Chapter 117 Chen Shuishui's Life Story
"Ms. Shu, I believe you must have known something about my husband's case before you came." Su Zhiqiu paused after speaking, and looked at Shu Wanwan with complicated eyes, as if waiting for an answer.
Shu Wanwan looked at her and nodded slightly, indicating that she did know something.
Seeing this, Su Zhiqiu continued, "Actually, Shui Shui is the housekeeper's child. After my husband died, I returned to the villa and wanted to take care of his paintings. Unexpectedly, I ran into the housekeeper who had fled and hid in the basement. That housekeeper was simply a beast... I..."
At this point, Su Zhiqiu's voice began to choke, tears streaming down her cheeks, as if she was back to the scene at that time.
When everyone heard Su Zhiqiu say this, they all guessed something about what was going on. Shu Wanwan patted her shoulder, as if to comfort her.
She took deep, forceful breaths, trying to calm her inner panic. Her hands trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness. She gritted her teeth, fighting back tears as she continued, "That beast did that to me, and yet he still wanted to kill me. Even as I closed my eyes, waiting for death, it never came! I don't know what happened. I opened my eyes and saw that he was suddenly restrained by a mysterious and powerful force. The knife that was supposed to stab me was strangely turned towards his own chest!"
Her voice trembled slightly, as if the memory of that horrific scene still made her heart palpitate. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
"I was terrified because the situation was so bizarre. No one would believe I hadn't killed him!" Her eyes gleamed with despair, her voice low and hoarse. "I knew if I didn't escape, death or imprisonment awaited me. So, I quickly cleaned up the scene, erased any evidence that might point to me, and left the villa as quickly as possible."
Her tone gradually grew firmer, her eyes revealing a resolute determination. "I had no choice but to seek asylum abroad." She paused briefly, as if recalling the days of exile. "I moved from country to country, constantly changing my identity and residence, using every possible means to conceal my whereabouts."
She sighed, a look of pain flashing in her eyes. "Two months later, back home, I was following the news. The housekeeper had been ruled to have committed suicide. No one knew I'd been to the castle, no one knew what happened to me that night." She shook her head slightly, seeming incredibly exhausted by what had happened.
"Later, I found out I was pregnant. Giving birth alone abroad was too troublesome, so I returned to China and hid here in Qingshui Village. But I still told others that I was abroad and hadn't returned."
Su Zhiqiu gently stroked Shui Shui's head as she spoke, her eyes filled with love and tenderness. She continued, "Since then, I have always lived with Shui Shui, giving her the best education and care. It doesn't matter who her father is; I only know that I am her mother."
She recalled the scene at that time, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Although raising a child alone was not easy, she never regretted her decision. Shui Shui was everything in her life, and she was willing to give everything for him.
Shui Shui raised his head, looked into his mother's eyes, and felt her deep love. He hugged his mother's legs tightly, as if to express his dependence on and gratitude to his mother.
"Mom." Shui Shui said softly.
Tears welled up in Su Zhiqiu's eyes. She gently patted Shui Shui's back and comforted her, "Child, will you blame me?"
Chen Shuishui shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.
Her mother never put any responsibility on her just because she was the child she gave birth to. She was raised very well, gentle, sensible, humble, polite and graceful.
All this is also due to the fact that Su Zhiqiu is an independent and outstanding woman. She has her own life and career, and has become the confidence of her children.
At that moment, their love for each other became even deeper. Although there may be many difficulties and challenges waiting for them in life, they believe that as long as they support each other and face them together, they will be able to overcome the difficulties.
Shui Shui held her mother's arm, enjoying the tranquility and warmth.
Su Zhiqiu went on to explain, "Shui Shui has been weak since she was young and often sick. When she was little, she went to the villa once and came back with a fever and a cold. The medicine only made her condition worse, so I took her to a remote place to recuperate."
Su Zhiqiu wiped the tears from her eyes and turned to Shu Wanwan, "Then I met a Taoist priest. He said that one day Shui Shui's fate would harm her. I was very scared at the time and begged for a long time. Finally, the Taoist priest agreed to hide Shui Shui's fate."
After hearing Su Zhiqiu's words, things seemed to finally fall into place. Perhaps Su Zhiqiu's rape coincided with Chen Yuan's ghost day. Seeing his wife in dishevel, he was enraged and killed the housekeeper himself. Later, the police arrived and, after an investigation, confirmed that the housekeeper had committed suicide, so they dropped the investigation.
However, according to Su Zhiqiu, Chen Shuishui's fate had been hidden. So why was she still plagued by the black energy and suffered such a disaster? This made me ponder. Could it be that even if her fate was hidden, the trajectory of her destiny could not be completely changed? Or were there other unknown factors influencing everything? These questions puzzled me, and my thoughts kept swirling, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
Shu Wanwan frowned. "That's strange. Also, why did you suddenly disappear? And who is the man in the photo?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Chen Shuishui's eyes, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Shu Wanwan always felt that Su Zhiqiu was hiding something. "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to help you solve these problems. Her fate may still cause her to suffer. Only if you tell me can I help you find a solution."
Chen Shuishui looked at Shu Wanwan with a firm gaze, "I'll say."
After saying this, Chen Shuishui was ready to tell everything she knew.
"The man in the photo is called Duan Xiang. He was my boyfriend in college. He was two years older than me and a senior. We met through club activities. He was a very nice guy and we had a good relationship. When he graduated, I brought him home, intending to introduce him to my mother and establish a long-term relationship. But when he met my mother, my nightmare began."
