Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Fate Toys with People Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Fate Toys with People “It seems she’s co to,” Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow, looking at Lu Yilei across the way with neither sympathy nor empathy on her face, but rather a hint of sarcasm.
As for Lu Yilei being played for a fool by ng Rou, Nianyao didn’t feel much about it. If she were to speak her mind, she’d probably think he deserved it.
It was indeed partly ng Rou’s machinations that caught Lu Yilei off guard. However, Lu Yilei was also undeniably responsible. If his willpower had been strong enough, he surely would have harbored doubts, and ng Rou wouldn’t have been able to deceive him for so long.
Faced with Lu Yilei’s pressing questions, ng Rou remained silent, teeth clenched, saying nothing. She was well aware that anything she said now would make no difference.
It’s over; she was completely done for.
“Answer !” bellowed Lu Yilei, his face full of rage. “Answer now, or else—”
“Or else what?” ng Rou was defiant as if she had nothing left to lose. “What do I have left to care about?”
As she spoke, a sinister smile appeared on her face. “If I’m going down, I’m taking you with .”
“Lu Yilei, if you truly loved that girl nad Shu Ya, how could you have let succeed so easily? In the end, it’s because your love wasn’t deep enough.”
“You—” Watching ng Rou’s deanor, Lu Yilei was so furious his eyes turned red, and he wanted nothing more than to throttle her then and there.
But after a mont’s thought, he suddenly laughed, looked at ng Rou, and said, “Since you don’t want to talk, I won’t ask anymore. After all, I can’t trust anything that cos out of your mouth. I bet you’re quite pleased with yourself, playing like a fiddle. But, did you really understand what kind of person I am when you chose as your target?”
“I’m one for revenge. You toyed with , causing and Ya’er to miss our chance. How do you think I should deal with you? Or perhaps, how should I deal with your family?”
ng Rou’s face flickered with emotion when Lu Yilei ntioned her family, but in the end, she still remained silent.
Lu Yilei noticed ng Rou’s reaction, a chilly glint passing through his eyes before he turned away, ignoring her, and walked up to Zhong Nianyao.
He approached with formality, “Lady Zhong, I know you are capable, and I wanted to ask—”
He paused, then continued, “How is Ya’er… how is she doing now?”
He was truly afraid to hear bad news, especially knowing that ng Rou’s Evil Technique required Shu Ya’s Heart Blood. His fear had deepened even more.
“She’s fine,” Zhong Nianyao said indifferently. “ng Rou orchestrated an accident to obtain Shu Ya’s Heart Blood. Now, Shu Ya has completely recovered, with no lingering aftereffects.”
Upon hearing Zhong Nianyao’s words, Lu Yilei’s face broke into a smile. However, what she said next caused his smile to freeze instantly.
“However, the fate between you and Shu Ya has been severed because of this. You two have no possibility of being together in the future.”
Lu Yilei’s expression turned ashen. “Impossible, that can’t be. I—”
“No need to deny it, as it won’t change the facts,” Zhong Nianyao continued. “There was a fate between you two, of course, and if your love had been deep enough, it could have beco a true fate, and you could have been married, together for life.”
“But ng Rou’s appearance changed everything. As you were entangled with ng Rou, Shu Ya found her true destiny, and they are now discussing marriage. You can’t intervene anymore.”
This was an unchangeable reality; although Lu Yilei and Shu Ya were destined for each other, the workings of fate are not immutable.
A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South Arica may occasionally flap its wings and cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
This is known as the Butterfly Effect.
ng Rou’s appearance was the flap of the butterfly’s wings, bringing a significant change to the fates of the two people.
Originally, without any interference, Lu Yilei would have been entangled with ng Rou for life. Whereas Shu Ya, having missed her chance with Lu Yilei, was supposed to end up lonely for the rest of her life.
But Shu Ya, with her pure and kind heart, had accumulated much Yin De through her good deeds. It was too pitiful for such a person to be alone all her life, so Heavenly Dao arranged another fate for her.
This fate had already begun, and now the fruit was ripe for picking. Thus, even if Lu Yilei had co to his senses now, it wouldn’t change the facts.
Long before she knew ng Rou had resorted to such an Evil Technique, Zhong Nianyao had calculated the marital fate of Lu Yilei and Shu Ya. Unfortunately, so much had happened that it could no longer be reversed.
To say that Lu Yilei was at fault—it was true, he was a victim. But if his love for Shu Ya had been deeper and his will stronger, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Hence, to speak of the current situation, one could only sigh at the capricious twists of fate.
“No, it can’t be. Ya’er, she…” Lu Yilei’s heart knew the truth, but he refused to believe it.
Seeing Lu Yilei shattered like this, it was tough for Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu. But as things were now, it could be considered a good outco.
At least Lu Yilei had co to recognize ng Rou’s true face and wouldn’t be deceived by her anymore. Whatever the future held, they would deal with it then.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yilei’s anguish and finally said, “So now, do you still want to plead for ng Rou?”
Hearing Zhong Nianyao ntion ng Rou, Lu Yilei clenched his jaw, barely containing the hatred inside, then took a deep breath of fresh air before speaking, “No, Lady Zhong, what do you plan to do with ng Rou?”
“How to deal with her?” Zhong Nianyao considered before replying, “Actually, even if we do nothing, ng Rou won’t live much longer.”
“I forgot to ntion earlier, to carry out such an Evil Technique requires more than just the items we’ve discussed. Utilizing such techniques always cos with a price.”
