Song Nuan coughed a few times suddenly.
"Even if the Li family is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, I will still marry into it and see what it's like."
This woman is insane.
After calming down, Song Nuan leaned back on the sofa. "No one wants to ruin you, at least I don't. If you let me go, I can forgive and forget what you did to me before. Miss Zhong, we don't need to fight to the death."
Zhong Qingya remained silent, looking at her with a playful expression.
Then, pulling a sharp knife from her bag, Song Nuan's body stiffened. "What do you want to do?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Zhong Qingya was overjoyed and kicked her, "Look at you, you coward! When your man was locking me up and torturing me, I didn't utter a sound. I just grabbed a knife, and you're scared like this?"
The kick struck Song Nuan squarely in the cramped muscle.
She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, as if an electric current had passed through her body, and instantly lost consciousness.
"Li Jingchen is not my man," Song Nuan explained through gritted teeth.
Zhong Qingya scoffed.
“If I truly wanted to break you two up and prevent him from being with you, I wouldn’t have made a deal with Zhong Guan to have him settle the Song family’s troubles for me, and in return, I would have told him where you were.”
"Zhong Qingya, don't you understand? I don't want to have anything to do with you at all right now."
"To be honest, Li Jingchen is excellent in every way, but he's always the one who brings me trouble, either directly or indirectly..."
She chuckled softly. "I'm not stupid. The little bit of affection I had for him was long ago worn away by the danger he carries. There are plenty of men out there, aren't there?"
Zhong Qingya was skeptical.
After a moment, she said, "Why should I believe you?"
"You and Li Jingchen are getting married, what threat can I pose to you?"
Exhausted, Song Nuan asked, "What do I have to do for you to believe me and let me go?"
A mischievous smile flickered across Zhong Qingya's eyes.
She took out her phone, entered a number, and said, "Tell him personally that you want to break up with him."
It was no challenge for Song Nuan at all.
She had said similar things countless times, and she was already so skilled at it that she didn't need Zhong Qingya to teach her any rhetoric.
"You'll let me go after you're done?"
"You dare to bargain with me? Meet my demands first."
Trapped alone, Song Nuan had no other choice. Besides, she had vowed to sever ties with them earlier, and if she didn't do so now, it was hard to predict whether Zhong Qingya would go crazy again.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Song Nuan said, "My hands are tied, hit me and I'll talk."
Seeing her agree so readily, Zhong Qingya couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
The last time they met, Song Nuan even challenged her, insisting on staying by Li Jingchen's side. The two were so affectionate.
How long has it been since you stopped loving me?
Although Zhong Qingya did not believe in eternal love, Song Nuan's attitude was too abnormal, so she had to be on guard.
The days she spent locked up in Wanhua Garden left her with too many traumas.
She smiled faintly and turned off the screen.
Song Nuan frowned, not understanding what she meant.
"What, are you unhappy because I'm not making a phone call, which is preventing you from asking Li Jingchen for help?"
"..."
Song Nuan rolled her eyes inwardly.
After drawing the curtains, Zhong Qingya strolled leisurely around the room, touching the table, fiddling with the plants, and then turning on the TV, switching between dozens of channels before finally selecting a suspense drama that was airing.
Unfortunately, this was precisely the scene of the murderer committing the crime.
The visuals weren't particularly scary, but the sound effects were spot-on, and combined with the dimly lit room, Song Nuan got goosebumps all over.
She really wanted to yell at Zhong Qingya, "You're out of your mind!"
No, both the Zhong father and daughter are sick.
Zhong Guan tied her up and, failing to get the shares, simply dumped her there. Zhong Qingya, drawn by the smell, came over and made her demands, which she initially agreed to, but then suddenly changed her mind.
They even started showing suspense dramas.
There really is a show.
Why go through all that trouble to bring her here, just to have her watch TV with me?
Despite her complaints, Song Nuan was still glad that watching suspense dramas was better than becoming a victim in one of the episodes.
Song Nuan sat on the floor, leaning against the sofa. Next to her was Zhong Qingya, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
"Tsk."
Just as she was about to fall asleep, a click of the tongue instantly woke Song Nuan up.
Zhong Qingya rested her chin on her hand and looked at her with a wicked smile, "Look at my terrible memory, how could I forget that Ouyang Zhoujing likes you?"
What tricks are they up to now?
“Alright then,” she stood up, “if you’re with Ouyang Zhoujing, I’ll let you go.”
Song Nuan closed her eyes, telling herself not to get angry and to stay calm.
After calming herself down and opening her eyes, she was about to speak when Zhong Qingya changed her mind again, "No way, what's the point of being together? With Li Jingchen's disgusting nature, he'll definitely force you to break up and snatch you back to his side."
Song Nuan: "..."
Should she say thank you?
Thank you, Zhong Qingya, for understanding Li Jingchen so well, which saved her from disaster and prevented Zhong Qingya's utterly idiotic idea from being implemented.
The next second.
"Get married, get married, and he'll behave himself."
Song Nuan: "?"
What?
Did she hear that right?
"Who do you want me to marry?"
"Ouyang Zhoujing." Tired of standing, Zhong Qingya sat back down in a more comfortable position and said lazily, "Marrying Ouyang Zhoujing is the best way to make Li Jingchen give up."
"Only in this way will I believe that you really don't like Li Jingchen and have no intention of going against our Zhong family."
Song Nuan was speechless, unsure of what expression to make.
Shouldn't Zhong Qingya hurry up and go to the hospital to get her brain checked out?
What utter nonsense!
She patiently said, "Just because I don't like Li Jingchen doesn't mean I like Ouyang Zhoujing."
"You don't need to like someone to get married."
"..."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhong Qingya's smile faded, and she glared at her coldly with an unfriendly look in her eyes. "I'm not bargaining with you. If you want to get rid of me and Li Jingchen completely, then do as I say."
"Otherwise, even if you can negotiate with my dad this time and get him to help you resolve the Song family's troubles, it might not be the case next time."
"I have plenty of opportunities to bring your company down."
Clenching his fists.
Song Nuan's head was about to explode.
She turned her face away and said coldly, "Then I'm sorry, the negotiations have failed."
Zhong Qingya's face darkened, and with a swift movement, she slapped Song Nuan across the face. "Who do you think you are? I'm in charge of the negotiations. What are you barking about?"
My cheeks were burning.
Song Nuan touched her cheek with the tip of her tongue and curled her lips into a slight smile.
"I'm negotiating with you not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want to cause any more trouble."
"If you really push me too far, not only you, but I also have plenty of ways to make things difficult for you and your Zhong family."
Song Nuan sneered, "I don't have a wealthy family background, but Ouyang Zhoujing and Li Jingchen do. If I can't deal with you, can't I just use those two?"
"You bitch!"
Another slap landed.
Finding an outlet for her emotions, Zhong Qingya forcefully grabbed Song Nuan's long hair and spat in her face. With a click, the flash went off, and Song Nuan instinctively closed her eyes.
Zhong Qingya scoffed, "Show them this awful look of yours, and let's see who will still like you!"
Song Nuan's eyes suddenly darkened.
