Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Epilogue (Part 1)

The sound of New Year’s bells tolled once more, ushering in the 1990s.

When Lin Chuxia received another phone call from Li Guangyuan, she had just finished celebrating the Spring Festival joyfully with her family and was preparing to return to Yan City to resume work.

At this point, she felt there was nothing left to say to Li Guangyuan, even if he had memories from a past life.

Even if he, like her, had been reborn, she didn’t think there were any further entanglements with him.

The greatest fortune in this life was shaking off that scumbag and embarking on a new life.

However, one sentence from Li Guangyuan forced her to meet him once.

He said, "Do you know why you were able to come back?"

Lin Chuxia could tell from his tone that he surely knew something.

His voice even carried a hint of amusement and schadenfreude.

The matter of rebirth had always been a mystery in Lin Chuxia’s mind. If it was just her and Lin Jiayi starting over, she wouldn’t think deeply about it.

Now, with Gu Peng also having inexplicably gained memories from a past life, along with Li Guangyuan, this made Lin Chuxia even more uneasy about the reason for her rebirth.

So, after much consideration following their phone call, Lin Chuxia agreed to Li Guangyuan’s invitation.

The location Li Guangyuan arranged for their meeting was a small restaurant, and even though it wasn’t meal time, Li Guangyuan arrived there early.

Looking at the small restaurant in front of her, Lin Chuxia also understood why Li Guangyuan had chosen to meet her there.

But she had no inclination to reminisce about the past with Li Guangyuan and didn’t even sit down before speaking directly, "What exactly do you know? Tell me."

Li Guangyuan looked at Lin Chuxia and also glanced around the small restaurant.

"This little restaurant opened last year. Before that, it was a breakfast shop. Last year, I came to check it out and even had breakfast a few times here, but the food was truly awful. I thought back then that the breakfast shop would close down sooner or later, and sure enough, it did. I also talked to the landlord. I remember when we rented this place, it only cost over a hundred yuan. Nowadays, it costs more than a hundred yuan per month. Don’t you think they’re insanely greedy? But someone actually rented the place. I see the restaurant’s business now isn’t any better than our former Bun Shop..."

"Li Guangyuan," Lin Chuxia interrupted his chattering, "I didn’t come here to listen to your nonsense."

Li Guangyuan chuckled softly, "How can this be nonsense? Chuxia, have you forgotten? We started our first Bun Shop right here. Thinking back to those times, I’ve always wanted to open a Bun Shop here again..."

Lin Chuxia turned to leave, and Li Guangyuan raised his voice, "You’re in such a hurry? Don’t want to hear even the slightest bit about the past? Even if you don’t want to hear, those things really happened. If it hadn’t been for Lin Jiayi, we might still be living happily like in our past lives, no, definitely better than our past lives."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, Li Guangyuan. I told you, past life, this life, all I know is that my husband is Qin Yang. You Li Guangyuan have nothing to do with me. If you want to talk about what you mentioned on the phone, just say it directly. If not, forget it. I won’t force you."

She regretted making this trip a bit; Li Guangyuan seemed like a madman fixated on what he couldn’t have.

Li Guangyuan was not willing to let Lin Chuxia leave after finally seeing her.

"Lin Chuxia, stop pretending to be ignorant. Do you think that just because you pretend not to know, those things didn’t happen? Or do you think that you and Lin Jiayi came back together, and if you don’t say anything, no one else will know?"

Lin Chuxia’s pupils contracted suddenly; he certainly knew something.

She looked at Li Guangyuan, her expression growing colder, "Speak clearly."

Li Guangyuan sat back onto the chair, satisfied with her changed demeanor.

"Lin Chuxia, Lin Chuxia, clever all your life but confused at the critical moment. I already told you last time, Gu Peng’s connection to you wasn’t merely a simple superior-subordinate relationship, nor what you described as repaying gratitude. You always thought I betrayed you, but actually, you betrayed me first.

What did I do wrong? I worked hard to build such a big business for someone to inherit. You couldn’t have children, so I just borrowed someone else’s womb to have a child. My heart always had you in it. I even thought of raising the child with you after it was born.

But what did Gu Peng do? Right in front of me, he had the child forcibly aborted and crippled me. Lin Chuxia, when you said I was vicious, Gu Peng was a hundred times, a thousand times more vicious. When you accused me of betraying the family, didn’t you ever consider what you were willing to do for our family?"

Lin Chuxia slightly narrowed her eyes. She only knew Gu Peng had taught Li Guangyuan a lesson but never asked about the outcome.

As if anticipating her thoughts, Li Guangyuan added, "Oh, by the way, those things you probably didn’t know at first since Gu Peng never planned to let you find out. Later, even if you wanted to know, it wasn’t possible anymore because..."

He suddenly elongated his tone, looking at Lin Chuxia with a mad, evil smile, "You also died, boom... killed by a truck accident, Lin Chuxia. Being hit by a truck, didn’t feel good, right? Wasn’t it a feeling of tearing, of indescribable pain?"

Lin Chuxia recalled the scene from that day, the pain after the intense collision engulfing her entire body.

She clenched her fists tightly, her cold eyes locked onto the man across from her, "Was it you, was it you who did it?"

After her rebirth, she had also thought about that day’s events, even doubting that car accident.

That intersection was on her daily route to and from work, not a place with heavy traffic, and large trucks were rare.

Yet, that day her car broke down halfway, and when she crossed the traffic light, a truck appeared out of nowhere.

The coincidences were too numerous.

She thought that since she had been reborn, past events should be considered a dream, and let go.

Unexpectedly, those people all returned one by one.

In that case, it was time to settle some scores.

Li Guangyuan suddenly burst into laughter, "You think it was me? Lin Chuxia, Lin Chuxia, I said you’ve been clever all your life but confused at a critical moment. What good would it do me if I got rid of you? If I really wanted to get rid of you, I would have done so when I found out you couldn’t have children. I admit I was selfish; our company was so large that we’d be lost without you, you were my cash cow. Whoever I’d want to antagonize, it wouldn’t be money. Even knowing we had no heir and such a vast business needed an heir, I never thought of divorcing or getting rid of you. So why would I get rid of you when I had no ability to have children myself? To be honest, everything was done by your good assistant, the person you trusted for two lifetimes."
