Chapter 3125: You Fell in Love With Me?

“I just wanted to talk to you. Relax,” Gong Rong comforted her. “No need to be so tense.”

Ning Shu was genuinely terrified of this kind of split-personality madness.

Every person who wanted her dead always had that same gentle, doting look. They acted like death was some kind of gift to her.

What the hell did she ever do to offend these lunatics?

“You fell in love with me?” Ning Shu decided to disgust him a little.

“Fell in love with you?” Gong Rong tilted his head at her. He actually looked somewhat innocent.

“I’ve never been in love with anyone before, but I know that love is supposed to be something beautiful. It’s wanting the other person to live well, always thinking about them, willing to make sacrifices for them.

“But when it comes to you, I just want to drag you with me into the underworld.”

Ning Shu: …

“So you hate me, then,” she said, the corners of her mouth twitching. He hated her so much that he wanted them to die together.

Gong Rong shook his head. “I don’t hate you.”

“It’s just that… dying alone feels too lonely. But if you’re there, then it won’t be so lonely anymore.”

Ning Shu: …

Now she understood. In Gong Rong’s mind, she was just a lower-class person. She was not even worthy of being hated. Her role in his eyes was just like those of the ancient concubines or slaves who were buried alive to accompany their masters in death.

It was like he thought that if someone followed him to the grave, then even in the afterlife, he’d have someone by his side to serve him.

She felt utterly speechless.

“Your mother is currently being watched by my people,” Gong Rong said calmly. “One phone call from me, and she’ll die in an ‘accident.’”

Ning Shu closed her eyes. She hated being threatened like this. She felt like someone had their hand around her throat.

Li Zhao had already drawn his gun from his waist. The gun was fitted with a suppressor. It would only take one word from Gong Rong for him to pull the trigger.

The atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

Just as things reached a breaking point, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Li Zhao tucked the gun back into his waistband and went to open it. It was Gong Yi, the one who’d left earlier.

He glanced between Gong Rong and Ning Shu, seemingly trying to guess the nature of their relationship.

“Uncle, I forgot to tell you something,” Gong Yi said. Then, he paused briefly. Ning Shu immediately cut in, “You two talk, I’m leaving.”

Gong Rong stopped her. “You finally made it here. Stay a bit longer.”

Then, Gong Yi shot her a look like a laser beam, like he wanted to see right through her.

With his rosy lips and white teeth, he clearly looked young, and the way he tried to act mature and composed only highlighted it. He was clearly trying to appear capable and trustworthy.

Still, he was no match for Gong Rong, even if Gong Rong was already at death’s door.

Ning Shu wondered if he was the new heir to the SR Conglomerate.

“Don’t look at me like that. There’s nothing going on between me and Gong Rong. I’m not pregnant. There won’t suddenly be some baby showing up to fight you over the inheritance. You can relax.

“Before today, I didn’t even know Gong Rong was a man,” Ning Shu said bluntly.

Gong Yi: …

Gong Rong said, “So, what did you want?”

“Uncle, I…” Honestly, Gong Yi just wanted to come in and see what was going on between his uncle and this woman.

As long as the heir hadn’t been officially named, there was still a chance things could change.

He’d been hesitating outside the door for ages before finally gathering the courage to knock.

Gong Rong merely said, “Before you do anything, always think about your way out. Don’t give anyone leverage over you—understand?

“Now go. I want to have a private word with your aunt.”

Ning Shu and Gong Yi both froze. Aunt!?

Gong Yi furrowed his eyebrows and gave Ning Shu a hard look before turning and walking out.

“Gong Rong, what the hell do you mean by that?” Ning Shu snapped. He was about to die, and now he was slapping the title of ‘Madame Gong’ on her!?
