Chapter 098 Dark Past
“No, thank you.” Xue Ruyun took a deep breath: “Just wait for me nearby, I think I can handle this.”
“Alright.” Since this was Xue Ruyun’s family matter, Su Rui didn’t intervene right away, wanting to give her some space.
After saying this, he walked to a booth nearby and sat down, deliberately turning his back to them.
Seeing Su Rui walk away, Xue Yang asked smugly: “Oh, by the way, how is your mother doing recently? Since leaving the Xue family all these years, I haven’t heard any news about her.”
Knowing that each of his words stabbed into Xue Ruyun’s heart like a knife, Xue Yang’s smile grew more vicious and smug.
Meanwhile, Su Rui, with his back to them, had a cold light gradually gathering in his eyes. This Xue Yang was truly not a good person.
Indeed, when Xue Ruyun heard these words, she could no longer suppress her anger and said: “Others might not know how we’ve been doing, but you people certainly can’t claim ignorance. If it wasn’t for the behind-the-scenes manipulation by people like you, my mother and I wouldn’t have lived such difficult lives. We were homeless, we couldn’t afford food or warm clothes, nearly dying in the cold winter! All of this was orchestrated by you! How dare you pretend not to know? You all must have been delighted seeing us mother and daughter in such misery!”
After listening, Xue Yang showed a surprised expression: “Oh? There was such a thing? I really haven’t heard about it! But that seems quite impossible!”
“How is it impossible? Xue Yang, stop playing dumb! It’s really not funny!”
“I mean how could you possibly starve or freeze to death? You and your mother with those fox-like faces could easily find lustful men to marry and live comfortably! Just like how your mother seduced my father!”
Hearing this, Xue Ruyun’s body trembled uncontrollably!
“You mother and daughter have such good assets, even sharing one husband wouldn’t be a problem, so how could you end up homeless? Obviously, you didn’t know how to use your advantages!” Xue Yang deliberately frowned, pretending to be deep in thought: “But this doesn’t make sense. Could it be that your mother became disheartened after failing to enter the Xue family and gave up her specialty of seducing men?”
Every word was shameless, every word was cutting, every word deserved death!
“Xue Yang, you bastard! You can insult me, but you absolutely cannot insult my mother! My mother and I endured the humiliation and torture from your Xue family more than twenty years ago. Because of this, she suffered from depression her entire life and died with resentment a few years ago. All of this was caused by your Xue family. If my mother hadn’t been blind to love that hypocritical man, if your Xue family hadn’t been so heartless and ruthless, my mother and I wouldn’t have ended up like this! There’s not a single good person in your Xue family!”
Xue Ruyun became increasingly agitated: “And now, you actually come looking for me and say such things! I don’t want to see anyone from the Xue family again. Get out, get out now!”
The anger in her heart made Xue Ruyun tremble uncontrollably. If possible, she truly wanted to return the humiliation and torture that she and her mother had suffered tenfold or hundredfold to the Xue family!
“I just spoke a few truths, why are you so agitated?” The more angry Xue Ruyun became, the happier Xue Yang was. He clapped his hands and laughed: “My dear sister, don’t forget, the man you mentioned is your father. Without him, how would you exist? Shouldn’t you show him some respect?”
“I told you to get out! Otherwise, I’ll call security!”
In front of the arrogant Xue Yang, Xue Ruyun’s counterattack seemed so powerless.
Su Rui sat with his back to them, deep in thought, expressionless, but a cold aura was slowly emanating from his body!
At this moment, a woman wearing a white spaghetti strap top, exposing half of her snow-white chest, hooked her arm around Xue Yang’s and looked at Xue Ruyun with contempt, saying: “Yang, is this the bastard from the Xue family you mentioned before?”
Hearing these two words, Xue Ruyun’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. She bit her lip, seemingly about to draw blood!
Since she could remember, she had heard these two words countless times. In that large family, these two words had almost become Xue Ruyun’s name! This was her shame! A pain that could never be erased in her lifetime!
If her mother hadn’t fallen in love with that useless man, her life and her own wouldn’t be like this now!
If that man had even a tiny bit of backbone, even a tiny bit of courage, the outcome of these events would have been completely different!
If her mother had married any ordinary man instead…
There were many hypotheticals, but in life, there are no “ifs.”
“Bastard? Haha!” Xue Yang laughed loudly, then glared at the sexy girl beside him, a trace of disdain crossing his face as he sneered: “How can you talk about my sister like that? Even though she really is a bastard, you can’t say it to her face. How many times have I beaten you for this? Don’t be so blunt, you never listen. Be careful, I’ll spank you when we get back.”
“If Yang wants to spank, then spank hard, make it loud.” After saying this, the girl in the white spaghetti strap top made a gesture of sticking out her buttocks, the curve of her beautiful bottom quite tempting, truly flirtatious to the bone.
