Almighty Sweet Queen is Really Rich!

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: It Has Nothing to Do With Me

Su Li and the two others stepped forward just in time to hear this sentence.

The fire disaster?

Wearing a black mask with only his eyes showing, Li An abruptly raised his head to look at Shen Shuang, his eyes instantly reddening.

His hand clenched into a fist, his entire body tense, he shouted in shock and anger, ”It has nothing to do with you?”

”It had nothing to do with me in the first place. Was it me who forced you to save people?” Shen Shuang immediately retorted sharply.

”That fire was caused by your carelessness with electricity at home, leading to a massive fire. I willingly saved you and your mom, but why did you deceive me? Why did you deceive me that my parents had gone out!” Li An suddenly shouted, heartbroken.

Tears overflowed from beneath the mask.

He had known Shen Shuang since they were children and could be considered childhood friends. He always found it odd that Shen Shuang’s dad didn’t live with them.

So he always took extra care of her. Even though they didn’t attend the same school, their relationship was always very good.

Last year, a fire broke out suddenly. His first instinct after school was to save his parents who were still home, and his mother was pregnant with a baby, due in three months—a little sister he had been eagerly anticipating.

He covered his nose and mouth and rushed in, clouds of smoke swirling, his vision blurred, while Shen Shuang and her mother grabbed him, pleading for him to save them.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save them, but in such a life and death moment... his first instinct was to save his parents.

He later found out... In the thick smoke, just less than ten meters from where Shen Shuang and her mother were, lay his parents.

They couldn’t speak, their minds foggy, only vaguely aware their son had come to save them, filled with a mix of despair and sudden joy, which turned to despair again when they realized their son saved the mother and daughter from next door...

Li An roared angrily, ”Do you know that when they found my parents’ bodies, they were already burned beyond recognition? And that my sister, who was only three months from being born, died in my mom’s womb?”

Shen Shuang was so embarrassed by Li An’s shouting that she hung her head in silence.

They had gone to visit Li An’s parents next door, her mother wanted Mr. Li to help with something. Mr. Li outright refused. Then, in another instant, her carelessness with electricity caused a fire, engulfing the entire house in flames in the blink of an eye.

Survival... Isn’t survival a human instinct?

She wanted to live, was that so wrong?

If she hadn’t lied, Li An would definitely have saved his parents...otherwise, it would be their mother and daughter who died.

In their confusion, they saw Li An rushing upstairs, and to survive, she told a small lie. She said that in the house, it was only their mother and daughter, and his parents had gone out to buy groceries to make delicious food for them and weren’t in the fire.

So, they lived.

Li An’s parents, including the unborn child, all perished in the fire, and it’s said that Li An was burned beyond recognition while saving them...

It was also because of this fire that Mr. Xu took pity on them and brought their mother and daughter back completely.

Chu Canyang stood to the side, staring fiercely at Shen Shuang, said, ”Weren’t you supposed to have won a seventy million jackpot? Aren’t you going to compensate?”

Compensation?

Shen Shuang appeared slightly awkward, as she had struggled hard to win that money...

Upon hearing Chu Canyang’s words, many in the bar looked at Shen Shuang with greedy eyes. This chick won that much money?

Shen Shuang watched as Chu Canyang’s companion firmly blocked her, with Su Lixu, Haohao and Lu Xiaomian watching from the side.

Even though Shen Shuang was a tall girl of about 1.73 meters, much taller than the average girl, she couldn’t break through.

Growing increasingly anxious, Shen Shuang suddenly reached out to Li An, and taking advantage of an unguarded moment, yanked off the black mask on Li An’s face.

In an instant, a face beyond recognition was exposed in front of everyone...
