Chapter 749: Chapter 749: What Drips Isn’t Blood, It’s Ink

"Always let her see a glimmer of hope, and when she feels there is a dawn, extinguish it. Then, in another place, reveal a bit of dawn to her again." Zhao Gushen’s eyes slightly lifted.

The corner of his eyes had a cold glint as sharp as a blade, making everyone present shiver.

Zhao Gushen’s heart, truly dark!

This is like slicing flesh with a soft knife, it can torment someone to death!

Just like tying a carrot in front of a donkey to make it grind.

The donkey can always see food in front, always rushing towards it, but can never reach it.

Although, the donkey won’t perish, but Ye Ning will.

But the process carries the same meaning.

Although, dealing with Ye Ning is just a small matter.

No one present would care about a little character like Ye Ning.

But Zhao Gushen even tortures a small character like Ye Ning, not letting her die completely.

He wants Ye Ning to be stuck between life and death, unable to escape.

Zhao Gushen’s heart, it’s not dripping blood, but ink!

Everyone present shivered.

More determined than ever to never provoke Zhao Gushen in the future.

Otherwise, dying wouldn’t be a relief, being tormented by Zhao Gushen would be endless. What’s the point!

Wait a minute.

Seems like there’s someone here that also offended Zhao Gushen.

Because Ye Ning caused such a scene earlier, everyone’s attention was on her, thus ignoring the three from the Liu Family.

Now that Ye Ning is gone, Zhao Gushen’s speech just now reminded everyone intensely that there’s no good end for crossing him.

So, following this thought to look around.

Suddenly realizing, they seemed to have... overlooked something?

Overlooked what?

Of course, those already trying hard to shrink themselves in the corner, playing quail, the three from the Liu Family.

When Ye Ning first arrived, the three from the Liu Family thought tonight was Ye Fei’s doom.

So they eagerly crowded not far from Ye Ning.

They didn’t expect Ye Ning to be dragged out.

The three from the Liu Family wouldn’t dare stay at the vortex’s center!

Especially after seeing Zhao Gushen’s dark heart and actions, they wished they could be far away from him.

Mrs. Liu even had thoughts of criticizing behind closed doors at first.

Now she doesn’t even dare to criticize in private.

If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Ning just left, and if the three of them left immediately after, it would seem too suspicious, and easily make Zhao Gushen suspect them.

They would’ve left long ago.

Unable to leave now, they could only try their best to lower their presence, hiding in the farthest corner of the banquet hall.

Who knew, even this couldn’t fulfill their wish.

They’ve kept such a low profile, yet the guests could still think of them!

Usually, the Liu Family loves to be in the spotlight, hates to be ignored.

But now, the three from the Liu Family had a perfectly synchronized thought in their minds.

"Please ignore us!"

But obviously, those guests couldn’t hear the new thoughts of the three from the Liu Family.

Instead, they precisely located where they were.

Looking over in unison.

Zhao Gushen chuckled softly.

The Liu Family, just a small punishment is enough.

But just this laugh made everyone’s heart skip a beat.

Zhao Gushen’s gaze coolly settled on Zhuang Zhongyue.

"Aren’t you going to plead for them?" Zhao Gushen asked with a light laugh.

Zhuang Zhongyue was in a difficult spot.

He really wanted to shake his head.

Mainly because he was afraid if he shook it, the three from the Liu Family would cling to him, blaming him for not saving them.

But he really didn’t want to deal with the Liu Family.

Yet if he didn’t shake his head, what if Zhao Gushen misunderstood?

Zhao Gushen smiled, saying, "This time, on your account, let’s just let it go for the Liu Family."

Zhuang Zhongyue looked at Zhao Gushen in both surprise and joy.

However, mostly in horror.

When did this dog of a man become so easy to talk to!

Zhuang Zhongyue thought he didn’t have that kind of influence!

"Just now you stood out fearlessly to speak for your sister-in-law." Zhao Gushen chuckled, "Consider this a token of gratitude."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Gushen really spared the Liu Family for Zhuang Zhongyue!

Just a moment ago when Zhuang Zhongyue spoke up, he addressed Zhao Gushen as Brother Shen, and called Ye Fei his sister-in-law.

Since Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei didn’t speak, everyone assumed Zhuang Zhongyue was just trying to form connections. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But unexpectedly, now Zhao Gushen actually acknowledged it, addressing her as "your sister-in-law" to Zhuang Zhongyue!

"It was my duty!" Zhuang Zhongyue hurriedly said.

His heart was filled with unstoppable excitement.

Brother Shen recognized him!

"Last time you said that whenever something happens, you’d stand up first." Zhao Gushen said blandly, "This time, you kept your word."

Zhuang Zhongyue was rather embarrassed by Zhao Gushen’s words.

"This time, for your sake, I’ll let the Liu Family go once." Zhao Gushen said.

The three from the Liu Family were shocked to their core.

When Zhuang Zhongyue came to the forefront earlier, they were very disdainful.

Zhuang Zhongyue was so opportunistic.

But, did he actually think that by stepping forward to say a few words for Ye Fei, he’d please Zhao Gushen?

If Zhao Gushen was so easy to please, why haven’t others succeeded?

Are others stupid?

For Zhuang Zhongyue to spring out like this, he’s nothing but a clown.

Embarrassing!

But they never expected Zhao Gushen would actually spare them for Zhuang Zhongyue?

Is there no justice anymore!

They originally thought Zhuang Zhongyue was a clown, but it turned out he succeeded!

The three from the Liu Family stood dumbfounded.

Then, they heard Zhao Gushen say, "But only this once. I’ll only consider it this time."

"In the future, no matter who speaks, it won’t work." How could Zhao Gushen not understand Zhuang Zhongyue’s dilemma?

It also helped that when he came in, Zhuang Zhongyue promptly sent a WeChat message to Zhao Gushen, expressing his stance.

He absolutely didn’t intend to plead for the Liu Family.

And he expressed his difficulties.

So Zhao Gushen thought for a moment, and considerately waived future trouble for Zhuang Zhongyue as well.

Indicating this was a one-time waiver.

If something happens again, even if the Liu Family finds Zhuang Zhongyue, it won’t help.

Of course, if things happen again, the Liu Family will definitely go to Zhuang Zhongyue.

They’ll use every method they can think of.

But with Zhuang Zhongyue’s brain, he knows how to handle it.

Just say it can’t be done.

Or claim he approached but Zhao Gushen wouldn’t listen.

He can say whatever he wants.

However, Zhao Gushen thought no matter how stupid the Liu Family is, they wouldn’t stupidly charge toward death.

After this, they should know what to fear.

They wouldn’t dare provoke casually.

Because provoking once might be forgiven.

But provoking again, that’s asking for death.

Nobody expected Zhao Gushen to really spare the Liu Family for Zhuang Zhongyue’s sake.

Everyone knew Zhao Gushen held grudges.

But he did consider Zhuang Zhongyue’s face.

Everyone felt like the world had become a fantasy.

Has Zhuang Zhongyue’s status risen that much?

"Pinch me quick, is this really our brother?" Zhuang Zhongyue’s friend said, dumbfounded.

"Ow!" But it wasn’t the one asking for a pinch who shouted, it was another, "Why did you pinch me?"

"I’m holding a cup with my left hand, not convenient to use."
