Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 2289 - 2293: Illustrative Example

“Because of the secret of the Jade Pendant, you don’t want anyone else to know,” Zhan Jinchuan looked at her and said coldly, “The Jade Pendant, you want to keep it for yourself! If you go back on your word, get the Jade Pendant, and then tie me up, I’ll tell others its secret. You have to make me think you want to save me, make me grateful to you, only then will I keep the secret of the Jade Pendant for you!”

“Brother Chuan, how can you think of me like this? You’re too cruel!” Ruan Feifei covered her mouth, looking at Zhan Jinchuan in disbelief, “If I were as vicious as you think, wouldn’t it be easier to just kill you to silence you? If you were dead, no one would know the secret of the Jade Pendant, and you wouldn’t be able to escape, wouldn’t that be the end of it?”

Zhan Jinchuan stared into her eyes and suddenly slowly revealed a smile.

He was extremely handsome, but at this moment, the smile on his face was incredibly eerie, giving a chilling sensation.

Ruan Feifei’s scalp tingled, all the hairs on her body stood up, and she couldn’t help but shrink back, “Brother Chuan… you… you…”

“Ruan Feifei, when your father and his accomplices were caught, is this what you thought?” Zhan Jinchuan looked into her eyes and said slowly, “When you found out that my escape led to your father and his accomplices being exposed and caught, this is what you thought, right? You must have thought countless times that you should have killed me to silence me! If I were dead, no one would know the secret of the Jade Pendant, I wouldn’t have been able to escape, and your dad wouldn’t have been caught, it would have all ended… For many years, this is how you thought, right?”

At that moment, it was as if Ruan Feifei stepped into an ice cave, a bone-chilling cold gradually sweeping over her from inside and out.

Zhan Jinchuan had changed completely.

Not only did he not love her anymore, but he was also now assuming the worst about her!

What does this mean?

It means that Zhan Jinchuan had not only escaped her control and lost any affection for her but also considered her to be a contemptible and malicious person!

This was very bad.

With Zhan Jinchuan’s status and power, crushing her would be simpler than crushing an ant.

If Zhan Jinchuan stopped defending her and instead went against her, her latter years would be utterly miserable.

At that moment, terror coursed through her veins, freezing her blood.

She prided herself on her intelligence, having a crafty mind capable of manipulating those she wanted, making them hopelessly devoted to her.

But her cleverness became worthless in the face of absolute power!

No matter how smart she was, she could only leverage Zhan Jinchuan’s fondness for her.

Yet Zhan Jinchuan had money, people, and status.

With just a word, he could make her suffer eternally.

She looked at Zhan Jinchuan, large tears rolling down her cheeks.

In an instant, she was sobbing uncontrollably, “Brother Chuan, I never thought you would think of me like that! You’re too cruel… really… you are too cruel… I was only fifteen at that time! Only fifteen! Just a fifteen-year-old girl, how could I have the deep scheming you say? Brother Chuan, you are biased against me, so no matter what I did, you interpret it with the worst intentions, you are too cruel, it’s unfair to me…”

“Fifteen-year-olds can do many things,” Zhan Jinchuan looked at her coldly and said, “My sister-in-law at fifteen escaped from a remote town to Jiang City all by herself… You must know Li Qi, right? In the dead of night, all alone, she saved Li Qi from a group of bad people! After hearing my sister-in-law’s story, I would never underestimate teenagers.”
