While calculating in his heart, Pei Yuan, upon hearing the name Su Mo and hearing the malicious words spoken next door towards Tang Ning, immediately raised his head in disbelief, his face filled with worry and astonishment, "Tang..."
He had barely begun to speak when Tang Ning, sitting beside him, immediately pressed her cool fingertips to his lips.
This action made Pei Yuan understand and quiet down. In the quiet private room, the conversation next door, which was not concealed at all, sounded particularly clear and jarring.
"I'm seducing her, just as you asked me to."
Su Mo's cold voice rang out, and Pei Yuan clearly saw Tang Ning's face turn pale suddenly, and even the fingertips that had been pressed against his lips and forgotten to be withdrawn trembled slightly.
If Tang Ning had harbored any doubts when she first heard Su Mo's name, now that she heard Su Mo's familiar voice, she had no more illusions.
"seduce?"
Xia Yang, who was in the next private room, immediately repeated it with disdain.
Yes, Xia Yang.
The moment Tang Ning heard the voice, she recognized it as none other than Xia Yang, Han Jun's friend, with whom she had dealt several times.
Even she hadn't expected that Su Mo and Xia Yang had known each other for a long time, and even...
Thinking of this, Tang Ning lowered her eyes slightly and pursed her lips.
"You should know that this is not what I want right now!"
Xia Yang tapped her knuckles lightly on the table of the coffee shop's private room. If she hadn't seen the "No Smoking" sign on the wall, she would have taken out her newly bought cigarettes from her bag, lit them, and taken a puff.
Recently, she tried everything to contact Han Jun but couldn't get through on the phone, no one replied to her WeChat messages, and she even found out that Han Jun had blocked her on WeChat Moments only after her friends saw her posts.
When faced with her best friend's mocking gaze, she was so angry she almost ground her back teeth to powder.
She truly couldn't understand why she had become such a terrifying figure in Han Jun's eyes. Clearly, when she first returned to the country, through her deliberate planning, he had gradually become attracted to her, and it was only a matter of time before he fell in love with her again.
Unfortunately, everything was arranged in Yun City. After Tang Ning caught the adulterer that night, she completely deviated from the right path.
Now, it has become that Han Jun is unable to obtain that woman and avoids her like the plague.
Xia Yang absolutely refused to believe that the woman surnamed Tang hadn't done anything wrong.
She believed the information she had gathered about that woman, which led her to make one mistake after another from the very beginning due to her underestimation of her, resulting in her current awkward situation. Moreover, she had been humiliated time and time again because of her. She couldn't swallow this insult without seeking revenge.
"I've said it several times, Su Mo, I advise you not to test my already dwindling patience. I want your bed photos with that Tang Ning, and of course, videos would be even better. And you can rest assured, I will make sure to blur your image before releasing any of those photos or videos."
Xia Yang lowered her voice and then chuckled softly.
"But with your shrewdness, once you've taken the photos or videos, you probably won't even show your face from beginning to end, so what are you still worried about?"
Xia Yang frowned, but her sharp gaze never left Su Mo's eyes.
When Xia Yang saw the fleeting rejection and dislike in the boy's eyes, an unbelievable thought slowly rose in her mind. She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Why aren't you saying anything? Su Mo, you wouldn't... have fallen for that woman surnamed Tang, would you?"
As soon as she tentatively uttered those words, she immediately noticed that Su Mo's pupils contracted slightly, and even the fingers on the table trembled slightly.
If Xia Yang's previous suspicions were only four or five points, Su Mo's reaction now almost completely confirmed her unfounded guess.
After a moment of silence, looking at Su Mo's face, Xia Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The louder and louder he laughed, the stranger his expression became. He almost laughed until tears streamed down his face. "Oh my god, oh my god, Su Mo, you can't be serious! A conman falling in love with his own target? If word got out, everyone would laugh their heads off! And..."
At this point, Xia Yang raised her finger and gently wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with mockery and sarcasm. "Su Mo, don't you ever look at yourself in the mirror? You're just a rotten worm that grew out of the mud, yet you dare to covet a rose blooming in the sunlight..."
"What did you say!"
As Xia Yang brutally tore open his own painful past, Su Mo clenched his fists and glared fiercely at her.
"What did I say? What's wrong? Did telling the truth hurt you?"
