Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Lin Yinyin Is Up to Something

Song Shiwei paused, looking towards Qi Yunqian with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, stretching out her hand to gently caress his cheek, "Yunqian, you can do it, right?"

This tender touch made Qi Yunqian feel as if, for a moment, he was seeing the Song Shiwei who used to love him deeply.

But in the next second, the cold indifference at the bottom of her eyes made him abruptly come to his senses.

He clearly recognized that Song Shiwei had long since stopped loving him.

Her love for him had been destroyed by his own hands.

Qi Yunqian’s tongue tasted bitter as he gazed deeply at Song Shiwei, his eyes filled with pain and struggle.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse it hurt, and his throat was raw with pain, "Really... Is there really no chance at all? Shiwei."

"Really, can’t you give me just a little bit of love? Shiwei."

As he spoke the last words, his tone carried a hint of pleading, "Give me another chance, Shiwei, I, I did so many terrible things to you before, do you really want to be done with me now?"

Song Shiwei never expected that two years later, Qi Yunqian would have such a look, begging her for a bit of love.

Her heart found it ridiculous and sad.

What was this supposed to be?

What on earth was this?

When she was still full of expectations and illusions for him, he shattered them all and even cruelly struck out at the Song family.

He even promised her solemnly that he would never love her in this lifetime.

Why was he now begging her to give him just a little bit of love?

She watched Qi Yunqian silently for a long time, until he felt colder inch by inch, and the color drained from his face little by little.

Her silence was her answer.

Song Shiwei closed her eyes, "It’s too late, Qi Yunqian."

She sighed, "It’s really too late."

Song Shiwei looked down at the man in front of her, his face full of sorrow, "If you really love me, then let me be free."

"You wouldn’t want me to be unhappy for the rest of my life, would you?"

Falling for him during her youthful days was the biggest mistake of her life.

And for that mistake, she had paid a huge price.

The Song family went bankrupt, her parents passed away, and her brother was left drifting abroad.

All these events were something she could never forgive him for, nor could she forgive herself.

There really was no future for her and him.

Qi Yunqian looked at the girl in front of him, and in a daze, the image of the first time he met her appeared.

Back then, Song Shiwei was the little princess cherished and doted on by the Song family, vivacious and brave, her love for him as intense as a burning flame.

In those days, her face often carried a sunshine-like brilliant smile, and her eyes were filled with love when she looked at him.

But now, she hadn’t truly smiled at him for a long time, and those eyes only contained coldness and disgust.

Qi Yunqian’s heart felt as if it was being firmly gripped by a large hand, all sorts of emotions he couldn’t vent filled his chest, his heart feeling as if it had been crushed.

He regretted it.

As if he couldn’t bear it anymore, he tightly grasped Song Shiwei’s wrist, as if holding onto the last straw, his tall back bent in an instant.

After what felt like a long time, Qi Yunqian, head lowered, spoke in a hoarse voice, "Alright."

"I agree to divorce you."

-

Another side.

After coming out from the Qi Corporation, Fu Yu stood by the roadside, fiercely taking out her phone, ready to pull up the photos of Song Shiwei being insulted in her album to expose online.

Suddenly, several burly men with naked arms and ferocious tattoos on their hands and chests surrounded her.

One of the burly men, whose face was covered with bulging muscles and had a cigarette in his mouth, sized her up and down, "Are you Fu Yu, Fu Xiao’s niece?"

Fu Yu looked at them warily and took a few steps back, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"What do we want? Of course, we’re here to collect a debt! Your uncle Fu Xiao owes a big debt at our casino!" The burly man took a drag from his cigarette and blew smoke in Fu Yu’s face, "He’s in prison now, and as his niece, you’ve got to pay his debts, right?"

Their casino was also unlucky.

They thought they could make a fortune after Fu Xiao lost at the gambling table.

But before they could profit, Fu Xiao was sent to prison, the Fu Family company went bankrupt, his dividends were gone, and the properties under his name were mortgaged to pay off debts.

Frustrated and angry, they turned to the Fu Family members.

They had been eyeing Fu Yu for several days now.

Smoke made Fu Yu cough incessantly, tears of irritation formed in her eyes, and with an urgent and angry voice she protested, "I’m his niece! Not his daughter! How could I possibly pay his debts?"

"Besides, I don’t have any money right now!"

"No money?" The burly, beefy-faced man’s expression turned cold in an instant, his droopy, triangular eyes making him look very vicious as he glared at Fu Yu fiercely, "Then we’ll take you away! You can work as a hostess to pay off your uncle’s debts!"

As he spoke, the people behind the burly man closed in, intending to take Fu Yu away.

Panicked, Fu Yu retreated desperately, taking out her phone to call the police, her voice shrill with threat, "Don’t come any closer! If you do, I’ll call the police!"

Fu Yu, a regular at bars, of course, knew what being a hostess meant.

It meant sleeping with men in a bar!

If they took her away, she would be ruined!

The burly man with the beefy face sneered, "So what if you call the police? I’ll just spend a few days in, get scolded a bit, and then I’ll be out and still come after you! Do you think you can escape?"

As he reached out to grab Fu Yu, a clear voice suddenly came, "What are you doing?"

The burly man and the barely escaped Fu Yu looked in unison to see Lin Yinyin standing not far away, with a phone in her hand. Lin Yinyin had a cold expression, pointing at her phone as she threatened the several burly men, "I’ve already called the police! If you don’t leave now, the police will take you away when they arrive!"

Lin Yinyin had been scolded by Li Kuo yesterday and was out to clear her mind today when she happened to see several men surrounding a young girl on the street. She originally didn’t want to get involved, but after seeing the girl’s appearance, she changed her mind.

The burly man’s face changed at her words, he spat out saliva and gave a sideways glance at the meddling Lin Yinyin, "Damn bad luck!"

Although they weren’t afraid of the police, getting caught was still troublesome.

He glared forebodingly at Fu Yu, "As long as Fu Xiao’s debt isn’t paid off, none of the Fu Family can hide from this! Let’s go!"

As the burly men walked away, Fu Yu’s body suddenly felt drained, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Lin Yinyin quickly stepped forward to support her, "Miss Fu, are you alright?"

Fu Yu shook her head, still frightened, she patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yinyin, "Thank you for just now."

If it hadn’t been for her, she would have been taken away by those burly men.

With Lin Yinyin’s support, Fu Yu steadied herself and looked at her quizzically, "Do you know me?"

Fu Yu used to be part of Hai Cheng’s top wealthy circle, which Lin Yinyin couldn’t break into, so naturally, Fu Yu didn’t recognize her.

Lin Yinyin’s smile was slight, "I’ve heard of you before, Miss of the Fu Family, but alas, I never had the chance to meet you. My name is Lin Yinyin, but..."

As she spoke, Lin Yinyin pointed in the direction where the burly men had left, seeing that they were still not far away, pointing and saying something about Fu Yu, her eyes showing a bit of concern, "Miss Fu, how did you get involved with these thugs?"

Following her gesture, Fu Yu looked in that direction and shuddered at the sight of the burly men, her teeth clenched with hate, "It’s because of my third uncle’s gambling debts at the casino. They couldn’t find him, so they came after me."

Fu Yu felt incredibly wronged.

How could she be so unlucky to have such a thing happen to her?
