Chapter 533: 532: Are you back to divorce? (Third update)

Having finished their discussion…

Zhizhi Song and Zhidao Song left.

Leng Wanqing watched Zhizhi Song’s retreating figure, a meaningful smile on her face.

Minghan Jun joined her, an incredulous look in his eyes. “Is Zhizhi Song truly worth trusting? She can turn on a person so quickly, does a woman like that have any value in use?”

“She didn’t turn on her friends, she just knows how to save herself! Initially, I had doubts about her, but now I can trust her with eighty percent certainty, that she can be used to our advantage. Of course, we must also be careful. She spoke the truth when she said that one can only rely on oneself, naturally, that also means one cannot fully trust anyone else! What matters is whether she can truly help us eliminate Ji Baijian!”

“Mother, I understand.” said Minghan.

“As for Zhidao Song…” A cold smile appeared on Wanqing Leng’s face. “Mingxi, you keep an eye on him.”

“Rest assured, Mother. Zhidao Song is very ambitious. Since you promised him control of the Commercial Management department, he will be our pawn. Moreover, Zhidao Song is with me now. Our significant display of goodwill towards him ensures his loyalty to us.”

“Good.” Leng Wanqing nods, her eyes flashing cruelly. “After dealing with Baijian, your father and his beloved son will have nowhere to rest in peace!”

“Yes, Mother!”

A family with hidden agendas, a nest of traitors!

…

Zhizhi Song left the Bamboo Garden, driving away with Zhidao Song.

Zhidao Song glanced at his sister, struggling not to voice his thoughts. “Sis, did you really agree to Mrs Jun’s proposition? She ordered you to kill Ji Baijian!”

“Wasn’t it clear what I just explained? It’s not me who kills him, they will do it. I don’t need to lift a finger.”

“Sis, I feel like I hardly know you!” Zhidao Song said, unable to contain his feelings. “I always thought that you, at least, had a clear moral compass. Now, you are willing to harm someone so brutally for your own benefit. Don’t you feel you’re being cruel? How am I supposed to see you after this?”

“I am doing this for you too!” snaps Zhizhi Song.

Zhidao Song was taken aback.

“I’m doing this for you. If I didn’t consent to Mrs. Jun, do you think we could have left that place safely?! Think about it, why did Mrs Jun choose you for Mingxi Jun instead of Ye Wenhan? She must have foreseen this day, when she could use us!”

Zhidao Song held back, looking very miserable.

Zhizhi Song had also calmed down slightly, “Now, we no longer have a choice. Rather than seeking trouble, it’s better to humble ourselves and obey Mrs Jun!”

“But I don’t trust Mrs. Jun, I think she will break her promise!”

“She won’t. As long as we are valuable to her, she won’t harm us! Anyway, we will not threaten her family’s right to succession. Being no threat, she won’t raise her hand against me!”

“Even so, why don’t we go and find brother-in-law? We can cooperate with him and rely on Jun Mingyu’s power. I always feel that Ji Baijian’s side may be more advantageous to us, at least Jin Baijian truly loves you, and if he loves you, he won’t hurt you!”

“But I think, Jun Mingyu can’t compete with Jun Minghan.”

“Why?”

“You’ve heard what Mrs Jun said. The Dean was supported by her, and all the power is still in her hands! Even if the Dean has won people’s support over the years, they are still evenly matched. And now, if I become Mrs Jun’s spy, we will have already succeeded halfway! I will cooperate with Mrs. Jun to kill Ji Baijian first, which will put Mingyu Jun and the Dean at a disadvantage. That gives Mrs. Jun a perfect opportunity to bring down the Dean.”

“Is this really a good idea, sister? Is it truly justifiable to overthrow their entire official family and the whole Yanshang Country?”

“For our safety, I have no other choice!” Zhizhi Song appeared a little distressed.

With her hands tightly clutching the steering wheel, her body began to tremble slightly.

“Sis.”

“We two are the only ones left in our family. I really can’t bear the thought of losing you. I don’t care about anything anymore. For us to survive, not to mention killing Ji Baijian, I would be willing to kill anyone if I had the ability!”

