Chapter 70 I Won't Bow Down to Someone Like You
After Su Yingqing left, Su Yingxue began to carefully organize the clothes and jewelry she had bought that day.
She picked up the red butterfly brooch and examined it closely under the light, her eyes filled with surprise.
"This brooch is so beautiful, Grandma Tan will definitely love it. I'll give it to Grandma tonight, she'll look so elegant wearing it," Su Yingxue said to herself.
An involuntary smile appeared on his lips as the kind face of Old Mrs. Tan came to mind.
"Oh right, I also need to show it to Zhengchu, so he can see my good taste. He'll definitely praise me, hee hee." Su Yingxue smiled happily like a little girl, her heart filled with confidence.
She felt that although Su Yingqing had suffered a setback in the business world today, given her proud personality, she wouldn't give up easily.
However, Su Yingxue was not afraid; she believed she had the ability to handle the trouble that Su Yingqing might cause.
Su Yingqing and Shen Languang did not leave the mall.
They waited for Su Yingxue to come out in a corner outside the store, their eyes gleaming with ill intent.
Su Yingqing was seething with anger.
She decided that once Su Yingxue came out, she would definitely have a serious talk with her and let her know that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Shen Languang said to Su Yingqing with some concern, "Yingqing, I've heard that Su Yingxue is not easy to deal with. Her current power is not to be underestimated. We should be careful, lest we end up losing more than we gain."
"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of her? She just got lucky. I wasn't prepared today, but she won't be so lucky next time." Su Yingqing spoke toughly, but she was also a little unsure of herself.
She knew that Su Yingxue was no longer the little girl who could be bullied by others, but her pride wouldn't allow her to back down.
Su Yingxue wasn't idle in the store either; she was tidying things up while making plans in her mind.
She knew that Su Yingqing wouldn't let her off easily and would definitely be waiting outside to cause her trouble.
However, she was prepared and confident that she could handle whatever tricks Su Yingqing played.
Outside the jewelry store in the bustling MixC shopping mall, crowds thronged and noise rose and fell.
The exquisite shop windows display dazzling jewelry, its shimmering light falling on passersby.
Su Yingxue, Yang Xinyi, and Chu Qing'er walked out of the jewelry store carrying shopping bags.
Their faces beamed with satisfaction and joy after shopping.
The shopping bag in her hand was filled with all kinds of exquisite jewelry, which shimmered with a charming brilliance under the light.
Su Yingqing and Shen Languang stood in a corner not far away, their eyes fixed on Su Yingxue and the others with the venom of snakes.
Su Yingqing's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.
A slight upturn of her lips revealed a malicious sneer.
She strode arrogantly toward Su Yingxue, her high heels clicking crisply and jarringly on the ground.
"Su Yingxue, come here, I have something to ask you." Su Yingqing's voice was sharp and arrogant, breaking the lively atmosphere around them.
Chu Qing'er immediately became alert.
She stepped forward, blocking Su Yingxue's path, and said with a frown, "Say what you have to say here. What if Yingxue goes with you and something happens to her? We can't let Yingxue get into danger."
Su Yingqing scoffed disdainfully, her eyes sweeping contemptuously over Chu Qing'er: "Su Yingxue, when did you become so timid? You actually need someone else to protect you, how ridiculous."
Yang Xinyi also grabbed Su Yingxue's arm, her face full of worry: "Yingxue, don't go with them. Who knows what they're up to? Su Yingqing is definitely up to no good. Maybe she's plotting something to harm you."
Su Yingxue looked at Su Yingqing's arrogant appearance, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She gently patted Chu Qing'er and Yang Xinyi's hands and said firmly, "It's alright, I'll go listen to what she has to say. I want to see what tricks she can pull."
After saying that, she walked towards Su Yingqing without showing any fear.
As Su Yingqing watched Su Yingxue approach, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced—an expression of a scheme about to succeed.
She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of sarcasm: "Su Yingxue, how do you feel about the noble imperial flower you recently received?"
Su Yingxue was startled, and her brows furrowed instantly.
Her eyes were full of doubt and wariness: "How do you know about the Noble Emperor Flower? What are you trying to say? What do you know about this?"
Su Yingqing simply smiled without saying a word, her eyes filled with increasingly intense provocation, as if she were enjoying Su Yingxue's tension and unease.
Yang Xinyi and Chu Qing'er noticed that Su Yingxue's expression was off, so they quickly ran over.
They pulled Su Yingxue aside, saying, "Yingxue, don't pay attention to her. She's obviously trying to distract you. Let's leave quickly, or we'll fall into her trap."
Su Yingxue gently shook her head, looking at Su Yingqing with a firm gaze: "It's alright, I need to figure out what happened. This flower matter has always been a knot in my heart, and I can't just let it go without knowing the truth."
Su Yingxue stared at Su Yingqing, her eyes as cold as the winter wind, and asked coldly, "Who exactly are you trying to talk about? Don't beat around the bush with me. Just say what you want to say and don't waste my time."
Su Yingqing suddenly burst into laughter, the sound of which was particularly jarring outside the jewelry store: "Hmph, with your current status, you still want to know? Don't you even know if you're worthy?"
However, if you kneel down before me, I might take pity on you and tell you something.
A flash of anger crossed Su Yingxue's eyes.
She gave Su Yingqing a cold glare, her disdain undisguised: "Don't even dream about it. Even if I, Su Yingxue, didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, I would never bow down to someone like you."
After saying that, she resolutely turned and left, her steps firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation.
Watching Su Yingxue's departing figure, Shen Languang asked Su Yingqing with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with Su Yingxue? How come she always has powerful men helping her? What is it about her that makes her always manage to escape danger?"
Su Yingqing's face turned red with anger. She stomped her foot angrily: "She's not going to get away with this. I won't let her get away with this. I will repay her tenfold for the humiliation she caused me today."
Su Yingqing quickly caught up, grabbed Su Yingxue's arm, and her eyes flashed with madness: "Don't go, we haven't finished talking yet. You can't just ignore me like this."
Su Yingxue forcefully slapped her hand away, her eyes filled with annoyance: "I don't want to know anymore, don't bother me. I've seen through your little tricks, don't make a fool of yourself."
Su Yingqing's face darkened, and the anger in her eyes seemed to devour Su Yingxue: "Su Yingxue, don't be too smug. I'm not done with you yet. Do you think you can get rid of me? You're too naive."
