After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and Zhou An awkwardly touched his nose.

"Didn't I say that I asked you out because I sincerely wanted to apologize to you? I hope you can see my sincerity."

"Didn't see it."

"..."

Zhou An paused for a moment, then continued, "I've made quite a few mistakes lately, and I'm deeply sorry. Although you ultimately chose Shen Ceyan over me, which I don't understand, I won't be angry with you."

Ji Nianci was almost laughing in anger at him. How could this person be so shameless as to say such a thing?

"If I don't choose my husband, am I supposed to choose a good-for-nothing like you? Don't you understand? Zhou An, you keep redefining my understanding."

Zhou An's hands, hanging at his sides, clenched unconsciously. He was already somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Someone like Shen Ceyan, apart from having a better family background than me, in what way can he compare to me?"

"How dare you say he's better than you in any way?" Ji Nianci wanted to make him take a piss and look in the mirror. "Shen Ceyan is taller and more handsome than you, with impeccable manners, a successful career, and impeccable character. He loves me, respects me, cherishes me, and always fulfills my requests. In what way is he inferior to you, who only says you love me but never actually does anything?"

"You're only after his money, aren't you? Don't think I don't know!"

Zhou An practically roared these words in anger.

Ji Nianci looked at him and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Zhou An's reaction was exactly as she had expected.

She continued, "Do you know why I look down on you? It's because you're narrow-minded; all you can see and think about is this. Let me tell you, wealth is just his least remarkable quality. Even if he had no money, I would still love him. And with his intelligence and ability, even if he came from a poor background, he could still achieve success on his own. We could still live a happy life. But you're like a rat in the gutter; what can you do besides freeloading? The money I spent on you before is just like feeding the dogs."

"Oh, right." Ji Nianci seemed to suddenly remember something, a sarcastic smile appearing on her lips. "You haven't bothered me lately, have you hooked up with a new rich woman? How's it going to be a gigolo?"

"you!"

As Zhou An listened to her speak, his face gradually flushed red, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he burst forth with intense hatred.

That bitch, how dare she humiliate him like that.

Suddenly, a crazy idea flashed through his mind.

Wouldn't it be better to just stab her to death right here?

Thinking of this, he reached into his pocket.

Seeing the madness and recklessness flash in his eyes, Ji Nianci felt a sudden tremor in her heart and immediately knew what he was planning to do.

As Zhou An pulled out the dagger that gleamed with a cold, silvery light, she swiftly pulled a bottle of liquid from her bag and sprayed it into his eyes.

This bottle contains a special chili water recipe made in memory of Ci. She added all the spices in her house that had the character "chili" in them, making it very generous with the ingredients.

"Ah! My eyes!" Zhou An was so stinged by the pepper spray that it had been sprayed into his eyes that he couldn't open them. He hadn't expected Ji Nianci to have such a trick up her sleeve, and he was even more furious. He immediately gripped the knife in his hand, closed his eyes, and stabbed at her haphazardly.

Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce her shoulder, Ji Nianci instinctively raised her hand to block it, but she couldn't dodge in time and was cut, fortunately not very deep.

Although Zhou An couldn't see, he could still feel that he had hurt her.

A more arrogant smile crept across his lips: "Didn't expect that, did you? The reason I invited you out today was to kill you. Did you really think I was putting on some kind of sentimental act? I was going to give you a quick death, but you're too kind. You actually tried to hurt me? You bitch, since that's how it is, don't blame me for being impolite. Just wait for your devoted husband to come and collect your corpse. Oh wait, he probably won't even be able to find the body. Hahaha."

After saying that, he raised the knife again and frantically lunged at Ci.

However, since he was blind, Ji Nianci could still manage. She seized the opportunity, raised her knee, and with all her might, slammed it into his groin.

"Ugh—! You bitch!"

Zhou An clutched his hand in pain and retreated repeatedly.

Ji Nianci had lost count of how many screams Zhou An had let out that day.

However, she didn't have time to think about it. She took a stone out of her bag and slowed down to walk in front of him.

Zhou An was already blind, and with the pain excruciating, he was completely unaware of the danger in front of him.

Ji Nianci raised the hand holding the stone and smashed it on his head.

"Ah—" Zhou An clutched his head and fell to the ground, dark red blood flowing from his hair.

Ji Nianci slowly squatted down, and while he was feeling dizzy, she whispered something in his ear:

Do you really think I'm as stupid as you? Now I'm telling you, your next life is over.

After saying that, Ji Nianci stood up, covered her arm, and left.

She knew perfectly well that her victory over Zhou An this time was solely due to her knowledge of their plan, her prior planning, and the fact that she had brought tools for self-defense. Another crucial factor was that Zhou An underestimated her, which allowed her to narrowly escape. Without any preparation, she would have had no chance of escaping Zhou An's grasp.

Although Zhou An's fighting ability was weak, he was still a normal adult male who did not know any self-defense techniques. Given the absolute disparity in strength between the two of them, she was destined to have no chance of winning.

Furthermore, the evidence has now been collected, proving Zhou An's motive for murder, enough to send him to jail. The rest is up to the police. The most important thing now is to ensure your own safety.

So she knew when to stop and left immediately.

"You bitch, don't even think about running away, you just wait!" Zhou An lay on the ground, unconscious for a while, before finally opening his eyes with difficulty and standing up shakily.

He covered his head with one hand and his groin with the other as he walked towards the car. He knew that if Jinianci escaped like this, his life would be truly over.

At that time, neither the Ji family nor the Shen family will let him go.

But the pain in his eyes, groin, and feet held him back, and the car was parked far away. He limped along, cursing as he went, and walked for a long time without getting there.

Ji Nianci knew, of course, that Zhou An would come after her in his car, so she didn't turn back the way she came, but instead turned into a side road.

By the time Zhou An finally managed to get into the car, she had already pulled far ahead of him.
