Chapter 386: I Will Not Die
Zhuang Hui's whole body was stiff. The evening wind blew on her, making her skin feel colder and colder. She raised her head to look at Su Tan and heard her own voice trembling.
"Master Su, you...what did you say?"
Su Tan looked at her quietly, "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
Zhuang Hui's voice was hoarse. She subconsciously avoided Su Tan's gaze and didn't dare to look at her.
Su Tan did not give her a chance to avoid it and cruelly revealed the truth.
"Miss Zhuang, it's useless to just keep running away. No matter how much you refuse to accept reality, the truth is already right in front of you, ready to be revealed."
"If you keep running away, you will only encourage those people to hurt you. Or is it that Miss Zhuang has the courage to commit suicide but lacks the courage to face reality?"
"So are you free and easy or a coward?"
"Or are you just like most people in this world, bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
When the words "bully the weak and fear the strong" were heard, Zhuang Hui felt as if her heart had been hit hard, and she almost couldn't breathe.
"I...I didn't!"
"I've never bullied anyone in my life, so how can I say I'm bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? Master Su, I'm almost dead, and you're going to use such harsh words to slander me?"
Su Tan just looked at her silently.
Yes, it seems that Zhuang Hui has never done a bad thing in her life.
The four words "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" are too heavy to describe her, and it is also too harsh on him.
After all, Zhuang Hui is just a poor person who is bullied by others.
No matter what, Su Tan shouldn't be like those people who hope she dies and criticize and ridicule her.
But Su Tan didn't know whether he vaguely saw a shadow of his former self through Zhuang Hui.
Seeing Zhuang Hui like this, she felt so disappointed that she wanted to use the most sharp words to wake her up.
"You're not a bully?"
Su Tan spoke in a cold tone as he looked at Zhuang Hui, staring straight into her eyes, not allowing her to retreat or escape in the slightest.
"You clearly sensed a glimmer of the truth, yet you kept silent, even subconsciously avoiding it. You would rather die than speak out the bloody truth you might have sensed."
"Zhuang Hui, you are clearly helping others bully yourself."
"You know, hurting yourself doesn't cost anything. Hurting yourself is much more satisfying than seeing someone else's true face."
It would be even harder than death for Zhuang Hui to admit that Yan Jin and his wife were deceiving her and that they had been treating her like a fool from the beginning to the end.
How is this not bullying and mistreating yourself?
Su Tan's eyes were calm and her tone was not sharp. She seemed to be particularly peaceful.
"Zhuang Hui, you are better at bullying yourself than others."
It was Zhuang Hui who first acted as the executioner to herself, and then others followed suit and hurt Zhuang Hui unscrupulously.
Zhuang Hui felt that Su Tan’s words were really cruel, but they forced her to face reality.
Her body trembled, her expression filled with joy, "Is it...Yan Jin and the others who caused these things?"
"Yan Jin and Xiao are so certain of my innocence, constantly claiming I was wronged. It's not... it's not because they believe in my character, but..."
When she said this, Zhuang Hui's voice was almost trembling.
But she only felt a strong sense of depression and anger blocking her heart, making her extremely suppressed. She wanted to vent it right now and tear apart all the grievances and resentment that had accumulated in her heart.
"But because—"
“They did all this!”
Zhuang Hui clenched her fingers tightly in her palms, as if she had used up all her strength, and finally roared out these words with red eyes.
She laughed softly twice, her face pale, her hair blown by the wind stuck to her face, the hem of her skirt was still a little wet, she looked like a ghost trying to crawl out of the river to find her enemy and take his life.
"The one who wronged me always knows how wronged I am better than I do!"
Zhuang Hui forced herself and finally spoke the truth.
Her eyes were red and her expression was angry, but after yelling, she fell to the ground with a pale face.
His eyes were full of pain and confusion.
She has always been used to hiding herself in her shell.
At this moment, even though I knew the truth, even though I was filled with anger and hatred, I still didn't know what to do.
She subconsciously wanted to escape, to shrink into her shell like before and pretend that nothing had happened.
But she couldn't help but think of what Su Tan had just said.
She was the first executioner to bully herself.
It was because she encountered trouble herself and all she thought about was how to bully herself to settle the matter, so others followed her example, biting her like hungry wolves and bullying her unscrupulously.
"what do I do……"
Zhuang Hui looked confused. Over the years, the eldest lady had only taught her how to be a dignified and polite lady from a noble family.
She was always told not to make mistakes.
Making mistakes is extremely terrifying to her.
She had no chance to make mistakes.
When she was bullied, she didn't dare to resist because resistance might mean trouble.
If something goes wrong, it means that someone else will need to clean up the mess for her.
This is also a mistake.
Zhuang Hui trembled all over.
She didn't dare to make mistakes, nor did she dare to resist. The words "cowardly" were deeply engraved in her bones.
She was nailed to the rules and regulations. Only by living in those rules and regulations and shrinking herself away could she feel comfortable and safe.
Su Tan said that she was the first executioner to bully him.
But over the years, she has indeed become accustomed to acting this way.
It is difficult to get a cowardly person to resist.
Zhuang Hui was bewildered and just kept asking Su Tan what to do.
Su Tan didn't answer her, but just looked at her quietly.
Her clear and bright eyes seemed to want to explore the depths of this timid girl's eyes.
Su Tan only asked, "Zhuang Hui, let's not talk about what to do for now. I just want to ask you, now that you know the truth, are you willing to die like before, without caring about anything else, thinking that as long as you die, you don't have to worry about so many things anymore?"
A voice in her heart told Zhuang Hui that perhaps if she really died, she would be free and it would be meaningless to resist or not.
But she just remembered the hypocritical faces of Yan Jin and his wife.
He remembered the mean and vicious look on Xiao's face when she framed his mother, and he also remembered the shameless slaps she had given him on the face.
Are you willing to die like this?
Are you willing to leave with such a stigma?
"No!"
Zhuang Hui raised her head with hatred on her face, a chill emanating from her body. Hatred was entangled in her heart, and she almost vomited blood in hatred.
“Why?”
"Why do they feel at ease when they do evil things? Why do they want me to die when I am the one who was murdered?"
"I won't die!"
"I won't die!"
Not only will she not die, she will also make those people pay the price!
Zhuang Hui took a deep breath and tightly grasped Su Tan's arm, "Master Su, please help me!"
"As long as you can help me find out the truth and avenge me, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Even if she dies, she will drag those who harmed her to hell with her!
Why was she the only one injured? Everyone should be doomed together!
Su Tan only asked: "Have you thought it through?"
"Are you sure you won't be the one who hurts me anymore? Are you sure you want to seek justice for yourself?"
Zhuang Hui nodded vigorously.
Yes, the days in the past when she had always helped others bully her were too hard, she never wanted to live like that again!
She hates it!
She is unwilling to accept it!
She just wants those who hurt her to go to hell!
Zhuang Hui gritted her teeth and said, "But before we do anything, I want to confirm one thing with you."
This matter troubled her and left her puzzled, and she had to get an answer.
Su Tan's eyes were clear and his expression was gentle. "Ask."
Zhuang Hui let out a breath.
Her fingers were still tightly clenched in her palms.
"I just want to know. I have no grudges against Yan Jin or the Xiao family. Why would they create such a big drama to harm me?"
She couldn't figure it out.
What was it about her that made this couple plot against her like this?
Su Tan's eyes fell on her face, and he told her the truth word by word, "Because Yan Jin covets you."
"He appears to be upright on the surface, but he's actually dark and selfish on the inside. He doesn't like the Xiao family and feels they're not good enough for him, so he's got his eye on you."
