Chapter 3225 Shen Tianyu 625

Qin Heng quickly dodged, but some of the water still splashed onto him.

He raised his hand to brush the water droplets off his down jacket, gave Chi Ling the middle finger, and mouthed, "I despise you!"

Chi Ling put down the basin, twisted her right wrist, and a long needle appeared between her fingers, the needle being poisoned.

She held the long needle, waved it at Qin Heng, and made a motion as if to shoot it at him.

Qin Heng pointed to his heart, as if to say, "Go ahead and shoot."

Shoot here.

Chi Ling did not shoot.

Qin Heng raised an eyebrow. "Don't you dare?"

Chi Ling turned around, grabbed her phone, found Qin Heng's number, and typed a string of messages: "Scumbag, it's not that I'm afraid, it's that if I shoot you, you'll die! It's the New Year, if you die, I won't be able to leave!"

Qin Heng scoffed and replied: You probably don't have any cows in your village, right?

Chi Ling: Yes, you've blown away all the cows!

Qin Heng stared at his phone and smiled, replying: Go sleep with your cow, I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'm leaving.

Chi Ling: You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you still dare to call yourself a young master? Take a piss and look in the mirror!

Qin Heng typed as he walked, laughing as he typed.

He replied: You look quite like a woman, but you speak and act more vulgarly than a man. Can you use your piss as a mirror?

Chi Ling: No matter how much he resembles a man, he's still better than a central air conditioner.

Qin Heng: Central air conditioning can provide warmth, but you only bring heartache.

Chi Ling: I only stab the hearts of fickle, scumbag men!

She tossed her phone onto the bedside table and slammed her body onto the bed. Only then did she realize that men are not all the same. The ethereal, otherworldly man was unapproachable, while this man answered every question and even gave her the illusion that he was within reach.

The phone dinged.

Chi Ling reached for her phone and quickly opened the messages.

Qin Heng said: "I'm good to Yan Yan because I treat her like a younger sister. As for you, it's to prevent you from going out and committing crimes. How does that make me a heartless scumbag? You're the one who's cold-blooded. Don't mistake other people's kindness for being sentimental. You're delusional, a narcissist!"

Chi Ling was furious.

While I was getting angry, I suddenly laughed.

How could she be so presumptuous?

This morning, without telling her grandfather and mother, she rode a horse out of the Miao village, changed to a car and a plane, and traveled a long distance to Beijing. She then went to find Shangguan Teng, intending to beat him up to vent her mother's anger. However, in the middle of the night, she ended up flirting with Qin Heng and exchanging sweet nothings.

She thought, no wonder heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

It turns out that women also find it hard to resist handsome men.

She turned off the phone, removed the SIM card, and replaced it with her usual SIM card.

Missed calls and messages from my mother and grandfather flooded the screen, with my mother's most recent call coming just a minute ago.

Chi Ling dialed her mother Chi Yan's number and said, "Mom, I have some business to take care of in Kyoto. I'll be back tomorrow."

What do you need me for?

"Small things."

Chi Yan said, "Young Master Shen has already married Jinzhi, are you still not giving up on him?"

"It's not him, it's Shangguan Teng."

Chi Yan gripped her phone tightly, almost unable to breathe.

A beat later, she asked in a dry voice, "What do you want with him?"

“Someone sent me a message early this morning saying that Shangguan Teng is my biological father. You all kept it from me, letting me be fooled like a fool, being played around for years.”

Chi Yan's blood seemed to freeze, and her voice became hoarse, "You killed him?"

"Yeah, that scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter deserves to die!"

Chi Yan's face was contorted with pain. "Why were you so foolish? You're so foolish, Xiao Ling! He's not a scumbag, and he didn't want to abandon me. We're from different worlds, destined never to be together. He didn't know I was pregnant back then. Xiao Ling, is he really dead?"

Chi Ling coldly replied, "He's really dead."

Chi Yan's voice trembled as she hoarsely asked, "Where are you now? What happened to his body?"

"Do you want to call the police, Mama?"

