Chapter 1873: The Birds and the Beasts Scatter

Earlier, they had actually followed that idiot and worked with her.

Who knew if she would be angry enough to go after them to settle the score afterward?

Shi Yalin nestled into her mother’s embrace. Her previous arrogance now dissolved into self-pity. She looked like a little white flower struggling to survive in a raging wind.

She was curled up for a long time before Nangong Nuannuan’s figure completely left her peripheral vision. Only then did the fear in Shi Yalin’s eyes shift to hatred.

She hated Nangong Nuannuan.

Nangong Nuannuan was the person she despised most in the world.

However, no matter how powerful she was, she would never figure out that the person she so wanted to kill had been standing right in front of her.

If one day, Feng Shengxuan passed the news of Viper’s death onto her, she would be in such disbelief that she had actually been so close to her!

Nangong Nuannuan, just you wait. I’ll always find a way to kill someone and deny them a burial!

Shi Yalin’s lips curled up into a cruel and bloodthirsty smile. In an instant, her character underwent an earth-shattering change. She was no longer the little white flower she had been just now.

Shi Yalin turned around and walked past them. The socialites and young masters who were watching her from afar had already buried their heads, not wanting any part of Shi Yalin’s bad luck.

However, sometimes, there was a price to pay for gossip.

Seeing that Shi Yalin was about to leave, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and their hearts lifted. However, a sudden cold, bone-chilling voice rose from behind them.

“I’ve already taken note of the few of you. If what just happened is ever brought again up in the future, even if it comes from someone else’s mouth, I will ensure you learn the consequences of gossiping. When push comes to shove and your families either go bankrupt or are destroyed, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Upon saying that, Shi Yalin left without looking back—leaving behind a group of pale-faced socialites and young masters.

Just a moment ago, they thought that Shi Yalin had completed regressed to being a small white flower. However, they now realized that this was not the case. She was still domineering—it was just that Nangong Nuannuan was even more domineering than she was.

Originally, they had been excited to spread the news of what they had just seen and let the others know that Nangong Nuannuan was the one that they really should not provoke.

However, Shi Yalin’s warning would forever seal their lips and prevent them from gossiping.

After all, compared to a bit of gossip, the rise and fall of a family was much more important.

The group of socialites and young masters looked at each other for a while before dispersing.

Even though they did not discuss it, they all saw each other’s fearful eyes.

The understanding between them was that despite her power, the Shi family’s eldest daughter was afraid of the Nangong family’s eldest daughter. Even the entire Shi family was afraid of the Nangong family’s eldest daughter! However, they could not tell anyone about this!

“Yalin, what did Nangong Nuannuan say to you just now? Did she want to kill you?”

Pei Jiyun asked this anxiously once they returned to the main building.

Shi Yalin sneered. “Mom, don’t worry. I begged her to let me off so pitifully just now. Given the Shi family’s attitude toward her, if she thinks that we’re aware of her identity, she’ll think we’re afraid of who she is. She’ll think we wouldn’t dare do anything to her.”
