CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 229: THIS IS THE HATRED YOU SPOKE OF?

Rong Qiao’s heart slowly relaxed, yes, what she wanted was Ren Yixuan’s honesty, the truth in his heart.

"I believe you, Yi Xuan, I believe everything you say."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, her mouth close to his ear, "When the training ends, let’s get married, okay? We’ll be a hundred times happier than that bitch, and I’ll give you lots of children."

Ren Yixuan smiled, "Alright."

There were countless reasons for him to be with her, but the most important one must be that Rong Qiao loved him, and she listened to him.

That was enough.

After sending Ren Yixuan off, Rong Qiao happily left the airport and got into her private car.

"Miss, going home?"

"No, let’s go somewhere."

Her big eyes, innocent and bright a moment ago, now turned sharp and sinister.

The cold glint in her eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.

Since Ren Yixuan betrayed her out of hatred, she need not have any reservations.

She would ruin Su Xiaomeng’s reputation.

The car stopped in front of the hotel where Ren Yixuan and Su Xiaomeng had been together.

"I have something to handle inside, pick me up in an hour."

After speaking to the driver, Rong Qiao went into the hotel, pulled out a platinum card from her bag, and handed it to the front desk staff, "I need to see your hotel manager."

Rong Qiao followed the hotel manager into the office, explained her purpose, and the manager made a phone call.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a staff member came in and handed a USB drive to the manager.

Rong Qiao used the manager’s laptop to confirm the surveillance video, and it was indeed that night.

Ren Yixuan entered with Su Xiaomeng in his arms, Su Xiaomeng clinging to Ren Yixuan’s shoulders, moving restlessly like a drunk, mumbling.

Rong Qiao’s eyes turned red as she unconsciously cursed, "Bitch!"

Seeing Ren Yixuan and Su Xiaomeng enter the room together, and as the door closed, Rong Qiao couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart.

"Miss Rong... is it this one?"

Rong Qiao took a deep breath to calm herself, then said to the hotel manager, "I want this video to be the only copy in my possession."

"Oh, don’t worry, Miss Rong, we’ll do as you instructed."

"Also, if this matter leaks from you, you know what will happen to you."

The hotel manager nodded repeatedly.

Rong Qiao, with a cold face, was about to close the video when she saw the door of the room open again...

Her eyebrows twitched, and then she could no longer remain calm.

Rong Qiao stood up and said to the manager, "Take me to the surveillance room!"

The manager, unsure of what was wrong, still led Rong Qiao to the surveillance room.

Under Rong Qiao’s instructions, the staff called up several video feeds, and Rong Qiao stared in a daze...

More than half an hour later, she rose from the chair, turned her back to the staff, and said faintly, "Erase all these recordings for me, completely clean."

The command was tinged with a hoarse crying tone she couldn’t hide.

Clutching the USB drive tightly, she left the surveillance room and the hotel.

Sitting in the car, watching the scenery pass by outside the window, her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Ren Yixuan, so this is what you meant by hate...

After returning from the mountain, perhaps the only consolation was that Su Xiaomeng’s apparent mental state was improving.

Yes, only on the surface.

She still pretended, more diligently and earnestly than before.

At least, if her time in the shower wasn’t still so long, if she didn’t occasionally remain trapped in terrifying dreams in the middle of the night.

Yin Shixiu might even think she was fine.

But clearly, the reality was far worse than it appeared.

This period, Yin Shixiu hadn’t been to the company, staying home with Su Xiaomeng while investigating the class reunion incident.

Originally, he had others help him investigate, which would have been much faster, but later, he took it all on himself and didn’t let anyone else handle it.

Because he inadvertently found a urine test and a blood test report...

Clearly, the results were more severe than he had imagined.

Su Xiaomeng continued her routine of commuting between school and home.

The past few days, Yin Shixiu had been taking her to and from classes, even though she refused a few times for fear of disrupting his work.

He insisted repeatedly, so Su Xiaomeng had no choice but to comply.

What worried her was that Yin Shixiu’s attention on her was increasing, to the point where she suspected his rare absences from the company were also because of her.

Su Xiaomeng was naive; she thought she concealed it well.

Especially after returning from the mountain, she became even more cautious, afraid of revealing another flaw.

She knew well that whether this marriage would conclude depended on whether she could keep this secret.

Not only for Yin Shixiu but also for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, she couldn’t let the three most important people in her life be ridiculed behind their backs.

To let her blemish become a stigma for a group of people.

That day, after finishing her afternoon class, she rested under the wisteria trellis behind the teaching building, waiting for Yin Shixiu to pick her up.

Spring fatigue, autumn weariness; the comfortable weather itself made people want to doze off, let alone Su Xiaomeng, who couldn’t sleep at night.