Chi Yan closed her eyes, and her once beautiful face seemed to age ten years in an instant. "It's all my fault. Why didn't I explain it to you sooner? If I had explained it to you earlier, would you not have made this mistake?"

"It's no use explaining now, I'll still kill him. If he can't marry you, then don't take your body."

After hesitating for a long time, Chi Yan said in a hoarse voice, "Turn yourself in, Xiao Ling. Shangguan Teng is dead, and the Yuan family will not sit idly by. You can't escape. Turning yourself in might save you from the death penalty."

By the end, her voice was trembling with tears.

Seeing her cry, Chi Ling asked, "If only one of me and Shangguan Teng could live, who would Mother choose?"

"Of course it's you. You are my own flesh and blood. Men are always outsiders."

Chi Ling calmly asked, "Is the reason why Mother hasn't remarried is because of Shangguan Teng?"

"No. He's not that capable. I've never met anyone I want to marry. If I had, I definitely would have married him."

Chi Ling suddenly understood what Su Hua had said.

There are many more wonderful people and wonderful things waiting for her. She doesn't need to be upset by bad people and bad things, and she doesn't need to punish herself for other people's mistakes.

She was initially quite angry that Qin Heng had stopped her from dealing with Shangguan Teng.

I'm not so angry anymore.

He indirectly saved her; otherwise, she would be at the police station right now.

Chi Ling said, "Mom, Shangguan Teng is not dead."

Chi Yan couldn't tell which of her words were true and which were false. "Say it again."

“Shangguan Teng didn’t die. Yuan Shenzhi went with me and asked Qin Heng to help. That kid is incredibly strong. He forcibly took me to Gu Family Manor for New Year’s Eve dinner. I’m currently at a grandma’s house named Su Hua.”

Chi Yan frowned. "Really?"

“There’s no need to lie to you. If I really wanted to kill Shangguan Teng, no one could stop me. I would always have a chance to get rid of him, but… never mind, he’s not dead, so I won’t die either. Don’t worry, Mother.”

Chi Yan let out a long sigh, "You brat, how dare you play tricks on your mother."

“My mother tricked me too, so we're even.”

"Your grandfather and I have arrived in Kyoto. We just got off the plane and are looking for a hotel."

"Well, you should go to the hotel and rest early."

Just as Chi Yan was about to hang up, she heard Chi Ling say again, "Mom, are we people who raise Gu destined to be widowed, lonely, and die a tragic death?"

"Yes. If you marry someone like Young Master Shen, the outcome will be different. It will be very difficult with someone else."

Chi Ling's mind flashed to Qin Heng's young and handsome face.

She suppressed the thought, wondering to herself, "Why am I thinking about him?"

One central air conditioner, so many younger sisters.

The next morning.

Chi Ling got up.

The maid called her downstairs for breakfast.

Su Hua and Gu Beixian sat at the dining table, looking like a loving couple.

Yan Yan sat down next to Su Hua.

Chi Ling walked over and sat down opposite Yan Yan.

She looked at Yan Yan and said, "If you like that guy, you should tell him sooner rather than later. Don't keep quiet. He's so handsome, enthusiastic, and has a sweet tongue. If you don't make your move soon, he'll be snatched away by someone else."

Yan Yan thought of Qin Heng's enthusiasm for Chi Ling and Bai Ji.

She shook her head and lowered her head to drink her porridge.

Chi Ling pressed, "You really don't like it?"

Yan Yan pursed her lips and replied softly, "I don't like it."

"I'll ask you one last time: if you still don't like it, don't blame others for making a move."

Yan Yan held the spoon, staring blankly at the porridge in the bowl, wondering what Chi Ling meant by asking that question.

She and Qin Heng were clearly exchanging glances and flirting, so why was she asking this question to ease her psychological burden?

A beat late, she hummed in response.

Chi Ling stared at her face for a full two or three minutes.

She picked up her phone, dialed Yuan Jinzhi's number, and said, "Cousin, I want to stay in Kyoto to study. Is there still a chance?"
