Zhao Jinghai just stared quietly at Zhao Nuanyue. After a long moment, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Zhao Nuanyue, you're ruthless!"
"Not as ruthless as you! I'm a lamb to the slaughter right now, completely at your mercy, aren't I?" Zhao Nuanyue sneered. "Alright, stop acting pitiful, and don't try to play tough in front of me. I'm already in this situation; I don't mind if things get even worse. I'm not falling for your act. Our deal is simple: you are not to lay a hand on my brother, or else..."
"Aren't you worried about your mother? She cares so much about you both," Zhao Jinghai retorted. He felt that this Zhao Nuanyue was becoming harder and harder to control. At the same time, he wondered, 'Is her brother the only one in her heart?'
'What about Xia Yingyu? Does she not have a place in her heart at all?'
Zhao Jinghai found Zhao Nuanyue to be an utterly cold-hearted person.
This Zhao Jinghai was far too naive, thinking he could still use Xia Yingyu to control her.
