Chapter 6855
I Don't Mind Destroying You
The voice paused for a moment, then added a hint of disdain and warning: "Even if your Chen family is as rich as a country, controls half of the ancient city's economic lifeline, and is unrivaled in the business world."
Even if you, Miss Chen, are exceptionally talented and possess considerable martial arts skills, ranking among the best of the younger generation, so what? Before me, you are nothing.”
“If you continue to act recklessly in front of me, I don’t mind making the Chen family and your name disappear completely from the map of the ancient city. At that time, everything in your Chen family will be reduced to nothing, and you will pay a heavy price for what you have done today. Remember, I’m only saying this once.”
After speaking, Xiao Chen didn't even glance at her again, as if she were just an insignificant stranger, someone not worth his time.
He turned around, took long strides, and his tall figure, like a flash of lightning in the night, quickly disappeared into the dazzling neon lights outside the Qujiang Club.
The flickering light and shadow seemed to dance in celebration of his departure, or perhaps to mock Chen Ziyan's disheveled and wretched state.
Chen Ziyan was left alone, feeling as if all her bones had been removed, her body limp against the door of her expensive Phantom.
Her body slid slowly down the car door, eventually collapsing to the ground, her eyes vacant and her gaze blank, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
She never imagined that she would suffer such humiliation, and be so pathetic in front of a man she looked down upon.
Her heart was filled with anger, humiliation, and resentment, but at this moment, she could do nothing but silently endure it all.
The cold metallic touch, like a cold snake, slowly crawled up her back through the thin fabric of her dress, then spread down her cheeks, piercing her cheeks pressed against the car door.
The metal was chillingly cold, as if it were slowly drawing warmth from her body, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
The autumn night wind, like a mischievous and cruel child, carries a damp chill and sneaks in from all directions.
It blew through her thin dress, across her bare skin, raising goosebumps and making her shiver.
The wind seemed to carry a faint, almost imperceptible scent of decay, adding to the desolation and loneliness.
The burning pain and strange tingling sensation on her left cheek, however, remained as stubborn as a ghost, still clearly imprinted on her nerve endings.
The pain was like a red-hot branding iron, leaving a mark of shame on her face; the tingling sensation was like a cold, venomous snake, writhing freely within her body, reminding her of the humiliation she had just suffered.
With each breath, with each blink, the feeling grew clearer, making it impossible for her to escape or forget.
Just ten minutes ago, at the entrance of this dazzling and brightly lit club, Chen Ziyan was like a proud queen, rehearsing countless scenes in her mind of Xiao Chen groveling and begging at her feet, looking utterly pathetic.
She imagined Xiao Chen kneeling before her, his eyes filled with fear and despair, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his mouth constantly begging for mercy.
She wanted to see him weep bitterly, tears blurring his vision, snot running down his face; she wanted to see his dignity shattered, like a stray dog, wantonly trampled and humiliated by her.
She had even planned out the harsh words she would use to mock him, and the cruel methods she would use to torture him, making him pay a terrible price for his actions.
She never imagined that she would be the one who ended up looking like a dog, her dignity trampled into the mud!
At that moment, she felt as if her whole world had collapsed, and all her pride and confidence vanished in an instant.
She was like a clown stripped of his glamorous clothes, exposed to the gaze of the crowd, enduring endless ridicule and humiliation. Those few casually mentioned yet piercingly incisive threats were like poisoned needles tempered with ice, carrying a deadly chill and deadly venom, repeatedly piercing and echoing in her mind.
"To completely erase the Chen family from the ancient city?"
These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into her heart, causing her unbearable pain.
Every word was like a resounding slap across her face, leaving her utterly humiliated.
What an arrogant tone!
She gritted her teeth angrily, making a grinding sound, her eyes burning with fury.
Looking across the entire ancient city, and even the entire western region, who would dare utter such arrogant words in front of Chen Ziyan?!
The Chen family holds a pivotal position in the ancient city, with deep-rooted family power and extensive connections, commanding respect from both the legitimate and underworld circles.
Chen Ziyan is the apple of the eye of the Chen family. She has been pampered since childhood and has always gotten whatever she wanted. When has she ever suffered such grievances and humiliation?
Who does Xiao Chen even think he is!
In her eyes, Xiao Chen was nothing more than an ant struggling to survive at the bottom of society, relying on a little bit of cleverness.
He had no background, no power, no wealth; he was like an insignificant ant, whom she could crush at any moment.
Yet this very person she looked down upon caused her such immense humiliation. How could she possibly swallow this insult?
She shook her head violently, trying to dispel the suffocating dizziness.
But the dizziness was like a stubborn demon, clinging tightly to her, making her vision go black and her body sway involuntarily.
Her carefully styled wavy hair was now somewhat disheveled, with a few strands falling onto her cheeks, making her look particularly disheveled.
One of the shoulder straps of the expensive champagne-colored dress was torn off during the tug-of-war, exposing half of her rounded shoulder to the chilly air. Red marks remained on her fair skin, the marks left by Xiao Chen when he pulled her.
Her dress was stained with dust and dirt, and she looked disheveled, like a flower ravaged by a storm, having lost its former luster and beauty.
Fortunately, the security guards at the entrance of the club were standing tall and straight, like well-trained soldiers, dutifully keeping their eyes on the front.
Their gazes were focused and unwavering, as if everything around them was irrelevant, their eyes fixed intently on the distant horizon where danger might lurk.
That's why they didn't notice the embarrassing scene that had just happened in this corner, a scene that was enough to shake the entire upper class of the ancient city and spark countless discussions and speculations.
Chen Ziyan felt her legs were still trembling slightly, and every step she took felt like she had used up all her strength.
But she forced herself to stand up straight, trying her best to make herself look less disheveled.
Her eyes held an almost obsessive desire to verify as she stared intently in the direction Xiao Chen had disappeared. (End of Chapter)
