Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Six

Hu Yueyuan had to admire the beautiful scene before her. She smiled excitedly: “Ling Miao, you’re really involved with this man! Your dad doesn’t know, does he? If I told him about this…” She didn’t finish her sentence, the threat left hanging to make him panic.

Hu Yueyuan waited for Ling Miao to name his terms of his own accord.

Ling Miao didn’t say anything but Su Yuyang sat up from the bed and asked, “Your terms?”

Hu Yueyuan was very satisfied with Su Yuyang’s answer. She looked at Su Yuyang with approval and thought wistfully, Why is a man like that with Ling Miao? It’s a blasphemous waste.

“I want Ling Miao to move out.” Hu Yueyuan didn’t stand on ceremony. Since she had a handle on her enemy, she had to use it well! How else would she live up to her discovery? “I also want his name off the title deed!”

“Just that?” Su Yuyang asked nonchalantly, a mocking expression on his face as if Hu Yueyuan’s demands were chump change. Hu Yueyuan was even more pleasantly surprised. She activated every brain cell to think about what else she could get from Su Yuyang and Ling Miao.

“Two hundred thousand!” Hu Yueyuan thought about it and decided on something material. “Aside from what I said just now, I also want two hundred thousand!”

Ling Miao shrugged nonchalantly. Su Yuyang glanced at Ling Miao, took a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it. White smoke rose from between Su Yuyang’s pale lips, veiling him thinly. He stared out the window, a mocking smile on his lips. He said in a low voice, “That’s a little much, isn’t it?”

Hu Yueyuan was stunned. She retorted, “Didn’t you ask me to state my terms?”

“I said state your terms, so you stated them. So if I ask you to… scram, you’ll scram?” Su Yuyang tapped the ash off his cigarette. He was dismissive of Hu Yueyuan.

Su Yuyang was about to say, “If I ask you to die, you’ll die?” But he was worried about provoking Ling Miao, so he switched from ‘die’ to ‘scram,’ decreasing the severity by a lot. Ling Miao shot Su Yuyang a grateful look, which Su Yuyang didn’t discover but which Hu Yueyuan did. She interpreted Ling Miao’s look as being flirtatious.

Now that Hu Yueyuan had been played by Su Yuyang and also thought she saw Ling Miao flirting with him, her anger flared. She huffed and cursed, “People like you and Ling Miao should burn to death!”

Slap—

A crisp slap reached Su Yuyang’s ears and he looked at Ling Miao whose expression was calm.

“Have you said enough?” Ling Miao was like a block of ice. His gaze and tone radiated a chill and Hu Yueyuan trembled.

Hu Yueyuan might have been slapped silly by Ling Miao, because she clutched her face and stood frozen to the spot not knowing what to do. Tears of incomprehension, shame, and anger leaked from the corners of her eyes and fell.

“What are you looking at? If you’re done talking, then scram.” Ling Miao kicked Hu Yueyuan out of the room and shut the door with a slam.
