Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 135: Chapter 132 She is Sick

Su Qingqing had come just to watch the excitement, and she had never imagined that her curse would actually come true—Zhou Zhen’s rough jade had incredibly been sliced open to reveal an entire piece of black ringworm.

Seeing Zhou Zhen suffer a blow, Su Qingqing didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy; on the contrary, she felt as if a great vengeance had been avenged, and she was thoroughly elated.

However, she never expected Ye Zixin to drag her into the matter, which immediately soured Su Qingqing’s mood.

“Damn! Is this woman too shameless or what? What does Zhou Zhen’s fate have to do with me?”

Su Qingqing coldly glared at Ye Zixin and, without turning her head, prepared to leave.

Ye Zixin, wanting to divert the blame from Zhou Zhen, wouldn’t just let Su Qingqing walk away; she feigned grievance and choked up,

...

“Qingqing, how have you become like this, you weren’t like this before! No matter what, A Zhen is still your fiancé, you two had an engagement, and now that A Zhen has ended up like this, half of the reason is because of you. How can you be so heartless, to just leave without saying a word?”

Ye Zixin’s eyes were dewy with tears, and her gaze towards Su Qingqing was full of accusation, as if Su Qingqing had committed some unforgivable sin.

Feeling a shiver down her spine from that look, Su Qingqing turned to Huo Sining and the others, and asked with a smile, “Did I just hear incorrectly, or did this woman say that Zhou Zhen ended up like this because of me?”

“She is sick!” Bai Yishan, unaware of who Ye Zixin was, but having quickly grasped the fundamental issue from her absurd reasoning just then, said.

In Huaxia, there’s never a lack of onlookers eager for drama, and upon hearing Ye Zixin’s words, several pedestrians immediately stopped in their tracks.

Those people thought Su Qingqing was Zhou Zhen’s fiancée, seeing the fiancé had gone bust in gambling on stones, yet the fiancée turned to leave without even a word of comfort; they thought her too opportunistic and inconsiderate.

The onlookers, having formed their own narrative, began looking at Su Qingqing with eyes full of reproach.

Su Qingqing’s expression darkened as she looked at Ye Zixin and sneered, “You said it yourself, we ‘had’ an engagement. Didn’t you cause the annulment of my marriage with Zhou Zhen? So why is the blame falling on me now? As for sympathy, I am always compassionate and kind to good people. But to those who are unkind to me, if I were still sympathetic, wouldn’t that make me the cheap one?”

Her words instantly turned the situation around, enlightening everyone. It turned out to be yet another melodramatic story of a mistress usurping the rightful place and then slandering the wife; the crowd’s gaze towards Ye Zixin became peculiar.

“Ye Zixin, I don’t want to meddle in your and Zhou Zhen’s affairs anymore. The truth is clear to both of us. I haven’t taken action against you because you are not worth it. Since you are so fond of Zhou Zhen the scumbag, what do I care if I let him be with you? But don’t keep testing my patience. I, Su Qingqing, am not someone to be trifled with. Make one wrong move, and I might just do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life, and then you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Su Qingqing was not one to be bullied; how could she possibly not fight back when others were bullying her to her door!

Ye Zixin was well aware of the Su Family’s capabilities; they had even made the Zhou Family suffer terribly, so crushing her was no different than crushing an ant.

At that thought, she turned pale with fear and waved her hands hastily to explain:

“No, no, I’m not blaming you, I just hope that you can help A Zhen out of consideration for our past friendship. This morning, he gave you that piece of rough jadeite worth 300,000 because he was afraid of being scolded by his family, which is why he came here to buy this semi-gamble stone. Who knew it would be a complete loss. A Zhen has it tough, so Qingqing, why don’t you just give the stone back to A Zhen?”

Su Qingqing was so incensed by Ye Zixin’s shameless words that she laughed. She couldn’t believe Ye Zixin’s ability to distort the truth was so strong that she had refreshed her worldview once again.

“Ye Zixin, you’re an adult, don’t you find yourself ridiculous at all? What do you mean he gave me that 300,000 piece of rough jadeite? He wanted to set a trap for me but ended up hurting himself. Do you think I would return something I won in a bet? Besides, how he bets on stones is his own business, I certainly didn’t force him to buy. That load of crap won’t stick to me!”

Zhou Zhen, who had been sitting silently on the ground, clenched his fists tightly after hearing Su Qingqing’s unsympathetic words and looked up at her with eyes full of resentment.

It wasn’t that Ye Zixin had twisted values, but even Zhou Zhen himself thought this way. He felt that if it weren’t for the Su Family’s bullying, he would not have come to Pingzhou to bet on stones and would not have impulsively agreed to bet with Su Qingqing just to vent his anger. If he hadn’t lost that 300,000 piece of stone, he’d be making a profit by now, and wouldn’t have foolishly bought that 800,000 piece of worthless black mossy rough stone.

All these ‘ifs’ summed up meant that his utter defeat was entirely caused by Su Qingqing!

Caught by Zhou Zhen’s glare, Su Qingqing was startled and then disdainfully said, “Zhou Zhen, I really didn’t expect you to be so useless. Didn’t you think you were good at stone betting? You even boasted that women don’t understand the trade. It seems you understand it very well. How come you cut to a loss so spectacularly?”

Her words completely enraged Zhou Zhen, who abruptly stood up and glowered at Su Qingqing, “Say that again?!”

Su Qingqing’s eyebrows shot up as she coldly regarded Zhou Zhen, “What if I say it again, are you going to hit me? That’d be great, I haven’t had anyone to practice with recently, and my hands are really itching!”

Ye Zixin’s body shook, suddenly remembering that Su Qingqing, though appearing weak and foolish, was actually a green belt in Taekwondo, not an easy match for an ordinary man.

At this thought, Ye Zixin became anxious and quickly reached out to hold Zhou Zhen back, then turned to Su Qingqing with a face full of pleading: “Qingqing, A Zhen is already very heartbroken, please don’t provoke him anymore, can’t you help him out for the sake of our many years of friendship?”

Su Qingqing scoffed, looking at Ye Zixin and retorted, “Help him, how? Don’t even think about swapping that rough stone back!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zixin’s face stiffened, and her gaze involuntarily fell upon the ruined waste stone.

Su Qingqing immediately understood Ye Zixin’s intention, her eyebrows raised and she said with a laugh tinged with anger, “Are you suggesting I should buy this worthless stone from him?!”

“Can’t you help out just this once for the sake of our sisterhood over so many years? Are you really that heartless?” Ye Zixin’s lips quivered as her face flushed with sorrow, and her bright eyes seemed to mist over with tears.

“Ye Zixin, has your head been trapped in a door?” Su Qingqing looked utterly astounded, unable to comprehend Ye Zixin’s logic, especially with the woman’s face looking tearfully aggrieved, as if not buying would make her a villain.
