Chapter 1220 - 1240: Still Unable to Love You
Xia Xiaonuan closed her eyes helplessly.A bitter smile curled at the corners of her lips.
"Nangong Zhongli, even if I have nothing, even if I die, if Shaochen doesn’t love you, he still won’t love you! What’s the point in doing all this? You will only make the man you love get further and further away from you. Do you really think Shaochen would fall for a ruthless and cunning woman?"
"Enough!" Nangong Zhongli shouted.
"Ruthless? Cunning? Wasn’t all this forced upon me by you, Xia Qiqi?" Nangong Zhongli pointed at her, biting her teeth, "Back then, before you appeared, I was also gentle and ladylike! In front of Shaochen, I could also be at peace with the world!
But it’s because of you! The moment you appeared, everything changed! Xia Qiqi... why don’t you just die! It’s you who should die!"
As Nangong Zhongli spoke, she reached out her hand to choke Xiaonuan’s neck.
Xia Xiaonuan’s neck was grabbed, making it impossible for her to breathe. She retreated step by step towards the window.
"Xia Xiaonuan, I’ll choke you to death! Only when you’re dead... will Shaochen truly be mine..." Nangong Zhongli said madly, gritting her teeth.
Xia Xiaonuan struggled; already frail, she soon lost strength.
Her vision started to blur, and just at that moment, a shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Young Madam! Nangong Zhongli, are you crazy? Let her go...!"
Qin Yi saw this scene from a distance and charged in shouting.
Nangong Zhongli regained her senses; she had almost lost control. Qin Yi’s shout made her shiver, and she let go of Xiaonuan.
Xia Xiaonuan clutched her neck, coughing, and fell to the ground.
Qin Yi quickly pushed Nangong Zhongli aside and helped up Xia Xiaonuan. "Young Madam, are you alright?"
Xia Xiaonuan, supported by him, took a long time to come to her senses.
Looking at Qin Yi, "I’m fine..."
Qin Yi turned to stare at the stunned Nangong Zhongli nearby.
"Are you crazy? You could kill someone like this!"
Nangong Zhongli looked at Qin Yi, tears flowing from her eyes, pointing at him. "Qin Yi! Why are you still helping her? This woman, she deserves to die!"
Qin Yi looked at the almost deranged Nangong Zhongli, his body trembling.
He rushed in disbelief to Nangong Zhongli’s face: "Nangong Zhongli, wake up! The Young Madam has never wronged you! You’ve just been repeatedly hurting her! Mr. Liang is already with you, what more do you want? The Young Madam just lost her child, do you really want someone else’s life to end before you stop? Do you think Young Master will forgive you?"
Nangong Zhongli looked at Qin Yi.
Suddenly, she burst into laughter.
She laughed and cried at the same time.
She reached out her hand, pointing to Xia Xiaonuan.
"What did you say? She hasn’t wronged me? Qin Yi, you fool! She not only wronged me, she wronged you too!
Back then... if it wasn’t for her, how would I have fallen down the stairs and lost our child? If not for her, how would I have ended up like this today?
She caused it all! Qin Yi... and now you’re defending the woman who killed your child?!"
Xia Xiaonuan, leaning against the window, looked at Nangong Zhongli in disbelief.
"Zhongli... what nonsense are you talking?"
"Am I wrong? If it wasn’t for you and Shaochen’s entanglement back then, how would I have fallen down the stairs?"
