Chapter 18:
“Su Chen, please believe me! It wasn’t me!”
Miao Yiyi cried into a mess of tears. She grabbed Su Chen’s hand and refused to let go.
At this moment, she had only Su Chen as a life-saving straw. If Su Chen wasn’t willing to help her, she would have no other way to save herself.
“Whether you actually did it or not, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Before Miao Yiyi appeared in front of him and told him the news, Su Chen didn’t know that Miao Yiyi did these things.
If she hadn’t said this, he wouldn’t know of anything yet.
“You … do you believe me?”
Miao Yiyi stopped crying and looked at Su Chen with hope.
“No, I mean, you don’t matter to me. I don’t care about what you have or haven’t done.”
Su Chen said.
If it wasn’t for a past relationship between Miao Yiyi and Lei Yuting, he wouldn’t have used Miao Yiyi to deal with Lei Yuting.
He just wanted Lei Yuting to taste the betrayal of a trusted person.
If Miao Yiyi didn’t do it, he could have someone else do it. With Miao Yiyi however, the effect was better.
He really didn’t care who Miao Yiyi was and what she did.
That little special feeling for Miao Yiyi previously had been severed after he gave her that house.
At this moment, he truly had no other intentions with her, and he just wanted to concentrate on doing what he wanted to do.
Lei Yuting’s disappearance, he knew, was his father’s own doing. Sure enough, old ginger was still spicy. He had laid it out before Lei Yuting was even aware.
(TNote: Old ginger was still spicy = old people still have skills.)
He thought that he could hide away Lei Yuting quietly from his father, so that his parents would spend their old age with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, his father came back suddenly, and he had already packed up Lei Yuting away with his own hands. Then his father told him that his life should not be occupied by hatred, nor should he be affected by the grievances of the previous generation.
Finally, the restless heart that he had been hiding behind a mask of calmness for more than a year finally returned to peace.
Yeah, he still had his Mum and Dad. No matter what happens from now on, they would stand behind him and give him support. His Dad would help him and guide him.
He couldn’t waste his father’s intentions and immerse himself in vengeance for that scum anymore.
“What do you mean?”
Miao Yiyi didn’t understand why Su Chen, who was still an ally with her before, suddenly had to cut off his relationship with her like that as if he didn’t care about her at all.
Ignoring her just like when she first met him.
“I literally meant what I said.”
Su Chen felt that he had already made things very clear. If Miao Yiyi couldn’t understand it, he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Su Chen, you can’t just kick me away after you finish using me!”
Miao Yiyi couldn’t take it anymore. She had followed Su Chen’s side this whole time, keeping a low profile and listening to him. She was willing to do anything for him. Is this how he repaid her?
He should at least acknowledge her efforts, her sacrifice!
How could he just ignore her after dealing with Lei Yuting, as if he had never known her before!
“We were using each other.”
Su Chen vocally corrected Miao Yiyi.
Miao Yiyi couldn’t refute. She knew that Su Chen was right. If it weren’t for him, how could she have lived in such a good house, wear such good clothes, and still be able to enter the Lei Group and control it.
Su Chen gave her the money and the resources.
If it weren’t Su Chen, after she was abandoned by Lei Yuting, she would have to go back abroad and continue to be that little hoodlum.
Although she kept saying that Su Chen used her to retaliate against Lei Yuting.
But in reality, Su Chen hasn’t gained anything from this deal, and it was her who got more from it too.
Without retaliating against Lei Yuting, Su Chen was still a successful entrepreneur today, and the road she walked on was all paved by Su Chen.
At most, she was just a puppet who stood in for Su Chen.
“Don’t you have any feelings for me?”
Miao Yiyi finally asked, she really didn’t understand. She could attract so many men’s attention, and could make so many men fall under her vermillion skirt. She didn’t even need to do anything except smile, and they would all be willing to do anything for her.
Why was Su Chen so stubborn?
He had no feelings for her.
“No…”
When he turned, Su Chen hesitated for a moment, because he felt that the scene seemed familiar, but the person who asked the sentence didn’t seem to be Miao Yiyi.
However, it only lasted for a moment, as he assured himself that this was just an illusion. He had never done such a thing with anyone, and he wouldn’t fall like that for anyone too.
Even if there was, that person would be the one falling in love with him. Not like him and Miao Yiyi, who had no feelings but were still entangled with each other.
Dad said that the best feeling is that when you are in love, you support each other, and when you are not in love, you don’t disturb each other.
“Su Chen!”
Looking at Su Chen’s back, Miao Yiyi felt desperate.
