Chapter 14 The Video
After sorting everything out, I slept better than ever.
I didn't wake up until noon the next day.
When I went online, a message from a stranger popped up on WeChat.
Qin Yue wrote: Chunian, it's Qin Yue. There's a video I want you to see.
I accepted immediately.
He sent the video right away.
In a dimly lit private room, Shen Zong was drinking with a group of rich young men. He asked casually.
"By the way, what did you guys say about my ex-girlfriend before?"
One of them jumped in instantly.
"Doesn't know her place. Doesn't appreciate a good thing. Girls like her should..."
Before he finished, Shen Zong grabbed a bottle from the table and smashed it over him.
He kicked the guy to the ground and rained punches down.
"Who gave you permission to talk about her like that? She's the person I hold dearest in my heart."
"If it weren't for you idiots running your mouths, I wouldn't have broken up with her."
"Anyone who dares speak about her again, don't blame me for turning on you."
The beaten guy begged repeatedly.
"Shen Zong, I was wrong. I won't dare anymore."
Right on cue, Qin Yue sent two more messages.
Chunian, those people were just talking nonsense before. Please don't misunderstand Shen Zong.
I guarantee you, Shen Zong's feelings for you are more real than real gold.
From Qin Yue I learned that Shen Zong had been beaten by his father for fighting. Now he was lying in bed covered in wounds.
Thinking of how some families still kept old-fashioned "family discipline," I grabbed my bag and rushed out.
But the second I opened the door, I nearly jumped at the sight of Jiang Sui standing there.
I looked at her warily.
"What are you here for?"
Jiang Sui pursed her lips.
"I'm here to apologize. If I didn't come, someone would probably skin me alive."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spread rumors about having a childhood betrothal with Shen Zong. I shouldn't have said those things that caused misunderstandings between you two. I shouldn't have..."
Clearly, Shen Zong had forced her to come.
I cut her off.
"Fine. You can go now."
Jiang Sui crossed her arms, still a little arrogant.
"What I did was wrong. Apologizing to you is only right."
"But Shen Zong deserved to be dumped. Who told him to humiliate me back then?"
At sixteen, face was everything.
Shen Zong had suddenly demanded to cancel the childhood betrothal arranged between their families.
No wonder she held a grudge.
