A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 37 - A Slap That Tore Her Hopes Asunder

"Ever since my mother and I moved in and became part of the Su family, you've been shunning us. You've made things difficult for us in everything we did. My mom had asked me to tolerate you. She said that you were only acting like that because you couldn't accept your mother's death. She even told me that things would get better in time."

Su Yuanyuan was crying in torrents. When she spoke, her voice sounded completely miserable. She stood alone before Su Jianan, the shoulders on her lean and tiny frame quivering slightly. From all perspective, Su Yuanyuan looked like some kind of socially vulnerable girl who had been oppressed for years. Nobody would be able to quell the feelings of pity evoked by such a sight.

Su Jianan kept looking at Su Yuanyuan's eyes. "Wonder what mascara she's using," Su Jianan thought. "Didn't get ruined even after all that crying."

"But even after so many years, you're still the same!" Su Yuanyuan kept throwing out accusations while making sure that she looked pitiable. "You haven't changed one bit. Your mother's death had nothing to do with my mom, and yet you took everything out on her. Fine, let's forget about how you're always looking for ways to cause her trouble. I'll let that pass. But do you have to humiliate her like this today? And in such a place too! Sis... no. I won't be calling you that ever again. Su Jianan, you can't take things too far!"

"I told you ages ago that my mother only gave birth to me and my brother. I don't have a younger sister," Su Jianan said, her eyes holding mild ridicule. "You're only starting to get it now?"

Hah. Sister? What sister? When they were all alone, when there was no longer a need for Su Yuanyuan to keep up her facade of innocence, she would always use Su Jianan's full name. The way Su Yuanyuan spoke would always sound like she was the oldest daughter of the Su family instead of Su Jianan.

"You..." Su Yuanyuan's tears flowed with much greater vigor. "You've taken your bullying too far."

Su Jianan smiled. "Jiang Xueli knew d*mn well that Su Hongyuan was a married man, and yet she still chose to be with him. She even gave birth to you. They hid their affair from my mother for over ten years. Then, when my mother's health was at its worst, Jiang Xueli suddenly showed up at our house with you. She told my mother that all these years, Su Hongyuan had another family outside the house. My mother was traumatized and was dead because of it. Su Yuanyuan, are you still going to deny that my mother's death had nothing to do with you people? Let me tell you something. All three of you are murderers. All of you killed my mother."

"No, it's not like that..." Su Yuanyuan sobbed in panic. In her current state, she looked nothing but pitiable. "It's not like that. My mom had nothing to do with it."

An icy smile formed on Su Jianan's lips. "Enough, Su Yuanyuan. You can stop all your acting now."

"Brother-in-law," Su Yuanyuan said, suddenly throwing herself at Lu Boyan. "Do you see now? This is what sis is truly like. She isn't a kind person, she..."

"Miss Su." Lu Boyan cut Su Yuanyuan off coldly. "I know my wife's personality and conduct much better than you do."

"..." Su Yuanyuan was stunned into silence. She even forgot to cry.

"There is, however, a score between us that I would like to settle right now." Lu Boyan's expression grew darker and darker. Danger leaked from his long and narrow eyes.

All of a sudden, a bad feeling formed at the pit of Su Yuanyuan's stomach. "Score? What score? Brother-in-law, is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

"Leaking Jianan's personal details and photo on the forum. You call that a misunderstanding?"

Su Yuanyuan visibly paled. She stared wide-eyed at Su Jianan, completely incapable of speech.
