Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 349 - 362: Xingyu, Your Face...?

Zhuang Heng looked deeply at her, only speaking after a long pause: "Not entirely. Su Xingyu, I hope you leave S City."

This was the main purpose of her visit to Su Xingyu today. As long as Su Xingyu is in S City for even a day, Zhuang Heng would feel uneasy.

Su Xingyu laughed sarcastically: "Your hope? Zhuang Heng, what qualifies you to hope? Even if everyone in the world wants me to leave, you shouldn’t be among them! You’re the one who set the fire, whether to hold you accountable is just a thought away. Guess what would happen if I told Lu Shifeng about this?"

Zhuang Heng’s face turned slightly pale, yet she remained calm and said, "It’s useless, what makes you think Shifeng would believe you?"

Right, exactly, what makes me think?

Su Xingyu felt a sting in her heart. This sentence from Zhuang Heng was like a poisonous sting from a bee, piercing her heart fiercely.

Since the wedding back then—or even earlier—Lu Shifeng never believed her. She was kidnapped by Qin Mu, the matter of the contraceptives... one incident after another, filled with scars.

She was already tired, not wanting to repeatedly appeal her grievances to Lu Shifeng, only to receive cold glances and cruel punishments in return.

But all of this had nothing to do with Zhuang Heng.

She lifted her face, staring at Zhuang Heng standing opposite her against the light: "Shifeng will believe me."

Her voice was so resolute, portraying herself as flawlessly convincing in front of her enemy, as if she truly believed in the words she spoke.

Zhuang Heng’s face turned even paler, yet she pretended to be indifferent: "No, he won’t believe you; he didn’t believe you four years ago."

Su Xingyu smiled a little: "That’s uncertain now, Zhuang Heng. If you weren’t afraid he’d trust me, why would you go through so much trouble to come here and negotiate with me? You want me to leave S City quickly because you’re worried Lu Shifeng would get involved with me. Seems like your relationship with Lu Shifeng isn’t too solid after all these years."

As she spoke, she felt a bit melancholic.

Originally a photographer, her keen eye for detail was complemented by the lessons learned from past encounters with Zhuang Heng, so she was on high alert facing this enemy, having long detected Zhuang Heng’s abnormalities.

Seeing Zhuang Heng tense, aggressive yet weak inside, she saw all of this, which led to her speculation.

But as the speculation left her lips, she couldn’t help but quietly ponder in her heart—could it really be true? Is there still a spot for her in Lu Shifeng’s heart...?

She dared not linger on the thought.

Zhuang Heng watched her vigilantly, like a prickly hedgehog, trying desperately to maintain her elegance and composure.

Zhuang Heng said, "Su Xingyu, don’t be so conceited. If Shifeng liked you, he wouldn’t have had a child with me, nor would he have married me! You say he’s committing bigamy? Go ahead, sue me, I doubt you’d win on this turf! Shifeng would never want a woman who cuckolded him. Your son with Ouyang Yi is so grown, yet here you are, still dreaming of returning to the Lu Family? The elders of the Lu Family won’t agree!"

Su Xingyu paused and asked, "So, your reliance now is having Jue?"

Zhuang Heng subtly puffed out her chest with slight pride and arrogance: "I gave the Lu Family the eldest grandson of the first family."

Su Xingyu really wanted to mock her for having a sick child, but thinking about Jue’s thin and weak body and his rigid and numb eyes, her heart surprisingly hurt, and she couldn’t bring herself to ridicule.

For a split second, she felt an impulse to bring her Han back to the Lu Family, squeeze out Zhuang Heng, and take care of Jue in her place.

Returning to the Lu Family was simple; she just needed to verify Han’s identity and prove he was Lu Shifeng’s biological son. Han was healthy, capable of inheriting the family business, while Jue was too ill to inherit despite being the eldest. Everyone knew which child was the better choice.

Choosing Han meant choosing her and abandoning Zhuang Heng.

She could reclaim her status as the Lu Family’s young wife, taking care of both children herself. The mere thought made her heart slightly warm.

However, she quickly cooled down.

How can she have such a terrifying thought, to return to Lu Shifeng, the demon?

Just to... care for a sickly child unrelated to her?

Su Xingyu felt she must be insane, hastily brushing aside the forbidden thoughts, looking at Zhuang Heng: "Whether I leave S City is my matter, none of your business."

Zhuang Heng said: "You and Ouyang Yi, this pair of scoundrel and bitch, have the nerve to return?"

Su Xingyu said: "Then what are you? A shameless mistress seducing others’ husbands? You got pregnant while I was still with Lu Shifeng, huh, lady of noble lineage."

Perhaps Su Xingyu’s disdain was too apparent, or maybe the autumn air was just too dry. Zhuang Heng couldn’t hold back anymore and aimed a slap at Su Xingyu!

Su Xingyu instinctively turned her head.

The slap missed, but sharp nails caught the edge of her mask, causing the light blue mask to drift away in the breeze.

"Ah—!" A small girl near Su Xingyu screamed and ran away crying.

Several other children saw her face and screamed "Monster!" before running away.

Su Xingyu instinctively wanted to cover her face but instead hurriedly tried to pick up the mask that fell aside, only for it to be stepped on by a foot wearing red high heels.

"Su Xingyu, promise me, leave S City and never return!" Zhuang Heng’s voice.

Su Xingyu’s temper flared, deciding not to pick up the mask, she stood up abruptly: "Zhuang Heng, I was a bit hesitant about leaving, but you’ve convinced me to stay! No matter the account between me and Lu Shifeng, you and I have many unsettled matters! Spiking contraceptives, murder and arson, mark my words, these will all be brought to light!"

She spoke in one breath, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

Full of anger, she now only wanted to quickly find Ouyang Yi and Han, who had run off somewhere, take them home, and then plan to collect evidence to expose Zhuang Heng’s true nature!

Walking furiously, adults and children avoided her path.

Many children cried out "monster! Ugly!" but she remained oblivious.

Walking too hastily, she bumped into a man.

It was like crashing into a wall of steel, the tip of her nose felt a sour pain.

Her heart also ached slightly, unexpectedly recalling how four years ago she would often bump into someone like this, reflexively stepping back and lifting her head.

What fell into her gaze was a cold, stunningly handsome face.

Lu Shifeng’s appearance was always like a sculpture carved from ice and snow, with hard, deep lines that made countless women scream.

His pair of dark eyes stared at her in surprise: "Xingyu, your face...?"
