The next morning, Su Yu, who hadn't slept a wink all night, leaned against the sofa, her eyes slightly unfocused, staring blankly in the direction of the door.
At this moment, she had a layer of brown eyeshadow under her eyes, and because she hadn't removed her makeup all night, her face looked sallow due to excessive oiliness, completely unlike her usual radiant appearance.
"Good morning, Auntie."
As soon as Ling Mo walked down the stairs, he saw Su Yu, disheveled and unkempt, sitting on the sofa like a sculpture. He casually greeted her.
"Ling Mo, what's the deal with those photos?"
Su Yu slowly raised her head and looked at Ling Mo, who was wearing a school uniform and had a bright smile like the spring sunshine. She questioned her in an unfriendly tone.
"Which set of photos are you referring to, Auntie? I have more than just one set. There are photos of Auntie and Mr. Li from Guanghua Industry having an affair, photos of Auntie exchanging glances with your charlatan cousin who's currently in prison, and then there are photos of Auntie being beaten black and blue by Dad and kneeling down begging for mercy..."
"Don't play dumb with me!"
Enraged, Su Yu threw the obedient teddy bear in her arms to the ground, glared fiercely at Ling Mo as if she wanted to devour her alive, and questioned her harshly:
"Are you trying to use the same trick as seven years ago, to make me miscarry? Let me tell you, no way!"
"Seven years ago, did I really upset you so much that you miscarried? The day before you miscarried, I saw Aunt Wu throw your blood-stained pajama bottoms into the trash can outside the iron gate when no one was around. At that time, I didn't even understand what menstruation was. Now that I think about it, I find it very strange. You were on your period the day before yesterday, so you obviously weren't pregnant. How could you miscarry the next day?"
"Nonsense! These days, the cost of spreading rumors is really low. You can just spout nonsense without even asking. Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Su Yu's dark pupils contracted violently as if in an earthquake. To cover up her guilty conscience, she deliberately raised her voice to show her confidence.
"Auntie, that's really funny. Doesn't she know who made the rumor and who spread it? She's crying wolf, it's utterly ridiculous."
Ling Mo gracefully sat down at the dining table, slowly eating his breakfast, too lazy to pay any more attention to Su Yu.
Sitting silently opposite Ling Mo, Ling Tian glanced displeasedly at Su Yu, who was yelling like a shrew, and frowned imperceptibly.
Whenever she lost control of her emotions, Su Yu would patiently advise her to maintain her elegant and sophisticated socialite persona no matter when or where.
Only by maintaining a stable socialite persona can one firmly capture the hearts of men who come seeking her out.
She originally thought Su Yu was a calm and collected person, but she didn't expect that he would make such a ridiculous scene of losing his composure when he encountered a tricky situation, making himself a laughing stock for no reason.
Su Yu was furious and didn't care about her image at all. She rushed forward and tried to grab Hua Lingmo's pretty face.
She had long disliked Ling Mo, especially his stunningly handsome face.
Anyway, she's pregnant now, so even if Ling Mo's appearance is ruined, Ling Yunlong can't really do anything to her.
Ling Mo glanced sideways at the aggressive Su Yu, a wicked smile suddenly curving his lips. Though his smile was radiant, his voice was as cold as frost.
"Auntie, are you trying to get yourself into a corner? Let me warn you, if you dare take another step forward, I won't hesitate to twist your fragile forearms into nunchucks."
"you..."
After Ling Mo guessed Su Yu's thoughts, Su Yu's face inevitably turned awkward, and she stood there for a long time without daring to step forward.
"Making a racket so early in the morning, what kind of behavior is this?" Ling Yunlong had just stepped into the house when he heard Su Yu's shrill voice and scolded her in displeasure.
"You have the nerve to scold me after staying out all night? Ling Yunlong, tell me, where did you go gallivanting last night?"
Su Yu glanced at Ling Yunlong's refreshed and satisfied appearance, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew that Ling Yunlong had indeed gone out for a good time last night.
Thinking that she had waited for him all night while he was comfortably having sex with another woman, Su Yu could no longer bear the grievances in her heart. She grabbed the milk glass on the table and threw it at Ling Yunlong without thinking.
Ling Yunlong hadn't expected that the usually gentle Su Yu would have such a willful side. After being splashed with milk, the gentle smile on her face shattered with the sound of the milk cup hitting the ground.
"shrew!"
His face was grim, and he cursed through gritted teeth.
If Su Yu hadn't been pregnant, his clenched fist would probably have already smashed into her brow bone.
"Ling Yunlong, can't you be reasonable? If you hadn't stayed out all night and been fooling around outside, why would I be angry with you? Last night, you slapped me in front of so many people, and I could forgive you for that, but you can't forgive me for cheating!" Su Yu's chest heaved violently, and her bloodshot eyes showed not only anger but also sadness and exhaustion.
"You should figure out how you secured your position as the matriarch of the Ling family before you talk to me about infidelity, okay? Back then, you used every trick in the book to force me to cheat on you in order to marry into the Ling family."
Ling Yunlong was easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force. Before stepping into the house, he had prepared a story to deal with Su Yu's questioning.
Seeing Su Yu's aggressive attitude, his suppressed anger erupted once again.
"you..."
Su Yu was rendered speechless by Ling Yunlong's retort, and two lines of tears suddenly welled up in her dull eyes.
"You're so old, why are you still crying?"
Ling Yunlong had just sent the young, beautiful, and gentle Xie Xiao'ai back to school, and his mind was still filled with the innocent kiss she had given him on the cheek. Now, seeing Su Yu, who looked pale and was crying, he naturally had no patience to comfort her.
