Chapter 242: What A Loss For Me

She felt a cold and empty gaze coming from Helan Fangnian from her peripheral vision. It was as if Helan Fangnian never existed, standing idly by, completely ignoring his presence.

Yue Tingfeng glanced over coldly toward Helan Fangnian as he wrapped his arm around Yan Qingsi’s waist, claiming her to be his alone. It was a complete show of masculinity.

Helan Xiuse noticed Yue Qingsi. Filled with curiosity she asked, “Brother Tingfeng, this lady is... Oh wait, I think I remember now, this lady is a celebrity. Whoa, you are even more stunning in real life compared to seeing you on screen. Can I get your autograph later?”

Seeing how excited her own daughter was acting, Mrs.Helan gently pat Helan Xiuse and said, “Calm down, please act more like a lady would you.”

Judging from both Yue Tingfeng and Yan Qingsi’s body language, Helan Xiuse felt bad and bowed her head in embarrassment and muttered softly. “I... think I might have done something wrong.” She mischievously spat her tongue out all while she scratched her head shyly.

“I ran into Miss Ruke while I was shopping a few days ago and she mentioned that she will be attending my coming-of-age ceremony with Brother Tingfeng. I had an invitation with me that time so I gave it to her on that day. I didn’t expect... I’m really sorry...” Helan Xiuse added.

Seeing how distressed her own daughter was and like any loving mother would, Mrs. Helan wrapped her arms around her daughter to comfort her. “My dear girl, how is it your fault, you’re so pure and innocent. How could you reduce yourself to someone as cunning and complicated as that woman?”

“But this is just so embarrassing...” Helan Xiuse exclaimed.

Mrs. Yue smiled and said, “Oh honey, this is all out of your control and it is never your fault...”

Mrs. Helan added, ” You’re too kind Mrs. Yue. My daughter has always been thoughtful and naive. She will believe anything people told her.”

Feeling pleased, Mrs. Yue looked at Helan Xiuse and said, “Being kind and thoughtful is wonderful, I have always favored kind and thoughtful kids.”

While caressing her chin, Yan Qingsi stated that it was natural that Mrs. Yue hated her since she was not anywhere close to being kind.

After some greetings and small talk, the Helan family decided to take their leave.

As the entire family walked away, Helan Xiuse turned around and said, “Miss Qingsi, I will get your autograph later alright?”

Yan Qingsi could not help but smile in response and thought that she was adorable.

Seeing that they have left the scene, Mrs. Yue turned to face Yan Qingsi. With a stern and strict tone, she said, “This is how a lady should act, you know?”

She pushed Mrs.Yue’s hands away. “I am well aware of how a lady should act but so what if I knew? If I’m anything like her, I could have never slept with your son. What a loss for me,” Yan Qingsi argued.

If she even so slightly acted like Xiuse, she would have been devoured into oblivion.

As this conversation carried on, it reminded Yan Qingsi of all the repressed memories she had kept buried deep in her subconscious mind. This reminder made her blood boil instantly.

“I will need to excuse myself to the washroom for a moment. Shall we go together, Aunty Yue?” asked Yan Qingsi.

Mrs. Yue shook her head and said, “No.”

“Then please excuse me for a second, I will be going alone then.”

Yue Tingfeng called out to her, “Qingsi...”

Qingsi stopped for a moment after hearing Tingfeng’s voice. With her back facing Yue Tingfeng, she said in a harsh tone, “I don’t feel like talking to you right now.”

With that said, Yan Qingsi bolted to the washroom, still fuming with extreme anger—she needed an outlet to vent.

She knew after what she had done to Yan Ruke, Ruke would still be in the washroom cleaning herself up.

With a huge grin on her face, Yan Qingsi thought in head. ‘Not so fast, lil’ aunt, here I come.’

As she approached the washroom, just as she had guessed, clear as day standing in the washroom was none other than her prey—Yan Ruke. Still grinning, she leaned by the door, waiting for her to exit.

After what may seem like a brief moment, Yan Ruke was finally done with cleaning herself up and dressing the wound on her foot, she walked out.

Without any moment of hesitation, Yan Qingsi extended her leg to trip the unsuspecting victim. Yan Ruke fell face-first onto the ground below. She let out a loud whimper as she felt the full brunt of the fall.

She could only hear the unforgiving sarcastic remarks made by Yan Qingsi coming from above her. “Sorry miss, next time, use those pretty eyes of yours. Your pathetic fall hurt my leg!”
