Chapter 99: Would She Give Up for Yu Ye?

"He last night..." Qin Jiao Jiao said, tears falling, sobbing, "He was still saying he doesn't want to live, wants to kill himself!"

At this, Song Huan Yan was indeed stunned for a moment.

She felt... somewhat surprised.

Qin Zi Mo's personality is always cheerful, not like someone who would talk about suicide.

Heh.

Seems it's still quite a blow?

Is it just an act or real?

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

In a few months, the blow will be even heavier.

Song Huan Yan, with an indifferent cold face, said, "It's none of my business. If he wants to die, let him die; no need to tell me on purpose."

Qin Jiao Jiao immediately stopped crying and, agitated, said, "You... how can you be like this? After years of dating and even getting engaged, you really don't care about my brother's life or death! Even if he's an ex‑boyfriend, even if you won't get back together, you shouldn't be indifferent to life and death, right? You're so cold! You used to love him so much!"

Qin Jiao Jiao stared at Song Huan Yan, agitated.

Yes, she clearly remembered that when Song Huan Yan was with Qin Zi Mo before, she was very gentle.

Although she was very aloof, she said "good" to everything.

When she looked at Qin Zi Mo, her eyes also held that gentle, bright light.

But now...

She is not only indifferent but also ruthless.

Song Huan Yan said nothing, too lazy to answer her at all.

Seeing her silent, Qin Jiao Jiao said, "President Song, I beg you, could you go see my brother? He's now lying in bed unable to get up! You suddenly... inexplicably... got married, which is a fatal blow to him! Can you go with me now to see him?"

Facing Qin Jiao Jiao's humble plea, Song Huan Yan replied with two words, "Not going."

Qin Jiao Jiao frowned, tears falling, staring tightly at her, "Is it because you latched onto that powerful man that you dumped my brother on the Engagement day?"

Song Huan Yan looked at her, "Think whatever you want. Anyway, you can say whatever you like, however you want."

Her attitude made Qin Jiao Jiao unable to hold back her anger, and she said, "You're so cruel! Playing people like this! I've investigated; Nan Gong Yu was once in a Marriage Alliance with the Cold Family's Eldest Daughter, and he never had his eyes on you. That's why you dated my brother. Later Nan Gong Yu broke off the alliance with the Leng Family, and you, for money and power, latched onto him again, so you dumped my brother. Now you don't even care about his life or death! Song Huan Yan, how can you be so ruthless?"

"Ruthless?" Song Huan Yan sneered, then said, "If I had agreed early to a Marriage Alliance with the Nan Gong family, what would that have to do with your brother? Don't you know my family has always been on good terms with the Nan Gong family?"

Qin Jiao Jiao was choked for a moment and asked, "Then did you truly love my brother? From what you're saying, you wouldn't have given up a Marriage Alliance for my brother before, would you?"

Song Huan Yan gave no answer.

Qin Jiao Jiao added, "Since you truly loved him, why did you dump him over a single sentence? No matter how I beg you, you're unmoved. Did you really love him, or are you afraid of others criticizing you for playing people, so you refuse to admit you never loved him?"

When Song Huan Yan heard her questions and thought of all that, she felt disgusted.

She really didn't want to admit she had ever loved.

Because it's too disgusting.

She said, "I don't want to bring up the past."

Then she added, "You may leave. But let me remind you, the affairs of the three of you are still under my control, so think carefully before coming to talk to me. Don't go crazy at the drop of a hat and cause a scene in my office with your emotions."

Qin Jiao Jiao was stunned.

Song Huan Yan continued, "This is the CEO's office, not a vegetable market. Whoever wants to go crazy here, come to me."

She kept a cold face, her tone severe, clearly angry.

Qin Jiao Jiao also wore a dark face, but when she thought that indeed her and Li Zihang, Qin Zi Mo's futures were in Song Huan Yan's hands, she fell silent.

She could only endure, stood up, and said, "Since... you don't want to see my brother, I'm leaving."

Song Huan Yan ignored her; Qin Jiao Jiao's self‑inflicted embarrassment left her with no choice but to leave.

As she left, Sang Wan said, "Tsk, really knocked down by a blow? Is it an act?"

Song Huan Yan shook her head, "Unclear."

But last night, watching Qin Zi Mo, his condition was extremely poor.

However, it has nothing to do with her.

She only hopes he gets even worse!

Sang Wan said, "Who cares, it's disgusting. By the way, what happened to those girls last night? The short‑haired little scoundrel I smashed with a bottle—has she come to settle the score? Should I go find someone to deal with it first?"

Song Huan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Probably not needed; Yu Ye's people should have dealt with it."

Sang Wan raised an eyebrow, "Last night it was that Nan Gong Jue's henchman again, actually having to apologize on behalf of Qiao An. Otherwise, Qiao An definitely wouldn't have escaped! Were those girls still subjected to Forced Drinking?"

"Hmm," Song Huan Yan nodded, "Nan Gong Jue called Yu Ye, trying to waive the Forced Drinking. However... Yu Ye got angry, so the original decision was upheld."

"Hahaha," Sang Wan laughed, "Serves them right! So arrogant last night. But it's a pity Qiao An got away. Sigh, never expected that Big Turtle was actually Nan Gong Jue. By the way, have you told Yu Ye yet?"

Song Huan Yan shook her head, "Not yet."

Sang Wan widened his eyes, "Not planning to tell?"

Song Huan Yan said, "I will definitely tell, but I haven't figured out how yet."

After that, she kept a composed face and added, "I'll definitely say it tonight."

