“Don’t be angry. It’s okay,” Su Wen comforted him softly.
Zhou Hengyang’s voice was cold and stern. “She deserves to die!”
“I know, I know. You told me she’s not worth your time,” Su Wen forced out a smile. “I can handle it myself. You have to trust me. When I get into trouble, you just have to help me clean up the mess.”
Zhou Hengyang pursed his thin lips, trying to suppress the urge to retaliate. He reminded himself to stay calm. Zhou Hengyang had always been composed. Nothing could make him lose control, and nothing could stump him.
After taking a few deep breaths, he finally managed to regain control.
“Okay!” Zhou Hengyang had long been aware of Wenwen’s capabilities. He was willing to indulge and support her endeavours.
His wife wanted to be independent and pursue her career. He was willing to stand by her, allowing her freedom while accommodating her choices because he cared for her deeply.
Zhu Yueju was intimidated by Zhou Hengyang’s demeanour and nearly collapsed to the ground. Yet, she refused to admit it, taking advantage of the villagers’ recent concessions and refraining from provoking her. They feared she might exploit her madness.
This fueled Zhu Yueju’s arrogance. Though she was frightened inside, her mouth grew more insolent. “I tell you, others may fear you, but I don’t. You’re a backstabber, and the other one is a disgrace!”
Zhu Yueju glared at Su Wen with profound hatred in her eyes. She yearned to rush forward and scratch Su Wen’s face but was restrained by Old Man Sun.
“What are you doing? Come back here,” scolded Old Man Sun in a low voice.
“I was just venting my anger. What’s wrong? Can’t even do that?” She glared defiantly, unwilling to back down.
“Enough,” Old Man Sun said firmly. He was now deeply apprehensive of Zhou Hengyang. He realized he had underestimated Zhou Hengyang’s strength, which had prompted him to keep Zhu Yueju away from trouble.
“Just wait,” Zhu Yueju spat at Su Wen.
Fortunately, Su Wen dodged swiftly. Otherwise, she would have been spat on, which was disgusting enough.
Furious, Su Wen’s body trembled uncontrollably. Unable to contain her anger any longer, she swung the stool with all her might, smashing it into Zhu Yueju’s face.
The surrounding people were terrified, hastily making way, creating a large space.
Old Man Sun rushed forward, wanting to help Zhu Yueju, but Zhou Hengyang grabbed his shoulder, rendering him immobile.
He struggled but remained still. Fear washed over him, causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead.
“If you don’t want your daughter to stay in jail forever, you can try,” Zhou Hengyang sneered in a low voice. His tone was deceptively light, yet the coldness and cruelty were unmistakable. “If you doubt my abilities, go ahead and test me.”
Old Man Sun slumped on the ground dispiritedly. He knew Zhou Hengyang had the power to enforce his decisions.
That’s why he had been preventing Zhu Yueju from confronting Su Wen.
“This is what you get when you insult me,” Su Wen’s anger surged. It was the first time she had felt such intense rage. Despite her time in this world, she had never been genuinely furious in any of her previous confrontations. She endured those she could tolerate, but Zhu Yueju had truly crossed the line.
Su Wen swung the stool with full force, her movements smooth and unhurried. Each strike landed accurately on Zhu Yueju, swift and ruthless. Zhu Yueju fought back desperately but was kicked back precisely by Su Wen.
“B*tch…” Just as she was about to curse, Su Wen raised the stool and struck Zhu Yueju’s mouth, causing her to spit out a blackened front tooth and blood.
