Chapter 5 The Person Who Kills You, The Ghost Who Takes Lives

• Boom.
• Liu Qianqian was shocked, and the cigarette in her hand fell to the ground.
• "Shen, Shen Lian!?"
• She held her breath, her eyes widened, as if she had seen a resurrected person, feeling uneasy.
• "Are you a human or a ghost!?"
• "I am the person who kills you, and the ghost is the one who takes lives. Do you think I am a human or a ghost?" Shen Lian took a step forward, scaring Liu Qianqian so much that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
• "Don't come any closer! If you want to defend Liu Ruoxing, go to the engagement banquet tonight. Do you dare?"
• She pretended to be calm and gritted her teeth.
• Although she could sense that Shen Lian had changed, being a coward was deeply ingrained in her and couldn't be changed.
• Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant at the engagement banquet tonight!
• "Fine!"
• "You go back and tell that Dong guy to prepare himself. Tonight, I will deal with him. As for your debts, we'll settle them slowly!"
• "Shen Lian, have you had enough of causing trouble?"
• "My affairs don't need your management," Shen Ruoxing pushed Shen Lian away angrily and coldly said to Liu Qianqian, "I won't attend the engagement banquet. You can leave!"
• Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian's face immediately darkened.
• She was about to curse, but when she saw Shen Lian standing aside and suppressing his anger, she held it back. "Shen Ruoxing, the fact that the Dong family personally arranged the engagement banquet shows that they value you. This is the opportunity that many people dream of, to marry into a wealthy family. Do you really want to spend your life with this criminal?"
• "You!"
• Shen Ruoxing clenched her wrist, but before she could speak, Liu Qianqian interrupted, "Who do you think you are? Last time, you didn't attend Grandfather's birthday banquet, and you almost gave him a heart attack. If you don't go this time, you might really cause something bad to happen. You will be responsible for the Liu family's downfall!"
• After saying this, Liu Qianqian turned and left.
• Shen Ruoxing's face looked extremely unpleasant. Originally, she had no intention of attending the engagement banquet, but when Liu Qianqian mentioned Grandfather Liu, she softened.
• After all, he was her own grandfather.
• Sigh.
• "Don't worry, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do!"
• Shen Lian wiped away the tears from Shen Ruoxing's eyes, speaking gently and firmly.
• Liu Ruqing's delicate body trembled as she looked sharply at Shen Lian. For some unknown reason, a glimmer of hope flickered in the corner of her eyes, but it quickly vanished.
• Smack.
• She slapped away Shen Lian's hand and stared at him coldly.
• "Shen Lian, how arrogant and conceited must you be to say such things?"
• "Do you think this place is still a prison where everything can be resolved through brute force? You are too naive. I don't need your compensation, and I will never forgive you!"
• "Just get lost!"
• Liu Ruqing shouted loudly, and Shen Lian could only turn and leave.
• But before he reached the end of the alley, he heard Liu Ruqing's loud cries from behind. It felt as if Shen Lian's heart had been stung by a venomous bee.
• At the same time, an inexplicable anger surged within him.
• ...
• Phoenix Grand Hotel.
• The engagement banquet of the Liu family was being held here.
• Although the Liu family was not considered a top-tier aristocratic family in Zhonghai City, they were still considered upper-middle class.
• They had booked the entire Phoenix Grand Hotel for this occasion.
• In order to gain favor with the Dong family, Old Master Liu had spared no effort. Little did he know that in the end, his hopes would fall on Liu Ruqing, who had been expelled from the family seven years ago.
• Dong Pengcheng, the young master of the Dong family, had actually taken a liking to Liu Ruqing. This came as a great surprise to everyone in the Liu family.
• Therefore, this time, Liu Ruqing was directly arranged to sit next to Old Master Liu.
• "Look, isn't that Liu Ruqing? And isn't that the illegitimate child she's holding in her arms, the one from seven years ago?"
• "Oh my god, it really is that illegitimate child. How dare she bring him here!?"
• Soon, the news of Liu Ruqing bringing her child spread among the Liu family members. The lively atmosphere instantly became awkward, and everyone stared at her with unfriendly expressions.
• "Liu Ruqing, are you deliberately trying to provoke your grandfather? Why else would you bring this illegitimate child? Why don't you bring your criminal husband along as well?"
