CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 418: NEARLY RAPED AND KILLED

Grandma Shi almost gnashed her teeth, "These people came by once last time when you were in a coma, staged a little show with a couple of tears, and then asked me for a loan, starting right off the bat with 50 million!"

Shi Mei’s eyes narrowed, "So did you lend it to them?"

Grandma Shi replied irritably, "I’m not stupid, of course not. At that time, you and Ling Yan were both seriously injured and unconscious; who had time for them!"

Yun Du spoke up: "I know about this as well. A few days ago, Mr. Shi Xuebai called me for help, saying he needed to borrow 50 million from our company for cash flow. I asked the old man, and he told me to refuse. I can’t believe they actually resorted to fraud... It’s just unthinkable..."

"Never mind fraud, they even left our family’s phone number," Grandma Shi grew angrier the more she thought about it. "Now with Ling Yan still in a coma, if this gets out, how can our family ever recover!"

Shi Mei was beyond words with this family. She gently patted Grandma’s shoulder and said, "Leave this matter to me, Grandma. I’ll handle it."

"No way; don’t give them any money. People like that should not be indulged, time and time again, as if the Shi family were made of inexhaustible gold and silver mines!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t," Shi Mei soothed, "Some people never grow up, and there needs to be a way to make them."

When Shi Mei said this, her eyes were deep and intelligent, filled with an indescribable charm that revealed sharp confidence.

Her voice was somewhat heavy, carrying an elusive, profound tone as if she was a mastermind with strategies already in place.

Grandma Shi looked at the ’foolish girl’ before her and unconsciously superimposed her with Tang Wu hidden deep in her memories.

That little vixen Tang Wu always had plenty of sly schemes; her gaze was almost identical when she was up to no good, scheming to mess with others.

Yun Du thought to himself that Shi Mei had truly grown up!

Her manner of speaking was even somewhat similar to the eldest.

What they all failed to notice was that the man who had been in a coma for over half a month, his finger by the blanket, moved slightly.

-

Shi Lingyan had been sitting here for a very, very long time, reviewing all the moments of happiness and unhappiness one by one.

But going over it again and again, Shi Lingyan realized that he was terrifyingly lonely.

He had promised they would go to hell together, that he would come down to keep her company, but he had come, and she had broken her promise.

Shi Lingyan kicked about silently, filled with self-mockery when he seemed to hear her voice.

She said, "I killed two people for you; did you know that? I almost got raped. If it wasn’t for my intelligence, I would be dead. To save you, I sacrificed so much, and now you’re lying here half-dead. What are you trying to do?"

Her voice!

What did she mean she killed two people for him?

And what did she mean by almost getting raped?

And him lying there half-dead, what was that supposed to mean?

Shi Lingyan definitely heard these voices, but deep down, he leaned more towards the possibility that he might be dreaming.

A while later, he heard her voice again.

She said, "Ah Ling, get up, let’s call it even for all our past grudges."

Their grudges...

Between them, what grudges could there be?

Shi Lingyan wanted to respond to her, but to his astonishment, he found that he couldn’t speak!
