Chapter 146 Revenge Plan
Chapter 146 Revenge Plan
Upon hearing this, countless thoughts flashed through Zhu Ziqing's mind.
Her hatred for the Wan family and Zhu Shigou had long been ingrained in her bones, and Xiao Xingyi's words undoubtedly touched the most sensitive nerve in her heart.
"Dr. Xiao, do you think... this person really has delusions?" Zhu Ziqing asked tentatively, her tone tinged with nervousness.
Xiao Xingyi shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Who knows? But if he really does have delusions, that would be quite dangerous. After all, the Wan family is not to be trifled with."
Zhu Ziqing's heart sank suddenly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously clenching together, her heart filled with contradictions and struggles.
On one hand, her hatred for the Wan family and Zhu Shigou fueled her desire for revenge.
On the other hand, she didn't want to drag Tan Haoyu into this conflict.
"Haoyu... he's been so good to me, I can't let him be in danger because of me." Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Xingyi noticed her change in mood, smiled, and said in a gentle tone, "Ms. Zhu, you seem quite interested in this topic?"
Zhu Ziqing raised her head and forced a smile: "No, it's just that I find it... a bit unbelievable."
Xiao Xingyi nodded, his tone carrying a deeper meaning: "Yes, there are always some people in this world whose very existence is a threat. However, sometimes, a threat can also be turned into an opportunity."
Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes: "Dr. Xiao, what do you mean by that?"
Xiao Xingyi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "It's nothing, just chatting casually. Miss Zhu, you don't need to be too nervous."
Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly, her mind beginning to suspect Xiao Xingyi's motives.
"What exactly does he want? Why did he suddenly mention the Wan family's illegitimate son?" Zhu Ziqing was filled with vigilance.
Just then, the office door was gently pushed open.
Tan Haoyu walked in, his tone tinged with concern: "Ziqing, how are you? Feeling better?"
Zhu Ziqing raised her head, a complex look in her eyes: "Haoyu, I..."
Tan Haoyu walked to her side, gently took her hand, and said in a tender tone, "Don't rush, take your time. Dr. Xiao will help you."
Xiao Xingyi stood up, his tone slightly teasing: "Muzhi, you really are a good husband. Miss Zhu is so lucky to have a partner like you."
Tan Haoyu smiled, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Xingyi, please stop making fun of me."
As Zhu Ziqing watched the two interact so familiarly, a sudden feeling of unease welled up inside her.
She noticed that Xiao Xingyi addressed Tan Haoyu as "Muzhi" instead of "Haoyu".
"Mu Zhi... that's what Zhu Yahan calls him too." Zhu Ziqing's heart sank, and a trace of unease flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Xingyi seemed to notice her change in mood, smiled, and said in a gentle tone, "Ms. Zhu, let's call it a day. If you'd like, we can talk again next time."
Zhu Ziqing nodded, her voice weak: "Okay... thank you, Dr. Xiao."
Tan Haoyu gently put his arm around her shoulder and said in a tender tone, "Ziqing, let's go."
Zhu Ziqing stood up and followed Tan Haoyu out of the office.
Her heart was filled with complex emotions, a mixture of hatred, unease, and confusion, leaving her feeling more exhausted than ever before.
As they stepped out of the office building, Tan Haoyu glanced at Zhu Ziqing, his tone tinged with concern: "Ziqing, how are you feeling?"
Zhu Ziqing lowered her head, her voice weak: "Haoyu, I...I'm a little tired."
Tan Haoyu nodded, his tone gentle: "Okay, let's go home."
Zhu Ziqing leaned on his shoulder, but her heart was far from calm.
She knew that a huge storm was raging inside her, and she had to find a way to face and resolve it.
"Punishment, elimination, destruction..."
Xiao Xingyi's words kept echoing in her mind, as if guiding her towards some unknown direction.
Her heart was filled with complex emotions, a mixture of hatred, unease, and confusion, leaving her feeling more exhausted than ever before.
After returning home, Zhu Ziqing sat on the sofa, staring blankly out the window.
Tan Haoyu walked to her side, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and asked in a tender tone, "Ziqing, how did your conversation with Dr. Xiao go today?"
Zhu Ziqing lowered her head, her voice weak: "It's alright... He mentioned some things that made me a little... confused."
Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, his tone tinged with concern: "What is it? Can you tell me?"
Zhu Ziqing was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head: "It's nothing, just some trivial matters."
Tan Haoyu's heart sank, and his tone was tinged with helplessness: "Ziqing, you can tell me what's on your mind. I don't want to see you shutting yourself off like this."
A flicker of pain crossed Zhu Ziqing's eyes, and her voice choked with emotion: "Haoyu, I... I just didn't want you to worry."
Tan Haoyu sighed softly, his voice filled with heartache: "Ziqing, you are my wife. Your pain is my pain. I don't want to see you tormenting yourself like this."
Zhu Ziqing's tears fell silently, her voice trembling: "Haoyu, I... I really don't know what to do."
Tan Haoyu hugged her tightly, his voice firm: "Ziqing, no matter what happens, I'll be by your side. Let's face it together, okay?"
Zhu Ziqing leaned against him, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She knew that Tan Haoyu truly loved her, but she couldn't let him get involved in her revenge plan.
"Haoyu, I'm sorry... I have to handle this myself." Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, a resolute glint in her eyes.
In the stillness of the night, Zhu Ziqing sat at her desk, a pen in her hand, a sheet of white paper spread out in front of her.
Xiao Xingyi's words kept echoing in her mind: "Punish, eliminate, destroy, whatever you please."
"The Wan family's illegitimate son... perhaps, this is an opportunity." Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, a cold glint in her eyes.
She picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper: "Revenge Plan".
"Zhu Shigou, Wan Shi... I will get back everything you owe me." Zhu Ziqing's heart was filled with hatred and determination.
She knew this path was fraught with danger and uncertainty, but she had no other choice.
"Haoyu, I'm sorry... This time, I have to go on my own." A trace of pain flashed in Zhu Ziqing's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
She closed her notebook and gazed resolutely out the window.
The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if guiding her.
"No matter the cost, I will make you pay the price you deserve." Zhu Ziqing silently vowed in her heart, her eyes filled with fierceness.
