Why did he plead on her behalf?
Because…he had loved her for seven years!
Shi Nuannuan pointed at Jing Xinlei on the ground, filled with righteous indignation. “Five years ago, this woman professed her feelings for my brother to the skies. But she left my brother when he was at his lowest, all for a small dream. When she returned, she was full of schemes and even tried to kill my sister-in-law time and time again. For a woman with such vile history, it would be best if she died!”
“I know what she did before was a huge injury to you. But if you believe me, let me take her away.”
“Then we’re just going too easy on her!” Shi Nuannuan was right!
“Stop talking,” said Jing Xinlei suddenly. She had been silent the whole time. But she remained stubborn and unapologetic.
When she escaped from prison and decided to kill Zuo Weiyi, she already knew that even if she escaped to the ends of the earth, Shi Yuting wouldn’t let her go!
She looked at Shi Yuting coldly with emotionless eyes. “I don’t need anyone’s pity. If you want to kill me, just do it. Give me a quick death!”
“Xinlei!” Zhong Shenghao still wanted to speak.
But she interrupted him. “Shut up!”
Her eyes flashed with ruthlessness, as if she was full of anger toward Zhong Shenghao. “I don’t want to hear a word from you, and I don’t need you to plead for me!”
Listening to her tone, Shi Nuannuan couldn’t take it anymore!
“Jing Xinlei! Can you be any more despicable?!”
Jing Xinlei didn’t look at her. Her angry eyes kept staring at Zhong Shenghao. “Do you know that life is worse than death? Right now, I’d rather die than need Shi Yuting and Zuo Weiyi’s pity!”
“You don’t need my pity.” Weiyi suddenly said. “Wouldn’t you be embarrassed anyway?”
Everyone looked at Zuo Weiyi—they didn’t understand what she meant.
Jing Xinlei also turned to look at her.
Zuo Weiyi turned to Zhong Shenghao. “Take her away.”
Her words shocked everyone.
“Sister-in-law!” Shi Nuannuan couldn’t believe it. Jing Xinlei had just wanted to kill her!
“I hope you can keep your promise. If there’s a next time, even if Shi Yuting doesn’t kill her, I’ll do it myself. At that time, even you won’t be able to stop me,” Zuo Weiyi continued.
Even Shi Yuting was a little surprised.
Was she unable to refuse Zhong Shenghao’s plea?
“Weiyi…” Zhong Shenghao still couldn’t believe it.
“Is this you giving me your pity?” Jing Xinlei glared at Weiyi.
To her, their pity was more painful than killing her.
Zuo Weiyi suddenly chuckled. “That’s right. Since he begged me to let you go, then I’ll show mercy and let you go. Remember, Jing Xinlei, you can live in this world safe and sound only because of my mercy!”
“You might as well kill me!” She didn’t want to live because of her charity!
“I did want to just now. But now I’ve changed my mind, because I realized that letting you live would be more painful for you than killing you. Living with the pity of others is not a good feeling, is it?”
