Chapter 68: Scheming Secretly
"Be obedient and you’ll be my good sister," the corners of Cheng Songyang’s mouth twitched and he put on a fake smile. "Go home and try to persuade Mom. Treat the Ji family better on the day of the banquet. Only when I’m well will our family be well. Then both of you can continue to live such a luxurious life. Do you understand?"
He patted Cheng Liu’s cheek twice with his big cold palm. The bone-chilling coldness seemed to spread from her cheek all the way to the bottom of her heart. Cheng Liu could not help but tremble and her lips quivered.
Looking at his sister’s terrified expression, Cheng Songyang felt a sense of joy in his heart. The smile on his face grew bigger. "I’m asking you, do you understand? Answer me quickly."
His palm slowly slid down to Cheng Liu’s neck. His large palm tightened slightly as if he could snap her slender neck in the next second.
"Brother, it’s painful..." tears fell from Cheng Liu’s eyes. She was so scared that her voice softened unconsciously. She tried to butter up to him as she said, "I’ll listen to you, Brother. I’ll go home and persuade Mom to go with us to the Ji family’s banquet to apologize..."
"Remember to bring a big gift and apologize sincerely," Cheng Songyang emphasized. After Cheng Liu kept nodding to show that she understood, he slowly let go of Cheng Liu and tidied up his suit.
"You don’t have to feel wronged," Cheng Songyang sneered. With a hint of disdain, he said, "You women love to fuss over such trivial matters. The reason why such a vulgar and uneducated woman was able to humiliate you was because she married Ji Yan."
"When Ji Yan falls, Shen Hanxing will be meat on the chopping board. You can cut her up however you want." He looked at his sister arrogantly and pointed at her from above. "It’s useless for you to fight now. You have to see who will have the last laugh."
"But Shen Hanxing is really too much!" When she heard the name ’Shen Hanxing’, Cheng Liu felt that her face, which took a long time to recover, was starting to hurt again. She gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, no matter what, Mom and I are your family members. Shen Hanxing has slapped our Cheng family’s face in front of everyone. This means that she disregards the Cheng family. I’m really angry!"
