Bloody Wedding: Fatal Favoritism - Chapter 24
He spent four years slowly dealing with his family’s vast business empire.
He established a charitable foundation in Fu Liuliu’s name, divested part of the company’s shares, and entrusted the rest to several trust funds.
On Fu Liuchuan’s thirtieth birthday, the weather was clear.
The water in the pool was warm from the sun.
A sharp blade cut through skin, and scarlet threads melted into the clear water.
He closed his eyes and sank to the bottom of the pool.
Water filled his nose and ears, the pressure vibrating against his eardrums, a sharp ringing in his head like a bursting bubble.
His consciousness grew dim, the noise of the world around him fading into the distance. A thick fog descended, enveloping him.
In the hazy mist, he seemed to travel through time, back to the wall of roses in the garden of the old house.
It was early summer in May, the pool in the yard shimmering.
This was Fu Liuliu’s eighteenth birthday party.
After giving her the necklace, he had fled, unable to face the disgust in her eyes.
But this time.
This time, Fu Liuchuan turned back, returning to the rose wall.
And there she was. Fu Liuliu was sitting there, clutching the pink diamond necklace like a dejected puppy.
“Fu Liuliu, your mouth is so stupid. You obviously want to kiss him, so why do you say such garbage?”
“Maybe I can fix it?”
“…Forget it. What if he calls me a pervert? I couldn’t handle it.”
She hesitated, pacing back and forth in front of the flowers, unable to make up her mind.
Fu Liuchuan called out, “Liuliu.”
He said, “Fu Liuliu, we were never related by blood. I’ve never thought of you as my sister.”
In her startled eyes, which held a glimmer of hope, Fu Liuchuan rushed forward, grabbing the girl’s slender waist and pulling her into his arms.
He lowered his head, getting closer and closer.
The fog grew thicker.
In the second before their lips were about to touch, the scene shattered like a phantom, disappearing into thin air.
All that remained was an endless darkness and void.
Fu Liuchuan realized with absolute clarity that he was about to die.
It was nothing more than a final hallucination before the end.
In the end, they never found each other.
