People would usually sympathize with the weak. So, when they saw the innocent-looking Yan Tingting being victimized, the crowd instantly forgot that her mother was once the mistress, and instead, they began to point fingers at Yan Susu for being too overbearing.
Disgusted beyond words, Yan Susu just wanted to walk away from it all with her head held high. At that moment, she was once again grabbed by someone.
Ling Xiusi stared at her, his face ashen and eyes raging. “What did you do last night?”
On the previous night, Mrs. Li had hurried over and caught Mr. Li and a woman in the act. All of them had left the scene shortly after.
But Yan Susu had not reappeared until now, wearing a man’s clothes. So, what had she been up to?
Did Ling Xiusi stand guard here the entire night? Worried that she might make a break for it? What did he have to worry about? He had already spiked her drink!
If he had indeed been on guard duty the entre night, why did he not show up when Yan Tingting was giving her grief? Why did he only turn up now, when Yan Tingting appeared to have been ‘victimized’?
Could it be that, in Ling Xiusi’s eyes, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would have more value and deserve more dignity than her?
In that instant, Yan Susu felt dejected and vengeful, desperately wanting nothing more than to get back at him.
So, she curled her lips in a nonchalant smile and said, “Love.”
“What did you say?”
“I said, last night, I was with a man!” Yan Susu spoke slowly, enunciating each word deliberately, suppressing the ache in her heart. Staring intently at Ling Xiusi, she noticed the savage rage spreading across his face and felt a sudden exhilaration.
Yan Tingting immediately let out a shriek of shock, “Sis, you just told me for a fact that you weren’t sexually…”
Yan Susu glared at her and ordered, “You keep your mouth shut!”
Having indulged in such an immoral act and still behaving so arrogantly– the onlookers began to berate Yan Susu, saying that she was shameless.
As for Ling Xiusi, his visage darkened with rage as he slapped her across the face. “You’re shameless!”
The impact of the slap caused Yan Susu’s face to snap to the side, the imprint of his fingers forming on her cheek. She just laughed even more merrily.
“That’s right. I am shameless. I had the most wonderful time last night. That man was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you. He wanted me, and I was happy to succumb without wanting anything in return.”
“Yan Susu, how could you be so cheap!?” Going crazy, Ling Xiusi stared at the woman in front of him. He had never before seen her in this unfamiliar state.
“Yes, I am shameless. I am cheap, but I have never debased anyone or caused anyone to demean themselves. What about you? Ling Xiusi, my beloved fiancé, in the past six years, what have you done to me?
“You brought multiple women back to my rented apartment. On countless occasions, you looked on with indifference as I was groped by other men. You used me time and time again, stabbing me right in the heart. It’s because of you that I have become the person I am today. It is your incessant torture that’s driven me out of my mind!”
“You were the one who offered me as a gift to another man. You were the one who spiked my drink. And now, you turn around and ask why I spent the night with another man? Ling Xiusi, don’t you think that you are a bit of a joke?”
“That is the price you have to pay for betraying me, for playing me like an idiot!” Ling Xiusi snapped loudly, no longer caring about his public image.
He hated Yan Susu to the core, and he longed to tear her apart at the limbs, to skin her alive.
However, he did not want to let this woman die so easily. He wanted to torture her, to cause her irreparable harm and make her life such a living hell that she would not want to be reincarnated as a human being in her next life!
“Price? For a mistake that I have cannot remember whatsoever, I have paid the price with six years of my youth. You have been torturing me for six years. In the past six years, how many business deals have I helped you close? How much money have I made for you?
“For you, I have become shameless, buried my dignity, and lost myself; I gave up everything. But what about you? You trample on me continuously, beat me, and keep pushing me to the brink of death!
“Ling Xiusi, from the moment you offered me to another man, I lost the last shred of love I’d been hanging onto for you. I am utterly disappointed in you, and I surrender. I want to leave you. I don’t ever want to see you again because you disgust me!”
Her love had been spent, and so had her guilt. She no longer harbored any hope that Ling Xiusi would suddenly realize how wrong he had been or that they could go back to what they had been before.
