Chapter 220

Ouyang raised his wrist to check his watch, frowning, thinking to himself that he couldn't keep delaying like this.

He took a deep breath, looked straight at Qiao Xin, and said in a cold tone: "Qiao Xin, what's the point of doing this? You are threatening me with your own life, trying to force me to be with you!"

Ouyang really couldn't understand why she was so stubborn and refused to listen.

"As long as I can make you stay for me, even for a moment, I think everything is worth it."

"If you insist on not doing so, then even if I leave now, I believe you will always remember my existence." Qiao Xin smiled sadly, and that smile was like a withered flower in late autumn, which made people feel pity.

Before she finished her words, she exerted a little force with her hand, and the blade that was originally across her wrist was pressed a little further inward. In an instant, a trace of scarlet blood slowly seeped out.

When Ouyang saw this, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his head, and he almost exploded with anger.

If today wasn't his wedding day with Ling'er, he probably wouldn't even look at Qiao Xin.

"Qiao Xin, you don't even know how to cherish yourself, do you still expect me to fall in love with you and like you?" Ouyang felt nothing but disgust towards her self-destructive behavior.

"Do you really want to hurt yourself for someone like me who has no affection for you?"

"Have you never considered the feelings of those who truly care about you? For example, your parents and relatives." Ouyang scolded her angrily, while secretly praying that she could regain her sanity as soon as possible and put down the extremely sharp knife in her hand.

"The knife in your hand was given to you by me specifically for self-protection! It was definitely not meant for you to use to hurt yourself, so put it down!" Ouyang looked at her anxiously and shouted.

Hearing this, the woman's lips trembled slightly, and she slowly said: "Of course I know, and I have always kept it in mind."

"It's just that when you gave me this gift, I thought you liked the kind of girl who was independent, strong and brave."

"So, from then on, I worked hard to change myself and learned how to use this knife to protect myself..."

At this point, her voice gradually deepened, as if filled with endless sadness and helplessness: "But later, I slowly discovered that this was not the case."

"It turns out that for the person you truly love, Zhou Ling'er, you simply couldn't bear to let her pick up any knife to protect herself."

"Because in your heart, she is the little princess who needs to be carefully protected by you. Even if it's just a small knife, you will worry that it will accidentally hurt her delicate hands."

Qiao Xin tightly grasped the knife in her hand and stared straight at Ouyang, but deep in her heart she was filled with envy and bitterness.

Once upon a time, she longed to be someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Ouyang, and put in countless efforts and sweat for this.

But in the end, she realized that no matter how hard she struggled, she could not replace Zhou Ling'er's position in Ouyang's heart.

Ouyang stood there blankly, listening to Qiao Xin's words, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

He never thought that a gift he gave with good intentions would become a tool for the other party to threaten him.

After hearing this, Qiao Xin slowly lowered her head and her eyes fell on the knife on her wrist that was flashing with cold light.

At this moment, her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, because she had reached a dead end and there was no room for retreat.

"I really never thought of interfering in the relationship between you and Zhou Ling'er!"

Qiao Xin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with tearful eyes. Her voice was trembling and pleading: "I am willing to wait, even if it takes a long, long time, as long as I can wait until the day she leaves you, then I can be with you legitimately."

"Is it possible that even this little wish cannot be fulfilled?"

However, facing Qiao Xin's humble request, Ouyang remained unmoved. His eyes were cold and resolute, as if the heartbroken woman in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"I've said it before, there's no way I'll like you, no matter if Zhou Ling'er is still alive or not."

"If I hadn't promised Ling'er to help take care of her parents and my grandfather, I can tell you frankly that I would rather die with her!"

"So, don't even think about using suicide to force me to compromise. That's just wishful thinking!" Ouyang said mercilessly, without a trace of pity or hesitation in his tone.

Qiao Xin's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and tears burst out like a dam breaking.

She could never have imagined that the man she loved so deeply would say such cruel words.

At this moment, Ouyang seemed to have lost his last patience. He glanced coldly at the knife in Qiao Xin's hand and said, "Since you are determined to die, then I will grant your wish."

"But before that, I have more important things to do. I don't have time to waste here."

