The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife

Chapter 308 - 308 Dispersed

308 Dispersed

“A few days ago, my father received a big task to escort some goods. The goods were very valuable.” Fang Tianliu couldn’t help but want to cry again, but he held it back with difficulty.

“In order to ensure that there was no mistake, my father personally led the escort team. The rest of the Fang family went out with my father for this task.

“Seven days ago, my mother received a letter from my father. The letter said that his escort mission was successful and that he would be home the day after we received the letter.

“He asked my mother to prepare something. Then, he will ask a matchmaker to go to the Li family to officially propose marriage.”

!!

Fang Tianliu’s eyes were so red that they looked like they were about to tear up again.

Zhao Zhan saw that the rise and fall of his chest were getting intense, so he got up, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.

“My mother and the matchmaker had already prepared everything two days ago. We’re just waiting for my father to get home before we set off for the Li family.

“The only thing that came was the news of my father’s death!”

The teacup in Fang Tianliu’s hand shattered.

The shard stabbed into his palm, and blood dripped down.

Zhao Zhan’s heart was heavy. He found some medicine in Doctor Sun’s room and applied it to his wound. Then, he helped him bandage it up carefully.

However, he didn’t dare to hand over the teacup again.

“I’m a stubborn person. In the past, all I could see was food. Now, I only see Li Xiangjun.

“My father is dead, and the agency is in a mess.

“I’ve never interfered in the agency’s matters. Now that I’ve to step in, I know that I’ll never be able to fill his shoes… But my mother…”

Zhao Zhan had a bad feeling and pressed down on Fang Tianliu’s shoulder, his fingers squeezing it. “Don’t forget about Xiangjun.”

“I won’t.” Fang Tianliu said as he curled up on the bed.

He looked miserable and his body was covered in mud and dirt. The jade pendant on his waist had probably fallen somewhere else when he fainted.

“Originally, after my mother took me to manage the agency, everything eventually settled. At that time, the client who entrusted us with the escort of large orders came to our door.

“He asked us for the matching cards for the successful delivery of the goods.

“My father died and only one of the people who went out with him returned. At that time, only my father and his two confidants knew the truth about the things that were escorted. The one who returned by luck knew nothing.

“The client said that the goods were not delivered and he was buried underwater with my father.

“I hate that I wasn’t home at that time to be there for my mother!

“I shouldn’t have run out the door after being slapped by my mother that day! When I got back, my mother was forced to commit suicide…”

Fang Tianliu was so devastated that clutched his hair, his expression extremely sorrowful. He roared with all his might and beat his chest continuously.

“If I were there, my mother would not have been forced to her death by those people!”

Fang Tianliu’s spirit was shaken.

Zhao Zhan’s heart felt heavy, as if a heavy boulder appeared. “You can’t keep blaming yourself here! Do you know who the client that came to your family is? If you don’t do anything, your parents won’t be able to rest in peace even in the afterlife!”

“The agency doesn’t exist anymore…” Fang Tianliu’s eyes were listless as he muttered to himself, “Everything got destroyed in one night. It’s all my fault. If I had listened to my father and learned about the affairs of the agency, if I had been at home when those people came to find me, maybe my parents wouldn’t have died. It’s all my fault!”

“Fang Tianliu!” Yue Jiaojiao, who had been sitting outside the door, entered the room and stood by the bed to look at the weeping man.

“The most important thing now is to find out what that mysterious client has asked you to escort.

“What would your father have done? Is he the type of person to write you letters? Is he the king that would ask you to prepare for the marriage even if he wasn’t done with his task?

“What did that mysterious client say to your mother? Did your family lose money and property as well?

“If not, then why did the other party force your mother to her death?

“Also, did you encounter any bandits on your way here from Huai County? If so, who hit you, and how did you become like this?”

Yue Jiaojiao’s sentences came one after another.

Fang Tianliu’s mother was really a very, very good wife.

“Tell us.” Zhao Zhan’s tone was pained, “Who hit you?”

“The servants of the Li family and the waiters of the Rising Cloud Inn.”

Zhao Zhan subconsciously turned to look at Yue Jiaojiao.

After the incident at the Lantern Festival, Fang Tianliu and Li Xiangjun’s relationship had heated up.

Although the two of them were always quarreling, they had never really been angry.

They were clearly going to talk about marriage, so why did the Li family turn around and beat Fang Tianliu up like this?

Fang Tianfeng sneered and said in a sarcastic tone, “Isn’t that ironic? The Fang family is gone, and I don’t know where to go.”

“Today, Xiangjun said that Manager Li asked her to go home. I was alone in Huai County, so I came back with her.

“But I didn’t expect that Xiangjun would change into a different person the moment she entered the Li family.”

Fang Tianfu’s face was filled with mockery.

“When I was beaten up like a dead dog by the Li family’s servants, I saw Xiangjun standing nearby.

“She didn’t care, didn’t ask, and didn’t bother with me. It was as if we had never even known each other…”

“Why…” He raised his eyes to look at Yue Jiaojiao, his eyes glistening with tears. His expression was forbearing, and his voice was extremely hoarse. “You’ve always been close to Xiangjun. Tell me, could it be that she’s always been just putting on an act with me?”

Yue Jiaojiao’s lips were pursed into a straight line.

When she saw the look of despair on Fang Tianliu’s face, she hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Did Manager Li force Xiangjun to break up with you? You and Xiangjun had been engaged for a long time. Perhaps the people in town heard about what happened at the agency, so he hurriedly called Xiangjun back to Wangshan and forced her to part with you. He must have done it even though he didn’t know the truth.”

Yue Jiaojiao had no choice but to push Manager Li out to block the attack.

After all, the other party had also taken a fancy to the Fang family’s power and influence, which was why he had agreed to the fake engagement.

...

Since the tofu incident last time, she could tell that Manager Li was not honest.

“If Xiangjun didn’t speak to you face to face, then this matter can’t be concluded. Tomorrow, I will go to town with Jiaojiao and think of a way to see if we can ask her for the reason.

“What Jiaojiao said just now is right. Other than that, we also need to find out what happened to your parents and not let their deaths be wasted.”
