After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: You’re Not Actually Human, Right?

Upon hearing Chen Shu’s words, Lu Sheng couldn’t quite discern, in that moment, whether he was stating facts, or, just like before, speaking elaborate lies with a poker face.

Chen Shu probably saw her skepticism from the look on her face.

"This time, I’m not lying to you anymore." Chen Shu looked up and said.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and replied, "...Go on."

Chen Shu lowered those light green eyes, his long eyelashes trembling with his words, seemingly lost in distant memories.

"I did not expect that night, Christine would happen to come to the master bedroom, nor did I expect her to see all that through those means."

"My mother’s affair, our real identities, the death of my parents... All these filthy, bloody twisted things, I never intended to let her know."

"So when I heard a noise outside the door, and saw Christine once I opened it, seeing her panic-stricken, full of fear trying to escape, I had to ask her what she had seen."

"I wasn’t sure if she saw the argument between my father and mother, wasn’t sure if she knew the truth, wasn’t sure if she heard the conversation between me and my father."

"But luckily, she only saw the moment I slit my father’s throat."

"My sister thought I had gone mad, having personally killed our mother and father," Chen Shu looked up calmly, "...and that’s good."

"At least in Christine’s heart, our mother is still unwaveringly faithful to our father, he still treasures us like jewels, and she remains a true noble born of pure lineage."

"All those filthy and ugly truths will be forever buried with these people’s deaths. As long as I don’t tell, Christine will never know."

"Being stained with blood and carrying sins, it’s enough having just me," Chen Shu’s eyes were as deep as the night, "My sister will remain forever pure and flawless."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng’s gaze couldn’t help but tremble.

She had never thought that what Juanjuan had witnessed, hid such a truth behind it.

"If that’s the case, why did you imprison Juanjuan later?" asked Lu Sheng.

Chen Shu spoke calmly: "Christine has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, but deep down, she’s actually stubborn and strong-willed."

"She saw with her own eyes me killing our father, and our mother lying in a pool of blood, so she firmly believed that I killed them and couldn’t forgive me."

"Christine had asked me why I did it, trying to understand my actions, and indeed I couldn’t provide her a rational explanation. To make her understand me, the only way was to tell her the truth."

"So Christine was in great pain, on one hand, I am her brother, the only relative she has in this world, she feared losing me; on the other hand, she thought I was a demon, she wanted to seek help from the police or the Royal family, to bring justice to our father and mother."

"I needed time to deal with our parents’ deaths, so I had no choice but to keep Christine locked in a room. If she had caused a scene at that time, the truth could be exposed at any moment."

"But even though I locked her in the room, she still tried to escape in various ways, so later I had to keep her in the Confinement Room," Chen Shu looked up, "As for why I locked her hands and feet with chains, it was because she had tried to threaten me by self-harming."

"Later on, the maid who had looked after her since she was young helped Christine escape during a storm. That maid was extremely loyal to Christine and tight-lipped, refusing to tell me where Christine had gone, so I have been trying to find her whereabouts ever since."

Hearing Chen Shu say this, Lu Sheng suddenly remembered last night after Juanjuan had taken a bath and came out wearing her nightgown.

She indeed noticed scars on Juanjuan’s wrists.
