CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 261

"Seventh Master, Seventh Master, are you in there?"

Zheng Siyu suppressed her emotions, trying to ask gently, yet still, there was no response.

Just as she was wondering whether to find a waiter to get the key, she heard someone behind her give a disdainful "TSK, TSK." Zheng Siyu’s face stiffened.

Whirling around, she saw Ye Tong standing three meters away, arms crossed over her chest.

She was looking down at her disdainfully, a thick layer of sarcasm on her lips. "My parents thought so highly of you," Ye Tong mocked, "and even helped you prepare for so long. I thought you’d actually have some impressive abilities!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Siyu’s breathing grew heavy.

She looked at Ye Tong, her eyes full of hostility. "You, why are you here?"

She was beaten half to death just the day before yesterday; wasn’t she supposed to be bedridden today?

Ye Tong uncrossed her arms, took out a set of keys, and dangled them in front of Zheng Siyu.

Seeing the keys, Zheng Siyu turned pale with shock. "You... you actually have them? What are you planning to do?"

Seeing the keys in Ye Tong’s hand, something clicked in Zheng Siyu’s mind.

Ye Tong asked, "Do you want to go in?"

Her voice dripped with disdain and mockery.

Zheng Siyu: "..."

Her face involuntarily paled further.

She naturally knew Ye Tong wouldn’t be so kind as to help her.

Seeing the keys in Ye Tong’s hand now, she understood what was likely happening.

Ye Tong was also after the Seventh Master!

This vile woman! Does she even know about the relationship between the Seventh Master and Xiao Shuo?

She slept with the nephew, and now she’s trying to seduce the uncle? She’s certainly audacious!

Facing Ye Tong’s determined gaze, Zheng Siyu trembled with anger. "You, you can’t do this!"

If Ye Tong ended up with the Seventh Master, not to mention how scandalous it would be, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to her aunt and uncle.

Worse, she might even lose her standing with her aunt and uncle!

Seeing that Zheng Siyu had figured it out, Ye Tong let out a cold laugh. "And why can’t I?"

"Zheng Siyu, you’re nothing but a dog in the Ye Family. Do you really think you’re worthy of being the noble Madam of the Xiao Family’s Seventh Master?"

Zheng Siyu’s breath hitched.

Facing Ye Tong’s hateful gaze, she grew so angry her chest heaved. "I-I’m not worthy? Then are you?"

Ye Tong didn’t answer, but her eyes were as dangerous as if laced with poison.

Zheng Siyu felt a chill down her spine under that gaze, but she forced herself to straighten up. "Don’t forget about you and the Third Young Master. You’re the woman he rejected."

"Even if you somehow manage to get by the Seventh Master’s side, he will never marry you; he’ll even find you disgraceful!"

"Shut up!" Ye Tong snapped, unable to tolerate it anymore.

Listening to Zheng Siyu’s pointed reminders, she had cut her off sharply.

She also knew why her parents wouldn’t consider her for such a good opportunity.

Because they, too, considered her sullied...!

She had slept with Xiao Shuo, had even been pregnant with his child, only to be ruthlessly abandoned by him in the end.

Why was she abandoned by Xiao Shuo? Wasn’t it because Ye Yuning and the Ye Family weren’t powerful enough?

If Xiao Shuo had actually feared the Ye Family, would he have dared to treat her like this?

Now, even Zheng Siyu dared to use these things to humiliate her. Ye Tong was so furious her chest heaved.

"And you think you’re so clean? Don’t think I don’t know what you did in college."

The moment college was mentioned, Zheng Siyu’s face turned several shades paler.

Because she attended university in Lingcheng, many things remained unknown to her family as long as she kept quiet.

To this day, in the eyes of everyone in her family, they still believed her to be very obedient and well-behaved.

At Ye Tong’s pointed yet vague words, Zheng Siyu’s confidence immediately wavered.

Ye Tong didn’t want to waste any more words with her. She simply took the keys, walked past Zheng Siyu, and moved to unlock the door to the resting room.

But Zheng Siyu grabbed her arm. "No, you can’t do this."

"Let go!"

"If Uncle finds out, he’ll definitely kill you!" Zheng Siyu cried out in panic, her voice laced with a heavy threat.

Such a threatening remark completely ignited the rage in Ye Tong’s heart.

She turned and slapped Zheng Siyu across the face.

Zheng Siyu was stunned, her mind blank. Clutching her cheek, she stared at Ye Tong in disbelief, unable to process that she had actually been hit.

Ye Tong glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of warning. "Try lunging at me again, and I’ll kill you!"

Her tone was filled with the menace of a she-devil.

Zheng Siyu, who had been about to step forward and intervene, froze on the spot, watching helplessly as Ye Tong unlocked the door with the keys and entered the resting room.

She inwardly ground her teeth, vowing to tell her uncle and have him beat Ye Tong to death.

Once inside the resting room, Ye Tong immediately locked the door from the inside.

Seeing the man resting on the sofa with his eyes closed, a powerful sense of possessiveness washed over her.

Hers. This man was hers!

Little did she know how dangerous her actions were in front of this King Yama...
