Chapter 14

Finally, exhausted, Li Kai and Qin Hao were forced to end their fight.

As the victor, Qin Hao showed no joy. His chest heaved with ragged breaths, his anger still palpable. He glared at Su Yuluo, who was huddled in a corner, his eyes filled with a murderous intensity, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.

Su Yuluo had her head buried in her knees, her body shaking, looking like she had suffered a great injustice, sobbing uncontrollably.

And Li Kai, like a defeated rooster, gasped for air. His forehead was swollen, his body covered in bruises and scrapes, but his nose was miraculously unscathed.

On the way here, I had casually mentioned to Qin Hao that in the ER, I had seen many people who fought impulsively but managed to do so with a certain level of skill.

They inflicted enough pain to satisfy their anger without causing serious injury that would lead to legal trouble.

I had also told him that the nasal bone and eardrums are particularly fragile.

I turned off my phone and coolly observed the scene that had ended all too quickly. It was a pity: Qin Hao hadn’t been ruthless enough. The scumbag Li Kai hadn’t suffered enough.

Su Yuluo’s reaction today, however, was somewhat surprising.

She was much weaker than I had imagined, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.

Perhaps it was Qin Hao’s presence that prevented her from showing her true colors.

As if sensing the sudden quiet, Su Yuluo stopped crying and looked up. Her face was a mess of blood and tears, a pathetic and laughable sight.

I curled my lips into a mocking, provocative smile.

Instantly, the innocent, rabbit-like look in her eyes vanished, replaced by a resentful and venomous glare. She staggered to her feet and advanced on me. “You set this all up, didn’t you?!”

I put on an innocent, panicked expression and said in an aggrieved tone, “You seduced my husband, destroyed my family, slept in my bed, and now you’re turning it around on me?”

My hands were hidden behind my back, my fists clenched.

If she dared to touch a single hair on my head, I would beat her to a pulp today.

I feigned alarm because I wanted to see how Li Kai would choose between me and Su Yuluo.

But he hesitated.

As Su Yuluo approached me, Li Kai stood frozen, not moving an inch. His eyes, when he looked at Su Yuluo, even held a hint of pity.

In that moment, I saw this man, the man I had once loved so deeply, for who he truly was.

In that case, don’t blame me for what comes next!

“You bitch! Li Kai should have divorced you a long time ago!” Su Yuluo screamed, seemingly going mad, and raised her hand to strike me.

I was already prepared.

“Smack!” I swung my arm in a wide arc and slapped her across the face.

“Smack!” I followed up with a backhand.

“Good hit! Seducing someone’s husband, destroying their family, and still having the nerve to be so arrogant!”

“Shameless, ugh!” someone in the crowd shouted.

Su Yuluo seemed not to have expected my retaliation and stood stunned. Her face immediately swelled up like a pig’s head, her eyes brimming with tears of humiliation, but she was too scared to say anything more.

If she said one more insolent word, the spit from the crowd at the door would be enough to drown her.

“Su Yuluo, haven’t you caused enough of a scene?!”

Qin Hao grabbed Su Yuluo, but he used too much force, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

“They’re all ganging up on me, setting me up, framing me! Can’t you see that, Qin Hao?!”

“Qin Hao, you idiot! You’re being used by this bitch Wang Xi!”

“I’ve been so wronged, and now even you won’t help me.”

“You even hit me just now, after I was trying to protect you!” Su Yuluo sat on the floor, throwing a tantrum, crying so hard she could barely breathe.

Only then did Li Kai step in front of me, pointing a finger at Su Yuluo and screaming, “I told you long ago not to seduce me, not to destroy my family!”

“From the very beginning, the only one I’ve ever loved is my wife.”

Su Yuluo was speechless, so shocked she forgot to cry.

The sound of police sirens grew louder outside. The doorway was filled with curses and insults-some aimed at the shameless mistress, some at the ungrateful, inhuman scumbag, and some expressing sympathy for me, the wronged wife, and Qin Hao, the cuckolded man.

It was a complete mess.

Hit with a double blow and hearing the police sirens, Su Yuluo was genuinely scared. Her face turned pale. Forgetting to grab her things, she tried to run.

I stuck out my foot, and she tripped, landing flat on her face.

Trying to escape? Not a chance!

“Take off the dress!” I sneered at the whimpering Su Yuluo on the floor.

Su Yuluo was furious and frantic, but in the end, she had no choice but to take it off.

I threw the dress in her face, my voice chillingly calm. “Don’t leave your filth here to disgust me! Trash belongs in the trash can!”
