Chapter 749 - 742: Ruthless Enough
Chapter 749: Chapter 742: Ruthless Enough
After the crowd dispersed, Sisi searched around again, but Wan Yun was still nowhere to be found, as if she had vanished into thin air.
Frowning, Sisi took one last look at the dark garden, deciding to give up searching for Wan Yun elsewhere, and left the garden with Mo Ye.
Under a cluster of evergreens in the garden, Wan Yun lay on the ground, stained with blood. In each hand, she held a rose, with blue veins bulging on the backs of her hands, and blood was trickling drop by drop from her fingers, resembling a blood centipede.
After the intercourse with the man, Wan Yun’s fever subsided a little, but she knew it was only temporary. She had to find a way to leave, as that little slut Sisi would certainly call someone over, and by then she would truly be beyond redemption.
When her body reached its first climax, Wan Yun gritted her teeth and grabbed at the roses. The sharp thorns tore into her palms, causing her to curl up in pain, but also granting her a brief moment of clarity.
Not letting the opportunity slip, Wan Yun forcefully pushed away the man working on her body and committed the faces of these two men to memory, secretly sentencing them to death in her heart.
Only a few seconds passed before her mind began to blur again, and the heat coursing through her body surged more violently than before.
Wan Yun arranged her clothes and cleaned up beneath her. She couldn’t let the Jin Family discover that she had been intimate with another man; she had to maintain the image of one who would Never Surrender to protect her chastity.
It must be said, Wan Yun was indeed a woman adept at mind tricks; even at such a time, she found the most advantageous angle for herself.
"Sisi, today’s humiliation, I will certainly repay it tenfold in the future!" Wan Yun lay on the ground, her face twisted, but the words she spoke were slurred and indistinct due to her severely injured tongue.
Sisi returned to the hall where the birthday banquet was at its height. Madam Xu, supported by several grandchildren, tremulously made her way to the stage to receive the blessings and congratulatory gifts from the guests.
Xu Jiaojiao’s husband, Brother Jin Qi, was also conspicuously on stage. His position was even more prominent than that of the Xu Family’s eldest grandson, showcasing how much the Xu Family was ingratiating themselves to the Jins!
Though who knows, after tonight, will Jin and Xu Families still get along as before?
Surely the Jin Family wouldn’t accept a daughter-in-law who had been sandwiched between two men, right?
Especially during their own grandmother’s birthday banquet!
Mr. Xu surveyed the venue, his brows furrowing as he asked his eldest son beside him, "Where is Jiaojiao? How come she hasn’t come over at such a time?"
The Eldest Son Xu, Xu Jiaojiao’s father, wiped the sweat off his forehead and respectfully replied, "Perhaps she’s with her sister-in-law. I just saw Jiaojiao a moment ago!"
Upon hearing she was with Wan Yun, Mr. Xu stopped inquiring further, but internally, his dissatisfaction with his heedless granddaughter was growing.
Had he known the eldest granddaughter was such a red-lacquered toilet, he might as well have had the second granddaughter marry instead!
It turns out, when the Jin and Xu Families were arranging the marriage, the Xu Family had two granddaughters of marriageable age: the Eldest Son’s daughter, Xu Jiaojiao, and Xu Laoer’s daughter, Xu Lulu. However, since Lu Lu wasn’t as attractive as Jiaojiao, he sent Jiaojiao to marry into the Jin Family, hoping her beautiful appearance would capture the men’s hearts.
But now it seems appearance is secondary. No matter how beautiful she is, don’t Jin Family men still seek affairs outside?
The key is intelligence!
Lu Lu is much more clever and capable than Jiaojiao!
If it had been Lu Lu who married over, the Xu Family could have further elevated their status!
The more Mr. Xu thought about it, the more he regretted, glaring fiercely at his eldest daughter-in-law. They say daughters take after their mothers, and thanks to this fool, her daughter turned out to be a fool too.
Brother Jin Qi stood impatiently on the stage; if not for his grandfather telling him, he wouldn’t have even wanted to come and pay respects!
He was utterly fed up!
After the congratulatory gifts were presented, guests began to take their leave, to the Xu Family’s great surprise. There was supposed to be a ball afterward, so why was everyone leaving?
The Xu Family pleaded for them to stay; how would it look to outsiders if they left immediately after presenting gifts?
What if people thought the Xu Family hosted banquets only to collect gifts?
However earnest the Xu Family’s pleas, the guests still departed cleanly, leaving the once lively hall suddenly cold and deserted.
Sisi and Mo Ye also took their leave, being among the last. Brother Meng brought the car around; he was now Mo Ye’s private bodyguard and driver. Brother Qiao had always stayed with He Xuewen, and with Qiong Wine’s allure, they both pledged their loyalty to the He Family and intended to stay for life.
Some guests ahead were visibly excited, with gossipy expressions on their faces, lowering their voices as they whispered about the romantic scandal in the garden.
The evening breeze carried snippets of conversation to Sisi’s ears, causing her to smirk. Those folks truly lived up to their gossiping nature; her effort to let them see the spectacle was not in vain. In no time, everyone knew!
Soon, perhaps all the Kyoto people would hear of it as well?
Mr. Xu’s face turned ashen as he surveyed the disarray in the living room. What the hell happened today? Everything was fine when they arrived; how did it all go south suddenly?
Did they take him for an old fool?
Excuses about business and illness?
All were damn excuses!
It’s one thing for one person to have an emergency, but how could everyone have emergencies?
No, something was off; something must have happened!
Mr. Xu, being an astute elder, quickly grasped the core of the problem after a brief consideration. He scanned the room again; Xu Jiaojiao was still missing, and so was Wan Yun.
Now things really seemed amiss; even if Jiaojiao was immature, she couldn’t possibly be missing for so long?
Especially not with the prudent Wan Yun accompanying her!
Now that the guests had all left, the Xu Mansion was eerily quiet.
"Ah!"
A woman’s scream faintly reached their ears, immediately followed by another, intensely captivating sound.
Only now did Brother Xu’s previously dull mind recall something he had overlooked.
Didn’t Sisi just come up to present a gift?
And no abnormality seemed to occur in the hall, right?
Something wasn’t right?
Did Sisi not fall victim to anything?
Then where did Jiaojiao go?
Brother Xu suddenly felt a wave of unease, his mind cleared up quickly, and he rushed toward the garden, followed closely by Brother Jin Qi.
Any man familiar with brothels could understand those two cries just now.
Conveniently, both Brother Xu and Brother Jin Qi were quite skilled in this area!
The rest of the Xu Family began to react as well, all swiftly following suit, leaving only the immobile Madam Xu alone in the hall, gazing at rows of festive gifts.
The old lady let out a sarcastic smile as she propped herself up on a cane and walked away with a steady clack.
Brother Jin Qi was the first to arrive at the scene, as Brother Xu’s body, long impaired by kidney trouble, couldn’t possibly outrun his brother-in-law, who was trained in the military.
Upon seeing the intertwined scene of two men and a woman beneath the roses, with the woman being his wife, Brother Jin Qi’s face darkened by three shades, merging with the night.
He was a veteran of the romantic scene and immediately understood that his wife had been trapped, but that didn’t matter. All he cared about was the outcome.
Whether it was voluntary or a setup was of no interest to him!
He only knew his woman was no longer clean!
