Chapter 17: A Big Green Hat
After capturing the old hag.
Ye Xiao and Su Ruoxue handed over the villa’s surveillance footage to the police, along with the receipts for the missing jewelry and accessories that could still be found.
The police didn’t bother Su Ruoxue too much after that.
Though the incident of catching a cheater turned into a farce, photos of the wife of President Gu still made the front page of Binhai City’s Evening News.
The police briefly recorded a statement, assessed the damages, and then took the old woman away.
According to the police, the old woman wasn’t stealing because of life hardships, education, or urgent medical needs.
She didn’t return the stolen goods before being caught, and without Su Ruoxue’s forgiveness, the pile of receipts representing over a million yuan in stolen items was enough to get her sentenced to more than ten or twenty years in prison.
If Su Ruoxue wanted to pursue the matter further, a life sentence wasn’t out of the question.
“Ye Xiao, I really have to thank you for this,” Su Ruoxue said.
If not for Ye Xiao, she would never have known what kind of person Aunt Wang really was. If she had allowed Aunt Wang to stay by her side any longer, who knows what trouble might have come.
In the end, being taken away by the police was the result of Aunt Wang’s greed and was a punishment she deserved.
“Fishy Sister, your ability to judge people is just as bad as a miscellaneous fish~ But luckily, I was here!” Ye Xiao boasted, patting her not-so-prominent chest with a proud look.
At this moment, Su Ruoxue was utterly lost, confused about her life and future. She had thought that her life would be about being a devoted wife and mother, spending her future with Gu Tingyuan.
But nothing had unfolded as she had imagined.
The reason Su Ruoxue came to see Ye Xiao two days after the cheating incident was because she had been conducting her own investigation into Gu Tingyuan and their marriage.
Although she found no evidence of Gu Tingyuan cheating, she discovered a clue about the sudden crisis that hit the Su Group three years ago. It seemed that the Su Group’s financial troubles were connected to the Gu family.
When Su Ruoxue first uncovered this, she didn’t want to believe it. But when she confronted her parents with the evidence, her father, Su Chongshan, avoided answering directly.
Telling her instead that since she was already married to Gu Tingyuan, she should just live her life with him.
Everyone could see how Gu Tingyuan had treated Su Ruoxue over the years. Her father didn’t want the truth from back then to affect her marriage.
Before coming to see Ye Xiao, Su Ruoxue had already looked at Ye Youran’s photo, who bore a 70% resemblance to her. Everything was clear without needing to be said.
Although her father didn’t give her an answer, his reaction had already revealed the truth to Su Ruoxue.
Even though she understood that her father might have been acting in her best interest, hoping for her happiness, this only made Su Ruoxue feel even colder inside.
Today, she had asked Ye Xiao out to confirm the truth once more. But the incident with Aunt Wang dealt her another heavy blow, leaving her feeling even more lost.
“Sister Ruoxue, you really are a helpless little fish, aren’t you? Who is that sad expression for? You’re a grown adult, but your emotional resilience is still so weak! If they all want to see you fail and suffer, are you really going to admit defeat and prove them right? Are you really going to accept being a worthless failure? This version of you is really detestable and disgusting!”
Ye Xiao, standing on the sofa, looked down at Su Ruoxue with narrowed eyes and a teasing smile. Despite her harsh tone and biting words, to Su Ruoxue, it felt as soft and comforting as a gentle whisper.
That’s right. If she gave up now, wouldn’t that be giving those who wanted to see her miserable exactly what they wanted?
Gu Tingyuan didn’t love her, he had only ever treated her as a replacement.
Ye Youran wanted to take back everything that had once belonged to Su Ruoxue.
In the past, Su Ruoxue had cherished those things dearly, but as she neared the truth, the once-beautiful memories of Gu Tingyuan were starting to fade from her mind.
From the very beginning, Gu Tingyuan’s love hadn’t been hers to claim, just as Ye Xiao had said.
Gu Tingyuan was not a good man.
“Ye Xiao!”
Su Ruoxue, unsure how to repay her, suddenly embraced Ye Xiao after seeing through the fog of confusion.
“Ugh, Fishy Sister Ruoxue! Let go, are you trying to smother me?”
Ye Xiao’s muffled voice came from within Su Ruoxue’s arms.
As Su Ruoxue held Ye Xiao, the light citrus scent from her filled Su Ruoxue’s nostrils, and in an instant, memories of that intoxicating night flooded her mind once again. Her cheeks flushed a seductive red.
If Aunt Wang were still around, seeing the intimate scene between Su Ruoxue and Ye Xiao, she would have surely spread rumors. But now, in this luxuriously decorated but remote villa far outside the third ring road, no one would disturb them.
Su Ruoxue gently released Ye Xiao from her chest, and Ye Xiao immediately gasped for air, having almost become the first transmigrator in history to be “murdered by boobs”.
As Su Ruoxue gazed at the adorable and enticing Ye Xiao in front of her, the only thought that rose within her was to take revenge on Gu Tingyuan.
Since the one thing he still cared about regarding her was whether or not she had been unfaithful, she would gladly give him a huge metaphorical “green hat.”
However, she couldn’t see herself acting like a promiscuous woman, casually sleeping with other men.
But if the person was the small, delicate girl in front of her, with whom she had already shared an unforgettable night, Su Ruoxue didn’t feel as much psychological pressure.
“Congratulations to the host! Su Ruoxue’s favorability has increased by 40. Current favorability: 50. You have taken 4% of the Child of Fate’s fortune. Gu Tingyuan’s current fortune value is 95.5%. Keep up the good work! You’ve earned 400 strategy points!”
The system’s voice chimed in at the most inappropriate moment, but it signaled that Ye Xiao’s efforts hadn’t been in vain.
“Ugh, Fishy System! What are you doing?” Ye Xiao complained.
She had just been getting into the mood, only for the system to ruin it!
But Su Ruoxue wasn’t about to stop.
Ignoring the system, and with no time to care about it, she focused entirely on Su Ruoxue, who had become exactly like Shen Yunchu in her moment of uncontrollable passion!
