Chapter 232 Angry Little Snake
“Meeting you is truly my misfortune.” Song Xuejiao glanced at Su Rui sitting in the driver’s seat, her eyes complex.
Logically, she should hate Su Rui. If not for him, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation with Jiang Yi, nor would she have made the decision to break with her family.
“It’s your good fortune,” Su Rui corrected.
“No man, no family, what fortune is there to speak of?” Song Xuejiao could only respond with a cold laugh to Su Rui’s assertion.
“Discovering the truth earlier, breaking free earlier, what’s wrong with that?” Su Rui released the steering wheel and spread his hands. “It’s just breaking out of a cocoon to become a butterfly.”
“Breaking out of a cocoon? The cocoon is broken, but I can’t become a butterfly.” Song Xuejiao’s eyes revealed a bitter meaning.
Late spring and early summer, flowers blooming everywhere, lush greenery, but in Song Xuejiao’s eyes, it was all indescribably desolate and lonely.
“For you, is it really so difficult to say sorry?” Song Xuejiao raised her eyebrows.
“I don’t feel I’ve wronged you, so there’s no need to apologize,” Su Rui paused, then continued: “Although the truth may be cruel for you, you should know that I didn’t create this truth… I was just responsible for exposing it.”
“What will you do with the Tianxiang Group next?” After a moment of silence, Song Xuejiao still asked.
“Didn’t you cut ties with your family? Why do you still care about Tianxiang Group’s affairs?” Su Rui said with a half-smile, his face bearing a slightly mocking expression.
In fact, Song Xuejiao was much stronger than her appearance suggested, something Su Rui had long seen through.
“They’re no match for you. I’m concerned whether you’ll completely destroy them,” Song Xuejiao said softly.
Having met only twice, Su Rui’s performance had already completely intimidated her. She knew that her brother Song Yili was no comparison to Su Rui, and even if her calculating father stepped in, he would definitely be no match for this young man.
Hearing the words “completely destroy,” Su Rui raised his eyebrows: “Honestly, that’s not my style, but if they remain obstinate, I wouldn’t mind doing so.”
Song Xuejiao’s body trembled imperceptibly. Although her father and brother’s actions had greatly disappointed her, they were still her family.
“What counts as being obstinate?” Song Xuejiao asked.
“Just admit defeat, don’t resist to the end,” Su Rui smiled. “Besides, Tianxiang Group is so massive that even if I wanted to swallow it whole, it would take several years to digest.”
“Admit defeat…”
Song Xuejiao chewed on these words, falling into silence for a moment.
After recognizing Su Rui’s overwhelming strength, she had advised her father the same way, but what had she gained besides cold mockery?
“They will never admit defeat,” Song Xuejiao said disappointedly.
“If they don’t admit defeat, Bikang won’t back down either.”
Su Rui said calmly: “Your bastard brother, killing him ten times wouldn’t be enough.”
Hearing this, Song Xuejiao didn’t argue. Her mind couldn’t help but recall the hysterical, frenzied appearance of Song Yili earlier, and she involuntarily shuddered!
Su Rui was right, Song Yili was indeed a bastard!
The car continued forward, clearly having left Ninghai’s boundaries.
“Where are you taking me?” Song Xuejiao looked at the winding mountain road around them, not feeling afraid.
Having lost her man and family, she was now almost numb with despair. Even if Su Rui took her to a deserted place to do something, she probably wouldn’t resist too fiercely.
“You don’t know where to go, I don’t know where to go, so we’re just driving,” Su Rui had unknowingly arrived at the same racetrack from that night, and his speed was steadily increasing.
“This aimless wandering doesn’t seem like your style.”
“Do I have a purpose for everything I do?” Su Rui laughed. “You talk as if we know each other well.”
“If you had no purpose, why would you wait for me outside Tianxiang Group?” Song Xuejiao knew that her every move was within Su Rui’s calculations. Without an extremely thorough analysis of human nature, he couldn’t have so perfectly grasped the timing of her exit.
Perhaps every word of her father and brother might have been within his predictions.
“Because I wanted to comfort you. Although we’ve only met twice, I feel we get along naturally,” Su Rui rubbed his nose.
“Shameless,” Song Xuejiao pouted, but this exchange had already lightened the gloom in her eyes considerably.
“Time heals all wounds,” Su Rui suddenly said.
Song Xuejiao looked at him in surprise: “I don’t need your fake consolation.”
Su Rui shook his head and smiled: “Looking at it this way, I do seem quite fake. If you weren’t so beautiful, I wouldn’t bother saying these things.”
Song Xuejiao glanced at him disdainfully, lowered the car window, stuck her head out, and looked at the scenery outside.
By now, two hours had passed since she had left Tianxiang Group.
Su Rui looked at his watch, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.
But this smile was somewhat cold.
