Chapter 18: What Does It Feel Like to Be Slapped in the Face?

Fu Jin had his thoughts sorted, he glanced at Su Yuqing and did not say anything else for the moment.

The contract signing can come later.

However, there was another matter, "The Jiang Family is still trying to suppress you relentlessly, They probably already know about your contract with Chengtian, and though they're wary, I reckon they won't let things go easily. What's your plan?"

The Jiang Family was a match for the Su Family, and though they fell short compared to the He Family, that didn't mean they would just swallow their pride.

Given the chance, they would definitely seek revenge.

Su Yuqing's lips curved into a smirk, "Of course, I'll continue. Didn't the Jiang Family deny everything, claiming the photos were photoshopped? I might as well keep selling the video to Jiang Group's competitors."

The reason for not going straight to the media influencers was that the Jiang's were still to be feared, who knew if they would turn around and sell the video for a higher price.

"I've already sold it," Fu Jin laughed.

Su Yuqing truly was one to hold grudges.

"..." Then why ask me?

"But Jiang Chenan was your fiancé, aren't you concerned at all?"

"What fiancé? He's not worthy." Su Yuqing scoffed.

Noticing He Suyan looking over, she met his gaze without dodging it, "Does God He have any advice?"

"No, he's not good enough for you." He Suyan's lips curved slightly.

"Haha, exactly."

Su Yuqing smiled and looked out of the window at the rapidly receding traffic, her eyes deep with thought.

If Jiang Chenan looked down on her, why did he get engaged to her?

It's another bad debt when you think about it. The Su Family had a collaboration project with the Jiang Family and planned a marriage alliance, but Su Chengxi was on the rise in her career, and there were better prospects available.

So, they pushed Su Yuqing forward instead.

As for Jiang Chenan, his heart was set on Su Chengxi; in his eyes, Su Yuqing was overbearing and unreasonable, stealing the chance to get engaged to him, whereas the aggrieved one was Su Chengxi.

Therefore, he didn't attend the engagement ceremony on the day.

He went straight to Su Chengxi's film set to visit.

Su Yuqing became the butt of the joke, and once the collaboration project was settled, the Jiang Family naturally valued Su Chengxi, the true lady of a distinguished family, over Su Yuqing, the stepdaughter of the Su Family.

Thus, the matter was left unresolved.

As for Su Yuqing, nobody cared about her.

Even her own mother told her not to be jealous, always reminding her that without the Su Family, she wouldn't be where she was today.

Fu Jin and He Suyan both noticed the change in Su Yuqing's emotions. They exchanged a look but didn't ask any further questions.

...

Around twelve o'clock, the car arrived at Nanan New City, Su Yuqing took her luggage from the driver and said to He Suyan, "I'm going in first, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

She waved her hand and entered the residential complex with her luggage in tow, to Block Six, Floor Thirteen, Apartment No. 2.

She took the elevator up, entered the password to open the door, glanced over the house, which was a standard two-bedroom and one-living room apartment with cozy and simple decor, ready for immediate move-in.

She put the suitcase in the master bedroom, changed the door's password, then started to tidy up the room.

She wasn't in a hurry to go to the Su Family's place.

Over at the Su's, the family was counting the minutes for Su Yuqing's return and grew agitated when she didn't show up as expected.

Their calls went unanswered, so they had no choice but to wait.

The house was clean, and Su Yuqing quickly got everything organized. She checked the time; it was just past two.

She took a shower, changed her clothes, and went out to fill her stomach before calling a cab to the Su Family's home.

...

"Second Miss is back!" The servant opened the door and sighed with relief upon seeing Su Yuqing at the doorway.

The atmosphere at home was rather tense today.

Su Yuqing nodded, not bothering to change her shoes as she walked right in.

"Second Miss, you haven't changed your shoes..."

"Really typical of someone from a small family, no manners whatsoever." Just as she stepped forward, a disgusted voice rang out.

Old Madam Su?

She was here too? Su Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Mm-hmm, my mom went to discipline some other wild child, so does that mean I'm now without manners?"

"You..."

"Su Yuqing!" Ou Yulan suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Disrespectful and spoiled, that's what you've become!"

Apart from Old Madam Su and Ou Yulan, only Su Chengxi was in the house.

At this time, Su Jingting and Su Huai were at the company, and who knows where Su Jinglin was, probably in some gentle township.

"Sister, if you have any resentment towards me, take it out on me, Grandma and Mom are just concerned about you." Su Chengxi always wore a mask at home.

"Do you want such concern?" Su Yuqing scoffed.

"Just a bastard child, after soaring to the branch to become a phoenix you still don't know how to be grateful, an ungrateful creature," Old Madam Su looked at Su Yuqing with disdain.

Not a single person in the Su family had ever shown kindness to Su Yuqing.

"Yes, my mom has gone to nurture someone else's bastard child as well."

"Su Yuqing! It seems I have been too indulgent towards you!" Ou Yulan's face darkened once more.

She approached with a livid face, "Aren't you going to apologize to your grandma?"

Her hand was raised, and a slap was about to come down.

Coldness flashed in Su Yuqing's eyes; such slaps were all too common in her life.

"Smack!" At the crucial moment, Su Yuqing caught Ou Yulan's hand with her left and fiercely slapped her back with her right.

One slap, and the scene went as quiet as chickens.

The servants were stunned!

After her initial shock, Su Chengxi regained her composure, "Sister, how can you hit Mom? She's your biological mother!"

"Is she? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought she was your biological mom," Su Yuqing said as she shook her hand leisurely.

Facing the incredulous Ou Yulan, "Madam Ou, how does it feel to be slapped?"

"You're not Su Yuqing, who are you?!" Ou Yulan gritted her teeth, Su Yuqing definitely didn't have the audacity to be defiant and disrespectful.

"Doubting me just because I fight back?" Su Yuqing sneered disdainfully, "Su family's fine rules, apparently I can only wait to be hit..."

Her voice trailed off, and the next moment, she dashed to Su Chengxi and, amid her shocked gaze, she delivered a slap.

The clear sound of the slap echoed, as if the entire villa could hear the reverberation.

"You wretched girl, she's your sister! How dare you!" Old Madam Su was so angry her complexion turned ashen.

Su Chengxi's face felt ablaze. As she came to her senses, she instinctively went to hit Su Yuqing back.

Caught by Su Yuqing, who then slapped her again, "You should have expected this day when you pushed your own sister into the sea, you murderer!"

"Su Yuqing, don't talk nonsense!" Overcoming the pain on her own face, Ou Yulan rushed over to pull Su Yuqing's hand.

As she approached, Su Yuqing threw Su Chengxi to the ground and grabbed her hair, forcing her to look up, "Move another step and I'll strangle her."

Ou Yulan halted abruptly in her tracks.

"What do you want to do? Rebelling! Rebellion!" Old Madam Su hammered her chest in a rage.

"This video, looks familiar, doesn't it?"

Su Yuqing pulled out her phone with one hand, opening the video clearly capturing Su Chengxi pushing her.

After watching, the colors drained from the faces of the three women.

Not interested in watching their faces change, Su Yuqing spoke, "I've already informed He Suyan on my way here, if I don't leave this place tonight, I will use this video to call the police."

"Su Yuqing, you..."
