Chapter 2093: To kill the heart, it still has to be you

~7 min read 1,383 words

After finishing her sentence, Jiang Motian covered her face and began to "sob, sob, sob."

Meanwhile, the crowd felt deep loathing for Qi Fengyang's actions.

Some people even took out their phones to film him.

While dodging the cameras, Qi Fengyang glared viciously at Su Kexuan.

Seeing this, he noticed Su Kexuan reaching into her pocket.

He assumed Su Kexuan was about to pull out a phone to call someone to deal with him.

As it turned out...

The woman pulled out two hundred-yuan bills.

Su Kexuan even generously held the bills out: "Hardly anyone uses cash these days; this is all I have on me."

Qi Fengyang looked at the bills, then looked at Su Kexuan.

Then, he asked in disbelief: "Are you trying to brush me off with money?"

Qi Fengyang had guessed correctly.

Su Kexuan said: "Looking at how you're dressed like a human but acting like a dog, you must be struggling to get by if you're trying to target a woman to scrape up some cash."

This, this bitch! What kind of nonsense is she spouting!!

Qi Fengyang hadn't expected Su Kexuan to start slinging mud at him and twisting the truth; his face turned white with rage.

Under his cold, piercing gaze, Su Kexuan continued: "I'm not giving you money to humiliate you, but to make you remember that once you take certain money, you'll never be able to hold your head up again for the rest of your life."

Ha, and this isn't humiliation!?

Qi Fengyang clenched his palms tightly.

The rationality in his mind was also rapidly diminishing.

Yet the passersby around them were all praising Su Kexuan for having such class.

Amidst the chorus of praise, a sinister voice suddenly rang out: "Su Kexuan, today, I really must thank you!"

When Qi Fengyang said the word "thank," he was gritting his teeth.

It felt as if, in the next second, he might open his mouth and bite Su Kexuan's neck.

But the terrifying scene did not occur.

Qi Fengyang merely glared viciously at Su Kexuan before turning and leaving.

Seeing this, the people around them let out cheers of victory.

Jiang Motian rolled her eyes at Qi Fengyang's back, then began to thank the passersby for their righteous assistance.

Her little mouth was very sweet; with just a few words, she had the passersby beaming with joy.

Once the passersby dispersed, Jiang Motian gave Su Kexuan a thumbs-up: "To kill the heart, it still has to be you!"

Su Kexuan did not want to kill the heart.

She shook her wrist and muttered: "If there weren't so many people here, I would have beaten him until he was looking for his teeth all over the floor."

"Sigh, the enthusiastic passersby saved his life."

After muttering this, Jiang Motian turned serious and cautioned Su Kexuan: "This person is a bit sinister; you still need to be careful."

"Mm."

"Do you think... Sui Xin really committed suicide?"

"I'm not sure; we need to go to the Hospital to take a look."

"Then I'll arrange it."

Knowing that Su Kexuan's identity was sensitive, Jiang Motian volunteered to take on the task.

Who knew that just as her voice fell, her phone rang.

The call was from Xie Wanyi.

Jiang Motian answered with a smile, but her expression changed after hearing what the other party had to say.

"Alright, I understand. If there is any new information, let's stay in touch."

After saying this, Jiang Motian hung up the phone.

Then, with a slight frown, she said to Su Kexuan: "Sui Xin took sleeping pills yesterday and was sent to the Hospital for emergency treatment; she is still at the Hospital now."

So... the suicide is real?!

Su Kexuan darkened her gaze, her lips pressed tightly together.

In fact, even Qi Fengyang hadn't expected that Sui Xin would actually swallow that many sleeping pills.

When he came to confront Su Kexuan today, his feelings of anger were genuine.

Jiang Motian did not know this detail.

She continued to share the new information with Su Kexuan: "Sui Xin's current emotional state is not very stable, and her mother has also arrived."

"And her father?"

"Wanyi didn't say; he probably didn't come."

After saying this, Jiang Motian thought of something: "I remember Sui Xin saying that her relationship with her father wasn't very good, so... could this be a bitter-meat ploy?"

Su Kexuan could not provide an answer: "There is too little information right now; it's hard to analyze."

"Mm, that's true."

Jiang Motian was soft-hearted after all.

Thinking that Sui Xin had almost lost her life, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

After a soft sigh, she muttered: "Could it be that we really put too much pressure on her?"

"Rather than guessing blindly, it's better to arrange for someone to be by her side to scout for information."

"You can rest assured about that; Wanyi has already sent people to follow her."

"That's good."

Su Kexuan felt very reassured by the way Xie Wanyi handled things.

It was just that the expression on her face at this moment... was heavy with worry.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian reached out and waved her hand in front of her, then said, "Telling me not to overthink, yet you're the one thinking of this and that?"

Su Kexuan raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Motian.

She curled the corners of her lips and said, "Don't worry about me. Even if something really happened to Sui Xin, I wouldn't blame myself, because I don't think I did anything wrong."

"Exactly. Just because she can't get over it doesn't mean we should be labeled the ones at fault without rhyme or reason."

Jiang Motian said these words for Su Kexuan to hear, and also for herself to hear.

She wanted to remind herself not to feel guilty for no reason, and not to be held hostage by morality.

Jiang Motian silently gave herself psychological suggestions.

Then, she heard Su Kexuan say, "Let's stop talking about Sui Xin's matter; we have our own things to be busy with."

"Are you going back to the company?"

"Mm, the car happens to be parked over here, so I'm leaving first."

"Then be careful on the road."

Su Kexuan gave a response, then left with a carefree demeanor.

Judging from Su Kexuan's state at this moment, she had not been affected.

However, was she really not affected?

Jiang Motian pursed her lips, not knowing the answer.

After parting ways with Jiang Motian, Su Kexuan returned to the company and got busy.

Because it was temporary overtime, there were very few employees in the company.

When these employees saw Su Kexuan appear at the company, they were not surprised at all.

Entering the office, Su Kexuan contacted several employees and held an impromptu online meeting.

During the meeting, she shared the ideas Jiang Motian had given her with everyone.

The group brainstormed and discussed a new plan.

It wasn't until the new proposal was polished to near perfection that Su Kexuan ended the meeting to take a short break.

Once she relaxed, Su Kexuan felt a sharp pain in her temples.

She raised her hand to press on them, but it didn't provide any relief.

Su Kexuan took a long breath, then stood up and went to the pantry to brew a cup of coffee for herself.

The aroma of the coffee added a touch of warmth to the cold, indifferent pantry.

She held the coffee cup with both hands, looking out the glass window, and unconsciously thought of some things from the past.

And all sorts of memories proved that Su Kexuan was truly not a soft-hearted person.

It was also thanks to her heart of stone; otherwise... she wouldn't have made it to this day.

Su Kexuan stopped reminiscing.

She drank the coffee with a calm expression, the bitter taste spreading through her mouth.

On the other side, at the Hospital—

Xiaolin had been arranged by Xie Wanyi to stay at the Hospital to keep an eye on the latest situation regarding Sui Xin.

And Xie Wanyi had been busy with matters, only just arriving at the Hospital now.

At this moment, Xiaolin stood before Xie Wanyi and truthfully reported the news he had just received.
