Chapter 429: Tong Yan
Translator: Lonelytree
Tong Yan’s smile faltered for a moment. However, she was well-trained. Her trademark smile returned, “I’ve heard a lot about you, Nanxing.”
I leaned against my uncle. “I don’t care what you heard about me. I just want to know what you’ve poisoned Jing Tian with.”
She smiled as if I was dumb, “Nanxing, that is our secret. I can’t tell you!”
I shrugged, “Well, I expect nothing less.”
She was stunned.
I turned to my uncle. “Little uncle, do you really need a family that much? Just because they have the surname Tong, they have to be family? This woman is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, so how can she be part of our family? Are you dumb?”
My uncle’s face was ashen, but he didn’t say anything.
Tong Yan smiled. “Nanxing, little uncle isn’t dumb, but he has to follow the family rules. He can’t kill his own family members. No matter the fault, he can only lecture and teach. So, please don’t make things difficult for my uncle.”
“Tsk! You are not that close to my little uncle to call him that. Please call him Mr. Tong Le instead!” I corrected.
Tong Yan’s smile didn’t change. Her face was as thick as city walls.
“Nanxing, you’re too headstrong.” She commented gently like she was my big sister.
I rubbed my arms. “Please don’t talk to me like that. I have goosebumps.” Her smile shook.
“Anyway, I just want to know what you’ve poisoned Jing Tian with. If you do, I’ll tell you something confidential. But if you don’t, it doesn’t matter. We’ll find a doctor on our own.”I spoke.
Tong Yan smiled. “Nanxing, you’re as arrogant and unruly as they say. You are protected too well. You haven’t been taught a harsh lesson in life. There is no cure for Jing Tian. The only way he can live is to come back with us and marry one of my sisters. Nanxing, if you love him, you should put him first, right?”
I had seen many shameless people, but this woman had risen to the top.
“So, you’re here to steal my fiance?”
Tong Yan nodded faintly. “If you have to put it that way, sure. But actually, I’m not stealing him. If Jing Tian wants to live, he has to come with me!”
“I’m sorry. I choose to stay by Nanxing’s side,” A gentle voice said behind me.
I turned around and saw Jing Tian standing quietly by the car door.
I held him up. “Why did you come out?”
Jing Tian patted my hand in a comforting manner. He walked up to stand side by side with my youngest uncle and said indifferently, “I’m sorry. I’d rather die than go back with you!”
Tong Yan’s face finally darkened.
“Jing Tian, you’re a smart person. The virus is already acting up in your body. Without our vaccine, you’ll die a painful death!” Tong Yan’s voice trembled slightly.
Jing Tian wrapped his arm around my neck. “There is no bigger pain in the world than being separated from Nanxing. If I’m not long for this world, I need to spend all of my remaining time with Nanxing. I’ve promised my life to her.”
Tong Yan looked at Jing Tian, “You’d rather die than come with me?”
Jing Tian nodded.
