The plot collapses: All the heroines are broken!

Chapter 73 Mei Qing Feels It’s Okay For Su Chen To Be Cold-Hearted And Ruthless.

?

Listening to her words, it was not Su Chen was not confident of his tactics, but he still decided to be extra sure and used his hidden eyes on her-

[Mei Qing, first heroine, favorability-71]

Even though it was a single line, he was fully satisfied. As the first heroine, she has her own arrogance and thoughts. Had the favourability been much more, say 80 or even 90, then what's the difference between her and the other heroines?

Do you know when he managed to hug her in the fourth plot collapse, he remembered the system vaguely mentioned that her favourability was just around 60, compared to the past, he seemed to have improved a lot now~

"Okay, now get up!"

Hearing Su Chen's words this time, Mei Qing didn't dare be presumptuous anymore.

Since he had already given her a way out, she will use this opportunity to the fullest.

Currently, she is well aware that their relationship has begun anew, given enough time, she is confident that with her charm and talent, even if she can't be the main wife, at least her status won't be much less in his heart.

Feeling excited, she reluctantly released her grip on Su Chen and stood up.

Su Chen had many important matters to do today, he had calculated that by afternoon, Zhu Family won't be able to hold on. 

'There must have been a lot of strong people who have already died the past two days on their side.'

'Let's meet the martial art heroine.'

"Okay, you can leave when you want, I have something to do."

Su Chen got up and after tidying up his clothes, he started walking towards the room where Zhu Qing was held.

 Mei Qing was hesitant, she still hadn't told him that her father had forced an engagement contract with the Quan family. How can she leave like this? 

Unless she got some reassurance from Su Chen, she wasn't going back home.

Looking at his disappearing back, she quickly chased after him.

Su Chen, realising that the girl was walking behind him, did not care much.

Even that righteous Lou Rouer had seen Zhu Qing, so what's wrong with Mei Qing?

Moreover, he wanted to further attack her feelings and this was a perfect chance.

At the door where Zhu Qing was imprisoned, only Catlynn was sleeping on a side as Ashlynn, tired of arranging things for Lu Lann and her family yesterday, needed a proper bed-rest, and was sleeping merrily in her maid's room, Su Chen didn't bother to wake her up and directly pushed the door open. 

It was 6.25 am, when most people should be still in their dreamland, Zhu Qing's eyes were devoid of any sleep. 

Since the last time she talked to her dad, her head was messed up.

She knew Su Chen was trying to make her desperate so she could obediently beg him for an antidote but only a few hours were left. By afternoon, the remaining members of her family won't be able to suppress the poison and will eventually die. But Su Chen never showed up!

There was a scary thought in her mind that Su Chen won't come or Had he forgotten about her?

She could only bite her lips and wait patiently the entire night, at last, the door was finally opened.

Seeing the man who had imprisoned and tortured her, she wanted to throw curses but aware of her current situation, she held back.

"Zhu Qing, not bad!"

"The last time I came here, you shouted and swore so many bad words. Now seeing your head-down meekly, it's so pleasing to eyes."

-Su Chen came next to her, who was lying on the ground.

Mei Qing who followed along was shocked, of course, she had heard of the name Zhu Qing, the future Patriarch of the great Zhu Family. As the one who knows about current affairs the most, how can she miss it? What surprised her more was that the Zhu Family rarely communicated with other people, so why was she here?

What was even more shocking was Zhu Qing's miserable condition, the bruise and burn marks on her body, the shackles on her wrist that were tied to the wall and not to forget the strong unpleasant smell of urinating and defecating from the moment she entered the room. Just thinking about what sort of treatment she had undergone, made her have goosebumps.

But after this frightening feeling, an inexplicably sweet emotion took over her heart. 

Seeing the man she harboured feelings for acting so tough even if the opponent was such a delicate beauty, she felt more admirable of him. She firmly believed that there must be a strong reason for his actions.

As the most arrogant heroine, she wants the one who conquers her to have a ruthless and domineering side. 

She too had wronged him but Su Chen only just let her family and business group suffer, he did not directly touch her or anyone close to her. If he wanted, she could also suffer the same fate as Zhu Qing but she didn't.

 With his power and connections taking revenge on her was child's play but in the end, he still let them go when they came to plead. It means he must care for her. Just this thought was enough to brighten up her spirits.

Su Chen was also well aware that Mei Qing's thinking-process will be affected, and that's why he allowed her to follow behind him in the first place.

Show her how strong you can be and what could have happened to her. Seeing Zhu Qing's plight, he was sure Mei Qing would be left in awe~

From the corner of his hidden eyes, he checked her information again and was taken aback by the new notification.

[Mei Qing, first heroine, favorability- 75; can't increase further unless she herself takes initiative.]

'Oh, but with how things are going.. it won't take long for her to throw herself in my arms', unfazed by the sudden prompt, he shifted his eyes to Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing looked up and saw his eyes which were as deep as the abyss. 

"Su Chen, I admit….I was wrong."

"Oh, how were you wrong?"

"I…..It was foolish of me to think I can plot against you."

"Please, I beg you, give me the antidote and spare my family."

Looking at his nonchalant expression, Zhu Qing panicked,

"I, I can do anything you want!"

-Her voice was incoherent, her hands were shaking as she seemed to have used up all her strength uttering those words.

There was a victor's smile on Su Chen's face.

Finally, the proud Martial-Art-Heroine girl was giving in…
