Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened and he called out again, “Song Yuanxi, come down at once!”
“No, Brother Liangchuan. You’re my only family and now you’re abandoning me. Why do you care if I live or die?”
Shen Liangchuan took in another deep breath and repeated what he said, “Come down here at once. I am not abandoning you.”
Song Yuanxi’s eyes lit up. “Brother Liangchuan, do you mean you’re not sending me away anymore?”
Qiao Lian stood away in a dark corner, afraid that her presence would agitate Song Yuanxi.
However, the moment she heard this, she realized Song Yuanxi had been waiting for them.
She did not want to be sent abroad, so she was using her own life and death to blackmail Shen Liangchuan.
Qiao Lian bit her lip.
She knew that Shen Liangchuan would not just stand there and do nothing. Even if it were an ordinary person instead of Song Yuanxi, he would surely do something about it—what wouldn’t he do for his late first love’s own sister?
Qiao Lian clenched her fists and looked at Shen Liangchuan.
Suddenly, she felt exhausted and completely helpless.
Perhaps the more he tried to get rid of this burden from his past, the tighter it would cling onto him.
She understood how he must be feeling at this very moment.
How could he watch his first love’s sister kill herself?!
She harshly bit her lip, feeling that life was only full of gloom. She saw no light at the end of the tunnel at all.
Qiao Lian did not speak a single word, but stood there silently and watched.
She thought that Shen Liangchuan would relent and come to a compromise.
But to her great surprise, when Shen Liangchuan finally spoke, he said instead, “Even if you went abroad, you’d still be my sister.”
Qiao Lian was stunned by his words and looked up.
Her eyes lit up at once.
At this point, she had thought that even if Shen Liangchuan had agreed not to send Song Yuanxi away, she couldn’t blame him.
But she did not expect him to be so resolute in his decision.
She wasn’t the only one who was surprised. Song Yuanxi herself obviously did not expect this outcome. Her expression changed at once.
She bit her lip. “Brother Liangchuan, how can you be so heartless?!”
Shen Liangchuan looked at her intently and replied, “Yuanxi, it will be good for everyone if you went away.”
“No! I don’t want to! If you send me away, I will kill myself!”
Having said that, she took a step backwards.
She had been standing very near the edge of the roof to begin with. And now she was dangerously on the verge of falling over!
Shen Liangchuan saw how devastated she was and narrowed his eyes.
The policeman quickly intervened and said, “Mr. Shen, please don’t agitate her. Just go with what she says and then talk to her again once she comes down. We’re talking about a life here, please don’t take it lightly!”
The other policeman nearby nodded and agreed, “That’s right. She says she doesn’t want to go abroad. Just agree first and we’ll talk to her later!”
Shen Liangchuan was a public figure, both policemen had recognized him.
However, because they were on a high-rise building, the people below could not see his face clearly.
Looking straight at Song Yuanxi, he said coldly, “Song Yuanxi, do not test my last bit of patience and tolerance towards you.”
With these words, Song Yuanxi’s hopes were completely crushed.
She looked back at Shen Liangchuan and, finally, bit her lip.
At once, she lowered her voice and said, “I can go. And I can stop setting her up, but can you promise me something?”
Shen Liangchuan’s face was tense and he kept silent.
Still looking at him intently, she continued, “I want you to divorce that woman! Otherwise, I will jump off the building!”
Shen Liangchuan’s expression was determined and he didn’t think twice before saying, “That is impossible!”
Impossible.
Song Yuanxi’s pupils shrank at once. She suddenly turned around as she said, “I mean what I say!”
As she said these words, her feet left the ground and she jumped forward.
