After finishing speaking, Su Jiuyi thought of something again and added, "Of course, I owe a lot to my mom, because she has been silently watching over me from another world. She didn’t want me to get hurt, so I’ll always be fine. I’m not living for others to see, but to put my mom’s mind at ease. You may hurt me, but I will not abandon my dignity because of being hurt."

Su Jiuyi considers herself not a strong woman, but every time she faces adversity or difficulty, she responds with strength. Even if she falls, she doesn’t mind because she can stand up and start over. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The first time she was mocked and ridiculed, she might have felt sad, but after experiencing it multiple times, she gradually got used to it, and over time she developed antibodies to the outside world, becoming Immune to Hundred Poisons.

He Lanxiang knows Su Jiuyi quite well, but she hasn’t interacted with her many times. She only heard Zhao Shuya talk about how Su Jiuyi is pretentious and arrogant, with no skills but loves to throw tantrums, threatening to leave the house at any disagreement. To upset Su Zhenxiong, she even went to work at a night club. Saying it’s to earn money, but actually to hook up with men, that’s why she said those words earlier to mock Su Jiuyi.

But what surprised He Lanxiang was that Su Jiuyi fought back and left her speechless. Realizing that speaking further would only be self-defeating, she decided to throw this difficult task to Zhao Shuya: "Shuya, you need to control your daughter. I just told her thanks to you, she could return to the Su Family, and she actually brought up her dead mother to scare me! I was really frightened..."

As she spoke, she deliberately put on a disappointed look, making Su Jiuyi feel disgusted. She thought, with Zhao Shuya’s character, the friends she makes can only have such quality.

She didn’t plan to pay any more attention to them, turned around and headed out of the hall. As she reached the door, Zhao Shuya’s voice came from behind, "I don’t blame you for what happened earlier, but you must apologize to your Aunt Lanxiang. As a junior, speaking to elders in such a tone is disrespectful. Have you forgotten all the rules your father taught you after just one trip to the night club?"

Su Jiuyi paused her steps, turned back to glance at Zhao Shuya, only finding it laughable. These people keep mentioning the night club as if emphasizing that going to such places makes her unclean?

Oh right, she indeed isn’t a clean person anymore, she already gave her body to Shi Aoju before. But what does it matter, even if she were dead, how would it concern these people?

Withdrawing her gaze from Zhao Shuya, she turned around once more, and walked out without looking back, ignoring Zhao Shuya’s screams demanding she apologize to He Lanxiang.

Su Jiuyi planned to go out and buy some ingredients to cook for Shi Aoju, but just as she reached the front door, a tall bodyguard blocked her, "Sorry, Miss, the master has said you cannot go out before nine o’clock tonight. Please go back."

Su Jiuyi glanced at the bodyguard, unfamiliar, likely just arrived. She looked around and noticed several other unfamiliar guards. She understood, these people were sent by Su Zhenxiong to keep an eye on her, ensuring she wouldn’t miss tonight’s matchmaking banquet.
