Chapter 459: Chapter 223: Killing with a Borrowed Knife (Part 2)
Although Su Jiameng had good intentions to give advice, her tone was really poor. Plus, she pressed against the person’s heart with Xihe, making it hard for others to believe it was advice and not provocation. But regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, Su Jiameng had said everything she needed to say. After all, she was just a person, and a mortal with selfish motives, not a Holy Mother who could still smile cheerfully after her son was hurt.
The young man furrowed his brows slightly and said to Su Jiameng, "I remember your words, but now I also want to give you some advice. If you don’t leave soon, my big brother might come over, and then you’ll find it difficult to leave..."
Su Jiameng sheathed Xihe, her face carrying a faint smile that didn’t reach her eyes, "Your big brother? Could it be the biological father of that child? If so, I must see this person, to see how he raised his child to be so unruly and ruthless! Is his blood so filthy that it can’t be seen by others, otherwise how could he give birth to such... a disgraceful child?"
The young man, Shangguan Ruolin, couldn’t take Su Jiameng’s provocation, despite having a good temper. If it weren’t for accidentally meeting Gu Ningxuan after many years and accepting his request, Shangguan Ruolin wouldn’t have tolerated it repeatedly.
In the past, if someone spoke to him like this, he definitely wouldn’t let it slide! At this moment, he felt some resentment towards Gu Ningxuan for not clearly stating that Su Jiameng was such a formidable woman. Why did he need to secretly look after her?
"Oh, so in your eyes, the children of our Shangguan family are just so lowly?" The man who rushed over had an unpleasant look on his face and eyed Su Jiameng unfavorably, but showed no intention of confronting her physically.
Su Jiameng gave a cold stare at the other party as Shangguan Ruolin stepped forward and addressed him as "Big Brother". The newcomer was Shangguan Ruiqi, a captain who had been transferred from the Augustus Military Department to Qiming Star a few days ago. Although his position in the Military Department wasn’t as high as Yun Cuixi’s, he was backed by the Augustus’s Shangguan Family and had access to resources and power that a mere Lieutenant General couldn’t compare to.
The moment she saw him, Su Jiameng had already confirmed the man’s identity; he was indeed one of the nine she was looking for! She wondered how that research institute managed to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes and swap out the eldest son of the Shangguan family!
However, even though he’s hidden in an aristocratic family with vast resources at his disposal, he would also be the easiest to deal with. Thinking of this, Su Jiameng was already drafting plans in her mind on how to quietly dispose of Shangguan Ruiqi! Just in time to settle new and old scores together!
"Whether or not they’re lowly depends on how your family’s children behave, doesn’t it? Just because someone else looks better than her, does she have to disfigure them... Haha, luckily, technology and medicine are advanced now, and the destroyed looks can be restored to their original state. What if they couldn’t be restored? Wouldn’t that ruin a person’s life! Do you think such things which can be compensated are trivial, allowing your child to act so recklessly?"
Shangguan Ruiqi cast a dangerous glance at the daughter shrinking behind his brother, his eyes full of warning. This emotion quickly vanished as he turned to Su Jiameng. Unexpectedly, he called the child named Ling’er out to apologize, "Ling’er, apologize!"
Su Jiameng coldly watched the little child with a stubborn and even hateful gaze on Shangguan Ruiqi. The small fist loosened and tightened repeatedly, before letting out a heavy hum, reluctantly stepping out from behind Shangguan Ruolin to bow and apologize to Huaifeng, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have treated you like that before! Our Shangguan family will cover all medical expenses!"
Su Jiameng almost laughed out loud. Who in the world apologizes like this? Sure this isn’t just stoking the fire, making the situation worse?
Huaifeng secretly glanced at his mother’s expression, pouting his little mouth high, utterly disliked this super mean and super ugly monster, and even so aloof when apologizing! But the little guy also had his own thoughts, accepting the apology unwillingly, "Considering you’re apologizing, I reluctantly forgive you, but you mustn’t do such bad things again."
It’s not your fault for being ugly, but it’s wrong to be jealous of those who look better than you and attempt to destroy others’ looks. Huaifeng thought indifferently in his heart, then turned around and hugged Changxi’s neck, refusing to look at the other party anymore.
