Chapter 540: You’re Not That Important Even to Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Nian Nian, I’m not threatening you, I’m just sharing some important lessons with you. This world isn’t black-and-white, and not everything can be settled with the law. Even the sun doesn’t shine on every corner of the earth.”

He took a check out of his wallet and placed it on the table, then shifted it to Qiao Nian. He said calmly, “A million yuan is quite a sum. If we let things slide here, Chen Yuan doesn’t just receive a million yuan in compensation, his father will also get to have the best treatment in a hospital in Beijing. This transaction is a win for him. As for him… when he graduates, I will personally find him a company and ensure he lands a job. How’s that?”

This was not a negotiation, this was an option after a threat!

Qiao Nian’s dark eyes went cold. She initially already had her bag on her shoulder. At this point, she tossed her bag back onto the seat and chuckled, looking at him with her exquisite look.

Then, she said unkindly, “You guys can try us…”

After laughing, her cell phone buzzed again. Qiao Nian looked down and saw that Gu San had replied.

[Gu San: Miss Qiao, we’re already near where you are. I’ve parked the car by the roadside, and we’re waiting for you. Master Wang wants me to let you know you can take your time, there’s no rush (*?▽?*)]

After seeing the emoticon in the last line, some of the coldness faded from her eyes.

In the past, only Jiang Li and her dad would use this emoticon.

Now, even Gu San had learned to do the same.

Recently, the people around her loved to add these cute emoticons when messaging her. Even Shen Qingqing and the rest would do that in their texts.

Qiao Nian didn’t reply to the message. After glancing at her cell phone, she looked up at Shen Jingyan once again. Much of her ferocity had dispersed after the interrupting message came in, but her eyes were still cold and unfriendly. She didn’t want to say much more and simply left Shen Jingyan with a statement.

“You’re right that the world isn’t all black-and-white. But I believe that there is justice and fairness. However dark it may be, there will be light!”

That was why she liked this word.

Sun.

Light.

Sunlight.

Zhui Guang!

“I advise you not to think of targeting Aunt Chen and her family. I’m willing to let Wei Qi off on your account, but you aren’t that important even to me. At least, you’re not so important that the relationship we share can guarantee me letting Wei Qi off…”

Qiao Nian’s cap was pulled extremely low, and she appeared not to have much of an expression. Yet, Shen Jingyan felt a strange sense of oppression. It was almost suffocating.

He never realized how strong her presence was in the past.

This sort of aura.

He had never before experienced it in all his years in Beijing.

At this point, he felt that Qiao Chen couldn’t compare to Qiao Nian at all. She was negligible when placed next to her!

If not for the fact that he knew Qiao Nian didn’t make it to Qing University, he would really be doubting his choices now.

Qiao Nian had no idea what he was thinking. After suppressing her anger, she bent over and picked up her bag once again, slinging it on her shoulder. She had one hand in her pocket, looking casual but curt at the same time. “… If anything untoward happens to Aunt Chen or her family, Wei Qi will be suffering the same right after. Uncle Shen, I mean what I say!”

She was succinct and ruthless.

Shen Jingyan had lived the high life all these years and was respected, even revered, wherever he went. When had he ever had to deal with such directness?

—I’m willing to let Wei Qi off on your account, but you aren’t that important even to me!

—If anything untoward happens to Aunt Chen or her family, Wei Qi will be suffering the same right after.

At that moment, Shen Jingyan actually had no idea how to respond.

He was the one threatening Qiao Nian, why had the tables turned? Qiao Nian was now the one warning him!
