Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 830: Chapter 824 Qing Teng_1

“You should leave. Let that person go as well. I am fine,” Qing Teng said after hearing An Xiaofeng’s words.

“Vice gang leader,” An Xiaofeng was somewhat anxious upon hearing this. If the vice gang leader couldn’t recover, then what would happen to the gang’s affairs? The gang leader and the commander were not there, chaos would break out in the gang again, just like when the traitor emerged. Wasn’t that the reason?

“Don’t worry, I am truly fine. I won’t let such a thing happen for a second time. I will explain it clearly to the boss. As for the person you brought back, let him leave,” Qing Teng firmly suppressed her impulse to go out to see An Xiaofeng, lowering her voice as she spoke.

The man outside didn’t know she had feelings for him. If she were to do something else, he might look down on her.

Qing Teng didn’t want An Xiaofeng to stay in front of her door any longer. All she wanted now was for him to leave quickly. She was on the verge of breaking down; the pain was unbearable.

“Vice gang leader,” An Xiaofeng was at a loss as to how to persuade her to let Qin Xue examine her.

...
“Leave,” an austere voice sounded from inside the room.

Hearing this, An Xiaofeng was even less willing to move his feet. He could clearly hear the pain in her voice, but the vice gang leader insisted otherwise. Whether he left or stayed, it seemed wrong. He could only stand still, remaining silent while not leaving.

“An Xiaofeng, I beg you, can you leave?” Qing Teng leaned against the door, her hand on the doorknob. She wished she could just open the door and step outside. Just looking at him would alleviate her pain, but he didn’t love her. He loved the boss. Qing Teng had been jealous of this, but her life and everything she had were given by the boss. The man outside loved the boss, which had nothing to do with the boss; the boss didn’t even know that this man named An Xiaofeng was in love with her.

And yet Qing Teng knew. Otherwise, why would the poison take effect on her? She resented the person who had poisoned her. Why was it that what she couldn’t have, neither could she?

While it sounded nice to say that she wanted to find a man who loved her, wouldn’t being with a man she didn’t love be torturous as well? In truth, she was selfish, wanting to make the man who betrayed her suffer. She wanted him to know that everyone who wronged her would pay the price, including his daughter.

Though Qing Teng knew how to remove the poison, An Xiaofeng didn’t love her. So how could she bear to poison him? She didn’t want to live in a fantasy like her mother; she didn’t want that life. Better she bear the burden alone, without implicating anyone else.

“But you…” An Xiaofeng said, worried.

“As long as you leave, that’s enough. Don’t come looking for me in the future and don’t appear in front of me. An Xiaofeng, I received a message from Feng. They are short-handed right now. You should go and connect with them. I’ll have someone else deal with the matter of the traitor,” Qing Teng could only arrange things in this way for now.

If not, the only outcomes would be her death from the agonizing pain or her planting the poison in An Xiaofeng. If he didn’t love her, he may not survive either. It was better if she died than to harm the person she loved. Perhaps her mother never considered this. Even if it meant her death, she would never harm the person she loved. This was the biggest difference between Qing Teng and her mother.

“Okay, I’ll leave. But could you not transfer me away? If you don’t want to see me, I’ll just have someone else relay messages. As for the matters of the gang, I can’t put them aside. We’ve come here to deal with the traitor. We also have to quickly return to handle the other issues at headquarters. If the vice gang leader won’t let me stay, she won’t be able to handle all that on her own. How could I leave in peace?” An Xiaofeng was concerned.
