Chapter 408 What Kind of Revenge is Revenge (Part 1)
Just as Bai Qiujing said, Guan Xunian's place is very close and only takes ten minutes to drive there.
Bai Qiujing has a lot of properties in Chengdu. Although no one lives in them, they are still renovated and can be transferred to anyone who wants to buy them at any time.
However, he has no plans to sell it at the moment. Chengdu is developing well and is one of the fastest-growing cities in China this year, almost catching up with Haidu.
When Bai Qiujing first bought the house, it was only 30,000 yuan per square meter, and now it is almost 50,000 yuan. It is never too much to have more houses, and real estate can appreciate in value no matter where it is kept.
Chen Zhichu wore the Nianniandu cat tag on her hand with a red string. Whenever her mind was empty and she had nothing to do, she would stare at the cat tag.
Xu Nian, Xu Nian, Xu Nian.
Shen Zhichu silently recited these words, gritting his teeth and filled with hatred.
Did Xu Nian know she was wrong? When she handed Nian Nian over to Zheng Xiuxiu, did she ever think that Nian Nian would die tragically?
Even if she knew the fate of Nian Nian in advance, she would still hand Nian Nian over, because in her eyes, only her mother was the most important, and Nian Nian was just a cat she had taken care of for a month or two. What's more, this cat was not hers and was just an insignificant thing, incomparable to her relatives.
When Shen Zhichu died in his previous life, he made a wish to the gods to be a ruthless person in his next life.
But who can be heartless except plants and trees?
Suddenly, her hand felt warm. Shen Zhichu looked at the hand on the back of her hand, and turned her head along her arm to look at Bai Qiujing who was driving seriously with one hand holding the steering wheel.
He was comforting her in his own way. Shen Zhichu's heart trembled twice, and it felt like the dead deer in his heart came back to life.
"Drive well."
Bai Qiujing's hands obviously stiffened for a moment, his ears turned red, and after a while he murmured "hmm" and loosened his hands.
There was no expression on Shen Zhichu's face. She suppressed everything in her heart. It was okay in the short term, but if it was suppressed for a long time, she would become more and more irritable and even sick.
Bai Qiujing was worried about this aspect of her, afraid that she would lock herself up in a prison and not want anyone to get close to her.
Xu Nian was locked up in the utility room in the yard. Although Bai Qiujing had someone renovate the yard, the yard was rarely taken care of. Weeds grew next to the utility room, and one could smell mildew and rust when one approached.
The door was locked and did not need to be guarded, but Bai Qiujing had notified them in advance. When they arrived, they saw Xu Nian's two bodyguards standing at the door playing with the keys in their hands.
Seeing Bai Qiujing, the bodyguard respectfully said, "Boss Bai."
"Open the door."
The utility room had no soundproofing. Shen Zhichu stood beside Bai Qiujing and watched the bodyguard use the key to open the door. He could clearly hear the movement coming from inside.
The old wooden door was pushed open with a creaking sound. Shen Zhichu looked inside with indifferent eyes and found Xu Nian's figure in the corner.
The utility room has everything, including unused floor tiles from the renovation, shovels for weeding, and buckets, brooms, and mops used by the cleaning staff for daily cleaning.
A corner was cleared. It was obvious that Xu Nian had been squatting there all night. She only stood up this morning when she heard the noise. Her face was a little pale and her glasses had fallen off somewhere. Because she was nearsighted, she could only squint or open her eyes wide to maintain her vision.
Seeing Shen Zhichu, her eyes slid down guiltily, avoiding the gaze at the door, her hands clenched into fists on the sides of her thighs, looking a little uneasy.
But apart from these expressions, there was nothing extra, not even a hint of surprise. It seemed that he had guessed that Shen Zhichu would come.
"Sister Zhichu..." Xu Nian stood there timidly. Inexplicably, she felt panic in her heart. She tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart, and her lips trembled: "I'm right... I'm right..."
Shen Zhichu interrupted her and said to Bai Qiujing, "I want to talk to her alone."
