Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Scalding coffee splashed on someone will certainly peel off a layer of skin.

The waiter carefully handed over the coffee. "Miss, please hold it steady."

"Take it away! Take it away quickly! I don’t want it, I don’t want it—"

Lilan was trembling uncontrollably and had become utterly incoherent.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, her wide, terror-filled eyes darted toward the corner, and she screamed, "Shanshan, come out and save me!"

Ji Shanshan’s face instantly turned deathly pale at the sound of Lilan’s voice.

She stayed hidden in the corner, refusing to move.

"Ji Shanshan, come out! Zhang Yun and I only offended Miss Ji because of you. Beg her for mercy! She’s your cousin; she won’t hurt you!" Lilan kept shouting.

Hearing Lilan’s cries, Zhang Yun suddenly remembered Ji Shanshan was still there. A glimmer of hope lit up in her eyes as she joined in, yelling, "Shanshan, we’re best friends! Hurry and come out to save us!"

She then turned to Ji Wei, pleading, "Miss Ji, we have no quarrel with you. If not for Shanshan, we wouldn’t have opposed you. Please let us go, won’t you?"

Gu Moqian’s dark, enigmatic eyes flicked toward the corner, and he gestured at the bodyguard beside him.

The bodyguard strode over and dragged out Ji Shanshan, whose face was ashen.

"Sis, it wasn’t my idea. They acted on their own, claiming they wanted to stand up for me. I never asked them to do this—"

Ji Shanshan hurriedly defended herself, desperate to sever all ties with her two friends.

Whether or not Ji Shanshan had incited them, this entire matter originated because of her. How could Ji Wei not understand that?

She let out a cold snort, her gaze icy enough to freeze, locking onto Ji Shanshan and making her shiver all over.

Ji Shanshan hung her head low, thinking it might help her escape this predicament.

But then Gu Moqian’s voice, devoid of any warmth, cut through the air: "Ji Shanshan, you’ll throw this coffee."

Ji Shanshan swallowed hard in terror, staring at the cup of coffee, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

If the scalding coffee was poured on someone, it would definitely leave their skin peeling—just the thought sent chills through her.

"Unwilling?"

Gu Moqian’s voice rang out again, as chilling and ominous as a demon from hell.

Ji Shanshan finally extended her trembling hand.

Zhang Yun’s face twisted in shock, and she screamed, "Ji Shanshan, we’re best friends! You can’t do this to me!"

Ji Shanshan trembled even more violently. Panicked, she looked at Zhang Yun, stammering, "Don’t blame me. I’m being forced—"

Hardening her resolve, Ji Shanshan picked up the cup of coffee and took slow, deliberate steps toward Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun fell to the ground in despair, her eyes shutting briefly as if resigning herself to her fate. There would be no escape today.

"Don’t blame me, Zhang Yun. It’s not my fault—I was left with no choice—"

Ji Shanshan gritted her teeth as she spoke, raising the still-steaming cup of coffee.

Zhang Yun scrambled backward, her eyes overflowing with fear. "No, no, Shanshan, you can’t do this to me—"

"Wait!"

Ji Wei’s voice suddenly rang out.

She glanced at the pale, broken Zhang Yun lying on the ground and said, "If you were given a choice, would you take it?"

Like a drowning person grasping desperately at a final lifeline, Zhang Yun nodded frantically, her voice trembling with urgency, "Yes, yes, I would!"

"Very well. If you pour this coffee on her, I’ll let you go."

Ji Wei gestured toward Lilan, who stood nearby.

When it came to scheming, the one who had pushed her to the brink earlier was this woman, while Zhang Yun was merely a foolish pawn.

Zhang Yun, initially convinced that her end was near, was stunned by the prospect of a choice. She had not expected Ji Wei to offer her an out.

Rather than suffering burns that would peel her own skin, she naturally preferred for that pain to fall on someone else!

Resolve flashed in Zhang Yun’s eyes. She bit her lip and nodded fiercely, "I’ll do it!"
