Chapter 465: Why Don't You Go Die

“I’ll check, the nearest hotel is the Royal Jin Palace.

Seafood for dinner?”

Nan Jiaojiao, satisfied, replied, “Good.”

Bo Yanching went to make arrangements while Nan Jiaojiao, holding a mug of hot milk, sat on a cushion with two soft pillows behind her, looking out through the glass window.

At half-past nine at night in Rongcheng City, the lights were brilliantly shining.

The landmark building to the northwest belonged to Bo’s and had a shopping center.

The beads rolling on the roof resembled luminous pearls in the night.

She heard the soft footsteps of a man in the living room.

Such peaceful times were nothing more.

But it happened that someone intended to disrupt this warmth.

Nan Jiaojiao received a call from Lin Shuyun, unexpectedly yet expectedly.

The caller began with a scolding, “What did you do to harm your sister?”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, “What did Ye Shiqing say?”

“You have the nerve to ask!

When I found Shiqing, she had almost fallen into Zhang Kun’s vile hands.

You’re her sister.

Not only do you not protect her, but you also collude with outsiders to bully her, wanting to ruin Shiqing entirely, aren’t you?

How could you be so heartless!”

All emotions on Nan Jiaojiao’s face darkened dramatically.

Lin Shuyun was still ranting, “If something had truly happened to Shiqing today, I would never forgive you.

When you were born, Heaven helped by having you taken away.

The thing I regret most in my life is not that I gave birth to you, but that I found you again.

Why don’t you just die!”

Nan Jiaojiao thought the Ye family members wouldn’t affect her much, but Lin Shuyun’s words still stirred up tumult in her heart.

What level of hatred must a mother reach to tell her own daughter, ‘Why don’t you just die’?

“What’s that got to do with me?

Zhang Kun wasn’t provoked by me.”

“So what!” Lin Shuyun said hatefully.

“Shiqing was willing to help you, and you should be grateful.

With the Ye family behind you, if Zhang Kun had really harmed you, the Ye family could then negotiate.

You don’t even see your own situation; even getting together with Zhang Kun is you reaching above your station.

Nan Jiaojiao, I don’t expect you to do anything for the Ye family, but at least try to be a decent person.

Always causing trouble, what are you trying to do!”

Nan Jiaojiao tried to ignore Lin Shuyun’s gritted teeth, soon calming down and saying softly, “So, I deserve to be ravaged?”

“Isn’t that right?

You want to compare yourself to Shiqing?

Do you know how much resources and effort I’ve put into raising Shiqing, something you could never match!”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed coldly several times, her heart chilled to the extreme, so even her laughter was suppressed deep inside, making no sound.

Lin Shuyun, however, thought her scolding was effective, having never held Nan Jiaojiao in high regard from the start to the end.

Having shouted enough, she commanded imperiously, “As for Zhang Kun, I’ve temporarily placated him.

You go and apologize to the Zhang family yourself tomorrow.

Clean up the mess you’ve created and, also, get rid of that mess on your face!”

The beeping drilled into her ears.

Nan Jiaojiao listened for a moment before setting the phone down.

Clasping her milk, which was no longer warm but not yet cool, it just didn’t taste as good.

On the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, the tall figure of a man was reflected.

Nan Jiaojiao turned around, and Bo Yanching looked at her deeply.

In just an instant, his lips lightly curled into a smile for her.

He came over, sat next to her, removed the pillows behind her, and held her in his arms.

The man glanced at the screen of the phone that hadn’t completely darkened yet.

He asked, “Whose call was that?”

Nan Jiaojiao, leaning against his chest, replied softly, “Lin Shuyun.”

Bo Yanching’s brow furrowed slightly, “What did she say?”
