“What nonsense are you talking about?” Zhuang Yu couldn’t take it anymore. She couldn’t help but retort, “Mrs. Ji’s current status is all thanks to her ability. You don’t think that anyone who married into the Ji family at that time would be able to reach this status, do you?” It was simply wishful thinking! Back then, when Ji Yan’s leg was broken and he was depressed, the Ji brothers and sisters each had their shortcomings as well. They were people who could not be helped.
At that time, the Ji family was surrounded by a pack of wolves and was plagued by internal and external problems. The Ji family was not a popular place, but a place full of troubles. After Shen Hanxing married into the Ji family, with her elegance and calmness, she brought the Ji family out of the numerous crises. Therefore, Shen Hanxing’s current achievements were all due to her skills and abilities.
“You don’t have to talk to her, she won’t listen to you.” Shen Hanxing’s attitude was calm as she said, “Cheng Liu, even if things are as you think, what can you change by kidnapping me? You won’t have a better life without me, right? So what exactly do you want?”
“That’s right!” Zhuang Yu nodded, her face full of confusion. “Isn’t being the eldest daughter of the Cheng family good? Why did you have to go and break the law?
“Good? What’s good about it?” Cheng Liu laughed sarcastically. “Being treated like a commodity good and sent to others, living a lowly life, is that good? Not good, not good at all! My life will never be good again!” Cheng Liu shouted. She glared fiercely at Shen Hanxing and Zhuang Yu and sneered, “But it doesn’t matter. As long as the two of you are gone, my life will not continue to be bad. If I’m not living well, then don’t even think about having it good either. Go to hell with me!”
This thought of mutual destruction made Zhuang Yu roll her eyes. “We are not the main culprits that caused your life to turn out badly. Why don’t you go look for those who made your life miserable? Why did you come for the both of us?” She really could not understand Cheng Liu’s way of thinking.
“Pa!”
Cheng Liu raised her hand abruptly and slapped Zhuang Yu again. She said, “How is it none of your business? If it weren’t for you and Shen Hanxing supporting the development of the west side of the city, how would my brother lose? How would he lose the Ji Corporation?!” She was filled with resentment. She rebuked with confidence, “You’re usually high and mighty, putting on airs and ignoring me. What about now? How does it feel to be trampled under my feet and being randomly beaten and scolded?”
“Developing the west side of the city was the government’s decision. Are you venting your anger on us?” Zhuang Yu said in disbelief, “We’re just standing on different sides. Isn’t victory and defeat common? Your side lost so you blame us for winning. Does that mean that if we lose, we have to tie you up and beat you up as well?”
If Cheng Liu kidnapped them over this ridiculous reason, that would be too ludicrous!
“Moreover, you already said that it was the Ji Corporation. The name of the company is Ji, and it was originally part of the Ji family. You don’t have the right to say whether you ‘lost the company’ or not,” Shen Hanxing added plainly, “It’s your fault for being unwilling to leave a place that did not belong to you in the first place. It’s not our fault.”
“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!” Cheng Liu shook her head. With a ferocious look on her face, she pushed them down. “Go to hell. I won’t listen to your excuses. All of you, go to hell!”
Shen Hanxing fell to the ground. Caught off guard, the tip of the hair clip that she had previously held in her hand pierced into her palm. She could not help but let out a muffled groan.
Zhuang Yu’s entire body went soft from the fever, but she still sensed that something was wrong with Shen Hanxing immediately. She worriedly asked, “Mrs. Ji, are you alright?”
Shen Hanxing shook her head, gesturing to Zhuang Yu not to say anything.
“You really have a deep sisterhood,” Cheng Liu sneered and suddenly pulled out a fruit knife. “Since you two are so close, I’ll be merciful and let you two go together. Both of you could continue to be good sisters in hell!”
“Cheng Liu!” Zhuang Yu’s eyes widened in horror. “Calm down! We can let you off the hook for the kidnapping, but killing is a path of no return. You don’t have to sacrifice your life for a moment of recklessness!”
Crazy! Cheng Liu had completely lost her mind. Zhuang Yu could tell that at this moment, Cheng Liu really wanted to kill them!
“Shut up!” Cheng Liu was both smug and crazy. She laughed and waved the fruit knife in her hand. “Don’t talk to me about logic. I don’t want to hear it!”
“Killing us won’t make a difference.” Shen Hanxing looked at her calmly. Then, she said in a composed manner, “Cheng Liu, using a knife will only make things more difficult to resolve. If do not accept the way things are right now, you can try your best to take back everything you think should belong to you, instead of going on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes.”
