Her alluring blue eyes gazed out the car window toward the manor, following the flickering lights within.
A wisp of clear water swirled around the fingers holding the cigarette, seemingly yearning to move towards the mountain, before finally dissipating and spilling onto the ground.
Lin Changli picked up his phone and sent a text message to Kong Sang: [Asleep?]
Nie Jingxing was fast asleep at this moment, but his large hand was firmly held around her waist. His silent phone lit up, and Kong Sang, who was used to insomnia, picked it up and glanced at it.
He paused for a moment before replying: 【What's up?】
Can you come out? I miss you.
Lin Changli, you know I can't get out tonight.
[You can come out, all you have to do is ask.]
After glancing at the man's silhouette beside him, Kong Sang didn't reply further; it wasn't time to break off all pretense of civility yet...
Lin Changli waited until his phone died, but received no reply. A low, chilling laugh escaped him as he drove his old car away from Huaishan...
Kong Sang also watched as the phone light dimmed, his expression inscrutable.
"Not sending it anymore?"
Those three simple words immediately sent a chill down Kong Sang's spine. She turned to look at the person beside her: "Not asleep?"
Nie Jingxing, holding Kong Sang's right hand, answered irrelevantly, "To whom did you send it?"
Kong Sang's voice was perfectly natural: "It's Yu Wei. She's very curious about why I haven't left my brother's room yet. Does my brother want to see?"
After a few seconds of silence, Kong Sang felt as if his heart was about to stop.
Only when I heard the words, "Go back to your room; you probably won't be able to sleep all night if you're next to me," did I feel relieved.
"Okay, goodnight, brother."
Kong Sang climbed out of bed and only felt a little better breathing after returning to her own room. She deleted everything about Lin Changli from her phone and stopped saving his number in her contacts.
Until she is strong enough, nothing should exist to disturb her mind...
Nie Xi arranged to meet Lan Yun and her daughter at a hot spring resort in eastern Kyoto, while Nie Yan, under the pretense of choosing a gift for his aunt, led them to a jewelry store in western Kyoto...
They really went to great lengths to trick the real heiress, but Kong Sang had no intention of helping them.
First, she chose to return to the Nie family, since there was no way to avoid these things. Second, she had warned her long ago that some things cannot be relied on others.
A pale pink, diamond-encrusted hair clip appeared before Kong Sang's eyes. Nie Yan revealed his little tiger teeth and obediently asked, "Sister, is this pretty?"
"It looks good, but it's not suitable for Auntie's age."
Nie Yan pointed to the open pigeon egg ring next to him and said, "That one belongs to my aunt. This one... is for the girl I like."
Kong Sang paused for three seconds before saying, "You like... a girl?" She couldn't help but be surprised; she never expected to hear the word "like" from Nie Yan's mouth.
He tentatively asked, "A college classmate?"
"Yes, she's in the art department, very pretty, but from a poor family. However, she's a very interesting person. The first time we met, she scratched my car. To avoid paying for it, she brazenly accused me of slandering her because of my background and said that I was the one who hit her."
"My classmates all believed her. No one thought I was the one who was wronged. It was the first time I had ever experienced the feeling of having a bitter pill to swallow. It was quite interesting."
Kong Sang clicked his tongue in amazement. This method of attracting Nie Yan was quite nice, but he didn't know if it was a genuine coincidence or if there was some ulterior motive...
As a member of the Nie family, you always seem to encounter some ridiculous things when you go out, like mistaking someone for someone else, accidentally fainting in front of you, or letting you see you changing clothes...
Kong Sang smiled and said, "Ayan has grown up too. I'm very curious about this girl. If you two get together, bring her back so I can see her."
"Hmm, my sister will definitely see it. Do you think girls will like this hair clip?"
After glancing at the price of over 300,000, Kong Sang raised an eyebrow: "I can only say that most girls would like it."
"This is it, please wrap it up for me." The saleswoman respectfully took the package.
After shopping at the jewelry store, the siblings went to eat some delicious food. Perhaps it was because of the arrival of love, but Nie Yan was no longer interested in tormenting her and kept talking about the girl named Qiu Ning.
In contrast to Kong Sang's rare moment of ease, Yu Wei was in dire straits.
Given the twisted nature of the Nie family, once they show you kindness, misfortune is almost inevitable.
Since returning to the Nie family, she has been largely ignored, with no regard for how her family should compensate her after all these years of separation.
These days, all that concern and concern is creepy.
With her mother and aunt both praising Yu Wei to the skies, an ordinary girl would probably have become arrogant after receiving such high-ranking praise from someone of such power.
But Yu Wei remained clear-headed. Upon seeing the green-eyed Lucky William arrive, she instantly understood their intentions, though she didn't know how far they were going to go...
Knowing full well that she was already engaged to the president's eldest son, she still did this. It seems that the head of state of R country does not want the Nie family and C country to be at peace. He deliberately sent his wife back to the Nie family to stir up trouble.
Nie Xi's purpose was easy to guess, but what puzzled Yu Wei was why Lan Yun, Nie Qu's wife, would help her sister-in-law harm her own husband's interests.
In order to create an opportunity for the two, the two elders made up an excuse and went out.
Women in high positions, well-maintained and elegant, walked hand in hand, their smiles captivating onlookers.
However, the reality is that the two of them were merely putting on a false facade.
Lan Yun's nails almost dug into Nie Xi's arm: "You bitch, you came back and threatened me to help you deal with those messes. Do you think I can't do anything to you?"
Nie Xi retorted without backing down: "Sister-in-law, it's not right for you to keep calling the First Lady a 'bitch,' have you forgotten that if it weren't for me, you would have been able to win over my brother?"
"These are old, trivial matters, so many years ago. You still bring them up? Do you think I still care?"
"Hmph, you've secured your position as Mrs. Nie, but you know very well that my brother doesn't even look at you."
"Back then, you gave up your own daughter to get back that little girl Nie Kongsang, all to win my brother's heart, but it seems that the effect is not good now."
"What if my brother knew... that Nie Kongsang's mother's death was your doing..."
Lan Yun said sharply, "Shut up, Nie Xi. Let me tell you, if you dare to utter a single word of nonsense, I will make you wish you were dead."
Nie Xi chuckled, not angry at all, and said, "As long as you take care of my sister, no third person will ever know about this."
"Of course, if you secretly try to harm me, I guarantee that the moment something happens to me, the news will be known to everyone."
Lan Yun's composed face was filled with murderous intent, but she finally completely concealed it and asked, "Is the hot spring water treated?"
"Hehe, don't worry, once that girl gets in the water, she won't have a chance to resist. I think Lucky William is quite interested in Nie Yuwei."
Lan Yun scoffed: "He's my child after all, so his looks are naturally beyond reproach. How many men are like Nie Qu, unmoved by beauty?"
"The rest is to figure out a way to lure Qi Yun Shen over; a one-man show isn't very interesting."
