Wu Jinyanâs heart felt like a withered spring, but with Su Haoâs arrival, a warm current surged within her.
She couldnât help but bury her head in his embrace and cry.
Wu Ruofei was furious when she saw this scene. She used her hands and feet to try and separate them. âWu Jinyan, you b*tch! Who do you think you are to be with Brother Hao? Youâre not worthy! Let go of my Brother Hao!â
âBrother Hao, sheâs just a b*tch! How could you be attracted to her?â Wu Ruofei yelled like a mad woman. Su Hao turned to her and glared, sternly rebuking, âShut up! You have no right to insult Yanâer! She is a hundred times more noble than you!â
Wu Ruofei had liked Su Hao for a long time, and even catching a glimpse of him would make her ecstatic for half a day. But now he rejected her and said that she was not as noble as Wu Jinyan, causing her to burst into tears. âSob, sob! Brother Hao, how could you say that about me? Wu Jinyan is just a b*tch, whatâs so good about her? Wiry do you like her and not me?â
âRuofei, General Su is a young hero, full of youthful vigor. Itâs possible for him to be temporarily captivated by a seductive woman. After all, as a legitimate daughter of the Ministerâs Estate like you, you would never strip off your clothes in public,â Madam Wu consoled Wu Ruofei, a hint of derision in the corner of her mouth.
Su Haoâs arrival did not restore Wu Jinyanâs reputation. It only made people think that Wu Jinyan, a wretch, could seduce even a renowned young general like Su Hao.
A wretch would always be a wretch.
Su Hao clenched his fists. âYanâer wanted everyone to see how cruel you and your daughter are! The wounds on her body are all thanks to you. If it werenât for you, Yanâer wouldnât have been tormented like this! And yet, you dare to come here and make things difficult for her!â
âGeneral Su, donât be so angry. Youâre young and promising, but youâve been bewitched. There will come a day when you wake up and realize that lowly women will always be lowly. Only women like our Ruofei are worthy of becoming your wife,â Madam Wu provocatively smiled.
The sharpness in her eyes was like a knife hovering over Wu Jinyanâs heart.
This was said to make her understand that no matter how she struggled, she couldnât escape her lowly status.
Su Hao and she were worlds apart!
Wu Jinyan felt empty inside, and her head became dizzy, almost on the verge of fainting.
âYouâre wrong! In this lifetime, I, Su Hao, will marry Yanâer, and Yanâer alone! What does it matter if sheâs the daughter of a minister? In my eyes, you canât even compare to a single strand of Yanâerâs hair!â Su Hao held Wu Jinyan tightly, his heart aching.
He didnât dare exert any force on her frail body, as if she would crumble in his arms if he did.
âGeneral Su, you keep calling her Yanâer as if sheâs been seducing you for quite some time. However, wretches will always remain improper. For the sake of the Marquisâs Manor and the old generalâs face, itâs better for General Su to sever ties with this wretch sooner rather than later.â Madam Wuâs eyes were filled with contempt.
Since she couldnât take Wu Jinyan away today, she might as well completely ruin her, so that she would have no face to continue living in this world.
âWait a moment, Madam Wu. Are you suggesting that the person who seduced my brother is a wretch?â Su Yingxueâs lips curled into a smile.
Madam Wu immediately grew wary. âWhat do you mean, Miss Su?â
Su Yingxue pointed at Wu Ruofei and loudly addressed the crowd, âDid everyone hear just now how Sister Jinyan referred to my brother? And how did this esteemed legitimate daughter, born to the Ministerâs wife, address my brother?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