Xia Yang laughed freely, "How dare you like him? Aren't you afraid that woman surnamed Tang will find out about your dirty past, and that you only got together with him because of a deal between you and me?"
"Ha, aren't you afraid Han Jun will find out that you've been keeping backup boyfriends and stringing men along since junior high? What am I afraid of?"
Su Mo retorted, not to be outdone.
"you……"
Xia Yang pointed her finger at Su Mo in front of her, and after a long while, she slowly lowered it, then spread her hands again, "I'm not afraid, because I'm only after money. Unlike you, who's after people too. Tell me, you probably act like an innocent little white rabbit in front of Tang Ning. Do you dare to show her your true self? If I were to talk to her about your past now, do you think she would be interested?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo's eyes suddenly darkened.
Seeing the dangerous look in her eyes, Xia Yang curved her lips into a smile and leaned down. "Let me repeat my request: I want to get those photos of you and Tang Ning in bed as soon as possible. Since you're after her, you could have stayed by her side and tried to win her over after the photos were leaked, completely extricating yourself from the situation. But before that, I have a piece of advice for you: in this world, feelings are the most unreliable thing. Wouldn't it be better to take the rest of the money and live a carefree life with your sickly sister? Feelings are nothing compared to money, right?"
As she spoke, Xia Yang lightly patted Su Mo's cheek, but unexpectedly, he raised his hand and slapped her away.
With a sharp crack, Xia Yang recoiled in pain, looking at her reddened hand. A flash of anger crossed her eyes. "You ungrateful wretch!"
"Fine, I won't argue with you. Just remember our deal!"
Putting on sunglasses, Xia Yang turned around and opened the wooden door in front of them. Just as she was about to step out, she froze on the spot.
Inside the private room, Su Mo noticed that Xia Yang, who was standing next to him, had already opened the door but was still standing there like a wooden stake, not moving at all. He frowned and turned his head, directly meeting Tang Ning's cold and indifferent eyes, who was standing opposite Xia Yang.
With just one glance, Su Mo's mind went completely blank, and the color drained from his face in an instant.
He knew, he always knew...
They knew that sooner or later they would not be able to hide it and would be exposed.
But she never imagined that he would so completely and utterly expose all his despicable and shameless behavior to Tang Ning without any preparation.
He didn't even dare to think about how much Tang Ning had heard, when she appeared, or why she was there...
Looking at Tang Ning, who was both unfamiliar and familiar, Su Mo kept replaying the scenes of their time together in his mind from the night he came to Tang Ning for the job until a few hours ago, when Tang Ning smiled and told him that she would bring him a small gift from the amusement park.
He moved his lips, but he seemed to have aphasia, unable to utter a single word.
His hands were trembling violently, and no matter how hard he tried to control them, he couldn't.
"Tang..."
With a hoarse voice, Su Mo managed to utter a single word, only to see Tang Ning outside the door suddenly smile…
After laughing, she lifted her foot to walk out.
Seeing this, Su Mo immediately chased after her without a second thought. Because of his excessive movements, he even knocked over the things on the table to the ground. With the sound of things falling to the ground, Su Mo caught up with Tang Ning in a few steps and grabbed her wrist.
"Don't...go...I...I...I can explain, I can..."
Before Su Mo could finish speaking, Tang Ning raised her other hand and firmly pulled Su Mo's hand away, her eyes fixed on his.
Looking at Tang Ning like this, Su Mo was overwhelmed by fear. His eyes slowly reddened, and he clenched his teeth tightly, as if only in this way could he regain some strength.
"No matter what..."
Tang Ning's voice was a little hoarse, "I will always be grateful for your help in the past, otherwise I would never have gotten this far. I will also keep my promise to help Su Ya with her treatment, as a way of repaying you for saving my life. You saved my life, and I'll repay you with yours. From now on, we'll call it even. I don't owe you anything, and you don't need to feel guilty. Also, I'm giving you one day. I hope you can move out of my villa as soon as possible. If possible, I never want to see you again!"
After saying that, Tang Ning took Pei Yuan's hand and immediately walked into the car that the two of them had parked by the roadside.
As soon as she got in the car, Pei Yuan's apologetic voice rang in her ears, "Ningning, I'm sorry, if I hadn't suddenly had a hypoglycemic attack, you wouldn't have..."
