Although there wasn't much emotion in his eyes, Jiang Lan could hear a bit of stubbornness in his tone.

Jiang Lan lowered his eyes, hiding the mockery in his eyes, "When I don't speak, don't you think I am embarrassing you?"

"So that's what you think."

Jiang Lan raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Isn't it?"

"If you think so, then yes." He paused and then said, "But I don't like hearing words like leaving, so don't say it next time."

Jiang Lan slowly clenched his fingers, a trace of anger rising in his eyes.

"Why do you still think that I will listen to you just like before? Be a dog that comes and goes when you call it?"

The corners of Lu Jingchi's lips were slightly raised, but there was only an arc. It looked like a smile, but there was no smile at all.

"You will, unless you want to see Jiang Heng and your brother Yan disappear from this world."

Jiang Lan's pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Her eyes turned slightly red.

Jiang Lan suddenly realized that in twenty years, exactly twenty years, she had never really understood this man.

His paranoia and perversion were beyond her imagination.

"What about Xia Yan?"

Jiang Lan stared at him, "Are you ignoring your Xia Yan?"

"You don't need to worry about it anymore." He sat down next to her, put his arms around her slender shoulders, and said softly: "I told you, we are still the same as before. Just be obedient and everything will be fine."

there is none left."

Jiang Lan stared at him with burning eyes, tears slowly sliding down the corners of her eyes.

"Why?"

She spoke hoarsely and asked him word for word, "Why do you keep me when you clearly don't love me?"

He was silent for a long time.

He seemed to want to say something, but fell silent again. After several silences, he looked into Jiang Lan's eyes.

Habitually, he raised his hand to wipe her tears.

"If I say I love you, will you stay?"

Jiang Lan was startled slightly, and his lips only trembled when he opened and closed them.

After a moment, Jiang Lan turned away and looked away from him, "You know it in your heart."

In addition to the blood feud between them across the Jiang family, there are also other innocent lives.

For example, Grandma Zhang, the person who died under Si Ning's car, and their two children.

Taken together, all these things make it impossible for them to survive in this life.

She has been a sinner of the Jiang family for twenty years.

If she continues to make mistakes, without Pei Qingsheng taking action, she will have no words to say in this world, and she will have no words to face her parents after her death.

Lu Jingchi laughed and said, "Yes, since you already know everything, why would you ask such a boring question?"

He seemed to be talking to Jiang Lan, and he seemed to be talking to Jiang Lan.

For a moment, Jiang Lan seemed to suddenly understand his escape.

How could such a proud person like him allow himself to be embarrassed in his relationship? As long as he didn't admit it, he could just pretend that it never happened and that he never loved.

He is still him, the proud and arrogant Lu Jingchi.

Whether in the business or emotionally, he has never lost.

Jiang Lan stared at him and asked, "Have you known this for a long time? Do you know who the murderer is?"

Lu Jingchi looked away. After a while, he stood up, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.
