Chapter 484 I’ve Been Married Before
Su Yan looked just as she always had, as if nothing could ever faze her.
She examined Mu Yiliang’s expression, nodding in satisfaction: "Seems like you’re really fine, then I’m relieved."
Mu Yiliang felt a bit helpless: "Since you don’t want me hurt, why did you plot against me?"
Su Yan’s eyes glinted as she glanced at Yan Sijue: "How about you let your man leave, then we can chat slowly?"
Yan Sijue gave her a cold look: "Impossible."
Su Yan had no choice but to give up. She casually pulled a chair and sat down, crossing her legs: "Let’s put it this way, although I really like you, being the selfish person that I am, I obviously value my own life more. Nie Qing is a thorn in my side, so I wish to eliminate him. If he targets you, your man certainly won’t let him go, right?"
Mu Yiliang looked at her: "You knew full well Si Jue doesn’t plan to spare the Puritan. So you plotted against me, not to make Si Jue intervene, but to make me take action. You know I have the opportunity."
Mu Yiliang’s tone was somewhat meaningful.
Back then, when Su Yan told her about Nie Qing’s human specimen creation, she paid attention and deliberately looked into related information.
That’s how she knew Nie Qing would use arsenic.
Su Yan lazily smiled: "Little Yiliang, you’re really smart. That’s right, I not only wish for him to die but also wish for him to die by your hand."
Mu Yiliang remained expressionless: "If I were truly smart, I wouldn’t have fallen into your trap!"
Yan Sijue stood beside her, not speaking, but instinctively furrowing his brows.
"I know Nie Qing wouldn’t bear to harm you, but accidents happen." Su Yan smiled, "And that young man of mine is also an unstable factor. I told him that you’re very valuable when I gave him the message, telling him not to harm you. I wonder if it worked."
Apparently not. It seemed that young man’s feelings towards Nie Qing were also complex, perhaps he’d rather let her be buried with Nie Qing. Fortunately, she escaped quickly.
"He’s busy seizing power and riches, hasn’t paid attention to me." With Yan Sijue present, Mu Yiliang didn’t say more, "He’s your son, aren’t you afraid he’ll fail?"
"That lad has been with Nie Qing since childhood, he’s completely ruined, even if alive, he’s bound to be a disaster." Su Yan’s smile had a hint of sarcasm, "Though I haven’t interacted with him much, I’ve long since seen through his nature, I know he has no morals, no conscience, even more sinister and terrifying than Nie Qing. I never thought Nie Qing would trust him and meet his end by his hand."
Mu Yiliang wanted to say that if Nie Qing hadn’t consumed her poison, he might not have confidently drunk the water Nie Chu brought.
But that brief lapse was lethal enough.
"Aren’t you going to tell him the truth?"
Su Yan shook her head with a smile: "I’ve long since stopped considering him my son. That lad inherited his father’s genes, cold-hearted, indifferent, whether he lives or dies, has nothing to do with me."
Mu Yiliang felt a stir in her heart: "Who is his biological father?"
Su Yan fell silent for a moment before speaking: "Little Yiliang, did you know I had once been married?"
Mu Yiliang shook her head, stunned.
"That’s right, I was married, and to a prestigious family." She smiled, "But when I was six months pregnant, Nie Qing took a fancy to my eyes, so my husband’s family delivered me to Nie Qing... If I weren’t clever, probably only my pair of eyes would’ve been kept by Nie Qing, the rest reduced to dust."