"Hmm," Sang Wan nodded.

She and Song Huan Yan were on the same page; this matter involved Nan Gong Jue.

Later, if according to Song Huan Yan's plan to disgrace Qiao An, would Nan Gong Jue, to preserve his own face, try to block it?

After all, he not only has a Marriage Alliance, but is also quite favored.

By then, that face would indeed... look rather bad.

But he's Nan Gong Yu's younger brother; if he blocks it, or even asks to keep it from being exposed...

What should Song Huan Yan do then?

Should this face be given or not?

If we give it, then Song Huan Yan's plan… would only be aborted midway.

If we don't give it… will the relationship with the husband's family become hard to get along with later?

Whether the Nan Gong Marquis will hold a grudge against Song Huan Yan because of this is also uncertain.

Moreover… if Song Huan Yan doesn't give Nan Gong Marquis face, what if Nan Gong Marquis asks Nan Gong Yu to intercede on his behalf, demanding that Qiao An not be exposed?

If the husband himself steps in, will Song Huan Yan give him face?

This really gives one a headache.

The important thing is, if Qiao An cannot be exposed, then… Qin Zi Mo also cannot be exposed?

After all, the two are of the same breath and linked like branches.

Even if the evidence blurs Qiao An, would Qin Zi Mo use that as a pretext to accuse Song Huan Yan of fabricating rumors?

If they demand that Song Huan Yan must disclose another person, otherwise it's a fabrication, what can be done?

After all, if they truly expose only Qin Zi Mo, he will reach that point and certainly pull Qiao An down with him.

When one is reduced to broken bones and a ruined reputation, who wouldn't want a few more sacrificial companions?

Sang Wan thought a lot, and Song Huan Yan also knit her brows, remaining silent.

The two of them thought the same.

A moment later, Sang Wan straightforwardly asked, "Yan Yan, if… Lord Nan Gong Yu steps in to plead for not exposing Qiao An, would you give him that face?"

If that's the case, then… we can only swallow this bitterness.

If we don't expose the two, we can just deal with them privately.

Dealing with the two here in Kyoto is already a very simple matter.

The reason we let the two stumble now is for the Pong Kill Plan.

People… have been on cloud nine, enjoyed boundless splendor, endless flattery, money and fame within reach, and flowers of praise swarming in.

Then… falling to the deepest abyss, that's truly unbearable pain.

Now dealing with it… can be dealt with.

But that's all it is—just dealing with it.

It cannot let them taste the gap and regret from heaven to hell, and that is not enough!

Indeed not enough…!

Being asked that by Sang Wan, Song Huan Yan was taken aback.

She then reached out to rub her forehead, "I don't know. I need time to think."

"Hmm." Sang Wan nodded, "Then just consider it. But we don't know what stage Qiao An and Nan Gong Marquis have reached? From last night it seemed Qiao An definitely wants to marry into the Nan Gong family, that's indisputable. Even if she is secretly involved with Qin Zi Mo, she wouldn't give up this cross‑class opportunity. Does Nan Gong Marquis like her? Why is he so nice to her?"

Song Huan Yan lifted her eyes, "I heard last time that it was a childhood White Moonlight, so it must be that she liked him. But the specifics are unclear. The stage they're at is also unclear, but Qiao An still needs to have an abortion first and then get a membrane, so she probably won't have sex."

Speaking of that, Song Huan Yan's hand couldn't help but clench.

When it comes to this, she… still cannot restrain her anger.

Sang Wan was speechless for a moment, then said, "I hope it's not some kind of life‑saving favor? I didn't expect Qiao An to have such shitty luck. But it's really a pity. If she weren't a scumbag, this Marriage Alliance would have been solid happiness, but scumbags don't deserve it!"

Song Huan Yan nodded.

Sang Wan added, "Even if they didn't make love, just kissing… makes me feel sick just thinking about it. If Qiao An, after accepting the Marriage Alliance, still secretly stays with Qin Zi Mo, that would be even more disgusting, especially since she has… in her belly."

"Stop talking," Song Huan Yan said, "I'll miss lunch later."

Sang Wan raised an eyebrow, "Alright. But Nan Gong Marquis is really unlucky. To have such a White Moonlight thing."

Song Huan Yan took a deep breath and said nothing.

After a long silence, she then said, "I think… I probably won't abandon my plan… no matter who steps forward to plead… I don't want to give up."

She said those words with some difficulty.

It seemed she wasn't saying it for Sang Wan to hear, but… for herself.

Sang Wan slightly furrowed her brows, her tone also grew heavier, "Whatever you do, I will support. So, have you decided? Even if Lord Nan Gong Yu steps in, you still won't give up? Even if that creates a rift between you two? Or perhaps if Lord Nan Gong Yu cannot step in, Nan Gong Marquis will have Aunt Gu intervene. In that case…"

Sang Wan didn't continue with the rest.

Thus, Song Huan Yan's position in the husband's family is hard to say; it might become very awkward and subtle.

Sang Wan changed tack, saying, "If they insist on preventing you from exposing them, will you really let that pair of scumbags make your otherwise happy marriage uncertain? Yan Yan, you should think more about which is more important. Don't lose the more important people and things because of something disgusting."

After finishing, Sang Wan was actually quite upset inside.

After all… we've been scheming for over a month, investing resources, and even Qin Jiao Jiao received resources.

This past month, regarding these disgusting people, it's basically been a constant "letting them be" situation.

All these concessions are for the Pong Kill Plan.

But if it truly is forced to be aborted, that really makes one… a bit upset.
