The Beloved and Pampered Girl-Chapter 913 - : I Want to Avenge My Sister Personally
Chapter 913: Chapter 913: I Want to Avenge My Sister Personally
“Jian Dan, why do you look so strange?” Seeing the unmistakable sorrow hidden in Jian Dan’s eyes, a sense of foreboding rose from the depths of her heart.
Jian Dan’s hands that hung by her sides slowly clenched into fists, as she was extremely conflicted inside.
She didn’t know whether she should tell Ouyang Jing about Zheng Chengcheng’s situation.
Seeing Jian Dan looking down without speaking, still with a look of difficulty and struggle on her face, Ouyang Jing’s expression also grew dark…
“Jian, say something!” Ouyang Jing could no longer control his emotions, and anxiously shouted at Jian Dan, even going as far as to forcefully grab Jian Dan’s shoulders in his agitation.
Just then, Qin Rou, who had returned from outside, saw this scene upon entering the door. With a frown, she rushed over and pulled away the person who had grabbed Jian Dan, “What are you doing?”
It was only when she pulled him away that she saw clearly it was Ouyang Jing!
In the moment that Qin Rou recognized Ouyang Jing’s face, she also guessed the meaning behind his actions.
“Jian, tell me, what on earth happened to my sister?” Ouyang Jing didn’t mind being pulled away by Qin Rou; he was only concerned about his sister’s condition.
Qin Rou turned her head to look at Jian Dan, and Jian Dan also looked up to meet Qin Rou’s eyes.
From Jian Dan’s eyes, Qin Rou could see that Jian Dan was struggling inside, unsure of what to do.
Qin Rou tightly held Jian Dan’s hand in her own, attempting to give her some strength, “Jian, he is Zheng Chengcheng’s brother, we should tell him!”
Qin Rou had seen much cruelty in reality during her years in prison, so she was a bit calmer than Jian Dan at handling such matters.
“Jian, what exactly happened? How is my sister? Just tell me!” Ouyang Jing pleaded.
Jian Dan looked into Qin Rou’s eyes and, after a long while, turned her gaze towards Ouyang Jing…
“Ouyang Jing, I can tell you, but you must promise me you will stay calm! No rash actions!” Jian Dan was very afraid that Ouyang Jing would go straight to Shen Jue after learning of Zheng Chengcheng’s situation.
Ouyang Jing had once been a timid person who wouldn’t stand up to bullying at school, but as far as Jian Dan knew him, he might endure his grievances, but if his friends and family were hurt, he would fight like hell.
Hearing Jian Dan say this, Ouyang Jing knew his sister must have encountered trouble, and it was serious, “My sister, she…” the words caught in Ouyang Jing’s throat, reluctant to come forth.
“You have to promise me first!” Ouyang Jing was her friend, and with Zheng Chengcheng’s entrusted request before her death, she couldn’t allow him to be in danger.
Desperate, Ouyang Jing closed his eyes, trying to suppress his emotions. After a long while, he opened his eyes and spoke slowly, “Okay! I promise!”
“Okay! I’ll tell you!” Jian Dan took a deep breath before speaking.
Qin Rou looked at Jian Dan and tightened her grip on Jian Dan’s hand, signaling with her actions that she was there for her.
Jian Dan felt Qin Rou’s support and nodded at her.
“Zheng Chengcheng, she… she’s dead…” Jian Dan felt as though she had used all her strength to say it.
Although Ouyang Jing had prepared himself mentally, hearing the word “dead” still overwhelmed him. It seemed as if all his strength had drained in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, his gaze becoming hollow and lifeless.
Seeing Ouyang Jing like that, both Jian Dan and Qin Rou’s eyes involuntarily moistened, for they both had experienced losing loved ones and thus could deeply empathize with the piercing pain.
After what felt like an eternity, Ouyang Jing slowly rose from the ground, the coldness in his eyes unmistakable, “Tell me! How did my sister die?”
Jian Dan slowly lifted her gaze to meet Ouyang Jing’s and, with quivering lips, recounted the events to him…
Ouyang Jing’s eyes grew colder and even filled with a hint of murderous intent. His jaw clenched tight, the contours of his masseter muscles clearly defined. His fists were balled up tight, with veins prominent on the back of his hands, indicating his forceful grip.
Looking at Ouyang Jing, struggling so hard to contain his emotions, “Remember, you’ve promised me not to act recklessly!”
Ouyang Jing lifted his eyes to meet Jian Dan’s, “Jian, let me stay! I want to personally avenge my sister!”
Seeing Jian Dan’s hesitation, Ouyang Jing quickly added, “Jian, I assure you, I won’t do anything rash. I’ll follow your lead in everything!
Plus, my computer skills can be of help.”
Jian Dan knew that deep down Ouyang Jing was stubborn and would see through whatever he set his mind to; even if she refused, he wouldn’t give up. For his safety, Jian Dan agreed to his request.
