I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 230
230 I’m Only Willing to Fall in Love With One Person in My Life
Half an hour later.
Sang Qianqian washed a few teacups and sat by the tea table in front of the window. She began making a pot of tea.
Her brows were light and calm, her movements were calm and elegant. Beside her was the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, which looked like a beautiful picture.
When the tea was ready, the whole room was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
!!
“I heard from Shi’an that you love to drink tea.”
Sang Qianqian placed a cup of tea in front of Ruan Cheng. “Take this cup of tea as my thanks for waiting half an hour.”
Ruan Cheng glanced at the cup of tea with a cold expression and did not say anything.
“In the past, I didn’t like to drink tea. However, a few months ago, I was trapped in this small courtyard alone. I was extremely bored, so I tried to make and drink tea by myself. Afterward, I suddenly realized that this tea is just like a person waiting for another person to understand them.”
Sang Qianqian said unhurriedly as she poured herself a cup of tea. “If you reach a form of understanding, the tea will not let you down. In fact, it’s the same for people. When you meet someone who understands you, you’re not willing to let them down. In your life, you’re only willing to devote yourself to them.”
Shao Jin frowned. “Sang Qianqian, what are you trying to do? Get down to business already!”
“I’ll get down to business, don’t worry.”
Sang Qianqian picked up her teacup and took two sips before looking at Ruan Cheng and smiling. “Master Cheng is an expert in the way of tea. Would you help me taste this cup of tea and see if you understand what it is?”
Ruan Cheng raised his eyes and stared at Sang Qianqian with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
He had to admit that she was indeed very beautiful as she held exquisite facial features. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and she was graceful and well-mannered.
What was even rarer was that at such a young age, she was able to comprehend the principles of “understanding” and “not letting down”. She could be considered to have extremely high comprehension ability.
Shi’an could not be blamed for being enchanted by such a girl.
If she wasn’t Sang Minglang’s sister, if she didn’t have any relations to Shen Hanyu, then Ruan Cheng would have been very happy to see Xie Shi’an marry her.
Unfortunately, there were many things in this world that could not be changed by a person’s will.
Ruan Cheng finally raised his hand and slowly picked up the teacup in front of him to taste it.
The tea was bitter at first, but it had a lingering fragrance and a long aftertaste.
When Ruan Cheng put down his teacup, he said indifferently, “I barely understand.”
This evaluation was not a lie.
If Sang Qianqian had really learned how to make tea out of boredom after entering this small courtyard, then her technique was already considered pretty good.
Shao Jin was dumbfounded as he watched the exchange between the two of them.
Weren’t they here to interrogate Sang Qianqian about the identity of the people behind the scenes?
Why was Master Cheng drinking tea with Sang Qianqian?
Even Xie Shi’an was a little confused. He did not know what Sang Qianqian was up to. She had not told him about the tea-drinking arrangement before.
“Since that’s the case, then drink more, Master Cheng.”
Sang Qianqian lifted the teapot and poured more tea for Ruan Cheng.
Ruan Cheng didn’t pick up his teacup again, his expression returning to its previous coldness. “You can tell me what you know now.”
The room was very quiet.
Sang Qianqian finally opened her mouth, but what she said wasn’t what Ruan Cheng wanted to hear.
“When I was 18, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that the Sang family went bankrupt, my brother went missing, and my father and I both died. In the dream, Shen Hanyu seemed to be the cause of all the tragedies.”
She placed the teacup on the table and continued in a soft voice, “At that time, I fell in love with Shen Hanyu at first sight, but in order to prevent the Sang family from repeating the same mistake in my dreams, I faked my death and left Ming City. My whole family moved to Yuecheng. Five years later, Shen Hanyu and I met again by chance. Even though I’m afraid of the nightmare, I still couldn’t help but like Shen Hanyu. I even agreed to marry him and be his wife.”
Ruan Cheng furrowed his brows. “Sang Qianqian, you’d better get to the point.”
“The main point will be here soon.”
Sang Qianqian’s lips curled into a sneer. “It wasn’t until the shooting at the wedding that I came to the capital. I found out that the person who caused my brother’s disappearance and the Sang family’s misfortune was not Shen Hanyu, but you, Ruan Cheng.”
Ruan Cheng’s gaze slowly turned dark. “Sang Qianqian, what are you implying?”
“I’ve already made myself very clear just now. The tea was like a person, and a person was just like this tea. If you can meet someone who understands you and loves you in this life, you will not be willing to turn your back on them.”
Sang Qianqian met Ruan Chengyi’s murderous gaze. Her eyes were as cold as ice. “Shen Hanyu and I were in love with each other. We could have lived happily together, but you killed Hanyu and destroyed everything. Ruan Cheng, back then, you used the cruelest methods to torture Xie Qiuling’s murderer, so I’m sure you can understand how I feel now. In fact, I’m already being very kind to you. You murdered the love of my life, yet all I’ve done is invite you to drink a cup of tea with me.”
Everyone present, including Ruan Cheng, had a drastic change in expression.
“Sang Qianqian, do you want to f*cking die?”
Shao Jin was the first to react. He furiously grabbed her neck and said fiercely, “Speak! What did you put in the tea?!”
Sang Qianqian’s breathing was not smooth, and her face was red.
“Shao Jin, let her go!”
Xie Shi’an grabbed Shao Jin’s hand. “She hasn’t answered what you and Master Cheng want to know. Can you bear the consequences if she dies? Moreover, she didn’t even have the freedom to come and go, so how could she have come into contact with poisonous things? She also drank the tea that was just brewed. If she really wanted to harm Master Cheng, wouldn’t she be harming herself as well?”
Shao Jin thought about it and agreed. He let go of Sang Qianqian and pushed her away. “You’d better not have done anything. Otherwise, not even Shi’an can save you!”
Sang Qianqian was panting slightly, but she looked at Ruan Cheng and smiled. “Ruan Cheng, do you feel nauseous and dizzy? After a while, your vision will become blurry, your heart rate will slow down and gradually stop. Well, you’ll be able to experience what death feels like very soon…”
“F*ck, you really dared to poison him. Do you believe that I won’t kill you?!”
Shao Jin was flustered and exasperated. Just as he was about to rush over, Ruan Cheng’s body suddenly swayed. He clutched his temple and furrowed his brows, as if he was in great pain.
Shao Jin was shocked and quickly supported him. “Master Cheng!!!”
Ruan Cheng was already sick, and once he was poisoned, his body would not be able to take it.
He seemed to be unable to stand and fell into the chair. He vomited a few mouthfuls of blood in succession. His face was as pale as gold paper, but there was a strange red flush on his cheekbones as cold sweat covered his forehead.
Shao Jin couldn’t care about anything else. He picked up Ruan Cheng and ran out.
After running two steps, he turned back and glared at Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi’an. “Xie Shi’an, you’d better make her explain clearly what kind of poison she used on Master Cheng! if anything happens, she and the Sang family will be buried along with Master Cheng!”
Xie Shi’an’s fingers silently curled up as he lowered his eyes to look at Sang Qianqian.
Her face was abnormally red, and she was biting her lip hard. It was obvious that she was also enduring the pain.
His guess had been confirmed. In order to let Ruan Cheng drink that cup of tea without being on guard, she was even willing to pay with her life.
Xie Shi’an had never felt so heartbroken as he did now. He was on the verge of despair.
“Qianqian, what kind of poison did you put in the tea?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