Her eyelids had just glued to her lower lashes when a rhythmic sound of high heels approached from afar and then stopped in front of her.

Su Xiaomeng slightly lifted her eyes...her heart skipped, and she became fully awake.

Rong Qiao took off her sunglasses; she was dressed in a light yellow dress and a black leather jacket.

The ten-centimeter high heels elongated Rong Qiao’s figure, giving her a commanding presence in front of Su Xiaomeng.

She looked around with disdain.

It was the time for the second major afternoon class session, so there weren’t many students passing by.

But near the wisteria trellis, there were still a few students reading.

"Get up, let’s find a place where there’s no one. We need to talk."

Rong Qiao said to Su Xiaomeng, then turned and walked outside the trellis.

Su Xiaomeng watched Rong Qiao’s silhouette, feeling a bit tremulous, her nerves instantly on high alert.

The current Rong Qiao was like a ticking bomb to Su Xiaomeng.

She could explode at any time, shattering the reality Su Xiaomeng maintained with all her strength.

Su Xiaomeng knew Rong Qiao could do it.

In those initial days, she thought Rong Qiao wouldn’t swallow this insult and would find a way to expose the matter, so she remained anxious.

But after those days, life remained peaceful; Su Xiaomeng couldn’t understand at first, then she speculated.

Maybe Rong Qiao didn’t want the matter exposed more than she did.

She was a well-bred lady, the daughter of the Rong Family; having her man check into a hotel with another woman wasn’t honorable for her either.

Moreover, she probably didn’t wish Ren Yixuan to suffer public criticism.

Just when her heart settled, Rong Qiao came to her again.

They walked to the end of the school’s small woods; there was a wide yet shallow river called Moon River, over which spanned a bridge named Moon Bridge.

The scenery here was nice, but it was far from the teaching building and dormitory, so people rarely came.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Su Xiaomeng just opened her mouth when Rong Qiao raised her hand and slapped Su Xiaomeng’s face, making her ear buzz.

"You tell me why I’m looking for you!"

Just that one slap, Rong Qiao’s strength wasn’t light, yet she was just a daughter of a wealthy family, not that strong, but it staggered Su Xiaomeng back two steps.

Rong Qiao didn’t stop after that slap, she then grabbed and pulled Su Xiaomeng’s hair.

Both were actually about the same height, but Rong Qiao’s heels made her tower over Su Xiaomeng.

At that moment, Rong Qiao yanked her hair back, forcing Su Xiaomeng to look up at her.

"With you, how dare you seduce Ren Yixuan?!"

Facing Rong Qiao’s hateful countenance, Su Xiaomeng felt her stomach churn.

Seeing Rong Qiao now brought back the scene from that morning vividly in her mind.

Rong Qiao’s expression and Ren Yixuan’s merged, arrogantly staring at her, as if she was so filthy...

But who was truly filthy?

"Let go."

Su Xiaomeng said coldly, a tone she had never used until today.

Almost an order.

Rong Qiao narrowed her eyes, "Let go? I haven’t had a good look yet! Haven’t seen clearly what your filthy face looks like! Able to seduce my man!"

After Rong Qiao finished, Su Xiaomeng almost instantly chuckled, "I seduced him? Rong Qiao, if a man’s heart isn’t with you, then the one standing beside you is just a corpse."

"What did you say?"

Su Xiaomeng’s expression turned cold, her hand reaching under her armpit to grab Rong Qiao’s hair.

Rong Qiao was startled, but it was too late; Su Xiaomeng pulled much harder!

"Su Xiaomeng! Let go! Ah!"

Su Xiaomeng applied force, and Rong Qiao reflexively increased her grip, but Su Xiaomeng’s hair roots were almost torn out, yet she remained silent, yanked hard, and pulled a handful of Rong Qiao’s hair.

Rong Qiao let go in pain, her eyes glaring red and purple at Su Xiaomeng!

"Did Yin Shixiu know?"

She asked through gritted teeth.

Su Xiaomeng froze, unable to conceal her expression in time.

Rong Qiao curled her lips, "Seems like Brother Shixiu is still kept in the dark! Su Xiaomeng, you hid it well!"

Su Xiaomeng clenched her fists, taking a deep breath, "Rong Qiao, I didn’t seduce Ren Yixuan; he drugged me, he forced me..."

"Drugged you? Heh...you’re good at fabricating!"

"I’m telling the truth, whether you believe it or not. Aren’t you and him planning to marry? This matter, let’s not bring it up again, it’s best for everyone."

Su Xiaomeng’s tone sounded calm, but her heartbeat was rapid and fierce, afraid to reveal her panic in front of Rong Qiao.

Though their interactions were few, she knew Rong Qiao was unyielding when she held the advantage.
