The more ruthless he was, the more unbelievably handsome his face was. It was as if he could see through people’s hearts. His words were all aimed at what Shen Miao was most worried about. When Shen Miao was reborn, she wanted nothing more than for the Shen family to be safe and sound. She wanted nothing more than to take revenge. If she died here, everything would come to an end. There was no sympathy or pity in Xie Jingxing’s eyes. He was truly cold and heartless. No matter what her identity was, even if she was a royal princess today, she would definitely not be able to get out of here unscathed since she had already found out the relationship between Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing]. This was the reason why she risked her life to fight back just now. Otherwise, with her cautious personality, she would not use such a risky method until the last moment.

The smiling faces of Wanyu and Fu Ming suddenly flashed past her mind. Shen Miao’s eyes widened, and two streams of tears flowed down her face.

She was really unwilling to die here just like that.

When Xie Jingxing saw her tears, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her inquisitively. He didn’t forget how badly Shen Miao wanted to take his life just now. A woman who used tears to gain sympathy wouldn’t work with him.

However, Shen Miao only widened her eyes and cried silently. There was no sign of her wanting to beg for mercy or weakness in her eyes. Her silent tears suddenly made people’s hearts tighten and inexplicably sad. It was as if she had already experienced pain that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people and was so hopeless that her tears came out before her body collapsed.

‘Xie Jingxing frowned at her and gradually relaxed his grip on Shen Miao’s throat.

Shen Miao did not notice it at all. Finally, Xie Jingxing put down his hand, looking a little helpless. He was tall, and pushing a little girl into the corner made him feel a little strange, as if he was bullying a child, although he knew very well that Shen Miao was not a child at all.

A moment later, he finally pulled out the hairpin on his arm. It hurt a lot to pull out the hairpin. Xie Jingxing frowned as he played with the hairpin in his hand. Seeing Shen Miao staring at him, he immediately felt inexplicably awkward. He said, “Don’t cry. I won’t kill you.” After a pause, he added, “I was just scaring you.”

Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that Xie Jingxing was not scaring her. The killing intent just now was really strong, and he really wanted to kill her. In the end, he became soft-hearted because of the tears she shed. As for why, Shen Miao did not know.

Xie Jingxing said, “How did you find this place?”

“I once saw my third uncle copying this painting by Liu Yuan at home. When I was running my finger across the paint, I accidentally found the button that opens the secret room. I was curious so I entered, but I didn’t expect to meet you guys.”

Xie Jingxing looked at her with a faint smile. “Shen Wan?”

Shen Miao lied without changing her expression. “Yes.”

“Little girl, I’m not the Chen brothers. Don’t use me as a knife to get rid of people you want to get rid of,” Xie Jingxing said lazily. Shen Miao was a bad person to the core. Even at this point, she still wanted to plot against Shen Wan.

“I didn’t see or hear anything today. If you don’t make things difficult for me, I naturally won’t make things difficult for you.” Shen Miao looked at him. “Let’s mind our own business.”

“You can’t make things difficult for me.” Xie Jingxing’s arrogant tone made people grit their teeth in hatred. He said, “I’ll spare your life today. If a word of this matter goes out, I’ll make sure your Shen family ceases to exist.”

Shen Miao replied quickly, “I won’t say a word.”

Xie Jingxing was obviously very satisfied with her attitude. He was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “Shen Miao, do you have a grudge against the Fu family?”
