Chapter 65 The Matchmaker? (A Lament)

This is a story about a woman named Liu Ruyan who, after the original owner of the body died, sought revenge for him. In the process, she ended up sleeping with him. The original owner of the body had little role in the plot; perhaps his only function was to act as a tool to introduce Liu Ruyan and Qin Shou, and to act as a catalyst for their romance.

So it doesn't seem wrong to say that the original owner was the matchmaker.

The original owner, Qi Yuan, was the president of the Qi Group. The Qi Group ranked high in Q City, slightly stronger than the Liu Group, the family of the original owner's fiancée, Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan got engaged to the original owner as soon as she came of age. Now, the two of them are twenty-five and twenty-two years old respectively, and they have reached the age to get married. Both families are urging them to get married, so the wedding is set for a month from now.

The necessary procedures before the wedding, such as choosing a wedding dress and taking wedding photos, were happening on this day. The original owner and Liu Ruyan were looking at wedding dresses when Liu Ruyan insisted on going to the car to find something. Since Liu Ruyan was wearing a wedding dress, the original owner had no choice but to go out alone. Once she went out, she never came back alive.

The original owner's car was parked on the other side of the road. While crossing the zebra crossing, a car sped by without any sign of braking and hit the original owner, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

The driver was named Qin Shou, the heir to the Qin family in Q City. Unlike the Qi family, the Qin family had gradually come into the public eye by turning their criminal activities into legitimate ones, but they had not completely abandoned their gray-market businesses.

Therefore, after Qin Shou killed the original owner, he immediately found a scapegoat.

Liu Ruyan waited and waited at the wedding shop, but the original owner never came. She became impatient and went out to check. She saw the original owner lying in a pool of blood and was immediately terrified and fainted.

Upon waking up, Liu Ruyan learned that the original owner of the body had died. Overwhelmed with grief, she vowed to find the person who killed the original owner and avenge him.

As the investigation progressed, Liu Ruyan's investigation eventually led to Qin Shou.

Qin Shou was eighteen years old, with bright red hair. He was unrestrained and loved to try new things. After noticing that Liu Ruyan was investigating the original owner's car accident, he took the initiative to provide clues and appeared in front of Liu Ruyan.

At first, Liu Ruyan tried every means to cause trouble for Qin Shou, but later, for some reason, she gradually fell in love with this fiery boy. After the torment of their love, they achieved a happy ending.

The original owner had always followed Qin Shou, the murderer, watching Liu Ruyan gradually fall in love with him under the guise of avenging him. In the original owner's eyes, Liu Ruyan's actions were not like seeking revenge, but rather like repaying a debt of gratitude. He didn't care who Liu Ruyan fell in love with, since he was already dead and didn't need Liu Ruyan to stay with him for the rest of her life.

But if Liu Ruyan falls in love with Qin Shou, that would be a bit disgusting for the original owner of this body.

"I want to see if Liu Ruyan would still fall in love with Qin Shou if Qin Shou had killed Liu Ruyan's father instead."

Brilliant! Brilliant! Qi Yuan loves this kind of mission. Without saying a word, he accepted the mission and entered the small world.

He loves causing trouble!

"Uncle, hello. Yes, yes, it's tomorrow... You're coming too? Okay..." Qi Yuan sent several articles like "My daughter's first time wearing a wedding dress, I must let her..." and "The perfect father when his daughter wears a wedding dress..." to Liu's father's phone.

Sure enough, Liu's father, a doting father, wouldn't miss this opportunity to show off his fatherly love. He called Qi Yuan to tell him that he would come with Liu Ruyan the next day, so Qi Yuan wouldn't need to make a trip to pick her up.

Qi Yuan had absolutely no psychological barriers to harming Liu's father.

The original owner was an only child, and Liu Ruyan had a younger brother who was five years younger than her. After the original owner died in the previous life, his parents were heartbroken and eventually gave his shares to Liu Ruyan. In order to get her father to agree to her relationship with Qin Shou, Liu Ruyan used the original owner's shares as a bargaining chip.

In the end, the original owner's shares fell into the hands of Liu's father.