Zhidao Song seemed very upset. “I always feel like I am constantly burdening you.”

“Zhidao Song, we are the only blood relatives left. I can’t accept you leaving me!”

Zhidao Song looked ill.

He was truly moved by his sister at this moment.

He never thought that his sister would do so much for him, even to the point of risking her own life!

But he…

He swallowed hard.

He was also acting for the sake of the family!

In the silent car,

Zhizhi Song suddenly drove towards an underground garage of a residential complex.

Zhidao Song looked surprised at the sight of the garage.

Zhizhi Song spoke, “I will be returning to Baijian tonight. Be careful and take care of yourself, Zhidao. I’ll have Brother Ziming stay with you. He will ensure your absolute safety!”

“There’s no need, you take Brother Ziming with you. I can take care of myself. It’s more dangerous for you with Baijian. If anything gets out, Brother Ziming can protect you.”

“Zhidao Song!”

“Sis, anything else I can agree to, but I won’t compromise when it comes to your safety.”

Zhizhi Song bit her lip.

After a pause.

“Be sure to take good care of yourself,” Zhizhi Song warned.

“Alright.”

Song Zhizhi opened the car door and got out.

“Sis, you also need to be mindful of your safety!” Song Zhidao called out loudly.

Song Zhizhi nodded.

She walked towards the elevator.

Song Zhidao looked on as Song Zhizhi vanished being the doors, then got into the driver’s seat and drove off.

He called someone as he was driving.

The call was picked up. “Song Zhidao.”

“I can assure you that my sister can be utilized for our purposes.”

“Alright.”

“Mr. Jun.” Song Zhidao called him.

“We’re all family now. If you have something to say, say it directly.”

“I hope you won’t harm my sister in the end!”

“As long as your sister is truly loyal to us, I won’t be so cruel. Besides, I’ve sounded out my mother just now. She truly intends to have your sister marry my younger brother.”

“Really?”

“I have no reason to lie to you. I also have to inform you that my mother really appreciates your sister. As long as your sister and you stay loyal to us, you’ll be right-hand men to me, Jun Minghan. We will certainly not mistreat the two of you!”

“I promise!”

“Hmm. Next, it’s up to your sister.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhidao took a deep breath.

He hoped that his sister wouldn’t alienate him for the things he was doing behind the scenes.

His thoughts were really simple!

Instead of handing everything over to Ji Baijian, why not let him seize it? After he got it, he could treat his sister better.

…

Song Zhizhi took the elevator to the apartment she once shared with Ji Baijian.

Who would’ve thought that she, who was once joyfully carried through this front door during their grand wedding with Ji Baijian, now bore witness to the same objects but drastically changed circumstances?

Her throat tightened slightly.

What once was, was now truly just a part of the past.

Today, as she stepped into this home again, her position was entirely different from Ji Baijian’s.

She hit the fingerprint scanner.

She thought that her fingerprint might no longer work, but at that moment the door unexpectedly opened.

Her heart fluttered.

She bit her lip, and opened the door.

Inside the room, the lights were turned on.

She was standing in the foyer when Tank, wagging his tail, came over to her. Upon seeing her, he got so excited and jumped on her, showcasing his enthusiasm.

Song Zhizhi couldn’t resist his excitement and picked him up, stroking his soft fur.

It’s been a long time.

She let go of Tank and just as she was about to change her shoes, she saw a familiar figure standing upright in front of her, looking at her.

He didn’t seem to possess any significant emotions, just observing her every move.

Song Zhizhi didn’t say anything either. She paused for a few seconds, then took off her shoes.

She put on the pink slippers Ji Baijian had gifted her for their wedding.

She had assumed that Ji Baijian had likely thrown them out.

Suppressing the emotions welling inside her heart, she said, “I’m home.”

As she said it, a sweet smile graced her face.

Her smile was very sweet.

Ji Baijian smiled too.

However, his smile held a trace of coldness. He asked, “Back to get a divorce?”

Because he couldn’t protect her family, she chose to leave.

And now, he was recklessly seeking revenge for her father, risking his own safety, all for her!

Completely disregarding his own safety!
