Yi Mi

Chapter 186 Tearing Her Apart

An Nuan never expected Ji Wenyun to remain so quietly by her side, not saying a word or interfering.

This situation left An Nuan somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, Xia Wanqing's voice, tinged with weariness, carried a soft, shy tone as she said, "Wang Liang, you told me before that An Nuan was dead, completely gone."

"But now? An Nuan is standing before me alive and well. How do you plan to explain this? Can you explain it?"

"Before, you kept assuring me that absolutely nothing would go wrong, that An Nuan was no more."

"Now look at your assurances."

"Wang Liang, what happened before is in the past. But An Nuan absolutely cannot be alive, do you understand?"

Wang Liang's expression was unsightly, but he still said obsequiously, "Don't worry. An Nuan will surely die."

"If An Nuan is kept alive, it will expose everything."

"If you lose your financial resources, then I will surely lose mine as well."

"Don't worry."

"Would I joke about my financial resources?" Wang Liang said earnestly.

"Heh, your financial resources are a joke?" Xia Wanqing scoffed. "Back then, you swore to me that An Nuan was dead and utterly gone. And the result?"

"Not only is An Nuan not dead, but she has also latched onto Nangong Jin, that high-flying prospect. Tell me, how can I trust you?"

"Wang Liang, we've already done something foolish once. I don't want it to happen again."

"Wanqing, I understand. I was truly careless."

"Trust me, this time, I will handle things perfectly. Don't worry." Wang Liang said obsequiously.

It was truly rare to see Xia Wanqing associating with a scummy person like Wang Liang, someone so repulsive that even being near him was sickening.

In fact, one might wonder how such a person could exist in this world.

Someone of Xia Wanqing's status, someone who had everything, shouldn't be entangled with someone like Wang Liang.

This was something not only An Nuan couldn't comprehend, but even Ji Wenyun, standing nearby, was perplexed.

He couldn't understand what he lacked compared to Wang Liang.

"Xia Wanqing, I went through great lengths to make everyone believe your identity. You can't just cross the bridge and burn it. Right now, I'm short on money. Hurry and give it to me."

"I asked you to give it to me a month ago, but you didn't."

"Wanqing, are you avoiding me?"

Wang Liang looked at Xia Wanqing's unusually grim expression but didn't curb his words. He continued, "You probably think you can always find me, so you don't have to give me money, right?"

"Xia Wanqing, don't forget, I can make you, and I can destroy you at any time," Wang Liang said sinisterly.

"If you serve me well, and keep me satisfied, you will still be Ji Wenyun's fiancée. But if you displease me, this identity might change hands."

Xia Wanqing's face turned extremely ugly.

Wang Liang, however, was smug. He said triumphantly, "Xia Wanqing, if Ji Wenyun knew you were an imposter, do you think he'd be so angry he'd want to destroy you?"

"After all, those things..."

Xia Wanqing's gaze fell on Wang Liang. She glared at him ferociously, as if wanting to tear him apart, but ultimately restrained herself.

She forced a fawning smile and said, "Wang Liang, I know I was wrong this time. I will change. Please don't say things like this again in the future."

"If outsiders find out, then I'll be ruined, and your financial resources will be cut off, won't they?"

"Wanqing, don't worry. Only you and I know about this. As long as you behave, nothing will happen." Wang Liang provocatively lifted Xia Wanqing's chin.

"Wang Liang, remember, you promised me you'd destroy An Nuan. She must die, understand?"

"Her continued existence is a huge threat to me." Xia Wanqing's eyes were filled with a malevolent gleam; she detested An Nuan immensely.

"Wanqing, I know. If it weren't for what I've done for you, you probably wouldn't even spare me a second glance."

"I also know that with Ji Wenyun now, you want to get rid of me even more."

"However, Wanqing, I won't give you the chance to get rid of me. I will pester you for all eternity."

"You will never escape my grasp in this lifetime."

Xia Wanqing's hands, clasped at her sides, clenched tightly. She wanted to say something but ultimately held back.

Her formerly disgusted expression instantly shifted into a smile, and she chuckled, "Wang Liang, you're overthinking."

"I will never betray you, nor will I ever leave you."

"You know, I'm with Ji Wenyun for our happiness."

"Actually, I don't want to be with him."

Wang Liang waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, let's eat properly. Let's not talk about such unappetizing people."

Xia Wanqing could only force a smile and say, "When I succeed, we'll be able to be together properly."

Heh, sweet words made people feel comfortable and cost nothing.

Naturally, she would say whatever sounded good.

A person like Wang Liang couldn't be pushed too hard. She had to handle him carefully.

Xia Wanqing wanted to leave but was stopped by Wang Liang, who grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong? Finished eating? Ready to go?"

Xia Wanqing glanced at Wang Liang. "Wang Liang, it's inconvenient for me right now, I..."

Wang Liang looked at Xia Wanqing with disdain and said coldly, "Xia Wanqing, are you doing this on purpose?"

Was she doing it on purpose? Of course, she was.

But, even if it was on purpose, she wouldn't say it.

After all, some words couldn't be spoken.

"I didn't mean that, I just..."

Wang Liang simply waved his hand, expressing disdain. "Alright, you don't need to explain. These explanations are useless."

Xia Wanqing's expression changed drastically. She was wondering what Wang Liang meant.

She was even more afraid that Wang Liang might do something excessive.

"Wang Liang, I..."

Wang Liang said disdainfully, "Some things don't need to be said. I understand everything."

Seeing this, Xia Wanqing realized Wang Liang didn't seem unhappy.

Therefore, there should be no issue.

"An Nuan, this was your arrangement, wasn't it?"

Ji Wenyun's face was grim. It was evident that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

He tightly gripped An Nuan's hand, almost crushing it.
