Chapter 1936: Where Am I Inferior to Her?

~7 min read 1,369 words

"You don't understand her; she is lovely and lacks those schemes, unlike you, whose face is hateful!"

Li Xingyan's defense made Sun Qing's heart feel as if it were being torn apart by force.

She was numb with pain, and unwillingly, she questioned: "What exactly is so good about her? In what way am I inferior to her!?"

"Just by virtue of the fact that I like her, you are inferior to her in every way."

Compared to Sun Qing's shrill desperation, Li Xingyan's tone was extremely flat.

Yet the lethality brought by this flatness was even greater.

Sun Qing even shed tears unconsciously.

These tears were real.

But tears were completely ineffective in front of Li Xingyan.

Of course, with the exception of Wei Yangyang.

When Wei Yangyang cried, Li Xingyan would be at a loss.

But if it were Sun Qing?

He couldn't even be bothered to look at her.

Li Xingyan's indifference caused the palpitations in Sun Qing's heart to vanish.

She turned instead to hating Li Xingyan...

Li Xingyan did not care whether she loved or hated him, and coldly warned: "Don't like me in the future, otherwise, you will pay the price."

Sun Qing's hand, hidden under the quilt, moved slightly.

Then she retorted: "I wonder, Mr. Li, how do you intend to deal with me?"

Li Xingyan did not answer, but instead gave Sun Qing a faint glance.

This glance made Sun Qing suddenly feel as if she had been seen through.

In fact, Li Xingyan had indeed noticed her small movements.

He said coldly: "I advise you, instead of having the energy to scheme against people, you should spend it on your career. You aren't young anymore, yet you are neither here nor there; I fear you will spend your whole life just as mediocre as this."

Li Xingyan was very skilled at attacking the heart.

And his roasting was also extremely precise.

Sun Qing was left covered in cuts and bruises by his provocation.

Just a moment ago, Sun Qing had wanted to seduce Li Xingyan and say some arrogant things.

That way,

she could blackmail Li Xingyan.

But before she could even begin, Sun Qing had failed.

Now, she was instead being mocked by Li Xingyan for her failed career...

Sun Qing wanted to refute him for herself.

But thinking about how she had no fame to speak of...

Sun Qing had nothing left to say.

While she was struggling, Li Xingyan walked out of the hospital room without a hint of attachment.

Sun Qing stiffly turned her head to look at his retreating back.

Then she choked out a murmur: "Li Xingyan, why do you have to treat me this way, why..."

At this moment, where was there even a shadow of the alluring Sun Qing?

The makeup on her face had long since been ruined by tears.

She was curled up in the quilt like a clown.

As for Li Xingyan, he was walking quickly down the corridor.

But then he suddenly stopped his steps.

Afterward, he tilted his head slightly, stared at a spot in the void, and barked: "Come out!"

Xiaolin cursed "Damn it" under his breath.

These days of low-difficulty tasks had made Xiaolin feel weary.

So much so that when Li Xingyan passed by him, he accidentally gave himself away.

Since he had been discovered, Xiaolin had no choice but to appear with a smile.

Li Xingyan, however, had no smile on his face.

He stared fixedly at Xiaolin and asked: "What are you doing?"

"Executing a mission."

"Arranged by Xie Wanyi?"

"Yes."

Li Xingyan was about to speak further.

But Xiaolin suddenly grabbed him and walked together into the place where he had just been hiding.

The next second, Sun Fuqing walked into the hospital room with hurried steps.

As soon as he entered, he heard screaming and angry rebukes coming from the room.

Sun Qing was venting all her anger onto Sun Fuqing.

Poor Sun Fuqing, who had exhausted his heart and mind for his daughter.

In the end, he received such treatment...

Li Xingyan silently sympathized with Sun Fuqing.

Yet in the next second, he asked Xiaolin: "Your..."

"The mission target, could it be Sun Qing?"

Xiaolin blinked, not saying a word.

And silence at a time like this was an admission.

Li Xingyan was somewhat surprised.

Thinking back to what Sun Qing had said, that Jiang Motian had come to the Hospital to warn her...

"What does this matter have to do with Tiantian?"

Xiaolin was startled by Li Xingyan's keenness.

Yet, not daring to say another word, he could only smile bitterly: "Mr. Li, I am just a small fry."

"You are no small fry, but the trusted aide of Xie Wanyi. He sent his trusted aide out to tail Sun Qing..."

Li Xingyan analyzed it to himself, then his eyes swept around, finally landing on Xiaolin.

That gaze, full of scrutiny, made Xiaolin's shoulders twitch.

At the same time, he secretly grew guarded.

But Li Xingyan did not do anything to Xiaolin; he merely gave him a meaningful look before leaving.

Once he left, Xiaolin let out a sigh of relief.

Then he tilted his head and murmured with interest: "So he likes Wei Yangyang, no wonder the two of them were eating one ice cream cone."

Wei Family—

On a sunny afternoon, it was usually the most beautiful time in the small garden.

But today, the flowers in the garden had suffered a disaster!

The branches that were originally lush and leafy were either bent, had lost their petals, or had been uprooted.

In short, it was a ghastly sight, a complete mess.

And the culprit, Jin Dou, was lying on the ground, head drooping, not moving at all.

Looking at everything before her, Wei Mama felt her heart bleeding!

Looking at Jin Dou, her breathing even became rapid.

Seeing this, Wei Yangyang hurriedly helped put in a good word: "Mama, Jin Dou knows it was wrong!"

"What use is knowing it's wrong? Can these flowers come back to life? No, get

someone to prepare Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon!"

Wei Yangyang knew that Mama was just speaking out of anger.

But Mama's anger was real.

So Wei Yangyang went along with Mama's words to soothe her: "Jin Dou is an old dog, its meat won't taste good; let it dig holes to bury flower seeds instead."

"How could it help? It only knows how to cause destruction, and besides, it was all corrupted by you; how could Jin Dou have been this crazy before!"

Actually, this incident really did have something to do with Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang had been bored and taught Jin Dou to play frisbee.

As a result, Jin Dou went crazy playing and ran around everywhere.

It even accidentally rushed into the garden, rolling around, digging holes, and biting the flowers...

Never mind Wei Mama, even Wei Yangyang felt the scene was too brutal.

Wei Yangyang felt very guilty; she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

Jin Dou also let out two "woof" sounds at this moment.

Although Wei Mama was angry, she wouldn't keep harping on this matter.

Especially looking at her daughter's pitiful little appearance...

Her anger also dissipated by half.

Finally, she waved her hand helplessly and said: "Forget it, forget it."

Wei Mama didn't want to pursue it anymore, but Wei Yangyang felt she should make up for it.

After thinking about it, she suggested: "I'll contact the flower farmer to replant some flowers you like."

"I'll contact them myself."

"Let me do it, consider it making amends."

"But you are still injured."

"My injuries are mostly healed; just let me do it."

As Wei Yangyang said this, she began to shake Wei Mama's sleeve.

Wei Mama was helpless and had to say: "Alright, alright, but you must not tire yourself out."

"Don't worry, Mama!"

After saying that, she energetically called for the servants to clean up the mess in the garden.

Watching her former hard work being treated like gar-

bage and taken away, Wei Mama felt truly uncomfortable.

So she only gave a few instructions before returning to her room.
