Long Sijue furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He was about to walk over and grab the young woman, but a person who appeared to be a servant walked in. He told Long Sijue that Elder Long had something important to discuss with him.
“Be still and wait here until I come back,” Long Sijue said and left with the man.
Su Qianxun felt a tightness in her chest. She recalled that he was holding Lan Qingcheng in his arms earlier on and bit her lower lip without realizing it.
She thought that he would explain himself to her.
…
There was the sound of tires rolling over the ground from outside the room. Su Qianxun immediately became vigilant. In the next moment, as expected, Xiao Mingyan and Lan Qingcheng appeared at the door. Lan Qingcheng wheeled Xiao Mingyan into the room.
“Miss Su, I didn’t expect you to be so crafty. You managed to suck up to Elder Long.” Lan Qingcheng wore a sweet smile on her face. But Su Qianxun knew very well how wicked she was.
“This is none of your concern,” Su Qianxun replied coldly.
“Hehe. Do you think that once you sucked up to Elder Long, you’ll get to be with Sijue? In your dreams!”
This was the first time Xiao Mingyan and Su Qianxun were meeting after the latter stabbed her arm with a fork. Xiao Mingyan glared at her and wanted so badly to tear her into shreds.
Naturally, there was a hateful look in Su Qianxun’s eyes when she glared at Xiao Mingyan. Considering that Xiao Mingyan had killed Long Xiaoxun, she believed that the latter should not get away with what she had done with just a stab wound on her arm!
Their glares clashed in the air, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became very tense.
Lan Qingcheng was very happy with the current situation. She smiled and said, “Aunty, we had a long walk. You must be thirsty. Let me pour you a glass of water.”
“You don’t have to. You… pour me a glass of water,” Xiao Mingyan gave Su Qianxun an order.
“I’m not your servant or your — bootlicker… I’m busy.”
Lan Qingcheng winced. She knew that Su Qianxun was mocking her. But she did not mind. As long as she could be with Long Sijue, she was willing to be called a bootlicker.
“Aunty, let me do it.” Lan Qingcheng poured some hot water into a glass. A cold look flickered in her eyes.
Su Qianxun did not want to stay in the same room as these two wicked, two-faced women. She wanted to leave. But at the same time, she had to stay vigilant in front of Lan Qingcheng and Xiao Mingyan.
As expected, when she was about to head to the door, Lan Qingcheng suddenly splashed the hot water at her. Su Qianxun was paying attention to the glass of hot water Lan Qingcheng was holding. There was steam coming out of the glass. If the water got on her, it would surely scald her.
When Su Qianxun ducked away, she gave Lan Qingcheng’s hand a push. A little hot water spilled out of the glass and onto the back of Lan Qingcheng’s hand, while the rest of the hot water splashed onto Xiao Mingyan’s face.
Scalded by the hot water, Xiao Mingyan let out a harrowing yelp. Lan Qingcheng started screaming. She immediately fell onto her knees by Xiao Mingyan’s wheelchair and asked anxiously, “Aunty, are you alright? Miss Su, why did you push me1? Aunty, I’m sorry…”
“It was you who tried to set me up. From what I saw, you must have splashed the water on her face on purpose. You are standing so far away. It would be impossible for the water to reach there by accident.” Su Qianxun exposed Lan Qingcheng’s lie right away.
Lan Qingcheng was actually quite scared, for her position earlier on was very far away from Xiao Mingyan indeed. Now, she was very nervous. She worried that Xiao Mingyan would blame her for it.
“What’s going on?” Long Xixing heard a commotion when he passed by the room. He came in and furrowed his eyebrows as he accessed the slightly chaotic situation in the room.
“Xixing, Miss Su scalded me and Aunt Xiao with hot water on purpose.” Lan Qingcheng extended her hand that was covered with a few red blotches. There were tears in her eyes.
“That little b*tch is truly wicked. She even dared to deny her wrongdoing and blame other people!” Xiao Mingyan slammed on the armrest of her wheelchair furiously. Her scalded and reddened face was filled with rage.
Long Xixing looked at the tiny red blotches on Lan Qingcheng’s hand. He suddenly turned around and tried to slap Su Qianxun with the back of his hand. He was very strong. If he hit Su Qianxun for real, she would probably get a concussion.
