Chapter 409: Strength
"My purpose?" Zhong Nianyao smiled, with a hint of profound meaning in her smile, "I want to bring down Li Jingming! Isn't that obvious?"
Such a straightforward answer almost made Madam Li feel overwhelmed. She frowned and asked, "Is this love turning into hate?"
Although she felt that this possibility was really small, it was the only thing she could think of now. However, looking at Zhong Nianyao's appearance, it didn't look like she had any request for Li Jingming.
For a woman like Zhong Nianyao, she couldn't say with a clear conscience that Li Jingming was worthy of her.
"Old lady, you really think too much." Zhong Nianyao just found it funny and shook her head. "This is not a garbage recycling site. I am willing to recycle any garbage."
Madam Li was also a little curious. "Then what exactly are you doing? I never saw you do anything before, why are you suddenly-"
No wonder she was curious.
In the past, Zhong Nianyao's pursuit of Li Jingming was considered a joke by many people in the imperial capital. However, after an incident, Zhong Nianyao seemed to lose interest in Li Jingming and stopped pursuing him. After that, Li Jingming continued to be entangled with Shen Yixue. Even now, Shen Yixue has become Chu Yixue, and they are still entangled.
She didn't have a good impression of Chu Yixue, but she wouldn't get too involved in Li Jingming's affairs. Ultimately, it was because she didn't care about Li Jingming.
"This wasn't sudden," Zhong Nianyao raised her head and smiled brightly, but the words she said were jaw-dropping. "He wanted to kill me, and I was just fighting back."
"What did you say?" Madam Li thought she had misheard. "What did Li Jingming do to you?"
She simply couldn't believe what she heard. Li Jingming wanted to kill Zhong Nianyao. How could this be possible? Although she didn't care too much about her grandson Li Jingming, she didn't believe that Li Jingming had the courage to kill someone.
"Li Jingming wants to kill me." Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged. "Yesterday, he found four desperate men and tried to kidnap and kill me. With such a life-and-death feud, do you think I can pretend nothing happened?"
"Miss Zhong, you can't say these things casually." Madam Li's expression became serious, and she sat up straight. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, her eyes became sharp. "If it's really as you said, then how can you sit here unharmed now?"
"The fact that I'm sitting here unscathed is my own doing."
Zhong Nianyao didn't get angry at Madam Li's questioning. "However, since he dared to attack me, I naturally can't just sit there and wait for death. If he wants to kill me, then I will trample him into the mud and he will never be able to turn over."
"Miss Zhong, what you said is truly unbelievable." Madam Li tried to calm herself down. "I can't just listen to your one-sided story."
"Madam Li, I think you've made a mistake." Zhong Nianyao looked at Madam Li and said seriously, "I didn't come here today to complain. Li Jingming hurt me, so I won't let him go. Moreover, I have plenty of ways to send him to hell. The reason I came here today is to tell you what Chen Sisi did."
"As for the grudge between Li Jingming and me, that's our business."
"Ms. Zhong, you said Li Jingming wanted to kill you. Do you have any evidence?" Old Madam Li's gaze remained fixed on Zhong Nianyao. "You should know what such a serious accusation means. You can't convict Li Jingming based solely on your words."
She said this not simply to defend Li Jingming, but because Li Jingming was a member of the Li family and represented the Li family. If Li Jingming really did something like this, it would definitely be a huge stain on the reputation of the Li family.
"There's no evidence, and I don't need any." Zhong Nianyao shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "I'm just telling you a fact. Just like I have no evidence to accuse him of wanting to kill me, if anything happens to him in the future, he will definitely not be able to find any evidence to accuse me."
Mrs. Li was secretly shocked by Zhong Nianyao's nonchalant appearance. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that what the young girl said was true and she could really do it.
"Old Madam, don't worry." Zhong Nianyao continued with a smile, "I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. The grudge between Li Jingming and I is a matter between us. I will not take my anger out on the Li family."
"What a big tone." Although Madam Li was not angry, she still looked down on Zhong Nianyao's conceited behavior. "You mean to say that the Zhong family will directly confront our Li family for you, right?"
"Even if your grandfather is in power now, do you really think he would disregard the interests of the company for you? And your two uncles are not easy to deal with either."
Zhong Nianyao's background was no secret in the upper class, and many people lamented Zhong Mingxin's disappearance.
Even if she was favored, Zhong Nianyao was just an orphan, and it was impossible for her to let the Zhong family fight to the death with the Li family for her.
After hearing what Madam Li said, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Madam Li, when did I ever say that the Zhong family would confront the Li family? Even if your Li family really wants to protect Li Jingming, then the one who will confront the Li family will only be me, not the Zhong family. Because I dare say that I have the ability to do so."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's arrogant look, Madam Li just found it funny. "Zhong Nianyao, you are too arrogant. Do you think you have what it takes to directly confront our Li family?"
Zhong Nian Yao smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it towards Madam Li.
The talisman paper ignited in mid-air without any fire and flew towards Madam Li.
Faced with the sudden change, Madam Li was shocked. She wanted to stand up and dodge, but her body was not under her control and she could not move at all.
She could do nothing but watch the talisman fire fly in front of her, about to burn her body. Finally, she could only close her eyes in horror.
The talisman fire went out immediately in front of Madam Li, turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
