When Yan Susu woke up and realized what she had done the night before, she covered her face and laughed bitterly. She no longer had any tears left to cry.
She was now well and truly tainted. Ling Xiusi should be over the moon!
All this had happened because she had over-estimated herself, so she had no right to indulge in self-pity.
Since her clothes were no longer in a wearable state, she looked through the man’s clothes by her side. Biting her lips, she put them on, using the tie as a belt and tying a knot in the shirt. Then, she left the room in a hurry.
Just as she stepped out of the door, she was grabbed by her half-sister, who cried out in surprise and concern, “Sis, what happened to you? Did a man do something to you?”
At her words, everyone within earshot immediately turned to stare at Yan Susu, as though she had done something immoral.
Shrugging off her half-sister’s hand, Yan Susu looked at her coldly and ordered, “Don’t touch me!”
She was utterly sick of that expression of feigned fragility.
She loved Ling Xiusi and needed his help to locate her mother, so she could put up with Ling Xiusi’s torture. But why tolerate Yan Tingting?
Ever since the arrival of Yan Tingting and that hypocrite of a stepmother in her family, she had not had one day of peace or happiness.
Besides, she had always had the feeling that her stepmother was somehow involved in what had happened to her mother. Her mother’s body had never been found, but her stepmother had insisted that her mother was dead. Why was that?
Yan Tingting looked at her, eyes brimming with tears, acting like she had been wronged. “I know that you dislike me, but if you’ve been abused by a man, I will not stand by and let you suffer in vain. Come home with me. Our father will take charge and do something about it!”
Take charge? Yan Susu felt like laughing.
When she’d woken up in the hospital after the traffic accident, the doctor’s announcement that she had ‘just given birth’ had been a death sentence.
Without asking for an explanation, her grandmother had rushed forward and slapped her hard across her face, calling her a shameless hussy. She had then proceeded to kick her out of the Yan family, leaving her penniless with no regard for her weak physical state.
As for that biological father of hers, he seemed to have vanished into thin air. He had not set eyes on her or asked about her in six years. Do something for her? If he knew that she had slept with more than one man, just letting her live would have been a display of love from him!
At that thought, she mustered her spirit and held herself upright. Looking emotionless and cold, she said, “Yan Tingting, shut up! How would you know if I had been abused by a man? Or perhaps it is your greatest wish that I would be abused by a man?
“Your mother seduced my father; she was the mistress who kicked my mother out and wormed her way into my family. She gave me a hard time every day, scheming to get me kicked out of the family as well. Even so, surely you two could not be vicious enough to wish for me to be hurt and insulted by others?”
Her words had diverted the attention of the onlookers, who were now looking with contempt at Yan Tingting.
“That’s really evil. A mistress turned wife, and yet still wishing harm and insult on her sister.”
“Exactly. She appears to be gentle and fragile but is in fact a two-timer!”
…
Her original plan had been to turn Yan Susu into a public spectacle.
However, it had unexpectedly backfired, with the onlookers now pointing fingers at her instead. Yan Tingting’s face grew exceedingly ugly.
Then again, she was an expert at feigning fragility and playing the role of the victim. She quickly wiped her tears and tugged warily at Yan Susu, saying, “Sis, I’m sorry. I was just very worried about you. You were supposed to be closing a business deal with Mr. Li, but you’d been in there all night only to re-appear wearing men’s clothing…”
Eyes half-closed, Yan Susu peered at her and asked, “How did you know that I was closing a business deal with Mr. Li?”
Had Yan Tingting followed her? Or did Ling Xiusi…
“I missed you, but I couldn’t reach you, so I called Xiusi and he told me…”
“Well, thank you very much for your concern. Sorry to disappoint you, but I am fine.” Yan Susu took her stand firmly, knowing that what had happened on the previous night must be kept a secret from the scheming Yan Tingting.
“But Sis, you were in there all night…and now you are wearing a man’s clothes…”
“What’s this? You two have already taken control of the Yan family fortune, and now you want to take over my personal property, too? Is it a crime for me to spend a night at a hotel with the money that I have earned? Is it a crime for me to want the experience of wearing a man’s clothes?”
“No, Sis. That’s not what I meant…”
“Get lost. You make me sick; I don’t ever want to see your face again!” Yan Susu shoved her aside, planning to leave.
“Ah——” Yan Tingting suddenly fell to the floor and, acting even more pitiful, cried, “Sis, that hurts…”
