Chapter 151 - I Will Torture Her Until She Regrets Living (2/2)

However, why would the police officer assume that Yin Qingyu was the one who made the phone call? This was only because she was the first person to appear in front of Vera.

Jiang Yuning had mentioned one very important point that Vera thought made perfectly good sense. Would such a selfish person such as Yin Qingyu actually take the trouble to try and save someone else?

“You should determine the truth from the facts and by looking through the evidence. After discovering the truth, there is no need to be sad or angry about anything that is not important to you. After all, you have so many other things that you have to do and be busy with,” Jiang Yuning said as she patted Vera lightly on her shoulder to comfort her. “I will upload a short ancient video on my social media account tomorrow. After that, I will be going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register my marriage with second brother. You would have to do a good job keeping that a secret for me. Moreover, you would also have to start planning the next steps for me after I join the cast. Don’t you have any other plans or contracts for me after that?”

“You are going to get married? What about your employment contract…”

Jiang Yuning rolled her eyes before answering Vera. “It is Chairman Gu who has ordered me to get married as soon as possible. So, you do not have to worry about me breaching any terms of my contract because this clause does not exist in my employment contract. Anyway, haven’t you always been curious about how I am related to Chairman Gu? Well, he is Lu Jingzhi’s biological uncle but it is not known publicly…”

After listening to Jiang Yuning’s explanation, Vera could finally figure out the relationship between these few people.

So, this was how they were connected to one another.

“Since you are all family, then…why aren’t you more ambitious?”

“I am not struggling to make ends meet now. I have enough food, clothing, and a shelter over my head so why can’t I have my own goals in life? Do you really see me as just a blacklisted artiste with a bad reputation, with no acting skills?” Jiang Yuning asked. “Do I not have an identity without second brother’s help?”

“That is not what I meant,” Vera explained immediately.

“Alright then. I want to be more down to earth since I am still young and capable of doing many more things. There are so much more mountains that I want to conquer based on my own ability. If I merely rely on my relationships to get me everything that I want in life, where is the satisfaction in that? If you want to, you can accompany me as I fight and work hard for everything that I want. However, if you are unwilling to do so, I will not force you because I would never want to make things difficult for my friend.”

Vera smiled as soon as she heard Jiang Yuning referring to her as a friend.

She used to believe that Yin Qingyu and her were best friends.

She had learnt her lesson the hard way.

She should have been more sceptical when someone said that they were her friend now but because this person was Jiang Yuning, she knew that she really meant it and that she could trust her.

“I am really happy that you are getting married tomorrow and I wish you all the best. However, I have to go and deal with Yin Qingyu because I am afraid that she would cause more trouble and implicate you in the process.”

“If she dares to do anything to delay my marriage, then I will torture her until she regrets living,” Jiang Yuning replied as she laughed. “As for whatever she intends to do, you do not need to worry too much about it as long as you do not have a guilty conscience. What is false will always be false. It would never become the truth.”

Vera could finally heave a huge sigh of relief.

She would just pretend that she had wasted so many years feeding a dog that bit back.

Later in the evening, Vera headed back to her house after dropping Jiang Yuning off at the Royal Dragon Villa. After taking a shower, she took out her sim card and replaced it with her previous SIM card before she rummaged through her address book.

She was relieved when she discovered that she still had a few of her classmates’ phone number saved in the contacts list. Although she was embarrassed, she was courageous enough to ask her classmates to help her contact her ex-colleagues.

About an hour later, Vera finally received a phone call from her ex-classmates…