The original owner's parents lost their passion for life and gradually lost their energy after losing their son in middle age. They also became less concerned about the company. Gradually, Liu's father took over the Qi family business, and not long after, the original owner's parents passed away one after another.

Therefore, Qi Yuan has no reason not to take action against someone like Liu's father who harbors malicious intentions. Now, all that's left is for Qi Yuan to give him another push tomorrow.

The next day, Qi Yuan arrived at the wedding dress shop early. Just in case, Qi Yuan hired people to occupy all the parking spaces in the surrounding area. Others pay ten yuan for parking for an hour, but Qi Yuan pays one hundred yuan for an hour of parking.

Upon hearing this good news, the parking spaces behind the wedding dress shop were all occupied in no time, leaving only the parking spaces across the street.

As for Qi Yuan, since he didn't need to pick up Liu Ruyan, he didn't drive at all. Instead, he had his driver take him. As soon as he got out of the car, the driver drove away, just in case.

In order to survive and avoid being killed off by the plot, Qi Yuan had made full preparations.

The agreed time was nine o'clock, and it was already 9:15, but the Liu family father and daughter had not arrived yet. Qi Yuan was not in a hurry and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the traffic outside.

At 9:27, a familiar car drove by, and as expected, the driver was Liu's father.

To ensure that Liu's father would be driving today, Qi Yuan went to great lengths to transfer three of the Liu family's drivers. Two of them had been reported by Qi Yuan for going to a nightclub the previous night and were still in jail. The third driver, being an upright person with no bad habits, was given a lottery ticket that had won a million dollars by Qi Yuan.

The driver originally didn't want to work for the Liu family anymore, but when he suddenly found out he had won a million, he immediately called Liu's father and quit his job.

This has resulted in the Liu family not having a single driver on duty today.

Qi Yuan watched as the Liu family's car drove by, and saw Liu's father's face growing increasingly dark before finally stopping in the parking space across the street. As soon as she got out, Qi Yuan saw Liu Ruyan pouting behind her father, her lips seemingly saying, "See? I told you to park there, but you wouldn't listen. You circled around twice and still ended up parking there anyway. Isn't this a complete waste of time?"

Liu Ruyan had been spoiled since childhood and had no idea that she should be careful about her words in public, nor did she care about her father's increasingly dark expression.

Qi Yuan was afraid that Liu Ruyan's sharp tongue would anger Liu's father again, so she quickly came out of the wedding dress shop to greet him, but she didn't use the crosswalk.

Liu's father walked ahead, with Liu Ruyan following slowly behind. Just then, a red sports car appeared in Qi Yuan's line of sight and headed straight for Liu's father. The next moment, a crash was heard, and Liu's father was thrown dozens of meters away.

Qi Yuan didn't cross the road, but saw Liu Ruyan standing there behind Liu's father, frozen in place, her face pale with fright, and she didn't even react.

"Uncle Liu!" Qi Yuan shouted as he watched Qin Shou drive away, leaving not even a trace of exhaust fumes, and headed towards where Uncle Liu was.

That's right, it's walking. You want Qi Yuan to run across the road? In your next life! There's no next life without a road hazard like Qin Shou.

Qi Yuan walked over slowly, his face filled with anxiety and worry, and his voice trembled slightly. Anyone who saw him would think that Qi Yuan was genuinely worried about Liu's father. However, Liu Ruyan was still standing there in a daze, watching the red sports car drive away.

"Miss Liu! Miss Liu!" After calling the police, Qi Yuan stood in front of Liu Ruyan and called her several times before he could barely bring her back to her senses.

"Waaaaah~ Dad! My dad, he, he..." Liu Ruyan burst into tears and tried to throw herself into Qi Yuan's arms, but Qi Yuan dodged her. At this moment, Liu Ruyan, who was heartbroken, did not notice this. She tightly gripped Qi Yuan's clothes with both hands and asked anxiously.

Qi Yuan: I should have worn the studded leather jacket today. Let's see how she tries to grab it. I'll have her hand full of studs, and it'll hurt her to death!

