Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 365: The Scheming of a Wicked Woman (1)
"What’s the difference? Just help me up. I can bear it!" Song Jialing glared at Mu Hongbo and said irritably.
"How is it different?" Mu Hongbo didn’t care about the feelings of those around him. After all, they were all family, and he had no reservations. With that, he reached out his hands, bent his legs slightly, and steadily picked up Song Jialing.
"Put me down now!" Song Jialing’s waist hurt, so she didn’t dare to move recklessly and could only open her mouth to command.
"It’s fine, I can carry you." Mu Hongbo looked down at Song Jialing with a smile and then quickened his pace, striding towards the main house.
After Mu Hongbo and Song Jialing left, Su Aiping remained standing in the shallow pond, while Mu Hongwen, unlike his elder brother, showed no concern or anxiety for his wife. He just stood by the pond’s edge, coldly watching the disheveled Su Aiping.
"Why are you still standing there? Don’t you know how to come up?" Mu Hongwen coldly threw out the words, turned around, and left, exuding an extremely cold and ruthless aura!
Sometimes, comparing oneself with others can drive one mad!
For more than thirty years, Mu Hongbo had always been loving and indulgent towards Song Jialing, but Mu Hongwen had been consistently cold and heartless towards Su Aiping for decades. Although Su Aiping surpassed Song Jialing in both family background and talent, the treatment she received in the Mu Family was far worse than that of Song Jialing!
She was unwilling!
She had resented, she had fought, she had even schemed, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t change her status in this family over the years.
She hated!
She was angry!
But Mu Hongwen always ignored her dissatisfaction. On the surface, they were a couple, but in reality, they were like enemies, mutually resentful and deeply bitter against each other!
At this moment, like many times before, Su Aiping was extremely angry. Watching Mu Hongwen’s departing figure, she gritted her teeth, trembling all over with rage.
"Second... Second Madam, let me help you up?"
Having admired and sighed over the sweet affection between Mu Hongbo and Song Jialing, Lan had never imagined she would witness such a stark contrast! In her impression, although the relationship between Mu Hongwen and Su Aiping was not as good as that of her master and mistress, it had always been quite peaceful, with few words and no quarrels ever seen. Therefore, when she just saw Mu Hongwen ruthlessly scold Su Aiping, Lan was shocked! After Mu Hongwen left and Su Aiping stood alone in the pond, Lan couldn’t help but sympathize. She took a few steps forward, reached out her hand kindly to help.
"You must despise me now, right?" Su Aiping looked down at Lan’s proffered hand, then lifted her head, her eyes dark and gloomy, making Lan not dare to meet her gaze directly!
"No, no, I don’t dare." If she could, Lan would rather have seen nothing, so she wouldn’t have to face such an awkward situation now.
"Hmph, you lowly servant, you say you don’t dare, but you’re already secretly laughing at me! Don’t think I don’t know!" Su Aiping gritted her teeth and said confidently.
"I didn’t, really didn’t!" You’re overthinking! Lan vehemently denied it.
"Still say you didn’t? Now you even dare to show me attitude!" Su Aiping glared at Lan with eyes full of doubt and dissatisfaction, her face twisted slightly in a ferocious and terrifying way.
Perhaps the reflection she saw on the water just now was real!
Seeing Su Aiping’s expression, Lan suddenly remembered her previous ferocious look, and her heart involuntarily trembled with fear!
"Why don’t you speak? Do you not even put me in your eyes?" Su Aiping was almost mad with anger. With no outlet to vent her anger on Mu Hongwen, she could only take it out on Lan.
"I don’t dare." Lan lowered her head. It was the first time she saw Su Aiping so fierce and she couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive.
"Don’t dare? Why not dare!" Su Aiping said as she reached out her index finger and jabbed it hard on Lan’s forehead twice, cursing, "You’re a piece of trash, no dignity, no self-respect, a trash who can’t change your fate!"
That’s too much!
Throwing tantrums is one thing, but personal attacks?
Lan clenched her fists, suddenly raised her head, and shouted defiantly, "I am not trash!"
"You’re just a lowly servant who can only follow orders every day, if you’re not trash, then what are you?"
"..."
Lan didn’t want to argue with her. In her view, no matter what job, it should be respected, so she didn’t feel she’s lowly.
"Second Madam, if you don’t want to come up, then I’ll go." Although she was just an unremarkable servant in the Mu Family, she was loved by her parents. Because of her status, Lan couldn’t argue with Su Aiping, but she wasn’t a brainless fool who would stand there and let others insult her!
With that, Lan turned around and was about to leave. Seeing this, Su Aiping became even angrier and immediately yelled, "Stop!"
"What else do you want?" Lan reluctantly stopped, turned around and asked neither humbly nor timidly.
"You..." Su Aiping wanted to continue cursing, but when her gaze fell on Lan’s face, she swallowed her words back down.
Does she need to waste time on a lowly servant? If she wanted to deal with her, there were many ways, no need to waste her energy and lose her status!
Thinking of this, Su Aiping calmed down and dominantly ordered, "Pull me up!"
Watching Su Aiping’s hand frozen in midair, Lan’s eyes flashed with impatience, but she had no reason to resist. Even though she was very unwilling, she had to step forward, reach out, and pull Su Aiping up.
The pond was not deep. It was not difficult to get out. But after Lan grabbed Su Aiping’s hand, Su Aiping relaxed her body, letting Lan struggle to pull her up.
"Use your strength, the Mu Family doesn’t raise useless people!" Su Aiping scolded.
"I’m already using my full strength; you need to put in some effort too!" Lan had channeled all her strength into her hands, but after several attempts, she still couldn’t pull Su Aiping out.
"I am using strength!" Su Aiping loudly retorted, momentarily distracted Lan.
"I didn’t mean that."
"Then what did you mean?" Su Aiping wouldn’t let go. As soon as her words fell, she suddenly used force, and pulled Lan into the water!
Drip—
The high-splashing water droplets fell on the tiles by the pond, soaking them once again.
