Today, she went to find Ling Chi Yuan, originally believing she would succeed.
Instead, she was cruelly humiliated by Ling Chi Yuan in front of everyone.
She became the laughingstock of Chun Man Yuan.
Ling Chi Yuan said: "Look at yourself, with your looks, you dare to appear before me? You have truly dirtied my eyes. You are not even worthy of carrying Feng Ran's shoes."
These words deeply wounded Huang Qian Qian, making her resent Feng Ran completely.
Feng Ran, in her pain, had no energy to deal with Huang Qian Qian.
She took out the medicine Sheng Yi had given her from under the pillow. Her hand trembled as she poured one pill into her palm. Just as she was about to take it, Huang Qian Qian rushed forward, snatched the pill from her hand, and threw it on the ground, stomping on it with her foot.
"Feng Ran, you vile creature, how dare you take medicine? You deserve to die."
Ling Chi Yuan's humiliation only intensified Huang Qian Qian's dislike for Feng Ran, making her view Feng Ran as an enemy.
She thought that if Feng Ran hadn't used some unspeakable means to seduce Ling Chi Yuan, Ling Chi Yuan wouldn't have treated her that way. All the fault lay with Feng Ran.
Feng Ran didn't understand why Huang Qian Qian was acting this way, nor did she wish to know or pay attention to why the person before her had appeared in her room in such a furious state.
"This is my private room."
Feng Ran said coldly. She wanted Huang Qian Qian to understand what kind of place this was and whose it was.
Huang Qian Qian sneered and said mockingly, "Feng Ran, how dare you say such things to me? What right do you have to say them?"
"What right do you have?"
What right did she have to say it? Then why didn't she have the right? She and Huang Qian Qian were both at Chun Man Yuan, they were the same. What made them different? No one was superior to another.
Feng Ran glanced at the seemingly insane Huang Qian Qian, who looked like a rabid dog ready to bite at any moment. She disdained having any further arguments with such a person. Speaking with her was a waste of time. Her head was heavy, and her body ached, making it hard to breathe.
Huang Qian Qian roughly grabbed Feng Ran's wrist and said contemptuously, "Feng Ran, what did you say to Ling Chi Yuan? What spell did you cast on him to make him so infatuated with you?"
"What underhanded methods did you use?" Huang Qian Qian placed her hands on Feng Ran's shoulders and shook her violently.
Feng Ran, completely exhausted, no longer wanted to deal with anything. She forced herself to endure the discomfort, her brow furrowed, utterly disgusted by Huang Qian Qian's relentless pestering.
She said coldly, "Huang Qian Qian, get out."
For the first time, she was enraged.
Huang Qian Qian's face flushed, and she froze, never expecting Feng Ran to say such words.
Huang Qian Qian, as if gone mad, began pulling Feng Ran's hair, like a shrew cursing in the street: "Feng Ran, you have the right? What makes you think you can tell me to get out?"
"This is my private room."
"Huang Qian Qian, don't force me to tear down this facade. When that happens, you'll be the one losing all face, not me."
"You constantly insult me, saying I use vulgar methods. Who is it that uses vulgar methods? You are merely disgusting and didn't succeed, so you vent your anger on me, is that it?"
"I ignored you before, letting you do as you pleased, because I thought it unnecessary."
"But now I am tired and want peace. If you don't respect yourself, I don't mind exposing everything you've done."
"Then, it will be clear who is the joke and who is vulgar."
Feng Ran's cold reprimand was the first time she had spoken such harsh words. For years, she had endured and yielded. But now, she was simply too tired. Her hands clenched tightly, her lips bitten, her face pale, sweat covering her back. Faint groans of pain escaped her.
Huang Qian Qian began to feel a little scared. She did indeed have a weakness that Feng Ran held. However, Feng Ran had always been timid and submissive, making her forget that incident. But now that Feng Ran brought it up, she couldn't pretend nothing had happened. She looked at Feng Ran unwillingly. That incident, she had been too hasty, which allowed Feng Ran to catch her. She never expected Feng Ran to be so despicable.
"Feng Ran, if outsiders find out about that incident, you know what your fate will be."
"Feng Ran, Ling Chi Yuan is mine. Stop your foolish fantasies." Huang Qian Qian warned viciously.
Feng Ran no longer wanted to speak.
However, Huang Qian Qian remained there.
"Huang Qian Qian, leave. As long as you leave, the things you worry about will never happen." Her voice was weak.
At this moment, Feng Ran was completely drained of strength. The poison in her body had taken effect. This poison was administered by Xuan Yuan Heng's men. He had truly succeeded in making her neither human nor ghost for all eternity.
"Feng Ran, don't get cocky. Do you really think Ling Chi Yuan has feelings for you?"
"Ha, he just finds you amusing. When he gets tired of playing, you'll be discarded."
Feng Ran threw the hairpin Ling Chi Yuan had thrust into her hand that day onto the ground and said coldly, "You've been pestering me endlessly, isn't it all for this? Take it."
"Huang Qian Qian, you have what you wanted. Can you leave now?"
This hairpin, Ling Chi Yuan had forced into her hand that day. She kept it, intending to return it to him when she saw him again. Judging by its craftsmanship, it seemed quite old. She didn't want any connection with Ling Chi Yuan, so naturally, the hairpin had to be returned.
She gave the hairpin to Huang Qian Qian. Knowing Huang Qian Qian's personality, she would surely wear it and boast about it. Then Ling Chi Yuan would know. She would find an opportunity to explain then.
"You... Feng Ran, what do you mean?" Huang Qian Qian glared at Feng Ran and questioned, but her body obediently crouched down, picked up the hairpin, wiped it carefully, and tucked it into her embrace, a smile on her face.
She looked at Feng Ran and said coldly, "Feng Ran, don't falsely accuse me. How would I know about the hairpin?"
"However, since you don't cherish it, I'll keep it for you for now. When I see Ling Chi Yuan, I'll return it to him personally."
"Naturally, when I see Ling Chi Yuan, I will also tell him that you discarded the hairpin. I will report it truthfully," Huang Qian Qian said with a smile.
Feng Ran blinked slightly at Huang Qian Qian's words but didn't pay much attention. Arguing was useless. Looking at the triumphant Huang Qian Qian, she finally swallowed the words she was about to speak.
