Chapter 358: Do as you wish with her

~3 min read 538 words

Chris is right; acting rashly now will only waste all the effort they've put in so far.

So we must endure.

347's tense body relaxed considerably.

As long as Qiana doesn't act against Xiwan now, it's fine.

He can endure.

After Xiwan let go of her hand, she heard Qiana's sarcastic remarks again.

"Chris won't spare you for life; someday the Fu family will have to pay the price."

Qiana's face suddenly showed a gentle smile, as if she had thought of something wonderful.

"I heard you have a pair of children, and they're twins." Qiana's smile deepened, because she clearly saw the panic on Xiwan's face.

This was the first time she had seen fear on Xiwan's face.

Xiwan shouted, "The children are innocent."

Reason flickered in Qiana's eyes, "Even if they're innocent, it doesn't change the fact that they carry Fu family blood."

"The sins of the Fu family cannot be repaid even with all your lives."

She said it in a cruel tone, savoring the panic and fear on Xiwan's face.

Qiana felt even more excited by Xiwan's panic.

All this stems from the flame of revenge deep within her heart.

"Just as I said before..."

347 interrupted Qiana, "The boss said we mustn't let anything happen to her before the inspector arrives to check the goods."

"She has a heart condition."

This is what Xiwan said herself, though its truth remains to be verified.

But in an emergency, the only thing likely to make Qiana shut up is Chris's order.

Even after being dissuaded, Qiana still didn't intend to let Xiwan go, and before leaving she threw out a harsh remark.

"You keep saying you rely on yourself, yet now you need to rely on a stranger man to save your life—what's your mindset?"

347's advice seemed to have no effect on her; Qiana still did as she pleased.

Until a cold voice sounded at the door.

"The receiver has come; take her out."

Xiwan finally managed to escape Qiana's torment.

Her palms were drenched in sweat from gripping, and Xiwan grew afraid of Qiana's threats.

How could she not be afraid? People like them don't even spare their own lives, let alone her, who's been targeted by Qiana, not to mention a true Fu family descendant.

Xiwan looked at Chris as if he were a lifeline, even desperate enough to beg him.

Chris raised his hand at the woman sitting on the sofa, "The person you want has already been brought here."

Hearing that, Si Jiuyin raised her head, looked at Xiwan, and let out a scoff, "I thought it would be harder."

She walked over, circled Xiwan once, confirmed she was unharmed, then gave Chris a satisfied nod.

"Since you're already seated, I'll send the money later; I'll take the person—"

"Don't rush; you can't take the person now, because news that Fu Sijue is looking for her is spreading everywhere—if something happens to her, none of us can escape, especially you."

Chris extended his slender fingers, his tone flat.

Si Jiuyin raised her voice, "You just want me to look at her?"

Chris shook his head, "In this villa, you can do whatever you want with her, but she can't leave."
