Chapter 144 - Interrogation
To be honest though, I had no idea what I was doing!
I could feel the raging blood in my body. I was feeling faint from it.
"If I suddenly turn violent, you need to stop me. You can get me to calm down by telling me that Master Qi is coming." I explained to Su Shen and Su Qian with difficulty. This was also a mental preparation for myself.
I was also worried that I might not be able to remain sane. I kept telling myself. Calm down, calm down! You have to calm down! I am here to save Jing Ni, not to kill people! I have to remember that.
My nails pierced into my palms and the pain cleared my mind.
...
The Jing Family's butler was shocked when he saw me. Yes, I had only been to the Jing Family home once after my rebirth, it was the time when I came to 'surprise' Jing Yan. I was sure the people at the Jing Family remember me clearly.
"Second Miss Nan, are you here to look for young master?" The butler asked cautiously.
I pushed him away, "No, I'm looking for Jing Ni." Due to my memory from my previous life, I was very familiar with this place. I strode into the main house's lobby. Su Qing, Jing Yan, Lee Yang and Gu Yan were all there. Surprisingly Nanyang and Jing Ning weren't.
I couldn't care less and demanded from Su Qing, "Where is Jing Ni?"
Su Qing was startled when she saw me but then her face changed, "Why are you here? Who allowed you to come in? We don't welcome you here!"
I looked at her. "Where is Jing Ni? Where is she?"
Her eyes darted about before she sneered, "How would I know?"
I glared at her.
Jing Yan leaned on Lee Yang's body and said lazily. "Why would you come here to look for Jing Ni? You look like you've lost your husband. I have no idea you are so close to Jing Ni. Are you sure you two are not together. Ew, lezzies! Disgusting!"
I glanced at Jing Yan and Lee Yang who was frozen in place by Jing Yan. "How one perceives others is most often how one perceives oneself."
Jing Yan was furious. She was about to jump up but then at the last moment, she held herself and leaned deeper into Lee Yang. "I won't waste time arguing with trash like you. In any case, Jing Ni isn't here. Hasn't she already left the Jing Family? She doesn't want to be a part of the Jing family!"
Gu Yan chimed in. "Nanxing, how rude can you be? You barge into people's house and demand to know the location of someone who has already been kicked out from this family? People would assume you're a robber if you continue to act like this!" Gu Yan sounded so noble and mighty like a princess addressing a peasant. I felt so disgusted.
I turned to Su Qing. "I will ask you again. Where is Jing Ni and where is Auntie Bai Rui?"
Su Qing was so angry. "Do you know who you are talking to? How can a person be so uncultured? What does it matter to you where Jing Ni is? She is the miss of the Jing Family and not a bastard child who has no parents! She has a bright future ahead of her. As a member of the Jing Family, she is expected to follow the order of the Jing Family!"
"And what order is that?" I asked coldly.
Su Qing paused and said impatiently. "Why should I tell you? How is this your business? Let me tell you, you need to stay away from her. She is destined for greatness and wealth. She isn't a gangster like you!"
"Who are you going to marry her to?" I demanded coldly. I had caught clues in her words because Su Qing couldn't help gloating.
Su Qing probably didn't expect me to be so sensitive. She realized that she had misspoken so she rolled her eyes and kept quiet.
"She is going to marry a wealthy family from the capital. From now on, the two of you will be worlds apart. Trash!" Jing Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, finally couldn't help herself.
I took slow steps towards Jing Yan. She was holding a manicure knife in her hand as she trimmed her long and sharp nails. There was a disdainful smile on her beautiful lips.
"Who is this family from the capital?" I demanded word by word.
She rolled her eyes at me. "Why should I tell you? Hmph!" She leaned on Lee Yang's arm.
Lee Yang sat there like a dead man. His eyes were fixed on me. I couldn't tell his emotions, but his face was pale.
"Not telling me, are you?" I began gently.
Jing Yan huffed. "Begging me is not going to work either."
"Ah, what are you doing?" The next second, she screamed.
I had grabbed Lee Yang up from the couch. I turned him around and kneed him on his back. He knelt to the ground. Lee Yang groaned in pain but he didn't resist.
"What, what are you doing? Let him go, let him go now!" Jing Yan was ready to jump at me.
I grabbed the crystal ashtray from the table and aimed it at Lee Yang's head.
"Ah!" Jing Yan shielded her own head and screamed. "You gangster, let him go now!"
"Why should I?" I sneered at her.
Gu Yan scolded me. "Nanxing, how can you be so barbaric? Let Lee Yang go now, he is Master Wei Wu's nephew!"
