Chapter 656 - Madwoman

Guan Tang sat up straight before she said with a sigh, “Initially, I planned to kill you. However, I’m not familiar with this city so it won’t be easy to dispose of your corpse. In any case, I’ve changed my mind now. It’s good to keep you around so I can chat with you and also for you to be an audience. I don’t have any friends and have no one to confide in. No one has ever listened to me seriously like you do…”

Guan Tang paused, looking as though she was thinking about something seriously before she said, “I’ve never talked so much to another person before. Who would listen to someone like me?”

Jiahui was rendered speechless by Guan Tang. After a moment, she looked at Guan Tang with an expression of pity as she asked, “Don’t you have a job?”

“A job?” Guan Tang laughed as though she had heard a funny joke. “Why do I have to work and earn money? What kind of job do you think suits me?”

Jiahui asked patiently, “What did you study in university?”

Guan Tang glanced at Jiahui as she said, “Naturally, I studied business management. Don’t try to understand me with your knowledge. It’s useless. We’re from two different worlds. In my world, what I study has nothing to do with what I do in life. Whether it’s my family or my in-laws, what I studied isn’t important. In the eyes of my family, I’m an outsider. After all, sooner or later, I’d be married into another family. As for my in-laws, I’m also an outsider. The best for me is to be a full-time housewife. I’d dress up beautifully every day and live a comfortable life. Independent women are rare in families like ours.”

Jiahui looked at the jaded young woman in front of her and said, “How pitiful that you can’t be yourself… You must be unhappy…”

Guan Tang lowered her gaze and chuckled. “So what if I’m unhappy? I’ll feel happy as soon as I see others in pain. For example, when I went to search for you with your friends, I felt very happy when I saw how anxious they were. It made me even more satisfied when they were nice to me because I helped them to look for you. I like the feeling of blending in with the crowd and doing bad things without anyone knowing.”

Guan Tang laughed until she cried after she finished speaking. After a while, she wiped her tears away with elegant movements before she rose to her feet. Then, she said with a smile, “You must have been worried all night and didn’t sleep well, right? You should rest now and wait to see how I snatch your fiance away from you and make him mine. I must make you understand that all men are the same. Back then, Yin Jia’s boyfriend loved her so much, but in the end, didn’t he still throw himself at me?”

Guan Tang’s expression changed immediately after she finished speaking and left the room.

Jiahui thought to herself helplessly, ‘This woman is mad. She’s been driven mad by her family.’

However, Jiahui was filled with hope when she recalled Guan Tang had said that she no longer intended to kill her. At the very least, she had some breathing room now. Her biggest problem now was to escape from this place.

…

On the other side.

Everyone returned empty-handed after searching for Jiahui.

Cheng Che’s expression was extremely unsightly. After all, it was as though Jiahui had vanished into thin air; there was no clue at all.

Mu Chen said in an attempt to reassure Cheng Che, “Don’t worry. We’ve already made a police report. Apart from that, our men are also looking for her. There’ll definitely be news.”

Cheng Che remained silent. He was at a loss over what to do, and an ominous feeling lingered in his heart.

Song Ning said with a frown, “I keep feeling there’s something wrong with Guan Tang, but I can’t place my fingers on it…”

Jiang Jin said in a deep voice, “Let’s not worry about that now.” Then, she said to her two grandsons, “Send out all your men. Nothing is as important as Jiahui now. You must bring Jiahui back!”

Cheng Che looked at his grandmother gratefully, and his heart was filled with emotions.
