Chapter 393: Chapter 393

Liang Shiman’s heart skipped a beat, unsure of what to say.

He Qimo, after washing his hands, pulled out two dry paper towels to wipe his fingertips, then slid his hands into his pockets and approached Liang Shiman inch by inch.

"Liang Shiman, I don’t care if you did this or how you achieved it. You should be thankful that she’s safe today, but we both know that being safe now doesn’t mean she’ll be safe next time. Remember my advice today: back off. It doesn’t matter to you or me whom she marries now. Otherwise, you can see how Yu Yuanshen and Feng Chengjin protect Gu Zixuan. If this matter falls into my hands, you might still have a chance to live. If it falls into theirs, who knows what they would do~~~"

The eerie voice sent a bone-chilling cold through Liang Shiman.

And with that, He Qimo, seemingly uninterested in wasting any more words on Liang Shiman, shot her a mocking glance before coldly turning around and leaving, pulling open the door of the women’s restroom.

Outside, Shen Jian妮 and Song Qingchen were standing opposite each other in the corridor.

He Qimo wasn’t sure of his own feelings, but after a quick exchange and stepping out, he glanced at Song Qingchen, and then at the moment when he saw Shen Jian妮 unharmed, something in his heart relaxed slightly.

Approaching them, he coolly said, "Let’s go."

Then he swiftly strode away. The source of thɪs content is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

The aloof silhouette, coupled with the utterly unceremonious tone, caused a surge of gloom in Shen Jian妮’s heart, making her mutter quietly, "Hey, you. I just helped you tonight, you ungrateful..."

As she hurried to catch up.

Seeing the two leave one after another, Song Qingchen frowned slightly, quickly pushed open the door to the women’s restroom, glanced inside, and rushed over, "Cousin?"

At this moment, Liang Shiman couldn’t hold herself up anymore and had collapsed onto the cold floor.

Her body trembled, unsure if it was out of fear or anger.

When Song Qingchen got closer, she saw the marks of five fingers lingering on Liang Shiman’s neck, which made her eyes soften with a mix of heartache and resentment.

"Damn it, he really went all out!"

Liang Shiman came to her senses, feeling as if her heart was being cruelly gouged out, trembling as she said, "Yes, he did. Qingchen, do you know? He actually went all out! He even threatened me, telling me to back off or, if Yu Yuanshen and Feng Chengjin caught me, I wouldn’t stand a chance."

This decisively angered Song Qingchen, who sarcastically sneered with an icy smile, "Pah, they are just a bunch of businessmen, do they really think having a bit of money means they can control everything?"

Liang Shiman said nothing, her eyes burning with the hatred of jealousy, "He left so quickly, was there anything suspicious between him and that little bitch Shen Jian妮?"

Song Qingchen shook her head, "No, nothing suspicious. They didn’t look like a couple at all. They’re probably being used or have some kind of interest alignment. Cousin, it seems He Qimo knows who he’s up against, which is why he would get someone like Shen Jian妮 to put on a show."

Hearing this analysis, Liang Shiman suppressed her tears with a more sinister smile, "Heh, it seems he knows he can’t offend me. But why would he threaten me if he’s still afraid of me? Why not just break things off cleanly with Gu Zixuan and marry me?"

This obsession made Song Qingchen’s eyes dim, "But, cousin, are you sure you still want to keep doing this? Mr. He... although we don’t mind opposing him, nor do we mind going after his loved ones viciously, but given his ruthlessness towards you, it’s clear he doesn’t have any feelings left..."

"What do you mean no feelings!" In an instant, Liang Shiman roared, interrupting him, "If it weren’t for Gu Zixuan’s interference, he would still be in love with me! We would still be together! It’s because of Gu Zixuan’s appearance that things turned out this way! He is mine, the one I have my eyes on, and no one in this world should think they can steal him from me, Liang Shiman! I’ve even killed people, what do I have to fear doing?"

This obsessive and perverse sentiment made even Song Qingchen quite disapproving, but considering her cousin’s upbringing from age 3 to 10, he understood why she thought this way.

He said, "Alright, whatever you say goes. Our grand North family only came south to expand, to change our identity, those southerners really think they can bully us when the tiger is away from the mountains, they are sorely mistaken!"

The cruel remarks made Liang Shiman chuckle lightly.

The door slightly closed with a bewildering tremble.

Both Liang Shiman and Song Qingchen turned towards the direction of the door, realizing that someone had likely been eavesdropping earlier and recalling the words she had spoken earlier, "I’ve even killed people..."

Liang Shiman lifted her eyes toward Song Qingchen.

Understanding, Song Qingchen chuckled softly. She opened her handbag, took something out, opened the door, glanced at the mop head hastily thrown on the ground in panic, and, stepping on her high heels, slowly followed...

Outside Hua Fu International, inside the black Maybach.

Since getting into the car, Shen Jian妮 had been looking at He Qimo unsatisfied the whole way.

Until she sensed that He Qimo’s icy aura seemed to gradually fade from the moment they got in the car, Shen Jian妮 watched for a while longer, her eyes swirling with curiosity as she thought back to the scene where she was waiting by the restroom earlier.

After understanding things, she scooted a little closer to He Qimo, "Do you know who did this?"

He Qimo paused for a moment and shot a glance at the occasionally overly clever Shen Jian妮, snorted coldly, turned his head, and looked out the window, not answering.

Shen Jian妮 grew even more curious, glanced at Liang Xi, who was driving in front and seemed to have no qualms about anything, then thought about how during the time staying in the hotel together, judging by appearances, Feng Chengjin and Yu Yuanshen had been quite busy and yet despite the fresh wave of rumors outside, He Qimo stayed unmoved as if it had nothing to do with him. Or maybe he knows something and was just waiting. She asked again, "Since you know everything and have thoughts about it, why don’t you tell Feng Chengjin and Yu Yuanshen?"

After all, with things escalating to this extent, don’t they both love Gu Zixuan? Especially He Qimo, who loves her to such an extent, how can he just sit back and watch Gu Zixuan fall into one crisis after another?

Shen Jian妮 couldn’t understand.

After a moment’s pause, He Qimo cast a cold look over, "Why should I involve them in my affairs?"

Shen Jian妮 was momentarily stunned, not understanding.

He Qimo then let out a cold laugh, "Do you only see things on the surface? It’s easy to deal with the person, but what about the consequences?"

In an instant, Shen Jian妮, who had been mingling in society for a long time, understood, lifted her fingers, and said, "Oh, you’re saying the consequences of dealing with this person could be very significant, potentially involving personal safety. You fear they might suffer retaliation, and you want to preserve them, so you don’t want Feng Chengjin involved, nor do you want Gu Zixuan’s valued Yu Yuanshen to be implicated?"
