Song Family.
Song Wanqiu paced uneasily back and forth in the living room.
Suddenly, her phone rang, and to her surprise, it was a video call from Liu Xinna.
After much hesitation, she still answered.
On the screen, Liu Xinna appeared covered in mud and grime, looking exceptionally disheveled.
While driving, she moved her face closer to her phone.
Her sanguine eyes magnified several times over, scaring Song Wanqiu into stepping back.
"Wanqiu, my parents want to send me abroad. You have to plead with Third Young Master on my behalf, please help my family! I beg you!"
So it was a plea for mercy.
Song Wanqiu sat upright, her slender neck tilting back slightly, devoid of her usual sycophantic demeanor.
"Xinna, I’m sorry, but with your family in this state, I can’t help."
"What do you mean? Back then, I helped you gain face in front of Old Mr. Gong, and now you want to betray me? Besides, it’s because of you that I went to kidnap Lin Zhiyi!"
Liu Xinna’s voice howled, her broken voice trembling.
Now that the Liu Family had fallen from grace, Song Wanqiu didn’t want to draw fire to herself and no longer bothered to pretend.
She replied disdainfully, "Liu Xinna, don’t make unfounded claims. I never told you to kidnap Lin Zhiyi. Don’t just say things without evidence."
"You!" Liu Xinna’s eyes widened in fury, "So the video is real, you and Li He..."
Song Wanqiu lazily leaned back against the cushion, chuckling, "Yes, we’ve been together a long time. Li He says you’re really annoying, and if it weren’t for the chance to see me, he wouldn’t bother attending events that you’re at."
"Bitch! You two adulterers! I’m going to tell Third Young Master!" Liu Xinna shrieked with rage.
"Go ahead, do you think you’re still the noble lady you once were? Right now you’re nothing but a drowning dog that everyone wants to hit. Who would believe what you say? You’re stupid!"
Song Wanqiu had been wanting to say those words for a long time.
Liu Xinna slammed her hands against the steering wheel, cursing sharply, "Song Wanqiu! You won’t die a good death! I won’t let you go... Ah!"
With a scream, Liu Xinna’s car began to flip, and with a thud, it seemed to crash into something.
The phone camera pointed at the empty car ceiling for a long time without moving.
Song Wanqiu clutched her phone tightly, her chest panicked, and she instinctively pulled the phone closer.
Suddenly, a face smeared with blood appeared on the screen, staring dead at Song Wanqiu with wide eyes.
Startled, Song Wanqiu threw the phone to the ground.
The screen faced up, Liu Xinna’s pupils slowly dilating, but her mouth still muttered.
"Song, Song Wanqiu, I’ll be waiting for you..."
"Ah!"
...
Hospital.
After treatment, Lin Zhiyi was fully cleared to be discharged.
Liu He was still worried about her and had specifically come to pick her up, bringing news as well.
"Liu Xinna died in a car crash. They say she was on the phone while driving and accidentally crashed off an overpass, her lower body crushed... I won’t say more, just the thought is terrifying."
"Dead? Just like that?"
Lin Zhiyi paused in the act of packing her things, finding it slightly unbelievable.
Liu He cut in immediately, "Who cares! It’s over and done with."
Lin Zhiyi saw Liu He’s concern and didn’t ask further.
But in her heart, she knew clearly that Liu Xinna’s death was merely a closure.
Thinking back, her insistence on opposing Liu Xinna, even with her victory,
brought no real harm to the Liu Family, the Gong Family, or Song Wanqiu.
Instead, it made her the thorn in someone else’s side.
However... Who really brought down the Liu Family in her past and present lives?
Lin Zhiyi racked her brain but couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Lost in thought, Liu He picked up her bag.
"Zhiyi, do you want to say goodbye to Li Huan? He has taken good care of you these last few days."
