Chapter 19: What do you want to say?
Su Ran’s brows were tinged with impatience, and her languid tone was filled with disgust.
With a weak and aggrieved face, Su Xinyan looked at her, but Su Ran did not miss the flash of triumph in the depths of her eyes.
Gu Heng admonished her harshly.
Su Ran turned around to meet Gu Heng’s cold, unfamiliar gaze.
“When did you become so sharp and harsh? You’ve never known to reflect on your mistakes. Xinyan is your sister, you…”
With the grating sound of glass shattering, the water cup in Su Ran’s hand exploded at Gu Heng’s feet.
The words that followed were cut short as he lifted his head in disbelief. Su Ran’s casual demeanor slightly withdrew, her expression emotionless, and a chilling coldness tinged her bright, clear eyes, making one shiver without feeling cold.
“What do you want to say?”
The icy stare and cold tone rendered Gu Heng speechless.
Su Ran’s domineering presence made Su Xinyan’s teeth itch with jealousy. She looked up at Gu Heng only to see him staring blankly at Su Ran, making no move.
With her lips tightly pursed, her hand clutching Gu Heng’s arm tightened slightly, her expression dismal.
“Brother Heng, don’t be upset with Sister because of me. I know Sister didn’t mean it; it’s my fault. So, no matter how she treats me, it’s what I deserve.”
Su Xinyan said bitterly, her look towards Su Ran somewhat timid, “Sister, don’t blame Brother Heng, it’s all my fault…”
Sensing Su Xinyan’s trembling body, Gu Heng finally came back to his senses, drew her closer to his chest, and looked at Su Ran warily.
“Xiao Ran, it’s all my fault, not Xinyan’s. Blame me if you must…”
Su Ran’s gaze slowly fell upon Gu Heng’s face, her lips curling into a slight smirk as she retorted, “If not you, then who should I blame?”
Gu Heng was at a loss for words.
“What goes around comes around, no one is spared by the heavens. Both of you, no one can escape. Or is it that scumbags these days don’t even have a bit of self-awareness?”
Su Ran chuckled lightly, then continued,
“Oh, I forgot, scumbag? You really don’t deserve these two words.”
Gu Heng’s expression stiffened, darkening as he faced the assertive and contemptuous Su Ran, seemingly at a loss.
Watching the two of them, Su Ran’s expression was somewhat amused.
“You’d better not make me unhappy, and don’t show up in front of me. If I’m not careful and let something slip in front of the media, a little sister-in-law hooking up with her future brother-in-law? Such a fresh and clean combination, who knows if it would go viral online?”
At Su Ran’s words, Su Xinyan’s face immediately turned pale.
She had finally gained some fame in the entertainment industry and couldn’t let this ruin years of effort.
If the truth were known, that would be troublesome!
She couldn’t let anything happen that might affect her.
“Sister, Brother Heng and I are truly in love. Why must you be so aggressive?”
Su Xinyan said in a low voice, her frail face filled with restraint.
“What do you want to stop bothering Brother Heng? My life has already been given to you once, do you want it a second time?”
Su Xinyan, lying in Gu Heng’s arms, wept bitterly, looking pitiable. The pain in her voice made Gu Heng’s heart ache. He looked at Su Ran unreasonably, his eyes filled with blame and icy coldness.
“Almost forgot, I haven’t settled this account with you yet.”
Su Ran said, briskly pulling out the needle from her hand that was being used for the IV and got off the bed, her movements fluid and decisive.
