Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Mutually Slaughtering (Part 9)
Zhuang Haoran seemed to frown with concern, not expecting she intended to stand there and watch him leave. So, as if he had no choice, he turned and walked toward his car.
When he opened the driver’s seat door, bent down to climb in, sat in the driver’s seat, pulled on the seatbelt, he could see from the rearview mirror that she was standing there waiting for him to leave.
As if she was very afraid he wouldn’t go home.
Zhuang Haoran was almost speechless, wondering since when she started worrying about his grandmother?
Worrying about his grandmother?
Zhuang Haoran suddenly contemplated this thought, and then he quickly pulled down the gear shift, stepped on the gas, and headed towards Duke Philips’s castle.
The stars were dazzling, and the night was like water.
The sheer white curtains, dancing lightly with the night breeze, fell gently on the person lying in bed by the window.
Footsteps broke the silence of the room as someone opened the door, but the creaking sound did not wake the person in the bed.
The person lying in bed seemed like a sleeping beauty, completely unaware of the passing time, oblivious to all the movements outside, only knowing to sleep.
Unable to move at all.
The person opening the door stood at the entrance and listened to the room’s stillness, a strange smile appearing at the corner of their mouth.
With a blind man’s cane tapping on the wooden floor, they slowly approached the bedside, confirmed it was the bed, found a chair, and sat down. They extended their hand to touch the face of the person lying in bed, firmly feeling it before sighing, "Xiao Yebai, look, to get familiar with your face, I have to feel it for a long time. I touch you like this, and you don’t even know how to wake up?"
The man lying in bed did not move.
Su Yixia smiled eerily again: "You’re so indifferent, as if you wouldn’t move even if the sky was falling. How about I show you something fun?"
As she spoke, she took a photo from her pocket and placed it in front of the sleeping person: "Come on, open your eyes and look. Who is this? Xiao Yebai, you wouldn’t even recognize who this person is, right?"
The sleeping person still did not answer her.
Su Yixia snorted coldly, continued her self-directed monologue: "You keep pretending to be stupid, but the facts are here. Look at her, she’s such a bad woman, right? I’ve always said that her heart is as bad as can be, she’s an outright vixen. As soon as you’re not around, she immediately mingles with other men. Meeting men at hotel entrances. How about that? Xiao Yebai, she’s not as good as me, is she?"
The room remained silent except for the sound of the wind hitting the curtains, as if slapping faces.
Su Yixia’s face turned red with anger, and she suddenly stood up, stretched out her hand, and slapped the sleeping person hard on the face.
After hearing the loud slap, her previously rapid breathing finally calmed slightly. She coldly turned her back to the bed, saying: "Fine, you’ve always treated me as if I’m a toad while you see her as a swan. You believe her more than me, don’t you? I will fulfill you two! Let you and that toad of yours die together, how about that?"
Behind her, the wind battered the window with a loud bang.
Su Yixia turned back but saw nothing. Her eyes could see nothing now. But she knew, hence a strange smile appeared on her face: "What? You expect her to come and save you? After seeing you like this, what would she think? She will abandon you— there’s no woman in the world better to you than I am, and you’ll realize it eventually."
The room echoed only with the sound of whistling wind.
Ou Chunhua, in the hotel, looked at her bank account on her phone, turning it over in disbelief, then called the bank to verify repeatedly, and after confirming it was correct, she nearly collapsed into the chair.
Indeed, the number Su Yixia transferred into her account had nine zeros. This meant the girl really made it big, more successful and richer than Ou Chunhua.
What a strange thing. She couldn’t understand it.
Where did Su Yixia get the money?
Should she use this money, Ou Chunhua thought?
Without overthinking, she would be stupid not to use it. Even if just borrowing it, investing the funds, and only taking the profits, it would be a very considerable sum.
Should she call to ask that damned girl where the money came from?
No, asking would be a waste. Ou Chunhua knew the other party would definitely not say. So, it was just about whether she, Ou Chunhua, would use it or not.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of Gu Nuan for some reason.
If it were Gu Nuan, would she use it?
The answer seemed without a doubt. Gu Nuan would definitely use it because Gu Nuan, as Ou Chunhua finally saw, was even more ruthless than herself.
She must use it, the opportunity cannot be missed.
When the phone beside her rang, she reached out to answer: "I’ve received your money, don’t worry, I’ll make good use of it."
But there was no sound from the other end, just a long beep.
Ou Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and upon checking the caller ID, it wasn’t the number Su Yixia used to call, but her son’s phone—
