CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 209: BEG

Chapter 209: Beg

"Your sister was allergic to cats! Young master, you know that the cat was everywhere near the mansion and I have to do something for her!" She anxiously explains.

"But that’s not a reason to kill him!" Shen Lou argues with a clench fists.

"Your sister went sick because of it!" Nanny Liu remembers a certain incident and quickly confesses it. "I remember the time that that cat wanted to scratch her but she dodged away. However, the cat’s fur still made her allergic. She had a high fever and was sent to the hospital for it!" After telling that story, a relief flashed to her mind when she saw that the young man was stunned.

She immediately grabs that chance and continues to play pity. "Young master, you know that I took care of the young lady ever since she was a child. I treated her as my daughter so when your cat hurt her, I was enraged and made a mistake." She also performed a deep bow in front of Shen Lou.

She heard the gasp in surprise from the crowd but that even motivates her. "Y-Young master, please have pity on me. I-I cannot find any job after I was fired. Please let me be! I also want to see the young lady even for the last time to say goodbye! Please help me, I’m begging you!"

"..."

Silence envelops the whole backstage as they listen to the woman’s words. Even if they felt bad for the cat’s tragic end, does she have a reason too? She was enraged because the cat hurt someone she dear and that was even Shen Lou’s sister.

If it were them, who was even more important? Your relative or your pet?

And judging from what happened, she was fired, right?

For a moment, a look of complexity appeared on the crowd’s face as they looked at Shen Lou.

Is Shen Lou treating his pet more important than his sister? But they heard he was affected by the news that Shen Zhi went away and even worked hard for today’s performance for her...

... then what is this?

Or he was just faking it? Does he really care about his sister?

Sensing Shen Lou’s discomfort, He Yan couldn’t help but glare at the woman.

"Why are you putting the pressure on Brother Lou for what happened to you?! This is extremely outrageous!"

Nanny Liu put a pitiful expression on her face as she smiled bitterly. "I-I’m sorry, Young master He, but I couldn’t find anyone to help me! I don’t want to pressure the young master but I really need help! If what I did to the cat was not right then I can be punished! Just please don’t let my family suffer too! Please, I beg you!"

As she continues pleading, the atmosphere in the backstage gets weirder and weirder. Various expressions were painted on the trainee’s face as they looked at the situation.

Disbelief, doubt and even disappointment because they felt like Shen Lou was very different from what they knew.

Why does it seem like he was very selfish too? Although killing that cat was not reasonable, did she just do that because of her care to his own sister? And even if they really punished her, was that too bad that they even cut off their only way to live?

"What about Lieutenant Commander Shen? She really just fired her even if she was the one who took care of her? She even avenges that cat who almost sent her to death. Wasn’t that kind of ungrateful?" A murmur from some trainees was heard amidst the chaos. Other people also begin to chime in.

"I’m kinda disappointed. Is this how they treat their people privately? It’s so different from what I’ve heard. Tsk tsk, there’s really something among such privileged people like them." Whispers like that started to envelop the backstage and Shen Lou’s body became stiff.

It was the first time that he was inside this kind of situation.

He was like under the eyes of the crowd, but not within their admiration. This time, it was somehow filled with contempt and hidden disdain.

"..." Shen Lou felt like he was in the middle of an iceberg that seemed to melt anytime soon from their heated words that stabbed him.

Seeing that the situation is getting worse, Nanny Liu laughs heartedly inside her. She couldn’t believe how easy it was to manipulate the crowd but she somehow expected it because most of them are just young children who haven’t been exposed to society yet. Just like some lambs waiting for the wolves to slaughter them.

But this was more favorable to her. If she could push Shen Lou to get her back to the mansion, she must try harder on putting Shen Zhi on her side this time.

What happened at the office really left her in disbelief because how could Shen Zhi just fired her like that?! Did she waste so many years on taking care of her petty dramas for her to kick her out of the house? How useless!

