Chapter 201: Great Men Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff
Gu Lanli had an expression of “just as I thought”: “I knew what kind of person Jiang Ning was before, and I even thought she had changed for the better, but in the end she became more and more excessive, doing things that are truly vicious, not even comparable to Wanyuan by half a bit!”
His tone was full of disgust, and the expression on his face was especially disdainful.
Xie Jingyan gave him a cold glare, smirking faintly: “You think your Wanyuan is some good person? Idiot.”
Gu Lanli couldn’t believe he was being cursed at, somewhat annoyed: “What do you mean? Don’t think that just because you’ve been recognized by the Lin Family I won’t dare to touch you. I won’t allow you to insult Wanyuan.”
Xie Jingyan sneered, merely tossing out one sentence: “Good thing Jiang Ning isn’t blind enough to fall for you.”
Gu Lanli was unconvinced: “You really think Jiang Ning fell for you and that’s why she hung around with you for a while? She just did it to piss me off! Once I turned back, she immediately dumped you. With just a few words from me, she could even get someone to beat you up badly. Heh, Xie Jingyan, you didn’t see her chasing after me like a lapdog, I couldn’t shake her off no matter what, she was just short of lying in bed and willingly letting me sleep with her.” He sneered disdainfully: “For a person like her, even if she threw herself at me, I wouldn’t want her.”
Xie Jingyan hadn’t even moved yet when the usually mild-mannered Jiang Yan pounced at Gu Lanli like a wolf cub, his two hands tightly grabbing his collar and tackling him to the ground.
Veins bulged on the back of Jiang Yan’s hands, his pair of eyes glaring deadly at him: “Don’t you dare insult her.”
Gu Lanli struggled for a bit and found that although Jiang Yan looked slim, his strength was shockingly great. He flushed red with embarrassment, neck thick, looking at the gritted-teeth Jiang Yan: “You fucking let go of me! I didn’t say anything wrong, she is vicious, she is disgusting, and she even staged her own kidnapping play to make me bring the ransom to save her. Hasn’t the Jiang Family gone bankrupt? Does she really need to scam me out of so much money? She’s gone crazy poor!”
Jiang Yan gritted his teeth hard, his heart filled with anger: “If you don’t like her, then why did you agree to her.”
Gu Lanli sneered: “Are you standing up for her? Have you forgotten how Jiang Ning treated you? She kicked you out of the Jiang Family, not allowing you to step into the villa even once. For a person like that, why are you still siding with her? Are you fucking crazy?”
“I don’t care!” Jiang Yan almost roared it out, his voice trembling slightly: “I don’t care what she did to me, because she is my sister. As long as she is fine, it doesn’t matter if we never see each other for a lifetime, but what right do you have to insult her like this… You don’t deserve anyone’s love at all.”
Gu Lanli was left speechless by the retort.
Xie Jingyan saw that Jiang Yan had probably vented enough.
He then spoke faintly: “We should go. What if we’re late and both of them are dead?”
Jiang Yan calmed his mood and, carrying the antique in his hand worth millions, followed Xie Jingyan out.
Gu Lanli sat up, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.
The current Jiang Family, in everyone’s eyes, was just a hot potato that no one wanted to touch.
He had originally wanted to take in Jiang Ning, but who knew she would end up making such a fuss, so let her reap what she sowed—he wasn’t going to indulge her.
He stood up, brushing the fallen leaves and dust off his clothes, and reluctantly followed after Jiang Yan and the other two.
……
“Miss Su, all three of them have arrived.”
The tall kidnapper ran over to report the news.
The short kidnapper said: “Shall we tie the rope on you now? Don’t give it away.”
Su Wanyuan looked at her own face in the mirror, gritted her teeth, and gave herself two slaps. The “smack smack” sounds made the three nearby kidnappers feel the sting.
Su Wanyuan used enough force, her face instantly swelling up. Her long nails accidentally scratched her cheek, drawing a line of blood.
She reached out to the three kidnappers: “Give me a knife.”
The three weren’t the type to do murder anyway; usually they just fooled around with women and stole some things, and even that was only because Su Wanyuan’s money tempted them to take the risk. Forget about carrying knives to kill—they didn’t even dare kill a chicken.
Hearing Su Wanyuan ask for a knife, the three huddled together in fear: “Miss Su, we never said we really had to kill the Jiang miss next door. Can’t we just make her accidentally fall off the cliff later?”
Su Wanyuan rolled eyes: “I have a use for it. Give me the knife.”
The tall kidnapper then gave the knife to Su Wanyuan.
She looked at the sharp knife, did some mental preparation, and then cut a gash on her shoulder.
Blood instantly surged out, staining red the white clothes on her body.
Su Wanyuan threw the knife on the ground: “You can tie me up now. Hang me on the cliff edge. After all three of them choose me, then throw Jiang Ning down. Can you handle this much?”
The three nodded solemnly: “Yes… but will they call the police?”
Su Wanyuan snapped lowly: “Don’t you know to hide abroad? Lay low for a few years and come back. Besides, with Jiang Ning dead, everyone will be happy—no one will call the police.”
The three kidnappers immediately felt relieved.
The short kidnapper went to bring Jiang Ning out.
Jiang Ning was shoved out forcefully.
Suddenly hit by the intense light, Jiang Ning instinctively squinted her eyes.
When she was a soul body, she couldn’t feel light at all, even under the sun—it had no effect on her.
The sunlight at the end of February was strong but not very warm; the wind blowing over was still cold.
From another house, Su Wanyuan was also brought out tied up.
Seeing her cheek red and swollen, the bloodstains on her clothes already congealed, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh: “Those who achieve great things don’t quibble over trifles. You’re really this ruthless to yourself too.”
Su Wanyuan could naturally hear the mockery in Jiang Ning’s words.
She slightly curved her lips: “I just want you to see that even after all your efforts, you’re still not liked by anyone. Xie Jingyan is here too. I heard about Xie He. Jiang Ning, he wishes you were dead.”
Jiang Ning’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She curved her eyes and hooked her red lips into a smile: “Even if he hates me, it won’t make me lose a piece of flesh. He can hate me if he wants—I can’t control that.”
Su Wanyuan truly hated Jiang Ning’s calm attitude.
It was as if she wasn’t on a dangerous cliff, but at an amusement park.
This was completely different from that sobbing idiot from yesterday.
Su Wanyuan gave her a deep look: “I thought you’d cry like you did yesterday.”
Jiang Ning yawned and spat out two words: “Boring.”
They had chosen this place well—it was right on a cliff. Jiang Ning stood at the edge and glanced down; she couldn’t see the bottom. Not a thousand meters, but several hundred meters for sure.
The two were each tied to wooden posts, watched over separately by the tall and short kidnappers, while the skinny kidnapper handled the negotiations.
To prevent Jiang Ning from talking nonsense, they also taped her mouth with tape.
Su Wanyuan just had a clean cloth strip stuffed in, which she could push out with her tongue.
Jiang Ning found their acting so clumsy it was hilarious.
Little Honey: 【Host, endure it a bit, you can go home soon.】
Little Honey’s voice rang in Jiang Ning’s mind. It was afraid she was scared, so it came to comfort her.