“Good, good, I’ll beat you half to death tonight. If I don’t make you scream your throat hoarse, I’m not your Yang.”
Xue Yang’s face revealed a lecherous light. After speaking, he grabbed the beauty’s buttocks hard, causing her to let out a moan, full of wantonness.
These two were extremely bold, acting as if no one else was around, treating everyone here as if they were invisible!
Su Rui finally couldn’t stand it anymore. After breaking three wine glasses in succession, he finally stood up.
Seeing Su Rui stand up, Xue Ruyun’s eyes flickered slightly.
Walking up to Xue Yang and glancing at him, Su Rui said: “Handsome guy, may I ask how to address you?”
At this point, the woman in the revealing spaghetti strap dress looked at Su Rui with disdain and said arrogantly: “This is our Young Master Xue, someone a pretty boy like you can’t aspire to know.”
Xue Yang pinched the girl’s buttocks again, showing his approval of her response.
Su Rui coldly glanced at her and said: “I was asking him, not you. Why are you butting in?”
“How dare you talk to me like that?” The woman immediately retorted upon hearing Su Rui’s rudeness.
“How I talk? I should be asking how you talk, right?” Saying this, Su Rui turned his gaze to Xue Yang, his eyes filled with hostility: “I think I understand now. You came here looking for trouble, didn’t you?”
Xue Yang laughed coldly: “Who do you think you are? You dare lecture me? Do you believe I can have people throw you into the Ning River to feed the fish?”
Upon hearing this, Su Rui said contemptuously: “In the week since I arrived in Ninghai, I’ve heard that line at least five times. To be honest, I despise people who threaten to ‘have people do something’ to me. I don’t need to find anyone; I can personally throw you into the Ning River myself, and right now.”
Xue Ruyun stepped forward, tugging at his arm, saying: “Su Rui, this is my family matter, let me handle it myself!”
Su Rui looked at Xue Ruyun and said: “Why are you so foolish? He doesn’t even consider you family, yet you call this a family matter. I understand now – these people caused you to be homeless and nearly unable to survive since childhood, yet you still have compassion for them. What kind of logic is that?”
Xue Ruyun remained silent beside him. Although she knew the Xue family was completely heartless toward her, she had still lived there for a few years as a child and couldn’t completely sever ties. And undeniably, a few people in the Xue family had been decent to her.
Moreover, no one knew better than Xue Ruyun about the Xue family’s influence in the south. She really didn’t want Su Rui to get involved in such trouble because of her.
Su Rui looked at Xue Ruyun’s expression, a hint of mockery appearing on his face as he sneered: “They treat you like this, yet you still want to let it continue. I think this is what they call womanly kindness!”
Xue Yang looked at Su Rui, then at Xue Ruyun, and said arrogantly: “You bastard, where did you find this wild man? It seems you’ve truly inherited your mother’s ability to seduce men, quite skillful indeed.”
Su Rui narrowed his eyes at Xue Yang, his face showing an expression that could only be described as deadly.
He picked up an unopened bottle of vodka, walked up to Xue Yang, and said: “Young Master Xue Yang? Since this is our first meeting today, let’s become friends.”
“Be friends with you? Get as far away as possible!” Xue Yang said disdainfully: “Get lost!”
“See, this is refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”
With that, Su Rui raised the bottle high and without hesitation brought it into intimate contact with Xue Yang’s head!
Because Su Rui’s action was so sudden, Xue Yang had no time to react and was hit squarely!
A crisp sound! The bottle shattered! Red wine covered Xue Yang’s head and face!
Xue Yang was now in a miserable state, his head and face covered in blood-red liquid, making it impossible to distinguish between blood and wine!
He clutched his head, crouching on the ground, his vision darkened! His mind dazed!
At this moment, the woman in the spaghetti strap top, seeing her Young Master Xue being hit, suddenly felt this was her chance to perform!
She didn’t dare provoke Su Rui but didn’t take Xue Ruyun seriously! She angrily ran forward and cursed at Xue Ruyun: “You bastard, bringing such an arrogant wild man, no wonder you were driven out of the Xue family since childhood! Just wait for the Xue family to deal with you!”
Su Rui stared at this woman, his cold gaze causing her to involuntarily shiver!
“I rarely hit women, but every time I do, there’s a reason I can’t avoid it!”
With that, Su Rui stepped forward, grabbed the woman’s long hair, and pulled hard! The woman stumbled!
She struggled desperately, her hands flailing wildly, but Su Rui casually knocked her hands away, his fingers still firmly gripping her hair! Pulling left and right!
Su Rui’s actions were extremely simple and brutal! Without any trace of chivalry toward women!