As he said that, he turned to look at Bai Shuang who was standing beside him, and then ordered: "Bai Shuang, please excuse me for a moment. Are you free now? Turn on your phone and record a video of Qiao Xin to record her 'heroic' moment."

"If Qiao Xin has any last words, let her say them as soon as possible! Even if she really cut her wrists to commit suicide, we have video evidence here."

"When the time comes, we can directly send the relevant materials to the public security organs for processing, but please do not let this matter disrupt my wedding."

"I have been planning this wedding for nearly ten years. I really don't want anyone or anything to ruin it, and I can't let it delay the entire wedding schedule." Ouyang turned his head and looked at Bai Shuang expressionlessly.

After hearing these words, Bai Shuang was stunned for a moment, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

She simply couldn't believe that these cold-blooded and extremely decisive words came from the mouth of Ouyang, who was always gentle and kind.

Is this still the Ouyang who once cared and loved everyone?

At this moment, Qiao Yu suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried to Ouyang with a pleading look on his face: "Brother Ouyang, my sister is definitely not joking with you this time! She might really do something extreme like committing suicide."

"And in fact, she had already attempted suicide once before!"

"Please, even if it's just for the time being, can you just pretend to agree to her request? As long as I can calm her down, I will take her home right away, and then help her find a professional psychologist for treatment and counseling right away."

"I promise you, something like this will never happen again!" Qiao Yu knew very well that all this was the result of his sister's own fault.

But how could he really just watch his only sister meet with misfortune?

"Will this really be helpful? Since she has already attempted suicide, it means that you must have tried to persuade and comfort her, but the result is obvious. It is of no use at all!"

"If I choose to give in and compromise this time, there will definitely be a next time, and a next time... If this continues, she will only develop a wrong perception that she can pose a threat to me by committing suicide, but I am not willing to indulge her like this!"

Ouyang stared straight at Qiao Xin and spoke sharply.

At the same time, Ouyang Jin, who was standing not far behind Qiao Xin, was approaching Qiao Xin quietly and slowly.

After hearing Ouyang's cold and heartless words, Qiao Xin felt disheartened. With all her thoughts gone, she raised the sharp blade in her hand without hesitation and cut her slender white wrist fiercely.

It happened in a flash. Seeing this, Ouyang Jin quickly quickened his pace and rushed forward. In just two steps, he was behind Qiao Xin and grabbed Qiao Xin's knife-holding arm with lightning speed.

However, Qiao Xin, who was in an extremely crazy state, struggled and resisted desperately. In the chaos, the blade in her hand accidentally scratched Ouyang Jin's cheek, and a hideous blood mark appeared in an instant. Even the glasses on his face were knocked off to the ground by the impact.

The sudden change left everyone present dumbfounded, and Xia Ruoan and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stood there in a daze.

Mu Shen was quick-eyed and quick-handed. When Qiao Xin was about to swing the knife at Ouyang Jin's eyes again, he quickly grabbed Qiao Xin's wrist firmly, then twisted it violently.

Qiao Xin only let out a scream, and because of the unbearable pain, she loosened her hand that was tightly gripping the blade, and the knife, which was shining with a cold light, fell to the ground with a clang.

At the same time, Qiao Xin felt as if her entire arm had lost sensation, and it was so limp that she couldn't exert any strength at all.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Ouyang Jin slowly loosened the hands that were restraining Qiao Xin.

Qiao Xin collapsed to the ground powerlessly like a deflated ball.

Ouyang Jin wiped the blood that kept oozing from his face expressionlessly, staring coldly at the disheveled Qiao Xin in front of him, and a hint of mockery rose in his heart.

"You should feel lucky that you are not my biological sister, otherwise, I would break her legs without hesitation!" Ouyang Jin slowly squatted down, staring at the woman in front of him with sharp eyes, and spoke in a cold tone.

Xia Ruoan was originally worried about whether Ouyang Jin had left, so she ran over in a hurry.

However, when she heard these words, her body trembled violently and her legs involuntarily became weak.

If Leng Zexi had not been quick to reach out and support her in time, she would have fallen to the ground in a mess.
