Chapter 169: Are You Wishing for a Fate Worse Than Death?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Papa Duan was a man of his word. Duan Shao’an lost everything in just one night.

He had promised Bai Xinlan to bring her to order a custom-made ring. But now he had only one hundred dollars in his pocket, and nothing else.

But he believed that Bai Xinlan loved him sincerely. She would not mind him being poor. So, early in the morning, he still went to Sheng Ting University. But this time, he did not drive there.

When Bai Xinlan saw this, she asked, “Why didn’t you come by your car?”

“Something went wrong.” Duan Shao’an touched his nose and answered.

“Let’s go. I have made an appointment with the designer. We should go and get the ring done now.”

Duan Shao’an did not say anything and went to the jewelry store with Bai Xinlan. In the past, he would never blink even for a second when he looked at all those jewels. But now, he had no money at all. On the other hand, Bai Xinlan seemed very happy. She was discussing the design with the designer.

It was only when the price was finalized did Duan Shao’an look very uneasy. But Bai Xinlan did not notice the changes in him.

“Miss Bai, how would you like to make the payment? By credit card or by cash?”

Bai Xinlan took the bill and passed it to Duan Shao’an. However, Duan Shao’an did not move.

“What’s wrong?”

“Xinlan… Actually, I have no money.” Duan Shao’an could not hide it anymore and confessed. When Bai Xinlan heard him, her face changed.

“What are you talking about? You are the young master of Duan Group. Why would you have no money?”

When the designer heard them, he knew that the deal was off. He rolled his eyes and walked away.

Duan Shao’an took a deep breath. He did not want the people to see and laugh at him, so he dragged Bai Xinlan out of the jewelry store quickly. “Xinlan, actually all my things have been confiscated by my father, including my car.”

“What do you mean?”

“My family may go bankrupt, because…”

When Bai Xinlan heard the word “bankrupt”, she was dumbfounded. “Because of Lu Qianqian?”

“Yes, the Lu family is planning to destroy my family…” Duan Shao’an admitted.

“You should have told me earlier. If you told me you have no money, then we will not have come here and embarrassed ourselves.” Bai Xinlan said angrily. “Do you know how embarrassed I was just now?”

“Xinlan, you told me you love being with me!”

“Come on, why would I be with you if you have no money?” Bai Xinlan shook off her hand and called for a taxi. She did not expect Lu Qianqian to be this ruthless. She came to the school to embarrass her at first, now she even cut off all business of Duan Group. It looked like she had really made up her mind. She was a strong-headed character.

She should avoid her at all costs just to be safe.

Duan Shao’an thought that Bai Xinlan was just angry. So, he took a taxi to the school and waited for her to finish her classes.

But Bai Xinlan did not even care about him. She had a long list of contacts of the rich men in her phone. Why would she waste her time on a punk?

Soon, there were rumors in school.

“I heard news saying that Bai Xinlan’s rich boyfriend has gone bankrupt. Did you see that he has been taking a taxi to school recently?”

“What happened? What is it?”

“I heard that it’s his ex-fiancée taking revenge on him. Her family caused their bankruptcy. They acted so fast.”

“Well done. That scum and that slut deserve it.”

“When Bai Xinlan knew he had no money, she avoided him completely. She is so materialistic.”

“I hope to see Bai Xinlan dead soon!”

Mu Qiqi had caught wind of the rumor and smirked. Anyway, the scum was unforgivable. When Qianqian could really do this to him, it meant that she had really pulled through. So, the Duan family was destroyed in just one night.

She was especially excited to see Bai Xinlan ignore Duan Shao’an when he came to see her. She felt so good seeing Duan Shao’an in this state.

If Duan Shao’an was completely destroyed, she would feel even better!

Some time later, after Mu Qiqi walked out of the lab after class, she took out her phone. She wanted to tell Sheng Xiao that she was waiting at the south gate of the school. Right then, Duan Shao’an stopped her.

Mu Qiqi was surprised. She kept her phone and looked at Duan Shao’an. “Why do you guys like to look for me so much?”

“Because you are Lu Qianqian’s best friend.” Duan Shao’an looked worn out. He had become rather scraggy after losing his money and social status. Now he was just a poor man.

“Cut to the chase. I am going home.”

“Can you ask Lu Qianqian to let me go this time? I have no other choice but to beg you. I know you will not help me but still I want to try.”

“You are right. I will not help you,” said Mu Qiqi coldly. Having said that, she wanted to walk pass Duan Shao’an, but he grabbed her arm.

“Let go!”

“No, I won’t!”

At that very moment, a black car stopped right at the gate. Seeing Mu Qiqi being grabbed by Duan Shao’an, the man in the car quickly lowered the car window.

He was wearing sunglasses. But his aura and style gave his identity away.

He glared at Duan Shao’an. “Are you wishing for a fate worse than death?”

Duan Shao’an turned around. When he saw it was Sheng Xiao, he quickly let go of his hands.

Because he knew that the Lu family could only make his family go bankrupt, but Sheng Xiao could hang him in the jungle and starve him for days.

“If you want to live, you should go apologize to the Lu family. It is useless to act pitifully in front of my people.”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Duan Shao’an immediately bowed and apologized.

“You better stay ten meters away from my Qiqi when you see her in the future. Or else, I will make my move.”

Duan Shao’an was horrified. He raised his arms in surrender and ran away.

Seeing Duan Shao’an so scared of Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi laughed as she got into Sheng Xiao’s car. “I was just about to call you, but I was stopped by him.”

“Although I have warned Duan Shao’an, you still need to be careful. He might do something worse when he gets desperate.”

“Yes.” Mu Qiqi nodded. “It looks like what the Lu family did is a real blow to him.”

“Don’t waste your time thinking about this kind of person. I will send you to visit your father in the hospital after dinner.” Sheng Xiao did not want to waste a word talking about Duan Shao’an.

“Okay.” Mu Qiqi nodded. She had not visited her father for several days now.

But she did not know that Rong Junhan had planned to bring Mu Tangxue to see Shen Jianchuan tonight.

Because Rong Junhan knew that Mu Qiqi would be coming. So she would let Mu Tangxue make her appearance after Mu Qiqi leaves the hospital.