All the ugly things she did were because of Su Chen …
She did everything for him, and she had everything, but she still couldn’t gain the love of the person she wanted most.
In pain, she obliged once with one of her suitors, who was a competitor of the Lei Group, a certain rich second generation.
As a result, the other party had tasted the sweetness once, and kept her entangled. In desperation, she had no choice but to be vague with the other party, as she didn’t want word to get out about the two of them.
All of those men who had been rejected by her before came back to her, with some even saying they didn’t mind sharing her with others, and some, asking why she was no match for the rich second generation.
Some threatened her, left her, and ignored her again.
While she was troubled, she also felt faintly happy.
The person Su Chen didn’t want, was still wanted by so many people …
As a result, she was photographed with so many men, and it went viral at this most critical time.
In the end, Irene became head of the Lei group. On the first day of her tenure, she announced that she would sell the Lei group, and all the proceeds would be donated to the children in the poor mountains.
Since the preparations had been good before, the situation remained in control throughout the process. Half a year later, Irene completed this matter, and finally married her childhood sweetheart.
Someone asked her why the strong woman known on the streets was willing to marry a lame man, cook and clean for him, and be a housewife.
She just smiled and didn’t say a word.
No one knew that her father was one of the people who was killed by Lei Yuting back then, and her childhood sweetheart became like this because of protecting her from being hurt by Lei Yuting’s minions.
Miao Yiyi sold the house that Su Chen gave her and went abroad.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t change her nature, and she didn’t have enough money to spend.
As the female lead, the lucky person of this world, her life could not remain ordinary, and soon, she attracted the attention of many rich and powerful people.
It’s just that her dark history was destined to become her stain, as well as her opponent’s weapon.
In the end, she became a plaything for those people and could no longer play on the same stage as she did before. Whenever she wanted to turn over a new leaf, the women who were jealous of her could always use various opportunities to pull her down.
In this life, Miao Yiyi has lived well, at least her material life was very good.
It just didn’t matter whether her spirit had been tortured or not. After turning thirty-two years old, she finally couldn’t stand it, and she ended herself.
It was also at this time that Su Yuyang’s task was finally completed.
“Host, did you intentionally want her to live to this age?”
The system was counting the task points and couldn’t help but ask Su Yuyang.
Although there was no such thing as a novice task, the first task was more to help the host adapt and guide, and it was generally easy.
However, Su Yuyang was able to face the difficulty of this task despite making it harder for himself many times over, letting Lei Yuting and Miao Yiyi go several times, and helping them to get through better as they broke through their previous difficulties, nearly blackening the big villain Su Chen.
In the end, all he did was just take care of himself, just like on vacation. Every day was just for fun, and he only made a move when the time came.
This was true for Lei Yuting, as was Miao Yiyi.
Originally, he could have extinguished the possibility of their growth before the two of them had actually grown into children of heaven.
But it turns out, he was like playing a nurturing game, not only raising Su Chen, but also raising the two of them.
The system couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
“If you say so…”
Su Yuyang absently answered.
He has been worrying about something recently, regarding Su Chen. He didn’t intend to communicate with the system any more.
“Host, the task is completed. Do you want to quickly leave this world, count your points, and start the next task?”
The system was a bit anxious. According to the efficiency of the host, the owed points are not a problem.
“Shut up!”
Su Yuyang simply blocked the system, and then hugged Shen Yi’an who was concentrated on her cooking.
“Wife, I have a question.”
“Yeah?”
Shen Yi’an held up the dishes without replying.
“Tell me, our son, is there a problem in ‘that’ aspect?”
At this point, Su Yuyang had never paid attention to it. The information given to him by the system did not include this aspect. He could not ask why.
He even wondered if, in the original world, the reason Miao Yiyi had no feelings for Su Chen. Was it because of this? Shen Yi’an as his mother, should know, right?
“Which aspect?”
“It’s … ‘that’ … he’s almost thirty, and he doesn’t even want to hold a girl’s hand …”
Su Yuyang whispered as if he was ashamed to say such a thing to his beautiful and kind wife.
“Dad!!! I’m normal!!!”
As a result, Su Chen, who had just opened the door and heard it, immediately blushed and retorted.
“Cough … normal as normal …”
Su Yuyang, who was smashed, uncomfortably served the dishes.
That night, Su Chen took the initiative to enter Su Yuyang’s room and had a serious conversation among men.
No one knew what they talked about, even Shen Yi’an didn’t know, but after that, Su Yuyang never rushed him to marry again, and only concentrated on living his old age with Shen Yi’an.
Su Chen devoted his life to promoting the progress of science and technology, and had become a great man amongst the people.
