My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early - Chapter 521

Chapter 521: Chapter 520: You Don’t Trust Me Anymore, Do You? (Third update)

In the emergency room.

Song Zhizhi kept looking at Ji Baijian.

Gazing at his tall figure that continued to stand upright before her.

Slowly.

He turned his head to face her.

He said, “Yes, your father asked me to meet him tonight at Jingxiang Villa.”

“Weren’t you supposed to leave the country?” Song Zhizhi asked.

At that moment, her question seemed somewhat ironic.

“Yes, I was planning to leave the country, but received a sudden call from your father.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because your father said to keep it confidential for the time being and to solve the issues between him and me secretly.”

“Really?” Song Zhizhi asked.

She looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Ji Baijian said, “I am not lying to you.”

“Ji Baijian, I really don’t want to question you, I truly don’t want to doubt you!” Song Zhizhi’s mood became extremely agitated.

At that moment, she felt enveloped in darkness.

She didn’t know who to believe?!

She genuinely didn’t know if the Ji Baijian in front of her was the man she believed she could completely rely on.

She thought if she was wrong from the beginning.

Was she outrageously mistaken…

She just kept staring at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian also kept staring at her.

The two were at a loss for words.

After the police reminded Ji Baijian a few times, he followed them and left.

Song Zhizhi watched his retreating figure.

Her tears poured out like a collapsed dam.

If it really was Ji Baijian, if he really did have a hand in this, then she, then she… would truly wish to kill herself!

…

The news of Song Shan’s accidental death quickly spread across the country.

Everyone was incredulous but also deeply frightened. Commercial Management had been in turmoil for a while now, it started from the former leader Ye Taiting’s incident, it seemed as though accidents kept occurring, everyone in the upper level of Commercial Management met terrible fates, except Qin Wenguo, meanwhile others died, went mad, or were imprisoned!

Did Commercial Management offend the God of the Year, hence they were facing his curse?!

Song Shan’s funeral took place three days later.

Many people came to give Song Shan a final send-off, after all to the outside world, he remained a respected figure.

That day, there was a light rain fall.

Everyone was dressed in black.

Song Zhizhi watched her father’s coffin lower into the earth, watched how the soil gradually covered the coffin bit by bit, watched as her father completely disappeared from sight.

After 3 days had passed, she had somewhat calmed down.

Despite accepting the reality, she still couldn’t stop her tears from falling, she still could not bear the pain of losing a loved one.

Song Zhidao put his arms around his sister’s shoulders, seemingly to console her.

Ji Baijian stood behind her, always silent, without uttering a word.

Since Song Shan’s accident, from a few words in the emergency room to now, three days had passed without them talking any more.

Ji Baijian was called in for questioning by the police but they couldn’t derive anything, there was no evidence, in fact, it was a conspiracy by the government, there was no possible evidence, it was clear that it was just to create a rift between him and Song Zhizhi.

Song Shan’s funeral came to an end.

People began to leave consecutively.

At the end, only a handful of people were left.

Ji Baijian had been watching Song Zhizhi from beginning to end, his throat moved slightly, “Ma’am, let’s go.”

“You go.” Song Zhizhi didn’t turn around, she simply responded indifferently.

Song Zhidao, who was standing nearby, didn’t know what to say.

He simply distanced himself a little.

“Your father’s death has nothing to do with me.” Ji Baijian reassured her.

“I know.” Song Zhizhi responded.

She knew.

She knew if Ji Baijian really wanted to kill her father, he wouldn’t have revealed so many flaws.

She was just feeling a little uncomfortable now, so uncomfortable that she didn’t want him to approach her.

“I will help you take revenge.” Ji Baijian said.

He spoke very carefully.

“No need.” Song Zhizhi told him, turning to face Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian looked at her pale face, the obvious dark circles under her eyes, he knew she had been up for 3 days, going without sleep.

She said, “I will solve it myself.”

“Don’t trust me anymore, do you?” Ji Baijian asked, his tone laced with irony.

