Chapter 451: Man-Eating Flower
Sheng An’ning was crying and laughing hysterically. She looked at Su Wan and a sinister glint flashed across her moist red eyes.
“Su Wan, let me tell you! It’s not your place to give advice. You’re just lucky. Do you think brother Xuecheng likes you? Which part of you is better than me?!”
Compared to Sheng An’ning’s madness, Su Wan was extremely calm. She nodded and her eyes were cold and indifferent. The corners of her lips were curled up in mockery.
“Yes, in terms of viciousness, hypocrisy, scheming to harm others, and in the end, using the whole world to feel sorry for herself by pretending to be innocent. Compared to all these, I’m indeed far inferior to you.”
She had not previously met Sheng An’ning. Just because Jiang Xuecheng married her, Sheng An’ning was able to use so many sinister methods.
The moment they met, Sheng An’ning was able to use a poisonous perfume to harm her. Later, she even joined forces with Gu Zihang to drug her with hallucinogens. In order to throw mud on her, Sheng An’ning even cut her own wrist and hurt herself!
Sheng An’ning had been so cruel to herself. No wonder she had betrayed the Jiang family, which had done her a favor, without even thinking when faced with the temptation of others.
How could she not be terrified when dealing with such a person?!
When Su Wan thought of her innocent grandmother who had died in vain, her heart felt as cold as steel. No matter how hard she were to punish Sheng An’ning, her grandmother would never come back…
Why was G.o.d so unfair? Why did a kind person like her grandmother die so easily?
Every time Su Wan thought of this, her eyes would burn.
Su Wan restrained her expression and suppressed the sourness in her heart. She fixed her gaze on Sheng An’ning.
Her gaze was as cold as an ice blade, ready to cut Sheng An’ning apart.
Sheng An’ning did not miss the trace of pain in Su Wan’s eyes. She knew why Su Wan was in pain. Seeing Su Wan in pain made her happy!
Sheng An’ning even morbidly felt that giving Mr. Chen the information about the birthday banquet was the best decision she had ever made in her life.
Although the price was very high, it was the only time that Su Wan was truly hurt!
If it had been Su Wan instead of Lin Xuan who died that day, it would have been even much better!
Sheng An’ning seemed to have gone mad. She stuck out her middle finger and sneered at Su Wan in disdain.
“Su Wan! Lin Xuan is dead. Are you sad? I’m so happy to see you sad. I had nothing to do with your grandmother’s death. If it wasn’t for saving you, how could she have died?”
“It’s all because of you, Su Wan. You’re a b.i.t.c.h. You’re a jinx. Look at your family. They’re either dead or in prison. How can you still live in this world?!”
The foul language was unbearable to hear…
Xu Ziyao, who had been sitting on the stool without saying a word, frowned when she heard that. She looked at Sheng An’ning with extreme disappointment.
“Enough!”
A woman’s voice that was neither too high nor too low rang out, shocking everyone back to their senses from Sheng An’ning’s cursing.
Jiang Haoxuan looked at Sheng An’ning in disbelief. He clenched his hands so tightly that his fingertips turned slightly white.
He really had never thought that Sheng An’ning, who was as elegant as a cla.s.sical G.o.ddess in his heart, would act like a shrew in this place and continuously spit out harsh words.
“An’ning, why did you become like this?”
Jiang Haoxuan’s eyes turned watery. The bitterness in his heart was indescribable.
It was as if a person had been living in his own dream. One day, the dream was forcefully shattered, and he was told that reality was the exact opposite of a dream.
Hearing Jiang Haoxuan’s hoa.r.s.e question, Sheng An’ning suddenly chuckled softly. Her heart was full of resentment and grievance, and it was fully ignited at this moment!
“You’re asking me why I became like this? Why don’t you see what you’ve done to me? Brother Xuecheng despises me so much, and you’re even dating Su Wan’s best friend!”
As Sheng An’ning spoke, she turned to look at the elders of the Jiang family sitting at the dining table. Her dark and stern gaze lingered on Jiang Zhiyuan, Xu Ziyao, Luo Xiuxiu, and the others.
“And you, elders. All of you say that you’re doing this for my own good. But look at how well I’m actually doing. I’m not even living as well as an outsider like Su Wan.”
“Because of her, I was forced to give up my favorite singing career. Have all of you ever thought of helping me?”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Sheng An’ning as if he was looking at a clown. His phoenix-like eyes were cold and filled with sarcasm.
“You brought this on yourself.”
These simple words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Sheng An’ning’s heart.
In an instant, Sheng An’ning’s face was completely drained of color. Her fingers, which were covered in red polish, were digging into her palm. She did not even know that her skin was torn.
“I brought this on myself?”
Sheng An’ning’s eyes were wet and red. She looked at the man she loved the most in her life, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She had done so many things for Jiang Xuecheng, but in the end, this man had retorted with these words.
The loud aura around Sheng An’ning was suddenly shattered.
She raised her eyes sadly. Her plump lips were bleeding from being bitten.
The taste of rust spread between her lips and her teeth. It was so bitter.
Sheng An’ning’s eyes sparkled. Her crystal-clear tears kept rolling around. She was no longer as fierce as before. She was like a rose swaying in the wind, so weak and pitiful.
“Brother Xuecheng, I’m doing this for you. Why are you doing this to me? I’m the one who loves you the most in this world. No one else is worthy of you.”
Sheng An’ning staggered. She cried and laughed like a lunatic. Her pupils dilated, and her voice became softer. All she could do was repeat the same sentence over and over again.
“None of them are worthy of you. Only me, only me, only me…”
As she spoke, Sheng An’ning rushed forward, wanting to pull on Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve.
However, Jiang Xuecheng was someone who was agile to begin with. With just a sidestep, Sheng An’ning missed him.
Sheng An’ning fell to the ground miserably. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in tears. She looked extremely pathetic.
Jiang Haoxuan felt a little sorry for her. He was about to help her up when he suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng say something.
“Haoxuan, do you still not clearly see this woman for what she is?”
On the surface, she looked like a fragile Mimosa, but on the inside, she was a man-eating flower. She used her innocent and harmless face to deceive everyone who believed in her.
Jiang Haoxuan was stunned. He looked at Sheng An’ning, who had fallen to the ground and only had an aggrieved look on her face, and his heart sank into a daze.
Then he thought about what Sheng An’ning had done after returning to the country. In the past, he was deceived that Sheng An’ning was just too weak and too kind, which was why she was easily taken advantage of.
However, at this moment, Jiang Haoxuan looked at Sheng An’ning and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He couldn’t help but take a step back.
Indeed, he had never seen Sheng An’ning clearly before.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Jiang Haoxuan had woken up, he couldn’t be bothered to look at Sheng An’ning again. He walked quickly to Jiang Zhiyuan and spoke softly.
“Grandfather, since the traitor who leaked the information about the birthday banquet has been found, what should we do next?”