How many years she endured her dramas and talked on how to comfort her when she was left alone on the side?! She was the one who didn’t leave when the Shen family chose to kick her out from being the heir and she was also with her through her fights when she was pulled back again.

Is that how that bitch pays her? Then she won’t hesitate on ruining them too!

Nanny Liu was about to add the fuel again when a young man suddenly stepped up in front of Shen Lou.

Her brows frowned due to an intruder and raised her head.

"!!!" However, what eyes greeted her made her whole body stiffen.

It was a young man who looked very cold and intimidating. His eyes were sharp as he looked straight at her, making her feel like all the mask she wears right now was not played well in front of this young man.

Nanny Liu subconsciously held her breath when the young man was looking at her with such an indescribable gaze that seems tp penetrate her soul.

"Are you sure that there’s only blood stained from the cat in your hands?"

And the piercing words that he uttered from his mouth made her feel like a thunder smash down in front of her.

"!!!"

"???!!" Such words made the crowd also gasp in surprise.

What did they just hear from Qin An?!

"Y-Young man, what are you saying?" It was unknown whether Nanny Liu stammered due to her shock or for some reasons.

Qin An looked at the woman with a scrutinizing gaze. Her whole body is not just filled with resentment from one murder of a single cat... but there are many kinds of resentment around her.

It was as if she was enveloped with different dirt made from all the sins she secretly committed.

Murder, arson, abuse... the black mist of this woman looks very aggressive due to the various combinations of sins that gathered up inside her body.

Her hands were not only stained from Black’s but rather from many victims.

The hidden runes inside his eyes flashed. Such a heavy sinner must pay the price whether they are still alive or dead.

"You should leave." Qin An coldly warned the woman. "Sooner or later, all the sins you’ve committed will go back to you."

Some sins are so heavy that all the resentment from the victims will bring extreme bad luck to the perpetrators. This will affect their body slowly or it will send other problems to them.

As humans say, karma will always be there. It may be late but it will not go away.

"Y-Young man, are you accusing me?!" Nanny Liu’s expression couldn’t help but crack at the ambiguous words from Qin An. Her previous pitiful face has a faint anger that she couldn’t conceal no matter how she tried.

Because in front of someone like them, she felt like she was under the eyes of someone who can see the real monster inside her.

She wanted to continue the act but Han Suwen intervened.

He was crossing his arms and looked at her with disdain. "Why did you bring such pretentious drama here? If you’re not guilty, then why would you choose to be here on ’time’ when you know Shen Lou is busy? Are you really that desperate to go back to the life that wasn’t even your hard work or are you just playing pity in front of many people to push him to the edge?"

"Y-You!" Such straight forwardness made her face flush in anger and humiliation.

Han Suwen sneered, not caring about what others think about him and just wanted to break this woman’s mask off her face. "Why? Isn’t it the truth? You were just used to the extravagant life that Shen Lou’s family gave and thus you were so anxious to come back. If not, why can’t you wait and talk to this privately?"

"I-I said I was just desperate because the family is pushing my family to the edge. I... I-I was just scared!" Nanny Liu tried to defend herself. "B-Besides, I am also worried for Shen Zhi. I was her Nanny for many years! I don’t believe I am not more important than that cat!"

"You believe so? Then why were you fired?" Han Suwen rebutted.

Nanny Liu gritted her teeth and wanted to vomit blood in so much anger.

"I... I-I just..." Now she didn’t know what to say and just got speechless again.

"Please leave." Nan Moyi also stepped forward. "I already called the security. You are harassing Shen Lou and they can arrest you for trespassing and harassment."

Now she really wants to vomit blood in anger. These kids are teaming against her!

She opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word due to their sharp glares so in the end, she could only be left dejected.

Nanny Liu was planning to wait and plan for another scheme when she went out of the building, a man with a strong build blocked her way.

What made her face turn pale was she saw a familiar badge on the man’s chest that signified the Shen family and also some known people behind him.

A man behind gave her a wretched smile. "Liu, are you ready to pay off your debts now?"

And that’s when she knew that this time, she’s finally over.
