Su Die's confession seemed extremely sincere and heartfelt, making even the beauty Mo Qing falter and hesitate for a moment. After all, she still didn't want to admit that all those years of friendship had been a lie.
For that reason, right now she felt like her words made sense, while it didn't release her from the guilt, and responsibility at least it was comprehensible.
Mo Qing had visited Su Die's place as well, and she had great esteem for her mother and her little sister, they seemed like extremely good people, always treating her like family.
Just thinking about this, it made her feel that perhaps her friend wasn't that much in the wrong, and this wasn't Su Die's fault but those two bastards.
Once she started thinking like this, her anger and rage towards Su Die seemed to waver by quite a bit, as after thinking hard, she could only take a deep breath, while saying in an angry tone,
"For Aunt Mei's, little Ying's, and all those years of friendship I am letting you off today, but you better never appear in front of me ever again, as I don't know what I will be capable of doing!"
"Sister Mo Qing I…."
"Disappear from my sight now bi*tch, now! I don't want to talk to you any longer!"
Su Die understood that she couldn't talk to this woman any longer, and she could only choose to take a sheet to cover her body and run to her own room.
On the way outside though she was actually confronted with the great news of the two Young Masters that were guilty of what happened, and she couldn't help but return back again.
Mo Qing had just started to cry, and think about what to do from now on, when she sensed and saw Su Die return back inside the room, with a clearly shocked expression,
"Why the fu*ck did you get back in here sl*ut!? Isn't it enough what you have already done!? I have now become a cheap bi*tch to the whole world, due to your amazing friendship!
Don't you think I can kill you!? Arrgghhh~!"
By the end of her words, she tried to stand up but the pain in between her legs was just too great, and she couldn't help but fall down on her back again.
"Crazy! This is crazy!"
Mo Qing was extremely angry and displeased with the situation, her condition, and her inability to stand up and strangle the bi*tch in front of her, as she heard those words making her even angrier,
"Yes, I am crazy! You dirty bi*tch, you are culpable for this, you made me crazy! I truly want to strangle, and see you die right now!"
"Not you, the situation!"
"Of course is a crazy situation you slu*t, you just sold me to those perverted bastards, and are still capable of talking in front of me!
I wish so badly to stand up and give you a good beating, and make you suffer for the rest of your life!"
"I didn't mean about you! Well, actually we are both involved in this, but it's completely different from what you think!"
"What the hell are you trying to say!?"
"Outside!"
"Outside what!? Are there reporters ready to crucify me!? Are there people from my family waiting to kill us both!? This is all your fault, you cheap sl*ut!
If I don't die today, I will make sure to make your life a living hell!"
"No, no, none of that! Outside I heard…"
"What!? Then what!? Come on, speak fast what the hell did you hear outside!"
"There is no news of what happened to us, what I heard is even more frightening!"
"What the hell did you hear out there, spill it out for god's sake!"
"Outside I heard that Cui Hu and Yun Zhao had actually been found today morning doing that to each other, while there is no news about us!
People are calling them 'Chrysanthemum Mates'!"
"What!? How is that possible!?"
"It's that guy! The one that… he must have done all this!"
In the middle of her speech, she forcefully controlled herself from saying anything, as she didn't want to make Mo Qing even angrier if that was possible, but she continued her line of thought quickly.
Mo Qing couldn't believe this either, as despite her pain she forced herself to stand up, and get dressed, as she wanted to hear this news with her own ears.
Su Die did the same as well, as she stood up and immediately went to have a double check on the news spread outside.
…
Meanwhile, Eric was enjoying the company of Li Yao, while Madam Li was actually still in a terrible and scary state.
She had yet to recover from the death of her son, and her anger was fully directed towards the Li Saint, as he was the one returning the bullets.
She had never thought that the situation would develop like this, and she had no idea of what to do from here on out, as all she knew was that she wanted revenge for her son.
The only reason she had followed Eric was that he had promised her revenge and that he would be the one to bring her target in front of her.
In that weak and terrible state that she was in, it was impossible for her to be able to resist Eric's slave seal, and now she could only blame her fate, and her luck.
Still, in order to not make the relationship between them too forced, Eric hadn't forced her to do anything intimate lately and had allowed her to stay in her own little world.
Right now there was a much more important thing to do though, as the Li Family had finally been retaken from the Li Patriarch, as the big families were thinking about what to do with them.
While the Li Family was also a victim in this whole mess, the Ling and Cao Families wanted to hold them responsible for whatever had happened and take them down.
Even though they had just gotten out of 'jail' the Li Family people, or to be more exact the Li Family Patriarch's people were being forced into another 'jail' or in total destruction.
Of course, Eric couldn't allow that to happen as the Li Family's safety was his promise to Li Yao, so he immediately sent Cui Xie to help them out.
Since the Li Family didn't have much of a choice they had to accept of passing under Cui Xie's and the Cui Family's patronage and become their subsidiary.
Of course that made the Cui and Ling Families extremely angry, as they were even thinking of going against the Cui Family together.
Unfortunately, the vase had already been broken and it was impossible to put the pieces back together, as both families had each other as their greatest enemy.
If one of them acted against the Cui Family, then while they might be able to bring the Cui Family down, they would suffer a lot of damage, and become an easy target for the rest.
For that reason, they could only have a cold war with the Cui Family, while keeping their swords sharpened for their enemies.
Of course, the Cui Family Head took this opportunity to try and pressure Cui Xie even more, aiming for his remaining shares, but the problem was that he was in a tight position of his own.
People that would normally remain neutral and watch from the sides how he bullied Cui Xie, started making a stand and backing Cui Xie against him.
Cui Hu's matter couldn't be overlooked that easily, and these guys felt that this was their chance. While they didn't hold much hope in Cui Xie, they were thinking of using him as cannon fodder to reveal that guy's cards and strength.
When they finally had the confidence to bring him down, then they would take the opportunity and vie for the position of Family Head.
Despite Cui Hu being disowned publicly they still didn't let go of the topic, and whenever the Family Head tried to make an argument he would be attacked with that.
It was unavoidable!
As a result, the Li Family was accepted as a subsidiary family and taken under the protection of the Cui Family, while making even their enmity with the Ye Family a weird situation.
At first Cui Family seemed to have decided to side with the Ye Family, helping them in taking down the Li Family, but now the link between the Ye and Cui Families was gone, while the Li Family became a subsidiary.
The Cui Family Head didn't know how to deal with the situation anymore, because even though he had publicly disowned his son, he wasn't going to truly act against him.
So he was stuck between a hard place and a rock, not knowing which side to pick!
The more this dilemma of his continued the better was for Cui Xie, and the Li Family, as they had the time to take a breather, reorganize, and recover their strength.
Even though he knew he was being used as a cannon fodder Cui Xie was planning of making use of every opportunity and support he could muster.
In the eyes of these people, he was too weak to be considered a threat, so this was his best moment to make the best out of everything, and by the time they understood his strength, it would be too late.
With the help of Eric from the shadows, he was 100% sure that the Cui Family would end up in his hands…
