Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Nangong Family, Not Someone the Qin Family Can Mess With

"Let me go, do you know who I am? If I find out which security company you belong to, I will make it impossible for you to keep your jobs..."

Amid his protest, Tang’s father was thrown out of the Qin Family’s gate by the hidden guards.

Tang’s mother and Tang Ya were also forced to leave the Qin Family by the Huo Family’s hidden guards.

Upon reaching the gate, Tang Ya suddenly looked back.

She was pitiful yet stubborn, biting her lower lip with resentment sparkling in her eyes.

"Qin Jingcen, are you really not going to marry me?"

Qin Jingcen had one hand in his pocket, looking graceful, "Miss Tang, I think I’ve made it clear." His voice was warm and pleasant.

"Fine! I’ll remember this. Don’t regret it!"

Tang Ya turned around, her neck held high in defiance, and strode away.

After the Tang Family left, the mood in the Qin Family was not light.

"What kind of nonsense is this!" Qin Mei kicked the marble table in front of him.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch——"

Having kicked the table, he cried out in pain.

The force of his kick was so great that it caused his toes to ache, even through his shoe.

"Jingcen, what in the world is going on?"

Qin Anguo looked serious, his piercing eyes directed at his elder son.

Qin Jingcen straightened his posture and explained, "Three years ago, I discovered Tang Ya’s involvement with the eldest son of the Nangong Family. The company was on the rise and unstable at that time, so I didn’t tell you.

I sent someone to keep an eye on Tang Ya and discovered she’d had an abortion. With this incident, it is impossible for me to marry Tang Ya. I thought the Tang Family was coming to end the engagement today. I didn’t expect them to have discovered that Ruanruan is the company’s second-largest shareholder and came to force a marriage.

The Tang Family’s intentions are very clear. Tang Ya is carrying the Nangong Family’s child in her womb. Obviously, this marriage cannot and should not occur."

Qin Anguo asked sharply, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Qin Jingcen: "When I discovered Tang Ya’s involvement with Nangong Chang, I discussed the issue of marriage with her. I told her that the marriage contract between the two families could be dissolved anytime. She was indecisive.

Oddly enough, people from the Nangong Family suddenly appeared. They produced photos of Tang Ya with Nangong Chang that were taken by the person I assigned to monitor her and used them to issue threatening warnings to me.

Since then, Tang Ya never mentioned the engagement again, and I have been waiting for the Tang Family to take the initiative."

After all, at that time, Tang Ya was infatuated with Nangong Chang, he thought that the marriage contract would inevitably be dissolved, it was merely a question of time.

Qin Anguo clenched his teeth and said coldly, "A woman like this should have been completely discarded the moment she was discovered!"

The eldest young master of the Qin Family gave a bitter smile. If he could, he would have wanted to do just that.

But at that time, the company was on the rise, and due to the threats conveyed by the Nangong Family, any action he took would inevitably affect his family.

The Nangong Family was not something the Qin Family could afford to provoke. One small misstep would lead to irreversible failure. He couldn’t afford to take such a gamble.

After hearing what his elder brother had to say, Qin Ruan’s eyes were deep and cold. He discovered that his elder brother had once been threatened by the Nangong Family.

...

North City.

Inside a residential building.

Lili isolated herself in her brightly lit room.

She sat at the desk scribbling Sutras quickly.

The time Qin Ruan mentioned, the midnight, was approaching, and she needed to speed up.

Time passed unnoticed.

"Knock, knock..."

The door was knocked on from the outside.

"Lili, aren’t you asleep yet?" A caring question came through.

Hearing the noise at the door, Lili was startled, and her pen slipped, ruining the characters she was writing.

She turned her head and said irritably towards the door, "Mom, I’m working on my paper!"

"You should go to bed early, you can continue writing tomorrow."

"I know!"

Lili crumpled up the ruined writings and threw them away, then started writing anew.

Time passed unnoticed.

At twelve midnight, Lili still hadn’t finished writing the Sutras, and sweat was beading on her forehead from anxiety.

At half-past twelve, she finally finished writing.

It wasn’t past midnight yet.

Lili glanced at the empty bowl on the table, along with a fruit knife.

She picked up the knife and held it to her wrist over the bowl.

Lili gritted her teeth as she lightly drew the knife across her wrist.

The pain! It was so intense that tears welled up in her eyes.

Fresh blood spilled from her wrist.

The bowl quickly filled with blood, and she hurriedly found a first aid kit to bandage the wound.

Her face contorted in agonizing pain.

Lili stood up, covering the throbbing wound on her wrist, fixated on the bowl in front of her.

The blood wasn’t lessening; anxiety seized Lili’s heart.

Qin Ruan had said that as long as the blood in the bowl was gone, she would be safe.

Why wasn’t the blood reducing?

Why?!

A growing sense of unease and fear engulfed the trembling Lili.

It was almost one o’clock.

Why was the blood not evaporating?

Faster, go faster!

Anxious, Lili fixed her eyes on the bowl of blood on the table.

She recalled what Qin Ruan had said, and a light bulb went off.

She began to mumble anxiously, "I’m sorry, sorry for hurting you. I shouldn’t have done that. Please, don’t haunt me anymore.

If I knew you were a boy, I wouldn’t have done what I did. Please, forgive me this time. I beg you to leave me be, I am sorry..."

As Lili murmured her apologies, the volume of blood in the bowl finally started to visibly decrease.

Seeing this, a wild joy spread across Lili’s face.

A smile played on her lips as she cried out excitedly, "Mommy’s sorry. If there’s a next life, could you still come into my belly, please?

I’ll treat you well, I promise to treat you very, very well. Please, don’t blame me anymore. I know I was wrong and, if given a chance, I promise to treat you very, very well..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the blood in the bowl instantly vanished.

The bowl was now completely clean, even reflecting her image.

Lili’s face was etched with shock and wild joy, her body trembling with excitement.

Qin Ruan had said that as long as she sincerely apologised to the Puppet, and the blood in the bowl vanished, she would be safe.

Lili moved to clean the bowl and the fruit knife.

She thought she would visit the temple tomorrow for the Puppet’s soul deliverance ceremony, so it wouldn’t bother her anymore.

After tidying up the room, an exhausted Lili collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

She didn’t see the red light flying into her stomach.

...

Shengshi Academy.

Qin Ruan was on edge all day. She was constantly distracted during classes, feeling like something was about to happen.

This premonition came true when she saw Lili.

"You lied to me!"

Lili looked pale, her eyes nearly bulging out, and her face was contorted to the extreme.

At first glance, Qin Ruan noticed her pulled, pallid appearance.

Lili’s eerie, deathly aura sent a shudder down Qin Ruan’s spine.

Qin Ruan’s face was grave as she looked Lili up and down, "What happened to you?"

"You deceived me. You said that thing would leave, but it’s still haunting me!"

The cold light in Lili’s eyes was full of resentment.

Qin Ruan, observing the passerby, said to Lili, "Come with me."

The pair found a secluded spot, where Qin Ruan opened her Heavenly Eye to examine Lili again.

Her gaze finally rested on Lili’s stomach.

Her face instantly darkened, "What have you done?!"

Lili’s face twisted with rage, she yelled, "What did you do to me? Why did you betray me?"

Qin Ruan frowned, "Now it has entered your stomach. Even if I had wanted to, I couldn’t have done it without your consent!"
