CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 455: HE DOESN’T NEED YOU (5)

Tang Yanqi had never before hated anyone so deeply. She knew well that her mother almost had no chance of waking up, and it was already a miracle she had held on for so many years.

But that didn’t justify them having the right to take away her mother’s life, and in such a cruel manner.

Tang Ruhai had the body cremated nearby, and Tang Yanqi returned to B City holding the urn. She hadn’t expected that within just two days, she would visit the crematorium twice.

Tang Yanqi bought a grave in the suburbs’ cemetery for a high price and in the shortest time. Staring at the words on the tombstone, she stood still.

Only the three people from her dormitory knew about her mother’s death, and they were the only ones who accompanied her to the grave.

"Tangtang..."

From Mr. Sheng’s passing to burying her mother’s ashes, it had been just a week, and Tang Yanqi seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her already frail body looked even more so under the dark sky.

Bai Bing came forward to support her, Tang Yanqi’s face was calm, just too pale.

"Tangtang, my condolences."

Tang Yanqi’s hands at her sides were tightly clenched. After a long time, she turned her head with difficulty, "I’m okay."

The way she looked, how could she be okay? Qi Cheng couldn’t help but speak, "Tangtang, report it to the police. This was premeditated murder."

There was no light in Tang Yanqi’s eyes, and she shook her head, "It’s useless."

Heartbroken and devastated, angry and resentful, but after all those emotions, she clearly understood that Tang Ruhai was not wrong. Without the Sheng Family’s backing, she couldn’t fight the Tang Family.

The Tang Family didn’t dare provoke her before because she was the Young Madam of the Sheng Family. If she didn’t cooperate, the partnership between the Tang Family and Shengshi Group might fall through.

To put it bluntly, the Tang Family needed her then, so she had some leverage.

But with Mr. Sheng’s passing and the rumors circulating outside, the Tang Family now wished to dissociate from her, and the Sheng Family wouldn’t take her in either.

As she was, how could she possibly fight against the Tang Family?

Let alone revenge, her own life might also be doomed.

"Talk to Sheng Jianan, he can’t really ignore you, can he?"

Qi Cheng felt a bit indignant, but Tang Yanqi didn’t speak anymore.

Talk to Sheng Jianan?

Hadn’t she tried?

On the first day back from there, she left her mother’s urn in the apartment and went to the Sheng Family’s old house, only to be told that Sheng Jianan didn’t want to see her. No matter how she pleaded, the only response she got was that Sheng Jianan did not want to see her.

Later, she came back, called Sheng Jianan, but no one answered. She texted him, but there was no reply. When she finally received a message from him, it was only: [Tang Yanqi, I never want to see you again in my life]

If her mother’s death was the last straw that broke her, then Sheng Jianan’s words became the blade that crushed her to pieces.

After leaving the grave and returning to the city, Tang Yanqi got off the car in the city center, "I have something to do. I’ll return to school later. You guys go back first."

"Tangtang, we’ll stay with you."

Tang Yanqi shook her head, "No, there are some things I need to handle myself."

Qi Cheng opened her mouth to say something, but Bai Bing reached out and pulled her, "Chengzi, let’s go first."

Tang Yanqi exchanged a glance with Bai Bing, gave her a grateful look, and then turned to walk towards the sidewalk.

"She won’t think of doing something rash, will she?"
