Chapter 99
There were so many mysteries about Qin Muchen that it was very difficult for Su Ziyue to figure out the reasons behind them by herself.
Furthermore, he had explicitly told her before that he wouldn’t disclose any of his intentions for the time being.
A grave look flashed across Su Ziyue’s face as these thoughts came to her mind. She turned around, washed her face with some cold water, and touched up her makeup before heading back toward the banquet hall.
However, as soon as she came to a corner, an arm stuck out from the side and dragged her to the stairwell’s emergency access with tremendous strength.
The door was slammed shut with a loud bang, and before Su Ziyue could realize what was going on, she was given a slap in the face. In an instant, she could only feel a burning pain in her face as the loud slap made her ear buzz.
“Su Ziyue, how dare you seduce Zeyang? He is my fiancé! How can you be so shameless?”
As Su Yige’s ferocious voice burst upon her ears, Su Ziyue clapped her hand over her face and thought for a moment with rapt attention before she finally understood what Su Yige was saying.
She had not settled the score with Su Yige over what happened that Friday night, yet the latter had beat her to it and came to look for trouble.
She looked back at Su Yige with a sneer; the latter’s usually tidy makeup was a little messy after she had just given Su Ziyue a hard slap, showing how much force she had exerted when slapping Su Ziyue as well as how much she hated the woman in her heart.
“Are you calling me shameless? Which eye of yours saw me seducing him? My husband is a thousand times better than Gong Zeyang—do I even need to seduce him?” Su Ziyue took a step back and stared at Su Yige icily.
Su Yige had given her plenty of hard times ever since they were little. Even if she deliberately tried to avoid Su Yige, the latter would always find ways to cause trouble for her.
“Zeyang and I were fine when you were still abroad, but he became a different person once you came back. It’s all your fault! If only you had stayed abroad! Why did you come back?”
The door to the emergency access was shut, and few people came here if any. Therefore, Su Yige seemed to put her scruples aside. She yelled at Su Ziyue without even bothering to maintain her usual facade as a well-bred lady.
Su Ziyue’s gaze grew darker as the half of her face that Su Yige had just slapped swelled with numbing pain. She reached out and tried to press it, but she could feel nothing at all; her face had already gone numb with pain.
Narrowing her pretty eyes, she curled her lips into a smirk and stared at Su Yige while the latter still puffing and panting. Then, she raised her hand and slapped Su Yige back.
She showed no restraint in that slap of hers as well. “Who do you think you are to slap me as you please?” She reached out and gripped Su Yige’s chin, saying, “Do you really think that you’re a big deal because you’re the eldest daughter of the Su Family?”
She used to think of the Su Family members positively and gave in to them as much as possible because of her foolishness. However, these people always took a mile when given an inch.
They chased her away from the country and forced her to marry Mu Ninghui. As a result, she was dragged through the mud and hadn’t been able to see her Dad even once for 13 years.
“Su Ziyue, what do you want to do?” Su Yige was frightened by the bitter hatred that welled up in Su Ziyue’s eyes.
Having been spoiled by her family ever since she was little, she was too accustomed to treating Su Ziyue as inferior.
Su Ziyue used to be a weakling; she had never fought back against Su Yige prior to going abroad. That was why Su Yige managed to devise a perfect plan to frame Su Ziyue for having an abortion, causing Su Youcheng to chase her out of the country.
She thought that Su Ziyue would’ve gone rogue and be left to die by herself, but never did she expect the latter to return unscathed. Not only did she get her shares back and marry an extremely handsome man with neither wealth nor influence after she came back, but she had also managed to hook up with LK Group’s Chairman, making Grandpa see her in a new light.
Even Gong Zeyang treated Su Ziyue just as nicely as before, whereas all the things she had done
before did not seem to affect Su Ziyue in the slightest bit. On the contrary, Su Ziyue lived a better life because of it.
Su Yige couldn’t reconcile herself to such an outcome.
Su Ziyue’s hand that was gripping Su Yige’s chin moved an inch down to squeeze the latter’s neck, pinning her against the wall with great strength.
“What are you scared of? Are you scared that I’ll kill you along with myself?” Su Ziyue smirked mockingly. “Do you think you are worthy of that?”
Su Yige probably got into a muddle over her anger at Gong Zeyang’s attitude toward me a while ago, Su Ziyue thought to herself. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stopped me halfway and dragged me into a quiet place to slap me. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Su Yige was really no match for Su Ziyue when it came to one-on-one fights; after all, the latter couldn’t have survived safely until now without having learned some self-defensive skills.
The incident last Friday where Su Yige had injected her with drugs fueled her inner hatred for the former to a boiling point.
Su Yige hated her, but she hated Su Yige as well.
“Su Ziyue, y-you’d better let go of me…” Su Yige struggled to raise her head while trying to reach for her cell phone.
Su Yige’s gaze turned frosty as she had noticed what Su Yige was doing long ago. She snatched Su Yige’s cell phone away with her other hand and said, “What are you afraid of? Do you know why I came to the banquet today? That’s because I know that you would attend the banquet as well. Presumably, you’d know what I experienced last Friday better than anyone else…”
She showed a look of satisfaction upon seeing that Su Yige’s pupils gradually contracted with a look of fear on her face. “I have gotten the stuff ready, and the dose I prepared is sufficient to make you an addict; nobody knows you’re here anyway.”
As she finished her sentence, her face cracked into a sly smile.
“How dare you!” Su Yige’s eyes nearly popped out of her head as she began struggling with all her might.
“Since you dared to inject me with drugs, why wouldn’t I dare to do this to you?” Pleasure flickered in Su Ziyue’s eyes as she continued, “You should get a taste of being dragged through the mud too.”
That was who exactly Su Yige was. No one else besides her could do anything she wanted; whatever she did was right, and whatever anyone else did was wrong—no matter when and why she did it.
“Su Ziyue, if you dare to inject me with that stuff, I won’t let you off even if I die!”
“In that case, have you ever stopped to think that my feelings are mutual toward you when you had me injected with drugs back then? I won’t let you off the hook even if I die either!” Su Ziyue ignored Su Yige’s struggle as she squeezed the latter’s neck even harder.
Su Yige gripped Su Ziyue’s wrists tightly with both hands as the panic in her eyes was overtaken by
bitter hatred. “You deserved that! You should have died long ago, for you always stand in my way…”
Suddenly, the door to the emergency access was pushed open; a slender figure walked in, startling both Su Ziyue and Su Yige. “Are you admitting that you had someone inject Su Yige with drugs last Friday night, Miss Su Yige?”
Su Ziyue turned to look at the figure and was surprised to see that it was Qin Muchen. She relaxed her hold on Su Yige a little and asked, “Why are you here?”
Qin Muchen did not answer; his gaze immediately darkened when he looked at her face.
Su Ziyue knew what he was looking at, so she touched her face and said, “I’m fine. Get out and guard the door first. This matter is between her and me.”
A look of ridicule flashed across Su Yige’s eyes when she saw how Qin Muchen looked at Su Ziyue in a concerned manner. “Do you know who your wife has hooked up with? Mr. Qin, you’re truly the most generous man I have ever seen. I didn’t expect you to be able to pretend as if nothing had happened despite being made a cuckold.”
