Chapter 655 - 657: You Should Stop Deluding Yourself
So... she came for Liang Shaochen.
Qin Yi’s hand, placed to the side, clenched slightly.
"Miss Zhong Li, if it’s about something else, Qin Yi would gladly help you. But for this matter, I’m really not in charge. I’m very sorry..."
Nangong Zhongli glared at him angrily: "What do you mean? Weren’t you just saying that you would help me? And now you reject me as soon as I mention it!"
"For this matter, I think Young Master will have his own judgment. He should release Mr. Liang in a few days!"
"A few days? How many days is a few days?!" Nangong Zhongli exclaimed in agitation, "The Liang Group is in chaos, and Shaochen is missing. Also, what if your people are mistreating him? Shaochen already has a bad stomach. If he doesn’t eat properly, his stomach problems will flare up again. And..."
"Miss Zhong Li." Qin Yi interrupted her coldly, "Rest assured, Young Master is not a sadist, let alone Mr. Liang is his friend. He is in good condition now, you don’t need to worry so much!"
"How can I not worry!" Nangong Zhongli put the milk ball on the sofa, stood up, and walked over to Qin Yi: "If he’s fine, then why don’t you allow him to use the phone? How can I believe what you’re saying?"
Qin Yi’s hand clenched on his leg, his knuckles making popping sounds.
His face became increasingly unsightly. After a few seconds of silence, he made an effort to calm himself down, stood up, and looked at Nangong Zhongli before him, calmly saying:
"If you’re only here for this matter, I’m truly sorry! I can help with other things, but I really can’t do anything about this!"
"Why can you help with other things but not this one? I think you’re just jealous of him, that’s why you refuse to help me!" Nangong Zhongli was furious, glaring at Qin Yi, blurting out the words without thinking.
Qin Yi looked at her, his emotions suddenly a bit out of control.
"Yes! I am jealous, so what?" He stared at her and shouted, "Nangong Zhongli, he doesn’t love you at all. Is it worth it for you to do these things for him?! Do you think that by risking yourself to save him, he will look at you differently? That he will fall in love with you?!"
Nangong Zhongli was taken aback by his sudden outburst, her eyes widened in anger as she stared at Qin Yi.
"Sorry... I..." Qin Yi, calming down a bit, realized what he had just done.
He didn’t know what came over him. He had always been calm and composed in the face of anything, but just then, hearing Nangong Zhongli constantly talking about that other man, made his mind go blank with fury, driven by jealousy, he lost control and lashed out at Zhong Li.
A flicker of regret crossed his face.
"Smack!" Nangong Zhongli suddenly reached out and gave Qin Yi a hard slap across the face.
Tears burst from her eyes.
"Yes, he doesn’t love me, so what? I love him, and I’m willing to save him! If something happens to him, I would even be willing to die for him! Qin Yi, even you dare to mock me, don’t you? Let me tell you, I just love Liang Shaochen, and in this life, I will marry no one but him!
Stop dreaming, there’s no possibility between you and me!"
Qin Yi’s body shook violently.
He looked at Nangong Zhongli, at the tears on her face, at her accusatory and agitated gaze, for a moment, he stood there dumbfounded.
Her words hit him hard.
Nangong Zhongli wiped the tears off her face, picked up her Hermes handbag, turned around, and strode towards the door.
However, after just a few steps, her expression changed slightly.
