Chapter 76: Settle the Account
I was not only worried about the strange looks I would receive from the outside world, I was even more worried about what would happen if my parents or Xu Zhengnan and the others saw the news...
When I thought of this, I became extremely nervous and my stomach felt very uncomfortable. I vomited for a while before I felt better.
When I returned to the living room, Shen Yixiao had already returned. Seeing my pale face, he felt so distressed that he took off his coat and ran straight to me. He hugged me tightly in his arms, "Wife, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well. I have sent people to suppress those messy news, and not many people will see it."
My mind was in a mess and I kept trying to figure out who had leaked this information.
Su Ying? Meng Zicheng? Liang Feng?
Or the doctor who treated me? The stranger I met in the hospital? The reporter following me?
After much thought, Su Ying is the most likely suspect, because she did the same thing in her previous life. Plus, she and I had already fallen out, so it was very normal for her to take revenge on me in anger.
"It's Su Ying, it must be her!" I suddenly said, my tone filled with anger.
"Su Ying? Why do you say that?" Shen Yixiao pushed me away, looked at my face, and asked unexpectedly.
I told him that Su Ying and I had broken up, and his expression became angry, with rage in his eyes, and he wished he could strangle Su Ying to death right now.
I didn't stop him, but chose to go with him to find Su Ying.
I know Su Ying's address best. When we arrived at her door, she was just about to go out. She opened the door while looking at something on her mobile phone with a smug smile on her lips.
When she saw me and Shen Yixiao, her face changed drastically, and she pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you two here? We are rare guests."
Shen Yixiao had a gloomy face, and I grabbed her phone. She was not prepared and was caught off guard, so I snatched the phone away from her.
In my previous life, she leaked all kinds of private matters between Shen Yixiao and I to the media, saying that it was for my own good and that she did so out of anxiety.
When she confessed to me, she told me how she sent out those things. Relying on my memory, I found a private photo album in her mobile phone and soon saw a medical record of mine. There were also updates on Weibo that she had posted in the past two days. It was a small account in which she posted that I was infertile.
Su Ying was terrified and tried desperately to snatch the phone back, but Shen Yixiao stopped her and she had no way to do anything.
"Su Ying, why are you doing this?" I asked, holding up my phone.
"Give my phone back to me!" Su Ying didn't explain, but just shouted excitedly with her neck red.
The next second, Shen Yixiao slapped her in the face, and she fell directly to the ground. A Five Finger Mountain immediately appeared on her face. Combined with the emotions on her face at this moment, she looked as if she had done something bad and was exposed and felt guilty.
I already had experience from my previous life, so I was mentally prepared because I knew she would explode sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so long in advance.
I used to be so open-hearted to her that I wanted to share everything with her, except Shen Yixiao.
No matter how she hurt me behind my back, I will believe her as long as she explains.
But my kindness and patience were only rewarded with repeated harm from others.
"You will pay for everything you do now." Shen Yixiao squatted down, stretched out his hand to pinch Su Ying's neck, and his fingers tightened. Su Ying's face turned the color of liver, which was very ugly.
I immediately stopped Shen Yixiao. Su Ying would definitely have to pay a price for what she did, but not with her life, otherwise Shen Yixiao and I would be implicated, which was not worth it.
Shen Yixiao let go of her hand. Su Ying gasped for air with a look of deep hatred towards me. "Bah! Li Yue, I treat you as a friend, but what do you treat me as? Since you want to break up with me, I certainly don't need to help you hide those secrets anymore. If it weren't for me, would you and Shen Yixiao be together? This is how you repay me, hehe."
Shen Yixiao's face was grim, he stood up and looked at her coldly, "Even without you, Li Yue would still be with me, you think too highly of yourself, trash."
The blood drained from Su Ying's face, and her eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness. She certainly felt bad being treated with such contempt and disgust by the person she had secretly loved for many years.
But she brought this upon herself.
I was too nice to her, making her forget that I also had a lot of evidence against her.
I didn't say anything more to Su Ying. I just wanted to make sure that it was her who did it.
When I was leaving, Su Ying suddenly shouted from behind me, "Li Yue, you are such an idiot, hahahaha, I'm waiting to see the show!"
The sarcasm and complacency in her words did not sound like someone who had just been slapped and nearly strangled to death.
I looked back at her. She stood up and was smiling at me sinisterly. When her eyes swept over Shen Yixiao, she showed a trace of fear and nervousness. She turned around and returned to her home, slamming the door.
Shen Yixiao held my hand and left there, but my heart felt empty, and I couldn't even identify what specific emotions I was feeling.
That night, I sent out some of Su Ying's secrets to get back at her in her own way.
Su Ying has a rather dark personality. She is vain and jealous. She likes to get a sense of accomplishment from bullying the weak. I once caught her abusing kittens and puppies. Although she explained that it was because of too much pressure, I still felt disgusted and nauseous. Out of our many years of friendship, I just took a few photos as evidence to ensure that she never did this again.
In order to atone for her sins, I even donated a lot of money to some stray animal rescue organizations on her behalf, hoping that the little creatures she killed could rest in peace.
I don't know if she will continue to commit these sins in the future. Now that I think about it, some things, once done, are already heinous crimes and should not be forgiven.
There are also cases of reselling fake paintings and passing inferior products off as good ones in the circle. I have evidence of all these messy things.
Her identity is different from mine, so she may not attract much attention, but it is enough to make her desperate in the circle.
After everything was arranged, I was a little exhausted and lay on the bed alone, staring at the lights on the ceiling. Shen Yixiao received a call from Director Li and asked to go out for dinner and discuss something. I didn't want to go so I stayed at home.
Just as I was numbly in a daze, my cell phone rang. After I picked it up and took a look, my almost dead heart suddenly beat heavily. A nervous feeling filled the air, and I seemed to be brought back to life by this emotion.
On WeChat, Xu Zhengnan’s avatar lit up, and it was a voice call from him.
I hesitated and didn't dare to answer it, and watched it become a missed call.
The next second, his message came: Answer the phone, otherwise I will contact Shen Yixiao directly.
I clenched the phone, took a deep breath, and called back.
