Chapter 1211: Did I scare you?

Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: Did I scare you?

"Your true feelings have killed my daughter."

Tang Ling suddenly screamed excitedly, her expression twisted into the same grimace as in her dreams, Shen Mianmian frowned, sensing Tang Ling’s malicious intent this time.

"Please calm down. Your parents are very heartbroken over Xingxing’s matter recently; I think you should go see them." Shen Mianmian tried to stabilize Tang Ling’s emotions by mentioning her parents.

Sure enough, upon hearing that, Tang Ling calmed down a bit, she rubbed her temples and said, "I’ve been having terrible headaches lately."

"..." Listening to Tang Ling’s nonsensical reply and observing her mental state, Shen Mianmian was certain that Tang Ling was not normal, "I’ll call 120 and take you to the hospital!"

She turned to grab her cellphone from the stone table, but Tang Ling rebuked, "Stop right there."

Shen Mianmian paused midstep, then heard Tang Ling continue, "Shen Mianmian, stop playing smart with me, I think you’ve figured out my visit isn’t with simple intentions."

"..." Shen Mianmian feigned composure, turned her head to look at her, and smiled, asking, "Is that so? Then why did you come to see me?"

"Why do you think?" Tang Ling revealed a chilling smile, took a step closer to Shen Mianmian, "What if I say, I came here this time wanting to marry He Nan in your place, would you agree?"

Shen Mianmian frowned, "Do you think this kind of thing can be substituted?"

"Why not?" Tang Ling said, "I heard that the cosmetic surgery technology abroad is excellent now; they can transform one person to look like another. If I get surgery to look like you, maybe He Nan will like me, right?"

Shen Mianmian’s heart skipped a beat, Tang Ling’s thoughts were twisted.

"Forget whether the doctors can do it or not, do you think you’d be willing to live as me?"

"As long as I am with He Nan, I am willing to use anyone’s identity," Tang Ling declared.

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She looked at Tang Ling and for a moment didn’t know what to say.

Tang Ling stared at Shen Mianmian, monitoring her every facial expression, then suddenly, she laughed heartily, her face instantly becoming cheerful.

"Mianmian, did I just look like a lunatic? Did I scare you?"

Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow, "You??"

Tang Ling’s expression suddenly normalized, showing no sign of her prior derangement. She took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and gave a bitter smile, as if she had realized something.

"Actually, some things I said earlier were genuinely from my heart. For instance, why haven’t you gotten married? Or, if Xingxing hadn’t been sent back, would she have been alright?"

She paused, then continued, "I even thought about blaming everything on you, but after locking myself at home and thinking it through for a night, I realized it was my own obsession. It has nothing to do with anyone else that He Nan likes you and not me. Even if I killed you, he wouldn’t like me, so I’ve moved past it. I came here just to see you and heard that you’re getting married, so I wish you both the best."

Shen Mianmian scrutinized Tang Ling for a while, unsure of her true intentions, unable to distinguish between what was real and what was false.

The Tang Ling before her didn’t seem troubled at all, appearing even more normal than a normal person.

She pursed her lips and said lightly, "Thank you, I’m glad you’re okay. Your behavior earlier indeed scared me."