Hearing this, Tang Ning quickly snapped out of her daze, turned to the man beside her, and forced a smile. "What are you saying? I'm the one who should apologize. Today's date was a complete mess, making your experience so unpleasant..."
"It's okay, I'm already happy just to be with you."
Pei Yuan gripped Tang Ning's hand tightly.
Feeling the strength in her hand, Tang Ning's tears finally began to subside. She stared intently at Pei Yuan in front of her and suddenly asked seriously, "So, would you lie to me?"
Upon hearing Tang Ning's sudden question, Pei Yuan paused slightly, and then heard her embarrassed explanation.
"I...I didn't mean that, it's just...it's just that the people around me, Han Jun is lying to me, Su Mo is lying to me, I really..."
Tang Ning began to doubt herself. Why did she always have to be deceived, deceived again and again? She treated them so sincerely, she almost wanted to tear her heart out and show it to them, so why did they still deceive her?
Seeing the suspicion in Tang Ning's eyes, Pei Yuan directly pulled Tang Ning's slightly cold fingers to his lips and kissed them lightly.
"No, I would never lie to you."
"Really?"
"certainly."
"Okay, then if you ever lie to me again, I'll punish you by making sure you can never find me again for the rest of your life..."
Tang Ning said with a smile.
Won't.
Pei Yuan said firmly in his heart that he would never let this possibility come to pass, because in front of Tang Ning, he could be a blind man named Shen Yin for his entire life, for his entire life.
Just then, Su Mo, who had finally snapped out of his daze after hearing Tang Ning's resolute words, hurriedly chased after her. But by the time he reached the roadside, Tang Ning's car had already started moving.
"That's enough, Su Mo. Judging from her appearance, there's no harm in you chasing after her..."
Xia Yang followed after him, and just as she put her hand on Su Mo's arm, she was shoved away violently. "Get out of here!"
She heard him growl like that, and then without hesitation, she chased after the car that had already driven away.
Caught off guard, Xia Yang was suddenly pushed and fell to the ground. Her delicate palms were scraped raw by the rough ground, bleeding profusely and causing her unbearable pain.
Everything is going wrong!
After returning to China, Xia Yang was overwhelmed by a series of setbacks, humiliations, and blows. She clenched her fist and slammed it into the ground, her eyes reddening.
She didn't understand why things were so unlucky for her; Han Jun was like this, and Su Mo was the same.
Just then, a handkerchief was suddenly handed to her. Xia Yang looked up hesitantly and met a pair of deep blue eyes.
"you……"
Before she could even speak, the man wearing black leather gloves politely extended his hand. "Beautiful lady, would you like me to help you up?"
The man's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.
Seeing this, Xia Yang, as if possessed, placed her hand in the man's politely extended hand.
Meanwhile, Su Mo continued to chase after Tang Ning's car.
Unfortunately, how could two legs possibly catch up with four wheels? He could only watch helplessly as the vehicle went further and further away, until it became so far away that he despaired...
Sure enough, a rat born in the gutter like him can't stand the sunlight.
Su Mo's tears suddenly fell, but his legs continued to follow mechanically. Even he himself didn't know what he was chasing; he just didn't want to stop.
However, due to his excessive distraction, as he passed a corner, a car sped by and knocked Su Mo, who was staring blankly at the ground.
Seeing this, the people in the car quickly got out. "Sir, are you...are you alright?"
People around them quickly gathered around.
Su Mo, who had fallen backward, raised his hand in a daze to wipe the blood seeping from his forehead, a glaring red.
Turning her head, she saw that Tang Ning's car had long since disappeared.
Su Mo silently got up from the ground, limping on one leg, but still slowly walked forward step by step...
The noise around me was incessant.
"Sir, sir, let me take you to the hospital... You're covered in blood..."
"You should go to the hospital... Being hit by a car is no small matter..."
"Exactly, it wouldn't be good if it caused any long-term effects!"
...
Su Mo ignored this and finally collapsed to the ground after walking a hundred meters, instantly startling a chorus of screams.
Amidst the chaos, Su Mo tried desperately to open her eyes, but eventually, she grew weary and closed them again, her breathing becoming lighter and lighter...
Tang... Ning...
Su Mo's current favorability rating: 94.
