She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1810: Avoiding Heartache

And now, back in the country, even a nearly defeated Qin Family dares to do this.

Sheng Ning lay on the bed, closed her eyes wearily, and didn’t speak for a long time.

Zhenzhen knew she was listening, so she continued, "Do you want to hear my opinion on what comes next?"

Sheng Ning suddenly opened her eyes and shook her head slowly, "Zhenzhen, the Feng Family are businessmen, and businessmen should just deal with business matters. The two realms have nothing to do with us."

After a while, Zhenzhen nodded slightly.

"Don’t blame me, I’m telling you not to do something for your own good." She knew in her heart that Zhenzhen liked Chen Yingjie. Since she liked him, she absolutely should not act on it—if she did, it would mean there’s no future between them.

Zhenzhen was extremely intelligent, so she understood immediately. She clutched Sheng Ning’s hand tightly and said, "Family Head, it’s useless, don’t even think about it."

"You have to be brave! At the beginning, I pursued Xu Qigang, even though he wasn’t interested in me at all." Sheng Ning’s face was as pale as paper, and her expression was odd when she talked about it.

She must have recalled some sweet memory, as her whole being seemed to glow. But then the pain in her abdomen came, and she cried out, her face turning dark.

"Family Head, who on earth hurt you? I could tell the mark was from someone hitting you with their knee. That could have been very dangerous." A bit more force, and she could have been sent straight to the operating room.

Sheng Ning kept it from others, but not from Zhenzhen—her most trustworthy partner. It wasn’t about not trusting people, but some matters weren’t suitable for others to get involved in.

"It was Xu Qigang."

"Xu Zongdui?" Zhenzhen was shocked and covered her mouth—she couldn’t believe it. "Impossible, you are everything to him; he wouldn’t even want you to hurt a single hair, so how could he kick you?"

"It was him."

"But... but... you must have seen wrong, right?"

Sheng Ning gave her a look, "Do you think I’m blind?"

"Then what happened?" Ah! Why did it have to be Xu Qigang? If it were anyone else, she’d have no problem taking revenge. Only with Xu Qigang—she couldn’t harm someone she was indebted to!

Sheng Ning, not in a good state, briefly explained the situation, leaving Zhenzhen furious.

"No wonder you said it was Qin Shuang, hehehe..." followed by a string of cold laughs.

"I’m tired. Go take care of your business!" Sheng Ning closed her eyes, feeling pain all over. The kick from Xu Qigang bothered her less than the image of him holding Qin Xue.

So glaring, so unforgivable.

In the Primordial Forest, Shen Ming fled in disarray. He thought his collaboration with Qin Xue would be a chance to escape, but he was caught not long after setting out.

Shen Ming was pinned to the ground, a gun pressed against him by Old Leader Shen’s assistant, looking battered and bruised. The snow on the ground had already buried him up to his knees, freezing cold. But no cold could compare to the chill in his heart. Looking at his cousin in front of him, he drew a cold smile.

"Cousin, is this the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

"No!" An’an shook her head indifferently.

"So you were plotting against me?" Shen Ming stood up abruptly, like a trapped beast. Just as he stood up, the assistant pressed him back down into the snow.

"Sheng An, or rather, Hai Baobao. I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless, actually plotting against me. You pretended to give me all the resources, but it was just a facade. The people you gave me were all useless."
