He actually deserted the wedding, breaking Ozawa Nami's heart once again.

He regretted not raising Su Jiani properly until she reached adulthood.

In the living room.

Song Qiluo looked at Song Lingshan, who was sitting beside her, silently drinking her wine.

Finally unable to resist, he reached out and snatched the wine bottle from her hand, somewhat annoyed.

"Sis, tell me the truth, what do you mean by locking him up? You don't still like him, do you?"

Why should we forgive him?

He's already tainted. Hasn't my sister always been a perfectionist when it comes to relationships?

Song Lingshan paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly.

"I just can't swallow this."

To be honest, she felt she had been generous enough.

She knew she hadn't done anything to wrong Su Luo. She admitted she had been a bit domineering, but she had tried to change. Yet Su Luo still broke up with her so coldly.

She agreed.

During the time after the breakup, she missed him terribly, but she suppressed any inappropriate thoughts and refrained from inquiring about his life or disturbing him.

It was his own choice to get married in a church, and the person he was marrying was Nami Ozawa.

How could she possibly tolerate this?

Song Qiluo held her sister's hand and spoke softly.

"Give him a good beating and let him go. You're only making yourself suffer more by doing this."

"If you feel lonely, I'll move in with you. Wouldn't it be nice if we lived together like we did when we were abroad?"

Song Lingshan withdrew her hand subtly.

His lifeless eyes flashed with a hint of coldness and warning.

"Qiluo, I think you need to find a boyfriend. I can't be with you forever."

Song Qiluo withdrew her hand helplessly, her eyes filled with hurt, and said aggrievedly.

"Sister, do you hate me? Do you want to get rid of me?"

Was her request really that unreasonable?

She just didn't want her sister to be hurt by Su Luo again.

It's obvious that Su Luo no longer loves her sister, otherwise she wouldn't have so firmly chosen Ozawa Nami at the wedding.

Even though his sister had already drawn her gun, he did not choose her out of fear.

The reason she went back to Beijing with her sister was entirely to protect Ozawa Nami and Su Jiani.

Song Lingshan avoided her sister's gaze and said coldly.

"Yes, you can go now."

Oh my god!

Why is there not a single normal person around her?

Her mother committed suicide without warning, without giving her any preparation whatsoever.

My father said I should fall in love with someone else, so I did.

Her boyfriend of over six years suddenly started an affair with her stepmother and shamelessly held a wedding in a church.

Now my sister is asking herself again if she hates her.

Destroy it!

Or we might as well all die together!

Life is really meaningless, utterly boring!

Song Qiluo sniffed and smashed the wine bottle into the trash can.

"Fine, I'll leave, I'll leave, okay? I'll never get in your way again!"

He turned and walked angrily toward the door.

Song Lingshan chose to ignore her sister, letting tears well up in her eyes, her heart aching slightly.

Song Qiluo walked to the door, turned her head to look at her sister, and saw that her sister was not looking at her at all and had no intention of stopping her.

Tears welled up uncontrollably, one after another.

He twitched his nose and raised his hand to rub his eyes vigorously.

I opened the door and quickly left the room.

It was completely dark by then, with light snow falling from the pitch-black night sky and a biting wind blowing.

Song Qiluo stood in the snow but felt no cold at all; her heart had turned to ice.

She really didn't understand why her sister still loved Su Luo so deeply even though he had cheated on her.

What's so good about men anyway?

...

In the basement.

Su Luo was so hungry she was about to collapse.

My stomach hurt so badly that I started sweating profusely.

My throat is burning and sore, and it's so dry that I can't produce any saliva.

I feel so bad.

I feel so bad I want to die.

I tossed and turned in bed, trying to find a comfortable position to force myself to fall asleep.

Once I'm asleep, I won't feel hungry or thirsty, and I won't feel so uncomfortable.

The problem is, I can't sleep at all.

It would be strange if I could fall asleep when I'm feeling this bad.

Not only was he physically uncomfortable, but the pitch-black surroundings also made him feel fear.

It was eerily quiet.

It felt as if I was about to be swallowed by darkness.

With a creak.

The basement door was opened from the outside.

Su Luo turned her head to look at the source of the sound. The light from outside the door illuminated the face of the person who appeared—it was Song Lingshan.

She had already taken off the black coat she wore at the wedding during the day and was now wearing a burgundy satin nightgown. Her face was as pale as paper, and her fox-like eyes were bloodshot.

Like a vampire queen in the dark night.

Su Luo's lips moved, but no sound came out.

He didn't know what to say.

Beg her to let me out? She definitely won't agree.

He wanted her to give him food and water, but he didn't want to lower himself.

He no longer wanted to bow down to her and be humble to the dust as he had before.

He no longer loves her.

The person he loves is Nami Ozawa.

Even though she imprisoned him here, he didn't want to compromise, and he didn't want to see her smug expression.

Song Lingshan didn't speak, just stared at him coldly.

Su Luo, her eyes red, did not avoid her gaze, meeting her eyes without fear.

Song Lingshan raised her eyebrows with interest, gave a cold laugh, and finally spoke.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"..."

Su Luo pursed his lips tightly; he was not wrong.

He only got together with Ozawa Nami after breaking up with Song Lingshan.

Furthermore, he didn't know about the relationship between Ozawa Nami and Song Lingshan. If he had known, he would definitely have stayed far away from them.

So, where exactly did he go wrong?

He could actually understand Song Lingshan's feelings; he truly understood why she was angry.

But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't shoot Ozawa Nami. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't threaten him by killing Ozawa Nami to force him to go back to the capital with her.

They even locked him in this dark basement and wouldn't give him a single bite to eat.

Song Lingshan wasn't angry; she just smiled brightly.

"Fine, you're not going to say anything, huh? Then you can just wait here to die."

He said he was giving Su Luo no chance to back out.

Without any hesitation, they slammed the door shut again.

Then I returned to my study.

I sat down at my desk and turned on my computer.

Watching Su Luo's every move on the screen.

She had renovated the basement properly beforehand, so naturally it was under surveillance.

Su Luo simply didn't know that.

She wanted to see how long Su Luo could keep up her stubbornness.
