what if he was young and powerful? The man was more famous for his ruthless, insidious and cunning character, than for his magnificent influence.
Rumor had it that the blood of people by him were more than the water he had drunk in his entire life. Hundreds of dead bodies were buried in the backyard of his mansion.
None of the women who had entered his bedroom were luck enough to come out alive.
Su Ruoqing trembled at the mere thought of it.
They didn’t want her to marry but to sacrifice her life as a substitute.
The car stopped outside a very imposing European-style villa, with high walls and a massive entry foyer, which added to its majesty and luxury. Outside the heavily fortified gate, there stood many soldiers with guns.
When she got out of the car, Su Ruoqing turned pale as the mere sight of those long- barrelled guns of the soldiers at the gate.
After walking for a few minutes through the gate and courtyard, Su Ruoqing finally stepped into the interior door of this exquisite and luxurious villa. The servants kept coming and going, but not a single sound could be heard in the whole huge house.
There was nothing but dead silence and depression.
“Please go upstairs and wait for Young Commander to come home.” The elderly housekeeper came forward, speaking in a calm voice.
At first glance, the man was kind, judging from his benign face. So she was relieved and asked softly, “He… will he come back to me directly? The wedding…”
“We’ll arrange the wedding later.” The housekeeper said, raising his hand forward to urge Su Ruoqing to go upstairs.
She lowered her eyelids and cracked a wry smile.
Later… She was afraid that she would lose her life and couldn’t expect anything in the future after the horrible man returned.
But she had to brace herself, go upstairs and enter the room.
As soon as she stepped in, the door was clicked shut and the room fell into silence.
Su Ruoqing stood there for a while before looking up at the room.
There was an inner room. In this room outside, there were a beige sofa, a glass tea table rimmed with gold, with flowers and snacks on it, with the addition of a phonograph and a separate copper phone on a small table next to it, which bled into the panache of this young commander’s bedroom.
Su Ruoqing looked around and then sat quietly on the sofa, her eyes closed.
After a long time, she suddenly heard the footsteps of a group of people from the quiet corridor. The door was pushed open with a creak.
Su Ruoqing felt shivers running down her spine. Then she hurriedly stood up and cast her nervous gaze towards the door.
