Chapter 1245: The Last Straw
Chen Youran spoke gently, and her tone sounded very sincere, but Zhou Chengchen’s face turned completely cold.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Chengchen asked coldly, and Chen Youran was taken aback, "Ah? What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by saying that some people are over once they’re gone? What are you trying to say?"
"I..."
Chen Youran seemed frightened by Zhou Chengchen, with a pitiful look on her face. After a long pause, she finally squeezed out a sentence: "Xi... Xi Siyan and Yueyue are together, and you guys..."
Sometimes, saying half a sentence can have a better effect than saying it all out.
At this moment, Chen Youran only said half of the sentence, and Zhou Chengchen’s face was both cold and pale.
"How do you know?"
One word at a time, articulated very clearly, almost as if each word was spat out separately.
Chen Youran became even more frightened, and stammered: "That day... that night, they... were together, I... I saw them."
Zhou Chengchen herself didn’t know how she got home; she just knew that after Chen Youran’s last sentence, she felt like all her strength had been drained from her body.
In fact, whether Chen Youran’s words were true or not was still debatable, but Zhou Chengchen had completely lost the mindset to care. Her patience was exhausted, and Chen Youran’s words were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Zhou Chengchen returned home to an empty living room; Zhou Chengze and Qi Cheng hadn’t come back from the gala yet.
An Rui and Zhou Qi were in Zhou Qi’s room playing games.
Zhou Chengchen stepped forward, knocked on the door, and lowered her head, making it hard to see her facial expression. Still, Zhou Chengchen was radiating a gloomy aura that could be felt without seeing her face.
"Cheng Chen?"
"When are you leaving?"
"Leaving?"
"To Europe?"
Zhou Qi scratched his head, "That’s not decided yet."
"Then book the ticket now."
"Huh?"
"I will book the ticket."
As Zhou Chengchen spoke, she turned back to her room. Zhou Qi watched her back, temporarily ignoring his game, frowned, and turned to ask An Rui behind him, "What’s wrong with her?"
An Rui looked equally confused, "You’re asking me? Come on, dude, that’s your sister, okay?"
Zhou Chengchen did exactly what she said. Her passport and visa were still valid from before, so she directly bought the earliest flight from B City to the United Kingdom for the next day.
When Zhou Qi and An Rui heard about this, they were almost scared to death. Moving so decisively was a bit too much, right?
However, Zhou Qi realized something was wrong with Zhou Chengchen. Since the ticket was already booked, they couldn’t not go. He sent An Rui back to get the documents and then walked directly into Zhou Chengchen’s room: "Cheng Chen, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing, I want to rest."
"Did you have a fight with Xi Siyan? Did that guy bully you? I’ll go..."
Before Zhou Qi could finish his sentence, Zhou Chengchen already threw a cushion at him: "Sleep."
Zhou Chengchen didn’t cry or throw a tantrum; she just looked angry. Zhou Qi didn’t think much of it. He knew his sister’s temper well. If she was really angry, letting her calm down by herself was the only way.
The next day, before dawn, the three of them were already heading to the airport. Both sets of parents were somewhat surprised by their sudden decision, but Zhou Chengchen never played by the rules.
As a mother, Qi Cheng complained a bit about her being reckless but didn’t interfere much.
