The Favored Heiress

The engagement of the most adored daughter of the Li Family was broken off. Her furious family members railed against the heartless man and vowed to make him pay the price. * Later on, Li Qiao met her ex-fiancé’s big brother by chance. Some said he was the most mysterious man in Nanyang and his name was Shang Yu, aka Shang Shaoyan. While some others called him the overbearing and obsessive underground Overlord of Nanyang from whom everyone should stay away. Standing in the misty rain, Li Qiao gazed at the ruthless and untamed man with a shallow smile, said, “Hello, I’m Li Qiao.” She would become her ex-fiancé’s sister-in-law, if not wife. * Li Qiao and her ex-fiancé met again on the street several months later when he sneered at her, “Are you following me? Haven’t you given up hope yet?” A harsh voice berated him from behind, “Show some respect to your sister-in-law!” From now on, only one rumor was circulating in Nanyang City – The merciless Overlord of Nanyang had one woman he uncritically doted on. Her name was Li Qiao.

Chapter 134: Master Yan's Home Is Indeed High-Tech

Yet... Shang Zonghai sipped his tea and did not respond to Li Qiao immediately.

After a moment, he set his teacup down on the small table in front of him, before he finally spoke softly, "In life, everyone has regrets, but as long as you're alive, there's always a chance to make amends."

Those words were too profound.

Li Qiao could even predict that even if she were to ask Shang Zonghai directly, he would definitely not tell the truth.

Because from the beginning, he had never intended to say much.

It was as if he were a hunter waiting for a rabbit, luring her step by step into the 'trap' he had dug.

Half an hour later, Li Qiao returned to the guest room next door.

The moment she closed the door, she leaned against it and took deep breaths in frustration.

In a battle of wits with the exceedingly cunning Shang Zonghai, Li Qiao admitted she was at a disadvantage.

Without any winning chips in her hand, every time she subtly probed, Shang Zonghai deflected her attempts with ease.
