Chapter 659: Red Evil

There was no expression on Yu Qionghua's face, but it was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress her emotions.

After the anger, excitement, and complex emotions, all of these emotions turned into intense sadness.

Her eyes darkened, and she slowly spoke, "The Yu family has been a century-old family, once at the height of its glory. But precisely because we were so afraid of falling from the top, when all industries were undergoing reform, our family remained conservative. By the time my father's generation came around, it was already weakened. We were called a wealthy and aristocratic family, but in reality, we were just an empty shell. When business was slow, we had to curry favor with those in power. My father despised me because I was a woman, unable to inherit the family business. He didn't train me to be the heir, but only used me as a social butterfly, letting me mingle with all the powerful and influential people."

"My father and uncles only treated me as a commodity to be sold. They would give me to whoever offered the highest price. But those powerful people care most about their wives' appearance. Who would be willing to marry a socialite who is so popular among everyone?" At this point, Yu Qionghua looked at Su Man jokingly: "You should understand me very well. After all, we have been through the same road. I heard that your aunt was almost willing to put a price on you and hang you in the window for people to bid on."

Su Man listened calmly and did not feel any pain.

"At that time, I was still very young, with a future full of possibilities. I was tired and disgusted by the life of being tossed around between different men. I hated that kind of life and wanted to realize my ambitions. It was at that time that I met Zhou Linxian.

"The way he looked at me was different from the way other men looked at me. At that time, he had just returned from a local posting and had been promoted three levels, becoming the man at the top of the pyramid. Naturally, I was handed over to him. But the first night I spent with him, he didn't rush to take off my clothes like other men did. Instead, he chatted with me. It was the first time I sat opposite a man dressed neatly until dawn. At dawn, he sent a car to take me back to Yu's house. He could see my ambition and appreciated my insights into the current situation. From him, I felt respected for the first time and understood what it meant to be a soulmate.

"There were many women who wanted to be with him. I also heard that he kept quite a few women. Before he was transferred back, there was a woman who stayed with him for three years, but he still abandoned her. From the moment the appointment and dismissal documents came down, he broke off all ties with that woman. But I don't care about any of that. I just want him.

"Later, I met him more often, and our relationship finally had a substantial breakthrough. He announced to the outside world that I was his woman. From then on, I broke away from my previous life and followed him alone. He was an extremely domineering person. He didn't allow me to say a word to other men, nor did he allow me to get too close to other men. In return, I asked him to do the same. I thought he would be angry, but unexpectedly, he agreed to my request. He said that those women had been with him for some years, and he didn't have the heart to break up with them personally. So I volunteered to deal with his women outside personally, but there was one thing: no matter what means I used, he was not allowed to interfere. He actually agreed.

"I was young then, and I thought he was being loyal to me, that he loved me so much he couldn't help himself..." Yu Qionghua laughed bitterly at herself, "But later I realized, those women were just the ones he had grown tired of, had played with, but wanted to get rid of but couldn't. He was just worried about not being able to get rid of them, and I was the tool he used to cut off his ties with those women. He didn't need to give any orders, I would rush out for him excitedly, just because I loved him, a love that was devastating and beyond my control."
