She replied, “Thank you, Professor Zhao . I’m fine . ”
Su Yue was unaffected by his mention of that incident . Vexed, Zhao Zheng continued, “Those people went overboard, so don’t take it to heart . See how much your third sister-in-law dotes on you? Those who aren’t even illegitimate daughters might not be as blissful as you . ”
This time, he intentionally used the words ‘illegitimate daughter’ .
He had heard that the little lass was so affected by the rumors that she disappeared for an entire afternoon, giving Yan Rusheng and his gang the fright of their lives .
Su Yue remained expressionless . “Exactly . ”
She then turned around to leave .
Zhao Zheng smiled and added, “So you shouldn’t take it to heart . ”
Su Yue stopped in her tracks and smiled coldly at Zhao Zheng . “Professor Zhao, where did you get the guts to chase my third sister-in-law?”
The smile on his face went stiff . He froze and his expression fell .
“Compared to my Third Brother, you’re ugly, poor, and short,” Su Yue said with a condescending smile .
Without waiting for his reply, she bounded for the East Gate .
No matter how dim-witted she was, she could still tell that Zhao Zheng was exasperating her on purpose . He had mentioned the words ‘illegitimate daughter’ on purpose—why shouldn’t she scold him?
He wasn’t as good looking as her Third Brother, what more, he was such a nuisance . She didn’t want to talk to him, but he insisted on striking up a conversation .
Nuisance, nuisance, nuisance .
Zhao Zheng almost spouted blood . His face turned red, then went cold .
This little lass, she was a replica of Yan Rusheng—proud, conceited and disrespectful .
‘Hmph!’
When Bai Jing returned home, Lei Yong pulled her into a room . He threw her a pale pink gown . “Since you couldn’t win Miss Su over, you have to behave well today . President Chen will be there as well . ”
The gown hit her and she shivered . She didn’t grab it so it fell to the floor .
Lei Yong frowned and gritted his teeth . He glared at her, asking, “What? You’re unwilling?”
Bai Jing clenched her fists, glaring at Lei Yong with hatred . “Why should I listen to you?”
Lei Yong roared . “Because you stepped through the doors of the Lei household . The moment you returned home with your mother, you became a part of the Lei family . It’s only right that you contribute . ”
He then pointed at Bai Jing, his eyes widening even more . “Bai Jing, I’m warning you . This will be the last time you’re talking back to me . ”
Bai Jing remained adamant . “I don’t want to go . Why must I help your family?”
She felt indignant . Her father raised her for 18 years . Why did she have to sacrifice for someone else’s gain?
Seeing Bai Jing’s stubbornness, Lei Yong seethed with anger . “Feisty now, aren’t you?”
He stretched and grabbed Bai Jing by the neck . Bai Jing’s eyes widened and she felt death grip her .
Immediately, Lei Yong lowered his head and smashed his lips over hers .
Bai Jing felt like puking from disgust . She tried to push Lei Yong away desperately but to no avail .
“Aren’t you acting pure?” Lei Yong asked, gritting his teeth as he ripped her clothes .
Bai Jing shrieked in fear . “Ahh… Don’t… Don’t…”
She shook her head desperately, her tears flowing in fright .
Then the door knocked open from the outside . “Stop!”
A tall and slim woman walked in and witnessed Lei Yong’s actions . Without hesitation, she took off her shoes and hit him with them . “You shameless scoundrel . How dare you do this to Xiaojing . ”