Song Xuejiao was right, he never did anything without purpose.
“Song Yili, Song Yili…” Su Rui chewed on this name in his heart, narrowing his eyes: “I’m just waiting for you to make your move.”
The car continued for another hour, still on the mountain road. It seemed Su Rui had been driving in large circles.
“Stop the car.”
Song Xuejiao suddenly said.
“Why stop?”
“Just stop when I tell you to.” Song Xuejiao’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Tell me the truth, or I won’t stop,” Su Rui refused to be manipulated by a woman.
“I… I need to use the bathroom,” Song Xuejiao hesitated before saying.
She had actually been holding it for a long time, especially with the car bouncing, making it harder to endure.
“Haha, that’s nothing to be embarrassed about, everyone has needs,” Su Rui, that jerk, actually appeared quite understanding as he slowly pulled the car over and said: “But there’s no bathroom here.”
Song Xuejiao had already put one foot out the door, but instinctively pulled it back.
Was Su Rui rubbing it in?
“Although there’s no bathroom, you can just go in the wild,” Su Rui smiled. “There’s no one around in these mountains, don’t worry, no one will see you.”
Song Xuejiao looked at him with a strange expression, saying nothing.
“Are you worried about me?” Su Rui laughed heartily. “Relax, I have no interest in peeping at beautiful women peeing.”
Song Xuejiao’s face reddened, truly feeling that Su Rui was too much of a jerk.
Could it be that this annoying guy brought her here just to wait for this moment?
That would be too perverted!
“Don’t you dare look, or I’ll have someone gouge out your eyes.”
Although she knew her threat was quite powerless, Song Xuejiao threatened him anyway.
With that, she closed the car door, climbed over the guardrail, and carefully made her way down the slope.
“Don’t go too far, it’s dangerous down there with slippery grass and steep slopes!” Su Rui called out loudly.
“Mind your own business.” Song Xuejiao continued carefully downward. Although Su Rui had promised not to look, she didn’t want him to hear either, and besides, no man could be trusted.
Better to believe in ghosts than to trust a man’s words.
Going downhill in high heels was always difficult. Song Xuejiao finally managed to descend five or six meters, looked around to confirm the vast mountains were empty of people, and finally, with a slightly red face, undid her skirt and squatted down.
Weeds grew abundantly here, with grass blades even touching her bottom—although no one else could see, Song Xuejiao found it truly embarrassing.
Su Rui leaned against the car, leisurely gazing at the distant scenery. As for whether he was mentally picturing the scene down the slope, only he knew.
A minute later, Song Xuejiao finished and was about to stand up when she suddenly felt a pain in her bottom!
A completely red small snake was emerging from a rock crevice. Perhaps annoyed that Song Xuejiao had disturbed its rest, it bit her bottom without mercy!
Song Xuejiao was absolutely terrified. With a scream, before she could even pull up her skirt, her foot slipped, and she lost her balance, tumbling down the hillside!
“What happened?”
Su Rui was leisurely whistling when he suddenly heard the scream from down the slope. He immediately leaped over the guardrail, just in time to see Song Xuejiao tumbling!
Su Rui moved like lightning, like a tiger descending the mountain!
On this rather steep slope, he moved as if on flat ground!
Song Xuejiao was truly frightened, thinking she would roll down the mountain and at least suffer serious injuries.
Time seemed to stretch, but it was actually very brief. She had only tumbled three or four times before stopping.
Because Su Rui had already reached her, lifting her by the waist!
Song Xuejiao, held by Su Rui, clung to him like a lifeline, breathing heavily, still terrified!
Su Rui likewise held Song Xuejiao, but his hand accidentally rested on her buttocks.
It was truly “accidental.”
Su Rui felt something smooth and delicate, not knowing what fabric it was, and even rubbed it slightly.
This was too much—Song Xuejiao felt as if she’d been molested—which, in fact, she had been—and quickly covered her buttocks, stepping back several paces!
This backfired, as her retreat exposed everything to Su Rui’s view.
Whether stunned by the shock or for some other reason, Su Rui stood motionless, staring at a certain part of Song Xuejiao!
“Pervert, lecher!” Song Xuejiao’s face flushed red as she cursed, quickly turning around to pull up her skirt.
But this move exposed her snow-white, round buttocks to Su Rui!
Although Song Xuejiao had a strong personality, she was still a great beauty. Seeing such a view, Su Rui could barely breathe!
“Well, that’s not fabric, it’s clearly real skin,” Su Rui rubbed his nose and said.
Song Xuejiao was both embarrassed and angry. Just as she was about to pull up her skirt, she found a hand blocking her movement!
“What are you doing?”
Song Xuejiao now had nowhere to hide!
“Don’t move!”
Su Rui crouched down, staring at Song Xuejiao’s buttocks.
