Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Who is the Third Party?
Su Zixi thought for a moment, “The ‘others’ you mentioned, do you mean yourself? But why have I heard that the so-called engagement doesn’t exist?”
“If the He Family wants to go back on their word, of course, they would deny it,” Xia Xinyu said with a gentle smile. “The Young Mistress surely understands such principle, doesn’t she?”
“Mmm, I understand,” Su Zixi sighed. “I’m truly touched that Jingyao would go back on his word for me.”
Xia Xinyu’s expression changed slightly as she deeply looked at Su Zixi.
Su Zixi calmly smiled.
“Indeed, one should view old acquaintances with new eyes after a few days’ absence.” Xia Xinyu sighed softly. “The Young Mistress really surprised me.”
“I’m flattered,” Su Zixi continued to smile calmly.
Once she would have panicked at Xia Xinyu’s words, simply because back then there was no relationship between her and He Jingyao.
Now that she and Jingyao were firmly husband and wife, why would she take Xia Xinyu’s sarcastic remarks seriously? If she thought that could shake her, she was surely underestimating herself.
Xia Xinyu seemed somewhat at a loss, she sipped her hot drink and concealed the annoyance in her eyes.
Who He Jingyao married didn’t concern her at all, but she didn’t want to appear useless to Yizheng.
If Su Zixi managed to get pregnant and have a child smoothly, that would make Yizheng’s target even more unachievable… Thinking of this, Xia Xinyu grew even more agitated.
She couldn’t help but scoff sarcastically, “Su Zixi, I didn’t expect you to be any different from those shameless women.”
“Miss Xia, I think you’ve got one thing wrong,” Su Zixi couldn’t help but point out, “Even if you and Jingyao had an engagement, that’s all in the past now. Currently, I am Jingyao’s wife. So, isn’t it shameless of you trying to sabotage my relationship with Jingyao?”
Xia Xinyu pressed her lips together, looking coldly at her.
“You even resorted to threatening Jingyao by attempting suicide,” Su Zixi earnestly said. “Miss Xia, you come from a good background and surpass me in many ways, could it be that you intend to be the other woman?”
The words “the other woman” made Xia Xinyu’s face turn white as she fiercely stood up, “The other woman is you!”
“Oh, were you and Jingyao ever husband and wife then?” Su Zixi asked with a grin.
She certainly wasn’t going to carry the blame of “the other woman.”
Xia Xinyu glared at her hatefully, her pretty lips turning white as she bit them, then suddenly she coldly spat out a sentence, “Hmph, you are at best just someone to warm his bed, if it weren’t for… ”
“Zhixi, Xinyu, what are you talking about?” Liu Minjun suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Xia Xinyu.
Xia Xinyu took a deep breath and sat down, smiling gently, “It’s nothing, I was just joking with the Young Mistress.”
Su Zixi glanced at Xia Xinyu, curious about what she was about to say.
But it certainly wasn’t anything good.
“Xinyu, thank you for often keeping this old wife company over the past two years,” Liu Minjun sat down next to Su Zixi and said with a smile to Xia Xinyu, “But now that Zhixi is here to keep me company, you won’t have to bother in the future.”
How could Xia Xinyu not understand the hint in Liu Minjun’s words? She just wanted her to stop coming in the future.
Two years of effort, and this was the result… Xia Xinyu’s fingers clenched tightly, she wanted to loudly declare she didn’t care, but remembering He Yizheng, she had to swallow all her grievances silently.
