Chapter 121 Take a Good Look at Who I Am
-
Lixiangyuan
Su Cheng walked on the path, his eyelids slightly lowered, his gaze fixed on his toes. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and he didn't notice that there was someone standing in front of him.
It was not until a pair of black boots appeared in his sight and the pungent scent of powder rushed into his nose that Su Cheng suddenly came to his senses. He looked up and forward, and his eyes met Zhao Jue's.
"Su Cheng, you are quite brave." Zhao Jue looked down at her, his eyes falling on her bright and flamboyant little face, a hint of obsession flashing in his eyes.
Seeing that it was him, Su Cheng distanced himself from him without leaving any trace, with a smile on his lips, "Cousin Jue, I don't understand what you said."
Zhao Jue stared at her intently, his voice low, "How dare you lay hands on my mother? Do you think I'm dead?"
Su Cheng's lips curled up slightly as she met his eyes, her gaze clear. "If Third Aunt hadn't humiliated me first, how could I have attacked an elder? I was born in a humble family and was used to being wild. Cousin Jue, don't you know the principle of not offending others if they don't offend me?"
Zhao Jue was dazzled by her smile and was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to come back to his senses and stammered, "I...you..."
He hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. The smile on her lips widened. She moved closer to him, breathing sweetly, "I have always believed that cousin Jue is the most reasonable person in the mansion, and he can clearly distinguish right from wrong."
Zhao Jue swallowed his saliva and looked at the beauty in front of him with a sullen look, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Su Cheng sighed softly, looking helpless as she blinked her misty eyes at him. "The family is in chaos right now. I know I shouldn't have taken action against Aunt San, but I was pushed into a corner..."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhao Jue almost couldn't control himself, his face flushed, "I... I understand that you have been wronged."
Took the bait.
The corners of Su Cheng's lips lifted slightly, and he slowly raised his eyes, his mist thickening. His voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "Then why did Cousin Jue come here to accuse me?"
Zhao Jue was momentarily flustered and hurriedly explained to the beauty, "I'm not... I feel bad for you being wronged, and I understand how difficult it is for you to be isolated and helpless in the Zhao family. If you... could follow me, I would definitely find a way to help you."
Su Cheng forced himself to hide the smile in his eyes, looked at him pitifully, and said softly, "What do you mean by this, cousin Jue?"
Zhao Jue's eyes were a little vague, and when he met Su Cheng's wet eyes, he felt a little helpless.
It's ridiculous that he, a veteran in the love field, would act like a young boy who has just fallen in love.
"If you're interested in me, I'll be waiting for you in the fourth room on the east side of the backyard at midnight tonight."
Zhao Jue hurriedly said this before turning around and running away in a panic.
Looking at his back, Su Cheng sneered, and the tenderness she had just felt disappeared in an instant. "What a shameless person! You are so shameless and lecherous! How dare you act like a slut in front of me? I will definitely peel off a layer of skin from you."
When they returned to Lixiangyuan, all the members of the Xie family surrounded them.
"Ah Cheng, how was your night?" Xie Jinyu frowned and looked at her with concern. "Did the Zhao family give you any trouble?"
Su Cheng shook his head and smiled at him gently, "It's okay. They are not qualified to embarrass me."
Xie Ming stood to one side, staring at her with a heavy look in his eyes. "Why do you look like you have so much on your mind?"
"When I came back, Zhao Jue blocked my way." Su Cheng didn't intend to hide it from them, but lowered his voice and whispered, "He wanted to cause trouble for me, but this lecher only has women on his mind. He got carried away after just a few words and asked me to meet him at midnight tonight."
"Zhao Jue? Secret meeting?" Xie Ming's face instantly turned cold, and he turned around and walked into the house.
Su Cheng saw him leave and asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"
Xie Ming glanced sideways, his tone cold, "I'll get a knife and chop off his head."
"Don't be so anxious!" Su Cheng pulled Xie Ming back by his sleeve, a sly smile on his lips as he whispered, "I was just worrying about how to deal with the third room. Zhao Jue came to me on his own initiative. Isn't this giving me a chance?"
Xie Ming was a little puzzled. He frowned at her and said in a deep voice, "You want to turn the tables on him?"
"Of course, I've finally figured it out. The Zhao family is a den of dragons and tigers. No wonder the Zhao family came looking for me. The first and third branches have a bunch of jackals and tigers. If I don't fight back, I'll probably be eaten clean by them at any time."
Su Cheng lowered his eyes, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. "Zhao Jue's biggest weakness is his love for beautiful women. He can't tell east from west with just a flick of his finger. He just asked me to meet him in the fourth room on the east side of the backyard. I guess he's already set his sights on me."
"You want to go?" Xie Ming's face was full of disapproval, and he shook his head slightly, "I will never agree to you taking such a risk."
"I'm not going, you go for me."
Su Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "Catch him in the act."
Xie Ming raised his eyebrows, showing some interest. "And then?"
"Destroy him."

Chou hour
A tall figure flashed in front of a row of rooms on the east side of the backyard and tiptoed into the fourth room.
"Ah Cheng... Ah Cheng..."
The wing room was pitch black, and Zhao Jue could not see his hand in front of him. He could only grope forward, feeling the way forward with his toes.
The moonlight was so weak tonight that it couldn't even penetrate the window. Zhao Jue couldn't see anyone in the room and could only call out softly, "Ah Cheng, are you there?"
The next moment, a slight noise was heard in the room.
Zhao Jue's body trembled, and he held his breath and groped towards the source of the sound. After a few steps, he touched someone's shoulder.
"Ah Cheng?" Zhao Jue exclaimed, a smile spreading across his face. "Ah Cheng, is that you?"
The person in front of him didn't respond to him, but just gently held his shoulders.
The force on the shoulder was very light, and there was a faint familiar floral scent from Su Cheng.
Zhao Jue's face lit up with joy, thinking that she was just a shy girl who was embarrassed to talk to him.
"Ah Cheng, don't be nervous. I'm here to support you. I won't hurt you." Zhao Jue said sweet words, slowly placing his hand on her shoulder, his expression intoxicated. "As long as you follow me, I can give you any wealth and glory."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jue suddenly realized something was wrong. He tentatively touched the hand on his shoulder again, "Ah Cheng, why are your hands so big? And... why are there calluses on your knuckles?"
Suddenly, a man's laughter was heard in the room.
Zhao Jue froze, his eyes widened in disbelief, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He didn't laugh just now, where did this laughter come from?
Almost in the blink of an eye, his arm was twisted behind his back. Zhao Jue screamed, and before he could come to his senses, he was pushed against the window by a huge force.
"Take a good look at who I am."
Zhao Jue looked back in a daze, and in the moonlight, he saw the man's stern face.
