Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 492 It Has Nothing to Do with You
"It has nothing to do with you?" Zhao Xiyue's eyes were filled with anger. She raised her hand and slapped Su Jiujiu hard in the face.
“Pah.”
Su Jiujiu was hit so hard that her head tilted to the side, and blood immediately oozed from the corner of her mouth.
"This slap is for Nian Nian." Zhao Xiyue gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on her hair. "You made her suffer like this at such a young age."
She slapped him again with her backhand.
“Pah.”
"This slap is for Ji Wan. You are a despicable mistress. You destroyed her family and wanted to take away everything from her."
Su Jiujiu was stunned by the beating and cried out, "Let me go..."
"Shut up." Zhao Xiyue didn't give her a chance to explain and kicked her in the lower abdomen.
"Ouch." Su Jiujiu arched her body in pain, like a cooked shrimp.
"I kicked myself this time." Zhao Xiyue gasped, her chest heaving violently with anger. "I must have been blind to believe your lies. I let the wolf in and harmed everyone."
She was like a madman, punching and kicking Su Jiujiu who was curled up on the ground. Every punch and kick was filled with all her anger, regret and despair.
"Why are you the one who can save Nian Nian? Why does God torture us like this? People like you deserve to go to hell and be cut into pieces."
"Save Nian Nian, go save her. As long as you are willing to save Nian Nian, I will give you whatever you want. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for donating your bone marrow?"
In the basement, the only sounds left were Zhao Xiyue's crazy roar and Su Jiujiu's suppressed groans and sobs of pain.
Zhao Xiyue vented until she was exhausted and then stopped panting.
She looked at Su Jiujiu, who was dying on the ground and almost unrecognizable. There was no pity in her eyes, only a cold emptiness.
Su Jiujiu struggled to open her swollen eyes, her voice as weak as a mosquito: "Zhao Xiyue, it's useless even if you kill me, unless..."
Zhao Xiyue leaned over and grabbed her neck, her eyes fierce: "Unless what? Tell me."
Su Jiujiu gasped for breath, a strange smile on her face: "Unless Ji Wan kneels down and begs me..."
Zhao Xiyue's grip on Su Jiujiu's neck suddenly tightened, her knuckles turning white from the force, and a frightening glint flashed in her eyes: "What did you say? Ji Wan, kneel down and beg you?"
Su Jiujiu's cheeks flushed red from being pinched, and she could barely breathe. However, the strange smile on her lips grew wider and wider. She squeezed out a few words from her throat: "That's right, if she kneels down and begs me, I'll donate my bone marrow to save Nian Nian..."
"You're dreaming." Zhao Xiyue roared, wishing she could strangle this vicious woman to death on the spot.
But when she thought of Nian Nian dying on the hospital bed, all her ruthlessness turned into a bone-chilling powerlessness.
Nian Nian needs bone marrow, and Su Jiujiu is her only hope.
"Zhao Xiyue...you...think it over carefully..." Su Jiujiu spoke with difficulty, but her eyes were full of the pride of victory. "Nian Nian can't wait much longer."
Zhao Xiyue suddenly let go of her hand, and Su Jiujiu collapsed on the ground, coughing violently and breathing the air greedily.
Zhao Xiyue looked at her, with extremely complex emotions surging in her eyes, including overwhelming hatred, unwilling humiliation, and a hint of madness after being forced into a desperate situation.
Ji Wan, let her go and ask Su Jiujiu for help?
Once this thought came up, it tightly wrapped around Zhao Xiyue's heart like a vine.
She understood Ji Wan's pride, and even more so, his hatred for Su Jiujiu. Getting Ji Wan to bow to Su Jiujiu would be harder than killing her.
But, for Nian Nian...
Su Jiujiu laughed hoarsely, her voice nauseating: "How about it? Zhao Xiyue, this is the only way, make her kneel in front of me and beg me like a dog..."
Zhao Xiyue's eyes flickered, and a dark thought gradually formed in her mind. She slowly stood up straight, looked down at Su Jiujiu, and said in a cold voice without a trace of warmth: "Okay, I'll go tell her."
The smile on Su Jiujiu's face froze, and she seemed a little surprised that Zhao Xiyue "compromised" so quickly.
Zhao Xiyue didn't even look at her again, and turned to leave the suffocating basement. Every step she took was based on her dignity and regret.
The atmosphere in the cafe was depressing.
Ji Wan looked at Zhao Xiyue, who was sitting opposite her, with a distant and cold look in her eyes. Ever since she knew that it was Zhao Xiyue who sent Chi Wenyan to Su Jiujiu's bed, she had only felt disappointment and disgust towards this former friend.
"You asked me out just to let me watch you perform a sad drama?" Ji Wan's voice was calm. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. His posture was elegant, but revealed a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.
Zhao Xiyue's face was pale and her lips trembled slightly.
She took a deep breath, slid down from her seat, and knelt down in front of Ji Wan with a plop.
"Ji Wan."
Ji Wan shook the coffee cup in her hand, and a few drops of brown liquid splashed onto the back of her white hand, but she didn't move at all, just lowered her eyes coldly and looked at Zhao Xiyue who was kneeling on the ground.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to make me forgive you by forcing you to do something cruel?"
"No. No." Zhao Xiyue took two steps on her knees and reached out to pull the corner of Ji Wan's clothes, but Ji Wan avoided her with disgust.
"Ji Wan, I know I was wrong. I'm a bastard. I'm sorry for you and Nian Nian." Zhao Xiyue cried, her face covered with tears and snot. "But now is not the time to talk about this. Nian Nian, Nian Nian is dying. That bitch Su Jiujiu is willing to donate her bone marrow."
Ji Wan's pupils suddenly shrank, and the fingers holding the coffee cup tightened unconsciously: "Are you serious?"
"It's true. Absolutely true." Zhao Xiyue nodded eagerly, "But she has one condition..."
Ji Wan had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Zhao Xiyue raised her head and looked at Ji Wan with tearful eyes. Her voice was filled with pleading and a subtle calculation: "She wants you... wants you to kneel down and beg her..."
"What?" Ji Wan almost thought she had misheard. She stood up suddenly, and because of her excessive movement, the chair scraped against the ground with a harsh sound. "Zhao Xiyue, say it again."
"She said that if you kneel down and beg her, she will immediately donate bone marrow to Nian Nian." Zhao Xiyue cried even louder, "Ji Wan, I know this request is too much, and I know it makes you feel wronged. But Nian Nian can't wait, please, for Nian Nian, you..."
"Absolutely not." Ji Wan interrupted her harshly, her chest heaving violently, her anger almost igniting her, "You want me to kneel before Su Jiujiu? Zhao Xiyue, are you crazy or just stupid? Do you think I will bow down to that vicious woman who harmed us all just to save Nian Nian? Don't even think about it."
She would never give in to Su Jiujiu. Never.
