Chapter 169: I don't care about him
What Jing Lihua said was true.
Not only for Su Lanfan but also for herself.
Jing Lihua had once been a spoiled brat, ignorant, obsessive ad repeating the same mistakes again and again. But through mistakes, she learned. She suffered but in the end, she rectified her behavior and made amends.
However, Su Lanfan was repeating the same mistakes again...
After stepping back being intimidated by the cold woman before her, Su Lanfan's face burned in anger. "Jing Lihua... Are you threatening me?" She was here to teach this vixen a lesson, not to be intimidated by her instead!
Too bad, she couldn't use the people around her.
Because, if she did, they would inform her father.
In the end, she would be called back.
Su Lanfna had no means but to rely upon herself.
But, relying upon herself, the best she could come up with was just her words.
"Threatening you, huh?" Jing Lihua's eyes were shrouded in indifference. Her cherry red lips curled up into a sneer. She raised her hand and grabbed Su Lanfan chin "Such a pretty face you have here... What is your aspiration? To become a Top Model or something? I wonder whether you would be able to reach your goals if this face of yours is ruined..."
Su Lanfan was shaken.
Jing Lihua casually took back her hand. Taking out a wet tissue paper she had grabbed from the table earlier, she wiped her hand clean and carelessly threw away the tissue paper in the bin.
"This is..." The reception lady watched while trembling.
That Miss Su was a direct descendant of the Elder Su.
During the last couple of months, every staff member had been terrorized by her.
They had to run errands for her, meeting whatever unreasonable demands she would come up to keep her placated.
A slight mistake and Su Lanfan would blow into a violent fit.
None of the staff members dared to breathe loud in her presence and now this woman Mr. Su brought actually... humiliated her?
Although there was a slight joy in the receptionist's heart when Jing Lihua suppressed that bad-tempered Miss from Su family, it was widely overshadowed by fear.
Su Lanfan was turning redder by the moment. "Jing Lihua, what is the meaning behind your words? Are you openly threatening me now? Aren't you greatly undermining the 'Su' family influence? Do you think you can easily harm me?"
"Su family this, Su family that,... Su Lanfan, aren't you tired of always bringing up your 'Su' family to prove your worth?" Jing Lihua's nonchalance was a stark contrast to Su Lanfan's agitated state. "Even if you are not getting tired, I am. So please spare me. I will tell you thi
s once and for all. 'I am not a bit scared of your 'Su' family.'"
Su Lanfan sneered. "Is this because you think cousin would protect you—"
"You are again mistaken. I do not need to get protection from someone."
Su Lanfan was speechless. She felt like this Jing Lihua seemed to be a bit different from the last time she had met her. It was as if, as time grew, she was getting more fearless.
True...
Now that Jing Lihua had Li Zhiqiang by her side, she didn't need to fear anything.
That treacherous man took advantage of her in her own office so why would it be bad if she took advantage of him?
In any case, if the Su family blew things up, she would borrow his name to force them to retreat!
Jing Lihua sighed. "I know what you are thinking. Let me tell you this one more thing. Since you have a habit of repeating things... I also don't care what your great cousin, Su Liwei, thinks about me or whatever relationship is between him and me. So please don't keep on repeating the same words to get on me; honestly, it gets annoying."
"You...!" Su Lanfan's eyes widened.
Before her marriage, wasn't this Jing Lihua used to be crazy about him?
How could she suddenly declare she didn't care about him anymore?
Jing Lihua naturally wouldn't wait for Su Lanfan to break out of her stupor and come up with more 'futile' attempts to unnerve her. So with a light scoff, she walked past her.
When she was gone, Su Lanfan kept tooted to her spot for a long time.
Glancing up, she saw the terrified look on the receptionist's face.
"What the f**k are you staring at? Mind your own business!" Saying aloud, she turned around and stomped away in anger.
Only once the two were gone, the receptionist dared to take a breath in relief. "That was so close... So intense! My luck is so bad today, I might as well apply for a few days of holidays—" The receptionist had just sagged her shoulders and relaxed her body a bit when the next moment, she subconsciously looked up and froze.
Up at the balcony, a man was standing.
And who could it be other than Mr. Su?
However, what scared the receptionist wasn't the identity of the man but the terrifyingly cold look he had on his face. Not only that, in his hands there was shattered vine glass. The sharp edges pierced his hands and blood trickled down.
The red vine and blood mixed together and it was difficult to differentiate.
'What?'
'Had Mr. Su been here all along?'
'Then why did he not interfere?'
'Wait... But whom side he should have taken? H
is cousin or his wife...'
'No, that's not important. Just now Ms. Jing said she didn't care about him, so did Mr. Su hear that?'
'Of course, he heard that!'
'If he heard that, he must be angry. Which man would want his wife to say 'she didn't care about the relationship between them'. Also, I heard from rumors that the couple was in bad terms. But openly saying it in front of a third party, Mr. Su must be very angry.'
'Wait... did he shatter the vine glass in anger?'
Before the receptionist could ask him whether she should call a doctor to nurse his wound, he had already turned around and left.
