Chapter 223: Collect Your Own Debt l

Zhou Luhe couldn’t remember how many times she had begged, nor how many times she had kowtowed to Su Hongxing. She only knew that if Su Hongxing didn’t speak up this time, her fate would be grim.

Three whole hours passed, Zhou Luhe’s scalp was bleeding from all the kowtowing, combined with the pain in her mouth, she couldn’t bear it anymore and fell unconscious in front of Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan.

Cao Shiyu’s knees had also lost sensation from kneeling for so long. Seeing Zhou Luhe faint, she wanted to beg Ye Qilan for mercy, but she was afraid that Su Hongxing would transfer her hatred for Zhou Luhe onto her.

This time, she had learned her lesson. She absolutely couldn’t provoke Su Hongxing at this critical moment.

At this point, Ye Qilan’s actions were completely driven by Su Hongxing’s attitudes, completely disregarding everyone else, including his fiance.

This was the capability of Su Hongxing.

Seeing Zhou Luhe faint on the ground, Su Hongxing stood up and said, “Enough of this, let’s go.”

“You plan to let her off just like that?” Ye Qilan asked Su Hongxing in disbelief.

For someone as malicious as Zhou Luhe, summoning a dozen men to gang-rape her would be the only way to calm his anger.

“Yeah, what else would I do? Kill her?” Su Hongxing chuckled. She took Ye Qilan’s hand and spoke softly, “I don’t want your hands to be stained with blood because of me.”

Shouldn’t Ye Qilan be more affectionate towards her as she cared for him in such a way?

Moreover Zhou Luhe shouldn’t be stripped of all her teeth. After all, her wedding was coming soon.

The subsequent wedding drama was the key point. If Zhou Luhe completely fell today, there would be one less female lead in that drama, which would be unprofitable.

Ye Qilan stared at Su Hongxing intently, seeking signs of pretense on her face.

Although she clearly hated him, she was concerned about whether his hand was stained with blood, he couldn’t help feeling suspicious.

“I will deal with my own debts,” Su Hongxing understood that Ye Qilan was being skeptical again, she added another line.

“From now on, you can rely on me,” said Ye Qilan, as he held her hand tightly.

He had nothing else, but his family background was good, he didn’t lack money or power. He knew these were good things. Now he realized more than ever, how attractive power was.

Who doesn’t want to stand at the pinnacle and look down at everything?

“You are about to get married, how can I rely on you? In this world, the most reliable person is oneself. Ye Si, don’t you think so?” Su Hongxing asked with a smile.

Ye Qilan looked at her smiling face and suddenly felt a tightening around his heart.

He unconsciously squeezed her palm, wanting to tell her that he didn’t want to get married anymore, he only wanted her.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything.

As she said, he couldn’t make promises he couldn’t keep, he couldn’t give her any more empty checks.

“You don’t need to feel burdened because of me. All men love power, look at Xiao Ji. He once promised me a bright future. At that time, I believed that anyone could betray me, but not him. In the end, he chose Zhou Luhe who could help him rise to power. He could change a decade-long relationship so easily, how long have I known you? Your choice to marry Cao Shiyu over me is a rational and wise decision, I have no right to blame you. However…”

If only he could be less greedy and while choosing Cao Shiyu, let her go, she might not hate him as much as she does now.

But Ye Qilan wanted this and that, and he acted as if it was perfectly reasonable. This left her infuriated…

My heart is so heavy that I can’t write anymore. Please forgive me, today I only managed to write three chapters, please try to get by with these.
