Chapter 340: Chapter 340: The Abused Heroine Awakens (16)

"In a difficult position?"

"Didn’t you say you felt sorry for me, couldn’t bear to see me doing poorly?"

"Since you’re already here, shouldn’t you be doing something to change things?"

Qiann Yan’s barrage of questions left Jing Yunzhou slightly stunned, unsure what to say for a moment.

He was convinced that Qiann Yan was upset and that’s why she was treating him so coldly.

"You’ve changed a lot, it’s my fault."

Qiann Yan looked up, her beautiful eyes scanning Jing Yunzhou’s face, and he unexpectedly felt a sense of pressure and chill.

"You’ve seen me, admitted your fault, so why no action? Do you think a few empty words will get any response?"

"Life is long, and every different event is an opportunity for someone to change. There’s no such thing as someone who never changes. If there is, they must be a puppet."

Qiann Yan was growing impatient. This person had lots of empty words, lacking concrete actions, clearly trying to get something for nothing.

"Think about how to compensate me, and don’t let me hear another useless word. If you can’t think of anything, just leave."

"If you can’t help and just waste time with nonsense, don’t you think you’re disrupting my rest?"

Faced with Qiann Yan’s utter refusal to save face, Jing Yunzhou also grew a bit angry, his voice turning cold: "What kind of compensation do you want?"

"If I want it, will you just give it to me?"

"To take me away from here – you can’t do it."

"I told you to stop with the empty words, yet you insist on saying them."

"You want me to figure out my own compensation, which clearly shows you’re not sincere. Shouldn’t it be something you’re willing to offer yourself? Otherwise, why even come?"

"You say you feel sorry for my ordeal, yet besides saying so, you can’t think of anything else? Having a brain and not using it is pointless."

Jing Yunzhou was so angry that his hands were shaking, his face turning unsightly: "Yanyan, even anger has its limits."

"If you can’t take it, then leave!"

Jing Yunzhou clenched his fists. Normally good-tempered, today Qiann Yan’s words genuinely angered him.

Faced with her, he felt as if he had been stripped bare, unable to hide any thoughts from her any longer.

He believed this was an illusion, still thinking she was angry and that’s why she was being unreasonable.

"I’ll come visit you another day." If he stayed, he would explode with anger.

Qiann Yan gave Jing Yunzhou a cool glance, sizing him up from top to bottom.

He felt uncomfortable under her gaze, as if it was filled with disdain.

How did it come to this?

Jing Yunzhou opened his mouth, then briskly walked away.

Unexpectedly, Qiann Yan’s voice came from behind: "Just as I thought, you came to say a bunch of empty words. Knowing I have no food, you couldn’t even leave a couple of Silver Coins."

"Is this what you call concern?"

"Are you sure you’re not just here for the spectacle?"

"Don’t come again next time. Today is not like yesterday."

Jing Yunzhou’s complexion didn’t recover, now caught between wanting to stay or leave. Leaving a stack of silver notes didn’t feel right, not leaving them was embarrassing.

He pretended not to hear and walked away.

However, he heard a derisive laugh from behind, his face turning beet red, his retreating figure filled with panic and embarrassment.

Qiann Yan did not intend to get up, continuing to practice her skills.

This hypocrite Jing Yunzhou probably doesn’t want to see her anytime soon.

"Check with the original host, how does she feel now." Qiann Yan signaled System 666 to convey the message.

System 666: [Host, Miss Cheng feels absolutely refreshed. She’s wanted to scold Jing Yunzhou like this for a long time but didn’t know how to. Miss Cheng says she’s learned that against someone who speaks empty words, you have to make them take real action.]
