Lin Xuan said, "That day, to surprise my father, I placed the flowers I had grown for months outside. I arranged them to spell out 'Happy Birthday.' Then you showed up."
"You pulled out each flower one by one, stomped on them with your feet, and even threw the cake you were holding onto the ground, forcing me to kneel and lick it up."
Lin Xuan recounted all this calmly.
Shen Qianqian's pupils dilated in shock.
This... wasn't this what she had done to the servant's son?
Could it be that Lin Xuan was that dirty, ragged boy?
How could that be?
Back then, he was dressed in patched clothes, with worn-out shoes. How could he possibly be the young master of the Lin Family?
If Lin Xuan was really him, then he must hate her. What should she do now?
"You threatened me, saying you'd tell my parents that I bullied you if I refused."
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.
At that time, he cared so much about the Lin Family. He was afraid his parents would misunderstand him, making them dislike him even more.
Besides, it was Lin Chang's birthday party, and everyone was in high spirits. He didn't want to ruin the mood for his parents and sisters.
So, he agreed.
He knelt on the ground and licked up the cake.
"While I was eating the cake, you climbed onto my back, holding a stick, and treated me like a horse. If I slowed down even a little, you'd hit me with the stick."
Lin Xuan continued to recount everything Shen Qianqian had done to him, his tone still calm.
"The second time we met was on a cold winter day. You deliberately dropped your jade pendant into the lake and made me retrieve it."
He spent two whole hours searching the lake before finally finding the pendant.
As a result, he fell seriously ill.
With no one to take care of him, he just took some cold medicine and toughed it out.
Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan, biting her lip.
Ah Xuan had gone through so much. Besides what he mentioned, how much more suffering had he endured as a child?
Su Hua's heart ached with a dense, piercing pain.
At this moment, she completely forgot that she had suffered even more than Lin Xuan, facing life-threatening dangers.
"Lin Xuan, I'm sorry," Shen Qianqian said, her face pale. "I didn't know it was you. I thought you were just the servant's son."
"If I had known it was you, I would never have treated you that way."
"Lin Xuan, please don't blame me, okay? I really didn't mean it."
Lin Xuan coldly looked at Shen Qianqian. "So, Shen Qianqian, I could never like you. The only person I will ever love in this lifetime is Hua Bao. You should give up."
"If you dare do anything to Hua Bao, Shen Qianqian, I'll kill you."
Lin Xuan's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Lin Xuan..." Shen Qianqian's mind was in a daze.
She never imagined that the boy she had bullied would turn out to be the man she would fall in love with.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, Lin Xuan. Give me a chance to make it up to you, please?" Shen Qianqian pleaded.
Lin Xuan ignored her and walked over to Su Hua. "Hua Bao, let's go."
When facing Su Hua, the coldness in Lin Xuan's demeanor vanished, replaced only by tenderness.
"Okay," Su Hua nodded.
Lin Xuan wrapped his arm around Su Hua.
Shen Qianqian stood there, her face still pale. As they passed by her, she suddenly shouted, "Lin Xuan, can you really tolerate this woman cheating on you? Do you love her that much?"
Lin Xuan paused. "Hua Bao didn't cheat. That man is just her subordinate. But you're right about one thing—I do love Hua Bao very much."
Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Xuan, heartbroken.
As Jiang Qing passed by Shen Qianqian, she shook her head.
To be honest, Shen Qianqian had always been coveting Young Master Lin. Previously, President Su had only given her a small punishment—well, not exactly small, since she had already ordered the Shen Family's downfall, just in a more subtle way.
If Shen Qianqian had turned back, the Shen Family might still have had a place in Yundu City.
But now, Shen Qianqian had crossed President Su's bottom line. The Shen Family and Shen Qianqian were done for.
Jiang Qing didn't pay Shen Qianqian any more attention and followed Su Hua as they left.
"Qianqian, are you okay?" Zhang Li hadn't dared to approach earlier. Only after everyone had left did she step forward to comfort Shen Qianqian.
She used a tissue to wipe the water stains from Shen Qianqian's face.
"Qianqian, don't be sad. With your looks and background, you can find any man you want," Zhang Li consoled her.
Besides, as a woman's intuition told her, the "vixen" Shen Qianqian mentioned wasn't simple.
Those men dressed as bodyguards and that woman in a sharp business suit seemed to be with her.
With such an entourage, how could her identity be ordinary?
Even Shen Qianqian didn't have that kind of presence.
"No, I won't give up," Shen Qianqian said through gritted teeth. "I will never give up on Lin Xuan, and I won't lose to that vixen!"
"I, Shen Qianqian, have never failed to get what I want."
She was determined to take Lin Xuan away from that woman!
As for the way she had treated Lin Xuan when they were kids, that was so long ago.
Lin Xuan couldn't possibly hold a grudge over something that happened so long ago. His words were just excuses to reject her.
Shen Qianqian used every possible reason to convince herself that she still had a chance with Lin Xuan.
"Lili, just wait and see. Lin Xuan will be with me in the end."
No matter what, she had to have Lin Xuan!
Shen Qianqian clenched her fists.
First, she had to deal with that woman.
She couldn't wait any longer.
She needed her father to send people to help her immediately!
She would ruin that vixen's face!
She would make her suffer at the hands of countless men, turning her into a disgrace!
A sinister glint flashed in Shen Qianqian's eyes.
Since she was a child, no one who had crossed her had ever ended well!
Lin Xuan and Su Hua bought new clothes at a nearby boutique. After Su Hua changed, they returned to the car.
Su Hua pursed her lips and said, "Ah Xuan, give me your hand."
Lin Xuan was puzzled. "My hand?"
He complied, offering his left hand to Su Hua.
Su Hua said, "The other one."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Xuan extended his right hand, and without a word, Su Hua took out an alcohol wipe and meticulously cleaned his hand.
Lin Xuan was even more confused.
Was his hand that dirty?
"Ah Xuan, you can't just touch other women casually from now on," Su Hua said, her lips pressed together.
Lin Xuan suddenly understood.
So Hua Bao was jealous, even though he had only touched Shen Qianqian to block her slap.
The way a yandere gets jealous is truly different from other women.
"Okay, I won't," Lin Xuan nodded.
Su Hua wiped his hand several times, making sure the scent of Shen Qianqian was completely gone before she finally stopped.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints.
