Chapter 149: Pack up and get out!

“Harsh?”, Chen Liling looked incredulously at the Tang duo. “What Suyin has done defies humanity. She is only facing the consequences of her own actions. And please. What daughter? When I haven’t spared even my own son, why will I be any lenient towards her?”

“Liling please! Have some mercy on her. She was r*ped again last night. She has twice lost her dignity. Isn’t this enough of a punishment?”

“Which could have been Nana, right? Twice?”, she said coldly making them shudder.

“It was a reckless mistake. Please forgive her and let her go. I promise we will leave this place and never show our face again.”

“Let her go? We are sending her to her rightful place. The crimes that she has committed, how many years will she get jailed for?”

“No! Please, I beg you. She is our only daughter. How will we live without her! You have even attacked our company! Please give her back to us and take back your orders. We will never come back again!”

Orders? She didn’t understand. Chen Guiren was also confused.

They had locked up Suyin to let her rot in until they decide what to do with her. They also decided to make the Tang’s go bankrupt today, but they didn’t give any orders until now.

She excused herself and called Assistant Yan.

“Who is attacking the Tang company?”

“Madam Chen. It is the first young master Liu Jinhai. I was just going to call you informing you about it. Last night, the Tang’s, as well as Tang Suyin’s company’s shares, took a massive downfall hit. Every investor is demanding their money back. Both are in huge debt. It is just a matter of time before they go bankrupt.”

Chen Liling was stunned.

Jinhai…

But why would he? Why is he fighting for Nana?

She absent-mindedly hung up the call.

She recalled his demeanor last night. His murderous gaze towards Huian, and how his fury calmed down only when Nana talked to him.

Was it true what I felt at that time? Does he have…feelings for Nana? Otherwise, why would he take revenge for her?

How is this possible? When did this happen? Just because of last night what happened between them?

No. That cannot be. Such strong feelings do not just grow overnight.

She suddenly remembered how her brother told her that Jinhai was the one who brought Nana to the hospital that night they were attacked. In all the confusion, they didn’t pay much attention, but it is actually strange that he left Huian alone behind, who was also trapped with them. Which husband will ignore his wife and care for another woman at such time?

That means…

The realization struck her hard.

Jinhai had already fallen in love with Nana long back.

Jianyu woke up with a terrible headache. The two bottles of alcohol were now giving him a solid hangover.

“Ah…”, he groaned in pain touching his head.

“So, you woke up Mr. Handsome?”, a voice said.

He frowned. He opened his eyes to see an unfamiliar place.

“Where is this place…”, he asked.

“My home.”

Jianyu looked at the young woman standing before him holding a tray.

He furrowed his brows.

Why does it feel like I have already met her somewhere before? Wait…

“You are the woman I met that night, near the airport.”

“Ding ding! Correct answer.” She chuckled.

“What happened? Why are you…”, he asked trying to remember. But, his head was just aching too much.

“Ah, the typical question. Actually…”, she turned serious.

“What?”

“Well, you were quite drunk last night. Obviously, you were not in any position to drive. We kind of know each other, so I couldn’t leave you alone and brought you here and…you didn’t let me go.”, she paused, “We…did it.”

He widened his eyes in shock. Now his entire sleepiness and headache vanished in an instant.

“What!!?”, he exclaimed in a loud voice.

—

The morning at Natsukashi was far from its usual cheery and lively atmosphere. Nobody could sleep a wink last night.

Nana tiredly came down, the puffs under her eyes faintly visible.

Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, and Mrs. Fei, their neighbor, and the landlord came barging in.

“Nana!”, she called out.

She was startled. The twins also came down hearing the noise.

“Mrs. Fei?”

“Pack your things and leave this place.”, she said haughtily.

Nana and the twins were stunned. “What? L-leave? I don’t understand.”

Mrs. Fei sneered. “You heard it right. You cannot run your restaurant here anymore.”

She was utterly perplexed. “But why? I have paid the rent on time.”

“Heh. Don’t act so innocent. We all saw the news. The ex-girlfriend of Chen Jianyu tried to plot against you in your engagement. Poor her. They were in a relationship, but you came in between them. You totally made her go crazy. You were so cruel to force her to go such a step to destroy you. People are cursing her but I know how you are so good at seducing men. Even your engagement has broken.”

Apart from Suyin’s scandal, the rest of the facts like how Jinhai and Nana spent the night together, and Huian’s truth was not allowed to make public by Liu’s, Chen’s and Xiang’s.

So, even though common folks didn’t know, it was more than enough that the socialite circle knew the whole truth about Huian. Her reputation was as good as tarnished.

Yukito said angrily, “You! That woman tried to trap my sister in such a vicious plan and you are blaming my sister!?”

“Of course. People like her only home wreckers! Hmph. I bet they must have covered your ugly truth as a last saving grace. Such nice people. You don’t deserve to go to that prestigious family. Now don’t waste my time. Pack up and get going!”
