Chapter 281: Who Are You, Really?

Just as Yu Shū was about to throw a tantrum, Long Heng reached out and hauled the former out. Luo Yunzheng followed them out, his face looking thoughtful. All things considered, Su Yun had been a one of a kind opponent, so Long Heng granted her death wish. However, for Bai Xiangxiu’s safety, he remained just outside.

But before the door shut, Bai Xiangxiu could be heard saying, “Dump some water on her and wake her. There’s no need to waste time.”

“Oh…. oh.” After the men left, Bai Xiangxiu sat to the side to take some time to reflect. Dealing with Su Yun recently had put her in mind of the female lead. Suddenly, she realized she’d made quite the wise decision to remain low key in this world. Although she may not have experienced significant ups and downs, at least her life was relatively stable. Well alright, she was technically a widow right now, so life wasn’t entirely stable.

Su Yun woke up just as she was reminiscing. She moaned painfully at first, but gradually regained consciousness. She appeared a bit lost when she opened her eyes, but once she noticed Bai Xiangxiu, it was as if she had regained all her energy. “Who are you really? Why was everything going so smoothly before I met you, but began to fall apart after I encountered you?”

“Su Yun, I’m not the reason why you lost. You lost because human lives mean nothing to you.”

“Ha! Why can others be like this and I can’t?”

“That happens in novels and TV dramas. It doesn’t work like that in reality.”

“So, you are a transmigrator! I was right! How could you treat someone from your hometown so cruelly?!”

“Su Yun, you’re certainly one to speak. So what if you knew I was from your hometown? Based on your personality, would you have been lenient towards me? I have no doubt that you would’ve constantly tested ways to eliminate me. For instance, back in Tranquil City, those diversionary tactics was clearly meant to assess me. You sent an assassin targeting me.”

“So what? You were helping my enemy.”

“But from my perspective, they are also my enemies.”

“But afterwards, you still moved against me despite the fact that we were from the same world.”

“Have you seen how anxious the doctors’ family members were when they were frantically trying to locate their loved ones? Are you aware of how tragic the lives of the wives and sons are now without their husbands and fathers? Are you aware that one of the wives bled to death during childbirth after hearing the news? You never heard a word. Why? Because you only have eyes for yourself. You only care about your power and status. In order to attain what you want, you treat humans like ants. For despicable people like you, this outcome is already quite good.”

“Shut up! What about you!? It’s fine for you to seduce men and get them to kill for you? You’re like a little white lotus hiding behind others while you enjoy yourself. What’s the difference between you and me?”

“I don’t allow my man to kill innocent people. I don’t make him do things for my own selfish reasons. That’s the difference.”

“Humans are selfish. Aren’t you selfish?”

“I am selfish. I can freely admit that. I would be more than willing to hurt others in order to protect my family. But I would never kill so many people because of a face. Of course, I don’t expect you to understand. After all, you have always been a spoiled rich young lady without the slightest ounce of respect for others.”

“…You knew me from before, don’t you?” Su Yun seemed to have realized why she had lost. So this person knew me from before?! Who is she? Is it my scheming younger cousin? Or my love rival? Or perhaps, a random jealous slut?
