Chapter 235: Gone Mad, Has She?
“Get your hands off me!”
Liu Yuan shoved Qin Ruoyao away.
To him, she was nothing but a mere trinket he could toss aside whenever he pleased.
A woman or a company? Naturally, he’d pick the company.
Liu Yuan yanked on Qin Ruoyao’s hair, “The role you’ve been eyeing? I won’t give it to you. Moreover, neither I nor my buddies who’ve invested in this drama will allow you anywhere near it!”
After that, Liu Yuan shoved her away once more.
Qin Ruoyao sat on the ground, her face ashen.
After all her efforts and sacrifices, everything was just… gone like that…
Why?
Why was fate so cruel to her, taking everything away and turning her into some loathed sewer rat?
Even her only chance for redemption was being snatched away…
“No, I can’t accept defeat like this.”
Qin Ruoyao forced herself up from the ground.
“I’ll become dazzling again, someone everyone adores.”
“I will.”
Qin Ruoyao returned to the Qin residence in a daze.
Sitting in her rented apartment,
she harbored an intense hatred towards Lin Xuan, Su Hua, and Lin Li.
Lin Xuan and Su Hua returned to the Night Garden.
While Lin Xuan went to shower, Su Hua picked up her phone and commanded, “Tomorrow, after Ah Xuan goes to school, grab Qin Ruoyao.”
The bodyguard froze.
He thought Su Zong had let Qin Ruoyao off the hook.
Didn’t expect she’d be settling old scores now…
Could it be that Su Zong didn’t want Young Master Lin to see how she dealt with Qin Ruoyao, lest he think her methods too brutal?
The bodyguard felt like he had figured it out.
“Yes, my lord,” the bodyguard respectfully responded.
Su Hua put down her phone.
Her beautiful eyes gleamed coldly.
Wanting to make Ah Xuan her lover?
Hmph—
Anyone who covets Ah Xuan doesn’t deserve to live peacefully.
Su Hua set her phone aside. The sound of water gushed from the bathroom. Her gaze flickered with a shadow.
She padded barefoot across the soft sofa and pushed open the bathroom door, stepping inside.
Inside the bathroom,
Lin Xuan was still showering under the rain of water droplets from the showerhead above.
“Hua Bao, you’re awake? Why not rest properly?”
On the way back, she had already fallen asleep, so Lin Xuan placed her on the bed and let her continue sleeping.
Su Hua said nothing, her starry eyes fixed on him.
Step by step, she approached Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan tried to turn off the shower.
But Su Hua suddenly grabbed his hand, letting the water from the shower soak her.
Her white silk dress became wet, translucent, clinging tightly to her body, outlining her graceful curves.
Su Hua tiptoed and whispered into Lin Xuan’s ear like a fragrant breeze, “Ah Xuan, would you help me take a bath?”
Under the shower,
two intertwined silhouettes were faintly visible.
The next day,
Lin Xuan went to Shangqing University.
Su Hua, dressed in a red cheongsam, sat on the living room sofa, reading a business magazine.
Su Hua’s bodyguards also arrived at Qin Ruoyao’s place.
Qin Ruoyao was sitting on the floor, drinking alcohol, with empty bottles scattered everywhere.
The bodyguards broke in after picking the lock.
With blurred vision from drunkenness, Qin Ruoyao frowned at the bodyguards, “What do you want? This is my home! All of you get out!”
“Miss Qin, our master requests your presence at the Night Garden.”
One bodyguard came behind Qin Ruoyao and knocked her unconscious.
When Qin Ruoyao woke up again, she found herself locked in the trunk of a car, her hands bound, and her mouth taped shut.
“Wah wah wah—”
Qin Ruoyao struggled desperately, her eyes filled with fear.
The car drove into the Night Garden.
“Move, follow us!” Qin Ruoyao was dragged into the Night Garden.
They threw her roughly onto the ground.
As soon as Qin Ruoyao looked up, she saw Su Hua sitting on the couch. The woman was dressed in a rose satin cheongsam adorned with gold thread embroidery creating lavish patterns, with the slit revealing smooth, radiant thighs.
The tight-fitting cheongsam accentuated her voluptuous figure.
A red coral hairpin adorned her hair.
Every smile, every movement exuded classical elegance and unique charm.
Qin Ruoyao was stunned.
Su Hua was too dazzling; she felt utterly insignificant in comparison, like dust.
“Qin Ruoyao.” Su Hua stood up from the couch and walked toward Qin Ruoyao step by step.
Qin Ruoyao regained some composure.
Why did Su Hua summon her? Could it be because of yesterday’s incident?
Thinking about it…
“Bang—”
Frightened, Qin Ruoyao’s legs gave way, and she knelt down directly.
“Boss Su, please have mercy on me, I beg you.”
“I’ll never dare again.”
Su Hua’s delicate, pretty fingers lifted Qin Ruoyao’s chin, pinching it until it turned red.
Qin Ruoyao trembled weakly.
“You look so pitiful—it must be this frail appearance that lured Ah Xuan before, right?” Su Hua narrowed her eyes.
Xuan’s previous attitude towards Qin Ruoyao was truly envious.
She’d wanted to do this to Qin Ruoyao long ago.
But since Ah Xuan cared about Qin Ruoyao, she feared irreparably damaging their relationship, so she endured.
Later, when Qin Ruoyao was disgraced by Ah Xuan and even expelled from school, she stopped caring about her.
“I had forgotten about you, but who asked you to reappear and draw my attention again? Last time it was Ah Xuan dealing with you, this time it’s my turn.” Su Hua chuckled lowly.
Her bright laughter seemed demonic to Qin Ruoyao.
Qin Ruoyao became even more terrified, her lips trembling.
“Qin Ruoyao, do you know what my usual method is?” Su Hua smirked.
She paused briefly, “Making life worse than death.”
Su Hua gestured.
Several bodyguards immediately pinned Qin Ruoyao down, rendering her immobile.
Su Hua carved into her skin with the tip of her knife, piercing her flesh.
“Aaaaah—” Qin Ruoyao screamed in pain.
Su Hua expressionlessly carved two characters onto Qin Ruoyao’s face: “Junk,” one on each cheek, blood streaming profusely.
Only then did Su Hua release her.
Qin Ruoyao trembled, wanting to touch her face but dared not.
“My face… My face is ruined!” Qin Ruoyao cried. Her tears fell onto her wounds, making them hurt even more.
Qin Ruoyao shivered in pain all over.
“Qin Ruoyao, messing with other people’s feelings comes with a price, you know that?”
“Look, you’re clearly insane, dreaming of Ah Xuan being your lover.”
Su Hua stood up.
“Clang,” the sound of her knife hitting the ground rang out crisply.
“Since you’re crazy, off to the mental hospital you go for proper treatment, Qin Ruoyao. I’ll send someone to take good care of you.”
