Chapter 1558: Chapter 1296: It’s Already Too Late

Shi Nuan didn’t expect Shen Zui to say such words, and for a moment, her feelings were very complicated.

Shen Zui looked at her expression and laughed, saying: "I know you must be very surprised, not just you, even I am very surprised myself, but I’ve already made too many mistakes. This time, I don’t want to make any more mistakes, so my apologies are sincere!"

Shi Nuan made a sound of acknowledgment.

Shen Zui continued: "Besides wanting to apologize, I actually want to say thank you to Song Yansheng... Of course, forgive me for this ’thank you,’ it can only be conveyed through you. I thank him for being by your side when you needed someone the most, protecting you, supporting you, giving you warmth and love. I also thank her for making me truly understand that I missed out on such a good girl... Moreover..."

Shen Zui paused, then said: "Moreover, I want to thank you, Nuannuan, thank you for giving me a period of warm memories, although those memories were very short, they are enough for me to remember for a lifetime..."

...

At that moment, sitting in the neighboring private room to Shi Nuan and Shen Zui were two women.

One was Ji Xiangling, the other was Chu Jingyun.

Ji Xiangling was swirling a glass of red wine in her hand, calmly savoring it, while Chu Jingyun seemed a bit restless.

Ji Xiangling glanced at her and smiled faintly, "What’s this? Miss Chu, are you scared?"

Chu Jingyun said: "This matter itself carries great risk, though Qing Yang said it’s the Lady’s intention, I always feel that the Lady wouldn’t be so ruthless..."

"How do you know she wouldn’t?" Ji Xiangling said: "Aunt Yu may be kind, but think about it, when trouble hit the Song Family back then, Aunt Yu endured silently for years, bearing it all alone. Not any ordinary woman could achieve that. And you know the importance of A Yu in Aunt Yu’s heart without me explaining. For A Yu, what wouldn’t she do?"

Chu Jingyun still hesitated: "But... but if A Yu knows all this..."

"A Yu won’t know..." Ji Xiangling said: "Even if he knows, he’ll think it’s done by his own biological mother. What does that have to do with us? And what enmity between mother and son lasts overnight? Even if A Yu is angry inside, he wouldn’t really do anything to Aunt Yu!"

Chu Jingyun furrowed her brows and said nothing more.

Ji Xiangling just smiled, saying: "Miss Chu, being so cautious now really surprises me. Last time, when you teamed up with Shi Nuan to design so that Shi Nuan was almost humiliated, didn’t you do a good job? You weren’t afraid then, so why fear now?"

Chu Jingyun’s face immediately darkened.

However, Ji Xiangling elegantly sipped some red wine and spoke again: "Don’t worry, we’ve arranged everything very well, A Yu won’t find out. And you should know, to make A Yu disdain for Shi Nuan, apart from doing this, you have no other way..."

Chu Jingyun pursed her lips, after a while, she said: "Have you thought about why the Lady didn’t approach us directly, but instead had Qing Yang come to us?"

Ji Xiangling smiled: "What’s strange about that? In the current situation, it’s not suitable for the Lady to see us, that’s the first thing. Second, the Lady has always favored Qing Yang, asking her to convey the message is nothing unusual. Thirdly, and most importantly, Qing Yang has always had issues with Shi Nuan because of Xiao Chuan. She couldn’t be more eager to see Shi Nuan leave A Yu!"

"But when I called the Song Family Mansion afterward, Aunt Tong picked up and hung up without saying anything. Of course, I know she may be wary of me now, especially after almost being dismissed by A Yu because of me. But since the Lady asked us to help with these things, she should at least say something to me..."

Ji Xiangling put down the wine glass, sat upright and looked at her, asking: "I say, Miss Song, what’s gotten into you today? Concerns keep coming one after another, what are you doubting? Are you suspecting there’s a trap in this matter? But don’t forget, Shen Zui was indeed called over by me, but Shi Nuan was called over by Aunt Yu. Does Aunt Yu not know the relationship between Shen Zui and Shi Nuan? Why let them meet? The answer is almost obvious, isn’t it?"

"But..."

"No buts..." Ji Xiangling interrupted her, saying: "Besides, everything is progressing according to plan now, it’s too late for you to regret!"

Chu Jingyun pursed her lips, ultimately saying nothing.

But for some reason, she always felt uneasy in her heart.

She glanced at Ji Xiangling, then stood up again, Ji Xiangling raised an eyebrow seeing this: "What? Still want to leave?"

Chu Jingyun took a deep breath and said: "I’m just going to the restroom, I’ll be back soon!"
