Su Xingyu looked up at him, surprised that he would care about this? As time passed, she cared less: "Many people in this school don’t like me, those few are probably just playing pranks." At the beginning, despite entering a third-rate university, she didn’t let herself fall into despair. She attended classes diligently, scored high marks in exams, gained the favor and praise of the teachers, but also attracted the dislike of many classmates. She was often ostracized, faced with harsh words, but she was used to it. Lu Shifeng’s face turned cold: "What right do they have to dislike you?" His narrow, sharp eyes lightly swept over the disheveled people on the ground, exuding a menacing aura. The group of delinquents on the ground was scared out of their wits, and Diao Lianna couldn’t help but shout: "No, we didn’t target Su Xingyu because we dislike her! Someone paid us to do this! It’s not our fault! We’re just doing our job!" Su Xingyu was startled, paid to do it? She had no idea there was such an inside story. The rightful source is noᴠelfire.net She couldn’t help but ask Diao Lianna: "Back then, Xiaoyuan said you guys forced her to trick me into the nightclub, and it was your group that called the police accusing us of prostitution. Is there more to it?" Xiaoyuan was her roommate, a timid and quiet girl, and one of her few friends at university. That’s why she unsuspectingly went to the nightclub to deliver things for Xiaoyuan. Diao Lianna shook her head vigorously: "No! No! It was Su Xingqi! It was your sister Su Xingqi! She found us, paid us to ruin your reputation, insisted on branding you as a woman who sells herself, mingles with men! She even asked us to find ways to leak the information to Qin Mu, so he would misunderstand you, the deeper the misunderstanding, the more he would loathe you!" It was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. In that moment, Su Xingyu’s heart was filled with clarity. No wonder, before she even knew she was expelled from school, Qin Mu was already aware of it; and no wonder Qin Mu would say "Qiqi is so kind, always saying good things about you." Turns out, Su Xingqi was playing the role of the good person all along, while secretly putting all her effort into slandering her! The more those people smeared her name, the more it highlighted Su Xingqi’s innocence and purity, and made Su Xingyu seem shameless! No wonder Qin Mu ended up with Su Xingqi, no wonder he looked at her with such disgust! "Su Xingqi..." she muttered the name of her once sister, clenching her teeth. How many times had Su Xingqi framed her without her knowing? How naive was she before, thinking Su Xingqi was a good sister? Her hand was held. She looked up and saw Lu Shifeng. The man looked at her, his deep eyes hiding a murderous intent: "Leave it to me, everyone who has hurt you will pay the price." Her heart warmed, and she nodded. He held her hand, stepping over the scattered defeated foes, and walked out of the street full of food stalls, making two phone calls. The first call was to have his driver come to handle the aftermath, settling the accounts for the destroyed tables, chairs, and dishes at the crayfish shop; the second call was to Xie Jian, asking him to properly "take care" of the group who bullied Su Xingyu. After hanging up, he said to Su Xingyu: "Regarding Su Xingqi, wait a bit longer, it’s not the time yet." She was puzzled: "Not the time yet?" "She has framed you so many times, there are probably many hidden arrows you were unaware of," Lu Shifeng said, "Why bother arguing each and every point? Doesn’t she want fame and fortune? It’s simple, just watch her climb using all means. When she finally reaches the top, that will be when she falls heavily, with no chance to rise again, only then is despair truly felt." She now deeply felt that she must never offend this man, too terrifying. With his promise, Su Xingqi’s climb would be futile her whole life, no matter how high she climbs, this man would always see her as a jumping clown, calculating the moment to easily crush her. She sycophantically held his arm; she didn’t want to become another Su Xingqi. Lu Shifeng’s body subtly stiffened, this was the first time she took the initiative to hold him, her warm breath with a hint of sweetness brushed past his nose, making his heart flutter, a fire ignited in his lower abdomen. He withdrew his hand, quickly walking forward. Su Xingyu was left standing in place, surprised. Why, he doesn’t like being held? Seriously, they’re an old couple, why is he acting coy... Bah! Who’s an old couple with him! Tyrant! Madman! Feudal male chauvinist beast Shifeng! Her self-esteem hurt, she cursed him thoroughly in her heart, and didn’t chase after him, standing there sulking. Lu Shifeng walked briskly forward for a while, the cool breeze clearing his mind. Turning back, he saw his young wife hadn’t followed, so he returned to find her. He saw her standing under a streetlight, her little face angry, the dim yellow light casting a lonely aura. For some reason, his heart felt pricked by a fine needle, aching slightly. He strode forward, his face stern as he questioned her: "Why didn’t you come along?" "I...!" she raised her head in surprise, seeing him return before she knew it, and blurted out, "Didn’t you not want me anymore!" As soon as she said it, she felt like a complaining wife, then glared at him and turned away. She felt herself being forcefully pulled; before she could react, she saw a coldly handsome face drawing closer, closer... Suddenly, his thin lips covered hers, then he dominantly pried her mouth open, their lips and tongues intertwined, a storm ravaging the castle. "You... um..." she wanted to say something but her lips were blocked, unable to make a complete sound. She glared at him fiercely, but found he was too focused on the kiss, her gaze had zero impact. She struggled a few times, but stopped, her body gradually going limp in his arms, needing his support to barely stand. "Su Xingyu," finally, the long kiss ended, she heard his husky and dangerous voice, "You think you can seduce me and leave unscathed?" "Ah!" Feeling her body lifted, carried by him, she panicked, "I-I-I-I didn’t seduce you! Bastard beast! Put me down! When did I seduce you ahhhhhhhhhh——!" Unfortunately, Lu Shifeng ignored her completely, heading straight to the parked Bentley by the street. He was eager to take her home and "teach" her a lesson! Yet, Su Xingyu remained oblivious, striving to kick, hit him, moving around in his arms: "Bastard beast, put me down! So many people are watching! Is it embarrassing or not! Put me down ahhhhh——!" His eyes darkened, he decided against the car, directly turning into a nearby quiet grove. "Lu... Lu Shifeng..." Su Xingyu finally realized something was wrong, even her voice weakened.