"Don't close the door, in case of any accidents. I'll be outside."
"Yeah." Chen Zhichu nodded and stepped into the utility room.
Due to the angle of vision, the blur, and the nervousness in his heart, Xu Nian only caught a glimpse of Shen Zhichu. He heard a familiar voice but was too nervous to think about it.
Shen Zhichu approached Xu Nian step by step, her voice of "Sister Zhichu" still lingering in her ears, just as usual, but now there was no warmth at all, only making her feel nauseous.
She is not afraid of how bad the villains are. What she is afraid of is that the people she once trusted will turn against her, use disgusting means, and do things that are even more hateful than those villains.
Chen Zhichu had been betrayed by someone close to her for personal gain. She felt as if she was the only one left in the world, isolated and helpless, struggling desperately.
"Niannian is dead. Have you seen the video online?"
When Nian Nian was mentioned, Xu Nian's face stiffened even more. Why didn't she watch that video? But she didn't have the courage to watch it to the end. After seeing Nian Nian's teeth being pulled out with pliers, she turned off her phone. Whenever she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she would have nightmares. In her dreams, she was surrounded by bloody cats and Nian Nian's dead face.
"Sister Zhichu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, I didn't know Nian Nian would die..." Xu Nian's nose felt sore as she spoke, and tears fell. She didn't dare to wipe them away, but just lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shen Zhichu. But even without looking at her, she could feel Shen Zhichu's cold eyes and the deterrent power bursting out from her.
"Xu Nian, are you worthy of calling me that? You know in your heart whether you did it on purpose or not. Niannian is already dead. Do you know how painful her death was?" Shen Zhichu's clenched fists were shaking. She pressed closer and closer to Xu Nian, but Xu Nian had retreated to the wall with nowhere to go. She raised her head tremblingly.
"Pa——" Shen Zhichu pursed his thin lips, raised his hand and slapped Xu Nian directly.
A loud slap landed on Xu Nian's left cheek. Xu Nian's face was severely tilted, he tasted blood at the corner of his mouth, and his ears were buzzing.
Before she could react, she was slapped on the right cheek.
Shen Zhichu's two slaps were so strong that they almost disrupted her mind.
"These two slaps are meant for Nian Nian."
Xu Nian looked up in surprise. Could it be that Shen Zhichu forgave her just because he slapped her twice?
However, the facts proved that she was overthinking it. How could Shen Zhichu let her go so easily? The look in her eyes was full of hatred and resentment.
Xu Nian had thought that Shen Zhichu would be angry, but she didn’t expect that she would look at her in this way.
"Sister Zhichu, I'm sorry, but I really can't help it. They captured my mother, and if I don't take Nian Nian out, my mother will be in danger. I'm so scared. I'm sorry, Sister Zhichu, I really know I was wrong, and I don't have the right to ask you to forgive me, but I can do what I can to make it up to you. I've been visiting pet stores recently and want to give you a cat..."
"Do you think giving me a cat can replace Nian Nian? Then can I kill your relatives and find you another one?" Shen Zhichu's eyes were slightly red, and she could hardly control the violent gene in her body. She grabbed Xu Nian's collar with one hand and forced her to kneel on the ground, looking down at her condescendingly: "You know how important Nian Nian is to me, why... Why don't you tell me everything? Xu Nian, am I not good to you?"
Xu Nian shook his head in fear, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.
"I gave you many opportunities to ask if you were in trouble. As long as you told me, I would definitely help you, but you didn't even give me a chance." Shen Zhichu's voice was so low and hoarse. Her heart ached with every word she spoke, and her hand holding Xu Nian's collar became tighter and tighter.
Xu Nian suddenly felt like a fish stranded on the shore, having difficulty breathing.
She didn't give Shen Zhichu a chance because she didn't believe she had the ability to help her.
Who is Xia Yanyue? She's a TV queen, has tens of millions of fans, has a strong background, strong connections, and a company to back her up.
And what about Shen Zhichu? She had nothing. Even her company was blackmailing her. She had been blackmailed by the entire internet for so long, and she didn't even have money to hire a PR representative. Could she possibly save her?
