My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 697 697: Chen Xuan Steps In to Stop It

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes always fixed on Widow Liu.

If she insisted on offering the incense at Dragon Ridge, he definitely wouldn't ignore it; he would find a way to stop her.

At this moment, Widow Liu had already reached the front and was standing at the edge of Dragon Ridge.

All the villagers were watching her, and many warm-hearted villagers came to persuade her.

"Sister, why do you bother taking this path?"

"In the past, most of the older generation were feudalistic and superstitious, believing that the Dragon King was real. Now it's a new society, don't believe in this stuff anymore."

"Yes, sister, you're still young; don't be so irrational. Out of ten people, nine fall down, and they wouldn't survive!"

Facing the persuasion of the crowd, Widow Liu still looked lifeless, "Fellow villagers, my husband Li Ke died with an injustice, and I can't redress that injustice for him, so I have no choice but to take this path."

"If I succeed, please testify for me that my husband did not hit anyone with his car! If I fail, even if I become a vengeful spirit, I will account for it!"

After she finished speaking, Widow Liu resolutely stepped onto Dragon Ridge.

The watching villagers did not step forward to stop her; they could only try to persuade her kindly.

After all, this was Widow Liu's personal matter, and it was not appropriate for them to interfere too much.

Everything was Widow Liu's own choice.

Just then, Chen Xuan rushed over and grabbed Widow Liu.

Everyone looked toward Chen Xuan; no one expected someone to stop Widow Liu.

Even Widow Liu herself didn't expect it, and she turned her head, frowned tightly, "What are you doing? Please let go!"

Chen Xuan spoke softly, "Sister Liu, I'm an outsider and don't understand the local customs."

"But what you're doing is pointless, and it might cost you your life for nothing."

"Do you think it's worth it?"

Widow Liu knew Chen Xuan meant no harm; his stopping her from offering incense was out of goodwill.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she sobbed, "This is my fate; I have no choice!"

"Kind-hearted people, please let go; I've chosen this path, and no one can stop me!"

Saying this, Widow Liu looked forward at the Dragon Ridge a dozen meters away, "I also want the heavens to open their eyes and see why good people born poor don't get good returns."

"Those rich and influential big bosses can do as they please, reversing right and wrong! If the heavens have eyes, they should uphold justice for me and clear my husband's name!"

Subsequently, breaking free from Chen Xuan's arm, Widow Liu once again stepped onto Dragon Ridge.

Chen Xuan immediately pulled her back once more, gently shaking his head at Widow Liu, "Sister Liu, where in this world are the heavens? Fate is in one's own hands."

"Praying to gods and Buddhas is not as good as relying on oneself! I can help you with this! If you trust me, give up this unrealistic idea, and I will seek justice for your deceased husband!"

Widow Liu stared blankly at him, "Can you really help me? But you're just an outsider, how can you help me?"

Yang Leshan hurriedly stepped forward to help persuade, "Sister Liu, please believe in Chen Xuan, he will definitely help you get justice."

Xiao Yiyi also hurriedly added, "Sister Liu, Chen Xuan never boasts; if he says it, he can do it."

Chen Xuan slightly nodded at Widow Liu, his eyes especially firm, conveying a resolute belief.

Widow Liu was deeply moved; if someone was willing to help her, she didn't want to take this path.

It was a forced choice!

In an instant, Widow Liu gave up the idea of offering incense at Dragon Ridge and directly knelt, "Kind-hearted people, if you really can clear my husband's injustice, I will bow to you."

"Sister Liu, please get up, there's no need for such a gesture." Chen Xuan hurriedly helped Widow Liu up, "Let's go back first; tell me the specifics, and we'll plan carefully."

"Alright." Widow Liu nodded with tears.

Everyone watched as Widow Liu followed Chen Xuan and the others away, all sighed helplessly.

On one hand, they felt grateful for Chen Xuan and others, willing to help Widow Liu even though they were strangers.

But on the other hand, they felt Chen Xuan was overestimating himself; how could an outsider contend with the local affluent bosses?

It was simply unrealistic!

No one was optimistic about Chen Xuan.

Nevertheless, all the villagers were secretly following this matter, wondering if Chen Xuan was just talking or could really achieve it...