“Miss Liu, I’m not a doctor, so I don’t know how Uncle Liu is, but I’ve already called the police and an ambulance…” Qi Yuan finished speaking and took a step back. Liu Ruyan released her grip on Qi Yuan’s clothes and went straight to her father’s location. She could vaguely hear Qi Yuan say, “Hey, there’s an old saying: ‘If your shoe falls off, you’re doomed.’ I wonder what happened to Uncle Liu… sigh…”

Liu Ruyan subconsciously glanced at her father's feet and, sure enough, saw no shoes. A chill ran down her spine.

My younger brother is still young, and I'm not cut out to inherit the family business. If my father is gone, what will become of the Liu family?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's tears flowed even more fiercely, much more genuinely than before.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and after a thorough examination, they immediately covered Liu's father with a white sheet.

"No! Impossible! My dad can still be saved, he really can be saved! Please save him! I beg you!" At this moment, Liu Ruyan no longer cared about her ladylike demeanor and grabbed the doctor in the white coat, starting to wail.

"Please accept my condolences, madam." The doctor, accustomed to such scenes, showed no reaction, gently brushed Liu Ruyan's hand aside, and lifted Liu's father into the ambulance.

The traffic police stayed behind to investigate the scene and gather information, and Qi Yuan was questioned at the scene.

"It all happened so fast. I just saw a red sports car hit Uncle Liu and drive away. As for what the driver looked like, I really didn't see it. As for the license plate? To be honest, the car was going too fast, and I have astigmatism. I wasn't wearing my glasses today, so I really didn't see it clearly." The original owner did have astigmatism, and Qi Yuan wasn't lying about that.

As for the rest, well, not a single word of their prayers was true.

If Qin Shou isn't allowed to escape legal punishment, how can we know if Liu Ruyan will fall in love with the murderer of her father? The matchmaker is going all the way, so Qi Yuan is just blatantly lying.

After Liu's father died, the Liu family became lambs to the slaughter. In order to prevent the Liu family from being devoured, Liu's mother suggested that Liu Ruyan marry Qi Yuan as soon as possible.

"Qi Yuan, my mom says we should get married soon." Liu Ruyan, looking haggard, appeared in front of Qi Yuan dressed in all white and said this as soon as she sat down.

"???" Listen to this, your father just died and you're already in a rush to get married? Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable?

“Miss Liu, your father hasn’t passed the seventh day after his death yet. This… this might clash with the wedding and funeral, right? Besides, isn’t it said that when an elder passes away, the younger generation needs to observe three years of mourning? Moreover, Uncle Liu just passed away, this…” Qi Yuan spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for every customer in the quiet coffee shop to hear clearly.

All eyes were on Liu Ruyan. Normally, Liu Ruyan enjoyed being the center of attention, but now those gazes felt like knives, cutting into her skin inch by inch.

"Don't talk nonsense, I, I..." Liu Ruyan stammered, unable to speak. How could she say that the Liu family was in dire straits and needed a marriage alliance with Qi Yuan to secure its position? The high and mighty Liu Ruyan could never utter such words.

“Miss Liu, I’m not lying. I saw with my own eyes that Uncle Liu was hit by a car and thrown dozens of meters away that day… By the way, Miss Liu, has the murderer who killed Uncle Liu been found?”

Throughout the entire conversation, Liu Ruyan did not notice that Qi Yuan consistently addressed her as Miss Liu. When Qi Yuan mentioned the scene from that time, Liu Ruyan's face turned deathly pale, but she still answered Qi Yuan's question.

"We found him, but I don't think it's him. He might have been convicted on behalf of someone else."

Qi Yuan rolled her eyes. "No, sister, why do you have to blurt everything out? Can't you keep your own guesses to yourself? Why do you have to tell me?" Fine, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it.

“Miss Liu, please forgive my bluntness, but given your current situation, I really can’t marry you so soon. What kind of person would I be? Besides, you know that the biggest taboo in business is that weddings and funerals coincide. If something happens to the Qi family because of my marriage to you, I will become a sinner to the Qi family…” Qi Yuan said, then changed the subject, “If Miss Liu finds a suitable marriage partner, I am not unable to cancel the engagement.”
