Chapter 268 - The Snake and the Scorpion WomanIn the room, Su Lei was combing her black hair with a smooth mahogany comb. The delicate face reflected in the bronze mirror didn"t have any expression on it.
Yan He smiled as he placed a brocade box on Su Lei"s dressing table. "Madam, this is a jade hairpin that I specially picked out for you in Xiang City."
Seeing Su Lei open the box, a trace of a smile appeared in Yan He"s eyes. There wasn"t a woman that didn"t like gold and silver jewelry, even though he knew that many of his past actions had deeply hurt Su Lei, but he also believed that Su Lei"s deep love and hatred towards him was enough to make up for the hatred in her heart.
A unique looking jade hairpin rested within the brocade box. On the top of the jade cup was a meticulously sculpted peony flower, while the flower bud"s lines were poured out of gold, the hairpin in his hand was ice-cold to the bone, and the dazzling gold lines were pleasing to the eyes, but unfortunately, Yan He did not see any sort of smile on Su Lei"s face.
"If I remember correctly, peonies are the favorite flower of Su Ye." The corner of Su Lei"s mouth raised into a sneer. Obviously, this unique looking hairpin was used by Yan He to coax Su Ye. However, after seeing her appearance, Yan He changed his mind.
The smile on Yan He"s face stiffened as he awkwardly said, "If madam likes it, how about I bring back a lotus jade hairpin that madam likes?"
Su Lei shook her head. She didn"t want that, what she wanted before was Yan He"s sincerity. Now that she saw Yan He"s fake face, her heart was like dying embers. What she wanted was freedom.
"Whatever you want, I will satisfy you." Yan He"s tone was sincere, but unfortunately, he was no longer able to move Su Lei.
Su Lei was about to say something, but suddenly, with a clang sound, the door was pushed open by Ah Qing and a human figure rolled on the ground while letting out a wail.
Yan He"s expression immediately changed, "Didn"t you leave already? What is this? "
Su Ye crawled up from the ground and grabbed onto Yan He"s sleeve while crying, "Husband, he dares to be so frivolous with me."
Ah Qing scoffed disdainfully, "Second Madam, why don"t you consider yourself a bit? With your mediocre appearance, how can I take your interest lightly?"
Su Ye"s appearance could be considered pretty, but Ah Qing had seen too many beauties. Wei Yuanwei"s was beautiful, elegant and demure, the Six Princess was beautiful, and even the male and female Ning Zheyan was beautiful beyond compare. Su Ye"s appearance was at most like a nameless little wild flower blooming in the mountains.
She even forgot to cry. In her life, the thing that she was most proud of was her appearance. It was also because of this confidence that she took the initiative to seduce Yan He, who was her brother-in-law at that time.
Su Ye rolled her eyes. Her lips curled up into a faint smile. "Old master, I have always been your bodyguard. But now, I"ve been easily taken care of by this man. I don"t want to live anymore."
Seeing that her brain was about to burst, Yan He hugged her tightly from behind. In the end, he could not bear to part with this woman who gave him warmth and comfort, not to mention that Su Ye was his Flower of Interpretation.
Su Ye cried even more fiercely now. The tears on his face were like a river that had just burst out. "Master, why don"t you let me die?"
Yan He hugged Su Ye with a pained expression as he looked towards the culprit, "Men! Capture this troublesome citizen and report him to the authorities!"
A clear and melodious female voice rang out, "I thought that Manager Yan was someone who understood reason, but who knew that you would be so confused. Not only are your eyes blind, but you"re also crazy."
Wei Yuanwei smiled and walked in. She had already washed himself clean and his face was covered with a red veil, making his skin look even more snow-white.
These few years, everything had gone smoothly and smooth, to the point that the herb business had gone to an unexpected extent. The people around him had always held him in high esteem, so when had anyone ever mentioned him like this before?
Wei Yuanwei"s words were an insult to him!
Yan He pointed at Wei Yuanwei furiously. "What are you planning to do by returning? Could it be that she has really taken a fancy to the wealth of our Yan family and wants to take it for herself? "
No wonder he had been toyed with by Su Ye for so many years, and no one knew how he managed to achieve great things. Wei Yuanwei"s eyes landed on Su Lei"s face, she had been silently watching, without showing any signs of panic on her face, Wei Yuanwei suddenly understood one thing, Yan and the achievements that she had achieved today were most likely related to Su Lei, she secretly rejoiced in her heart. In the future, if she opened a plastic surgery shop, she would be in charge of taking in customers, and Ah Qing would be in charge of taking in customers for her, while Su Lei happened to be in charge of financing for her.
This time, Wei Yuanwei realized that he had gone absent-minded. She retracted her gaze, and when her gaze landed on Yan He, the corner of his mouth hooked into a mocking smile: "If the two of us are really here for the money, then the person speaking to me right now wouldn"t be Yama Minamiya, but a ghost instead."
What an arrogant tone this woman had. Yan He angrily glared at her.
Instead, Wei Yuanwei unhurriedly sat on the wooden chair and poured a bowl of tea for himself. Her gaze fell on Su Ye as if nothing had happened, and his eyelashes trembled imperceptibly. The smile on Wei Yuanwei"s face grew even wider.
"Shopkeeper Yan, there is no need to be angry. If you were to hear what I am about to say, perhaps you would have to crawl on the ground and thank me."
Yan He"s eyes seemed to shoot out cold arrows. Who did she think she was to be so wild and untamed, so sharp and cold, so ignorant of the limits of heaven and earth?
"Manager Yan, do you know that the woman in your embrace is not your Flower of Interpretation? She is a poisonous scorpion, a poisonous scorpion that wants you to die?" Wei Yuanwei"s eyes were filled with coldness.
Perhaps because he was bewitched by the girl in front of him, Yan He actually released Su Ye suddenly. Su Ye"s body staggered a few times before standing still.
Seeing Yan He"s reaction, Su Ye tightly held onto Yan He"s sleeves and cried, "Husband, don"t listen to the slanderous words of others. She and that man are siblings, she can say anything for brother to get rid of his sin."
He was not frustrated by Su Ye"s endless crying, but was rather ashamed of his actions just now. He was actually bewitched by a girl, and even now, he still could not believe that the girl"s aura was too strong.