Xu Nian fell into countless struggles and finally had to sacrifice Shen Zhichu's cat.
Niannian may mean a lot to Shen Zhichu, but Niannian is just a cat, and the pet doctor also said that Niannian will not live long.
Shen Zhichu seemed to see Xu Nian's thoughts, "In addition to being controlled by Xia Yanyue's people, your mother also needs a large sum of money for a kidney replacement."
Although Shen Zhichu looked normal, Xu Nian couldn't help but shudder.
Her mother was just diagnosed with a kidney transplant, so why did Shen Zhichu know?
"How do you know?"
Shen Zhichu didn't answer her: "Xu Nian, I'm waiting for the day when your mother recovers."
Xu Nian was too naive. If Xia Yanyue was really Xia Mingyue, then no one knew this woman better than her. She was selfish and vicious. Xu Nian did not do a perfect job in this matter. A video not only exposed Zheng Xiuxiu but also implicated Xia Yanyue behind the scenes, and even the x Entertainment Company was gone.
This matter is a loss for Xia Yanyue no matter how you look at it. One million is not a small amount, it can pay for PR to get on the trending search. Now Xia Yanyue needs money exactly, and Xu Nian indirectly exposed her. It's good enough that she didn't retaliate against her. How could she give her the money?
Xu Nian was using the money she'd earned by risking her life year after year. Didn't she mind the dirtiness? Didn't she mind the blood on the money? Didn't she live in fear and guilt day and night?
Xu Nian still hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter. Shen Zhichu doesn't intend to tell Xu Nian everything. Since she believes so much that Xia Yanyue thinks she can save her mother, then let her believe it for the rest of her life.
What kind of revenge is there? It is to give people hope and then take it all away, causing them to fall from heaven to hell and never recover.
"One day you will pay for everything you have done." After saying this, Chen Zhichu let go of Xu Nian's collar and turned away.
Don't be complacent. If you do something wrong and ruin other people's sincerity, there will always be someone who will make you pay it back double. Don't lose your words, don't lose your morals, don't lose your character. Things will change, and God will not forgive anyone.
Xu Nian collapsed to the ground, watching Chen Zhichu disappear at the door. Outside, the sun had already come out, but it was still dark and cold inside. For a moment, Xu Nian felt that she had lost something very important, something that she would never be able to find back in her lifetime, and she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Shen Zhichu didn't need her apology, and she didn't deserve to call her sister anymore.
His eyes were filled with loss and pain. Xu Nian covered his eyes, collapsed on the ground, hugged his arms and cried. He was extremely sad. After his crying became hoarse, he felt physically nauseous.
She retched on the spot, and it took a long time before she felt better. With a burning face, Xu Nian stood up staggeringly and walked out.
It was very strange. When Shen Zhichu walked out, she clearly saw that the sun was shining brightly outside, but when she went out, the sky became overcast.
Shen Zhichu had already walked away. She leaned against the door and looked at the two bodyguards who brought her here.
"You go."
Xu Nian lowered her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked outside.
It's okay, her mother will be able to get a kidney transplant soon and be saved. With the one million Xia Yanyue gave her, there will be some left over after the medical expenses. Combined with the money she has saved over the years, she can take her mother away from here, let her enjoy life, travel abroad, and see the pink sea and the northern lights that only appear on TV.
Mom will definitely be happy.
Xu Nian got in the car and went to the hospital, where he happened to meet the attending doctor at the door of the intensive care unit.
"Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang looked back at her with the medical records in hand. "It's you. Where did you go last night? Why did you leave your mother alone?"
"I...something happened to me."
Doctor Zhang didn't think much of it and said, "Your mother will have surgery in two days. Please stay with her and don't wander around. I have a surgery agreement for you to sign."
Xu Nian nodded quickly, "I understand. Doctor Zhang, is the surgery risky?"
"Any surgery has risks. I can't guarantee your mother will survive, but we can't not do it because of the risks, because this is her only hope."