“Yes.” Song Zhizhi nodded firmly.

Ji Baijian seemed to smile.

He said, “Song Zhizhi, in this life, I have only ever lied to you twice.”

Song Zhizhi just kept staring at him.

“First, it is true that I fell in love with you since you were young. I have loved you for a long, long time.” Ji Baijian admitted.

He admitted, indeed, from the moment he saw her, he was smitten by her tear streaked face.

Ever since, she was all he could think of, it was always her figure that filled his mind.

“Second, when I was Ye Shengheng, I was killed by a rabid dog.”

Song Zhizhi’s pupils shifted a little.

Yes.

He was cornered, surrounded by a pack of rabid dogs, dying alive under their tearing and biting, blood drained down to his last breath.

So, for a long while after his sudden transit, he was scared of dogs. Yet, for her sake, he kept a dog, overcoming all the shadows in his heart.

“For me, none of these matters now,” said Song Zhizhi indifferently.

“What matters to you then?” asked Ji Baijian.

Should I tear my heart out and show it to you?

“Family is the most important.” Song Zhizhi enunciated each word.

Family is indeed the most important.

Yes, family is the most important, didn’t he know that already?

Song Zhizhi said, “I don’t know what will happen in the future, but for a long while, it would be best for us to part ways.”

“Song Zhizhi!” Ji Baijian grabbed her arm.

She’d lost so much weight that her arm was scarily thin.

“Ji Baijian, give us some time.”

Ji Baijian looked at her.

Song Zhizhi pushed his hand away.

Ji Baijian, from initially resisting to gradually relaxing, until finally being completely pushed away by her

Towards her.

He had never forced her, never imposed upon her.

Song Zhizhi just looked at him like that.

Her heart was indeed aching, but she really couldn’t keep depending upon someone else, she really could not depend on others anymore.

She turned around and walked away directly.

Ji Baijian watched Song Zhizhi walk towards Song Zhidao’s figure.

Song Zhidao turned his head and glanced at Ji Baijian, feeling somewhat distressed at his appearance.

He told his sister, “It really shouldn’t have anything to do with brother-in-law.”

“I know. But we cannot rely on others. I had dreamed of a rosy picture, only to find out now, we can’t trust anyone but ourselves.”

“Sis…”

“Moving forward, we still have to rely on ourselves.”

Song Zhidao looked at her.

“This enmity, must be avenged!” Song Zhizhi emphasized each word!

…

Song Zhizhi left.

The entire cemetery became eerily quiet.

Ji Baijian stood there, motionless.

His eyes were bloodshot, carrying a hint of cruelty.

“Baijian.” A female voice sounded from behind him.

Ji Baijian did not turn around.

Qin Jingxiang stood behind him. She had also come to attend Song Shan’s funeral, and had stayed back.

She had seen the dispute between Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian, she had seen Song Zhizhi abandon Ji Baijian and leave.

She knew that after the storm, there comes the bright moonlight.

She had told her father not to rush, to wait for the storm to pass, and sure enough, her father was the only one left in the entire Commercial Management organization.

She had told herself not to deliberately provoke Ji Baijian now. There would be people coming to ruin their relationship, and she only needed to reap benefits from their discord.

Now.

She had waited long enough.

She said, “Actually, no one is more selfish than Song Zhizhi. She relies on you only in hopes that you can help her, help her family. As soon as you can’t make her feel secure anymore, she will leave you.”

Ji Baijian seemed to not have heard her, and walked away directly.

“Ji Baijian, in this world, the only woman who loves you selflessly is me!”

Ji Baijian’s departing figure halted.

Qin Jingxiang’s heart fluttered.

Her eyes reddened a little.

She had really endured a lot for Ji Baijian, had been patient for a long time now.

She loved this man, she only loved this man.

“But I don’t love you,” Ji Baijian replied.

It was cold, devoid of any emotion.

Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over.

Looking at Ji Baijian’s departing figure, she laughed suddenly at that moment.

She laughed hysterically.
