Su Niannian looked at the man in front of her with pitiful eyes, nodded aggrievedly, and answered weakly, "Yes! It hurts. Not only does my butt hurt, but this hurts even more."
As she spoke, she pointed to her heart, accusing him of his evil deeds that had severely damaged her heart.
She lied entirely to play the victim in front of Si Lijue, hoping to arouse his sympathy and make him stop pursuing the foolish things she did five years ago and forgive her and her son.
Si Lijue fiddled with the lighter in his hand, looking at her with interest, and continued casually, "But the floor of this room is covered with wool carpet imported from Australia. It's fine and soft to the touch. You shouldn't feel any pain."
Seeing that the man in front of her was not easily fooled and that her lie had almost been exposed, Su Niannian felt embarrassed and guilty. She forced herself to explain, "Is there any possibility that you, Mr. Si, bought a fake?"
She remained silent the entire way, letting Si Lijue throw her into the car like a piece of cargo, then unload her like a cargo, and finally carry her to this room in the hotel.
She's a mother of a four-year-old, she has her pride too, you know?
If her little one knew about these things, he'd laugh his head off!
However, to be fair, the room was indeed luxuriously decorated, a world apart from the hotel's ordinary rooms.
Moreover, to be honest, the floor was as soft as cotton. When Si Lijue roughly threw her to the ground, she didn't feel any pain at all.
She held onto the belief that even if she lied, Si Lijue would be unable to expose her.
After all, the feeling of pain is her own, just like only she knows whether a shoe fits or not.
No matter how powerful Si Lijue is, he cannot understand her true feelings.
Si Lijue stared intently at Su Niannian, asking each word clearly, "Fake goods? Do you think I would buy fake goods? Or do you think others would dare to sell me fake goods? Or do you think I'm just a sucker who can be deceived and treated with contempt?"
This woman dares to look down on me so much, she really dares to treat me like a fool who doesn't know my worth.
In all his years, no business partner or merchant has ever dared to cheat him.
In this world, the only person who dares to deceive him and belittle him is this woman in front of him who has the audacity to do so.
Su Niannian mustered her courage and continued fearlessly, "President Si, I think that although you are very rich, powerful and well-connected..."
But as the head of the Si family and managing such a large listed company, you must be very busy, and your time and energy are limited.
As a result, you naturally won't be able to consider all the factors involved.
So, it's not impossible for your subordinates to take kickbacks, skim some profits, and buy counterfeit goods to fool you.
Who knows, this carpet might be a high-quality fake, and it's highly likely that the person in charge of the renovation took kickbacks. Otherwise, my butt wouldn't hurt so much.
If you don't believe me, then I'll throw you hard onto the floor and let you feel for yourself whether it hurts or not, how about that?
After she finished speaking, she looked nervously at Si Lijue, hoping he would nod in agreement.
At the same time, she was mentally calculating what position she should use to push him down so that she could get revenge for the grievance she had just suffered.
Looking at Su Niannian's expectant and eager eyes, Si Lijue couldn't help but smile. However, he pretended to be angry, widened his eyes, and sneered coldly: "Hmph! Su Niannian, I feel like you've only grown wrinkles in the past few years, and your brain hasn't improved at all."
Do you really think I'm that stupid?
They even said they were going to throw me hard onto the floor to see if I would feel any pain.
I can tell you're clearly lying, deliberately making up an excuse to get revenge on me.
His tone was tinged with a hint of mockery and displeasure, as if he were quite helpless about her suggestion.
However, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, revealing the joy in his heart.
Hearing Si Lijue's words, Su Niannian suppressed the urge to tear the man in front of her apart, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Who said I only grow wrinkles and not brains? I've grown in every part of me in the past five years, except for wrinkles, okay?"
That scoundrel! He's lying through his teeth; doesn't he fear his own tongue slipping out?
I think you're just saying I have wrinkles on purpose, trying to get revenge for the time I slept with you five years ago!
Five years ago that night, you were clearly enjoying yourself and having a great time, while I was the one who suffered, was exhausted, and was hurt.
You're still acting all high and mighty here, you're really getting the better of me and then complaining! You bastard, you're utterly despicable!
She could only vent her dissatisfaction in her heart, and dared not speak her mind.
She shook her head decisively, denying it outright: "No, no, Mr. Si, I swear I absolutely have no intention of retaliating against you, and besides, I wouldn't dare."
And let me state upfront that I'm not lying, my butt really hurts.
Mr. Si, you can know a person's face but not their heart. How can you be so sure that the people around you or your business partners are not lying to you?
Maybe they've got your psychology figured out, that's why they're trying to pull this off!
No way! The fact that she slept with him five years ago is still fresh in everyone's mind. If Si Lijue finds out now and she still has thoughts of revenge, he'll definitely kill her with his own hands today.
Tomorrow's headlines will feature a story about a woman's body found in a hotel room, with the cause of death unknown or suspected to be suicide.
She believed that, given Si Lijue's ruthless and vicious methods, killing her and then absolving himself of all responsibility would be an extremely easy task.
She had to shift the focus of the conflict to others to distract him, so that she could take the opportunity to escape.
Si Lijue stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his pockets, and stared intently at Su Niannian with a hint of pressure in his long, dark eyes.
A faint, ambiguous smile played on his lips as he spoke calmly, "Indeed, you can know a person's face but not their heart. After all, you deceived me five years ago and secretly gave birth to my child."
Su Niannian, you shouldn't be focusing on yourself and how to get my forgiveness. You even have the leisure to meddle in other people's business.
"Shouldn't we settle some old scores from five years ago?" he said, walking towards her step by step.
His deep, magnetic voice echoed in the air, striking Su Niannian's heartstrings like a heavy hammer, bringing her immense pressure and making it hard for her to breathe.
With each step he took forward, her heart began to beat faster.
As Su Niannian watched him approach, she felt overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from him; when she heard that he wanted to settle scores with her, she turned pale with fright and her body trembled slightly.
She looked at Si Lijue with wary eyes, afraid that he might do something rash. She moved her lips a few times and said nervously, "Mr. Si, people always have to look forward. Let bygones be bygones!"
