Mom, I rember every word you ever said to my uncle clearly, even though you never told directly. I know all the truth but I never speak of it because I’ve left so room between us. Those things are forever buried in my mories, constantly reminding of the fear. Do you know how much I hate that kind of life? I can’t accept my own family choosing to hurt in this way, repeatedly delivering fatal blows from behind.
"Xiao Wei, co here, I want to talk to you."
Xiao Wei is a squad leader in the rcenary Group, and he’s also Xia Jing’s trusted aide. He’s killed countless people and regards Xia Jing as his own elder sister. Whenever Xia Jing needs help, he’s willing to give his all without hesitation.
"Elder Sister Xia, tell , what do you need to do this ti?" Xiao Wei noticed Xia Jing didn’t look well: "Did sothing happen, Elder Sister Xia?"
"It’s nothing major, but there’s sothing I need you to do."
"Elder Sister Xia, speak freely with , I’ll definitely handle it for you!"
"Alright, Xiao Wei." Xia Jing looked at Xiao Wei: "By the way, Xiao Wei, do you know Li Jiayuan, the heiress of Li Corporation?"
"Elder Sister Xia, I know, what’s up?"
"What’s up? That heiress Li Jiayuan actually dared to snatch my man. I want her to disappear. You should know what to do, I don’t need to teach you this, go!" Xia Jing finished and waved him off.
Xiao Wei was still a bit stunned. He was puzzled, how did the brainless Li Jiayuan manage to provoke Elder Sister Xia? Everyone knows that she is the leader of the rcenaries, and everyone knows that rcenaries are not to be ssed with. Is this woman out of her mind? To provoke Elder Sister Xia, it seems this ti no one can save her. Just don’t know if Li Jiayuan realizes it’s the woman whose man she snatched that’s actually trying to kill her, would she be shocked [curious/curiosity].
Midnight.
Xiao Wei crept into Li Jiayuan’s bedroom like a ghost. Li Jiayuan just returned from outside at this ti. As she entered the room, she saw a figure holding a knife inside her bedroom. She was so startled she forgot to react, just standing dumbfounded. Xiao Wei saw Li Jiayuan just standing there, suddenly hesitating to do it. This silly sweet dumb girl! I’m here to kill her, and she’s standing there not moving? Isn’t she afraid I might slash her with a knife?
Who is this nutcase that dares brazenly to invade my bedroom, and even more infuriating, stays here despite the owner coming back. Is this person nuts?
"Hey, who are you? Why are you in my bedroom? How did you get in here? Are you a thief?" Li Jiayuan regained her senses and asked Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei, hiding a smile, looked at Li Jiayuan: "Are you asking ?"
"Do your eyes work right? Or is it your ears that aren’t working right? If I’m not asking you, who am I asking? Don’t you see it’s just you, dressed like a thief, standing here?"
"Oh~ so you are asking , huh? You don’t need to care who I am! Just know I’m here to kill you, that’s enough; once in Yama’s Palace, you can ask Lord Yama who I am!" Xiao Wei then pressed the knife against Li Jiayuan’s neck.
"What are you doing? Tell , how much do you want?"
This silly sweet dumb girl wouldn’t think I’m here to kill her just to extort her money, right? I’m here following Elder Sister Xia’s orders to kill her.
"Li Jiayuan, you don’t possibly know even now why I’m here to kill you, do you?" Is this woman stupid? Doesn’t she even know whom she’s offended?
"Sorry, I really don’t know why you want to kill . Is it because I’m the heiress of Li Corporation, so you want to extort ?" Li Jiayuan used her hand to push the knife off her neck.
"Well, since you don’t know, I don’t mind telling you. You absolutely shouldn’t have, you shouldn’t have offended Elder Sister Xia. Offending her is one thing, but you actually dared to snatch her man. You know very well Elder Sister Xia is the leader of the rcenary Group, and she has so many subordinates. Yet you recklessly provoked her; you tell , aren’t you seeking death?"
After Xiao Wei told Li Jiayuan the truth, he gazed at her with a pitiful look. Li Jiayuan was amused as he looked at her, feeling that this person in front of her was rely Xia Jing’s lapdog.
"Oh my, so you were talking about that self-proclaid rcenary Xia Jing! I thought it was soone else, but it turns out it’s just that woman who wants to marry into a rich family but isn’t favored by the man’s parents! Hahaha! This really cracks up." Li Jiayuan laughed heartily.
...
Li Jiayuan was laughing joyously, but Xiao Wei’s face was dark with anger. He didn’t expect everyone to fear the rcenaries, yet this silly sweet dumb girl in front of him isn’t afraid, and even dares to speak so recklessly against the rcenary leader. This is truly the first ti I’ve seen soone so daring, doesn’t she fear death?
Should I kill her or not? Saying such things about Elder Sister Xia, logically I should kill her for Elder Sister Xia. But this woman is rather interesting, if I really killed her, Li Corporation surely wouldn’t let Elder Sister Xia get away with it. However, if I don’t kill her, how should I explain to Elder Sister Xia when I return? Forget it, I’ll spare her life for now!
"Silly sweet dumb girl, listen up, I’m sparing your life here today. Don’t provoke Elder Sister Xia again, you hear ? Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you."
......
Zhang Yichen he was acutely aware that every mber of his family has spent the past few years living like this. But he chose not to speak about it, he knows so words can’t be spoken, for saying them only leads to deeper misunderstandings among everyone.
"Do you not believe every conversation between you and my uncle, how I know every detail clearly? It’s because I’ve investigated, I’ve checked everything thoroughly and clearly. But I chose to say nothing because I know the pain of each mistake I’ve made. I don’t want you all to continue living as before; I just want to save you. So you can live honorably, but you never value such opportunities. You always think I’m hurting you with this approach, but do you know how much sorrow you cause every family mber when you choose to treat them like this repeatedly? You’ve never considered that your hearts have beco callous, impervious to anything toxic, disregarding others’ opinions, only caring about the freedom in your own hearts."
