Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: Can’t Escape the Net

Director Qu kneeled there, exhibiting her acting skills, convinced that this act would thoroughly disgust Suizi. She was certain Suizi was a "mute" who wouldn’t speak. When it comes to twisting the truth, wasn’t it all dependent on her own words?

Even if she couldn’t change anything, as long as it disgusted Chen Hansui, it was good enough.

Suizi was not disgusted.

But Wang Cuihua truly was.

Without waiting for Suizi’s response, Wang Cuihua pushed her away.

Although Wang Cuihua was now a woman of riches and honor, she had managed her family alone in earlier years and had gained considerable strength from farm work.

With one shove, Director Qu was sent sprawling to the side, her head banging against the wall.

Suizi held her mother-in-law’s hand, signaling for her to restrain herself.

Director Qu felt stars before her eyes; having just undergone surgery, she was weak and took a long time to recover.

A gentle voice whispered near her ear:

"Stop acting. I know what you are really up to."

"You, you’re not mute?!"

Director Qu broke out in a cold sweat at Suizi’s light remark.

A mute speaking was scary enough.

What was even more terrifying was the sentence Suizi had uttered.

Chen Hansui’s voice was so soft, yet her words weighed a ton, crushing down on Director Qu’s heart.

She stared at Suizi, trying to find some trace of bluff in her expression, observing whether Suizi was just putting on an act.

"The attack on Uncle Wang’s daughter-in-law, it was you who sent someone, wasn’t it? If he knew that his ’goddaughter’ had dealt such a vicious blow before leaving, do you think you could walk away unscathed?"

Suizi said this in a volume only the two of them could hear, then stood up straight and patted her shoulder, saying:

"I believe a high-IQ woman should save some face for herself. You can’t disgust me."

This sentence translated meant, I am much smarter than you.

Perhaps if Yu Jingting were here, he’d put it even more bluntly: with one twitch of your butt, I can tell what shape of dung ball you’re about to drop.

"How did you know?" Director Qu stood up from the ground, and Suizi, seeing her weakness, even reached out a hand to help her.

Director Qu gave her an even stranger look, while Wang Cuihua thought her daughter-in-law was too kind—this kind of vixen deserved to be beaten with a shoe across her face.

A big slap, up and down, left and right, until her nose is blue and face is swollen, teaching this bad woman who covets others’ men a lesson!

"Mom, go check on my mother, leave this to me."

"Are you sure?" Wang Cuihua looked at Director Qu anxiously. If she left, would Suizi be alright dealing with this woman alone?

"Yes, I can handle it." Suizi didn’t think a person who had just had an abortion could do anything to her.

Wang Cuihua kept looking back as she walked away.

Director Qu looked at Suizi as if she was seeing a monster, seven parts horror, three parts suspicion in her gaze.

Even now, she could hardly believe that her flawless plan had been seen through by the young woman before her.

"Even if I am to die, let me die with some understanding," said Director Qu.

At this moment, she dropped her pretense and affected mannerisms, instead appearing calm and composed.

"You are too confident in your own intelligence," Suizi admitted, acknowledging her ability to discern the darkness in human nature and exploit it for personal gain. "But the thing is..."

She gestured to her temples with her hand.

"You are overly confident. Our family doesn’t fit into your stereotypes, so your elaborate schemes don’t work on us. Perhaps they might have been more successful with a different family."

It could only be said that from the start, Director Qu chose the wrong target.

She shouldn’t have chosen Yu Jingting.

She thought that a man of Yu Jingting’s age, with blood and qi in full vigor, and a career on the rise, couldn’t possibly refuse the profits and beauties that fell into his lap.

But Yu Jingting simply didn’t fancy her.

Even if Director Qu believed that 99% of men in the world would fancy her, Yu Jingting was part of that 1%.

"You think that if my man became involved with you, you could use him to free yourself from your sugar daddy, and if you could provoke a conflict between our two families, it would be even better for you to profit from the chaos. Even if you gained no benefit, you could still disrupt everything all by yourself and use the opportunity to slip away."

When Director Qu heard "use the opportunity to slip away," her heart skipped a beat.

She knew she was insignificant and of little consequence, like duckweed without roots on a river, at the mercy of the gods’ battles overhead—just one stray spark could burn her and her entire family, leaving them with no place to be buried.

That’s why she had thought of escaping this way.

She believed she would take this secret to her grave, but hearing Suizi speak of it so openly, Director Qu’s forehead was drenched in sweat.

She didn’t know if it was weakness after the surgery causing night sweats, or if it was Suizi who frightened her.

Suizi held her hand, and they sat side by side on the rest bench, speaking in a voice that only they could hear, with a faint tone of declaration.

"You shouldn’t get emotionally agitated right now. I didn’t mean to harm you, otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you about this."

Director Qu was astounded by her magnanimity. How could this woman be so to her?

The warmth of Suizi’s grip remained on her palm. In her most lonely and difficult moment, the only warmth she felt was from her adversary.

"How did you know..." Director Qu had never encountered an opponent like Suizi.

Her innermost thoughts weren’t even known to her sugar daddy.

"I know because I respect every opponent I face. I carefully calculate the hand of every player that appears at our family’s card table. Without exaggeration, from the moment you showed illogical fondness for my husband, I started investigating you."

"But why would you think my fondness for your husband was illogical?" Director Qu was still curious.

Suizi looked at her without a hint of scorn and sighed,

"I respect you as an opponent, knowing everything about you. But you, you haven’t even fully grasped the basic situation of my family. I’m not mute; such obvious information you don’t know, if you don’t lose, who loses?"

"But what impact does your ability to speak have on this matter?" Director Qu still didn’t understand.

Suizi smiled slightly.

"It appears to have no impact, but it also reveals your arrogance. You are so confident in your own charm and intelligence that you don’t even bother to check the basic information about my family."

"My family’s business is a husband-and-wife operation. I’m not particularly good at pioneering new territories, so it’s my husband who takes on those tasks. I provide strategic support from behind. To come up with a perfect plan, you have to use known conditions to predict all possible future variables. That involves a key word, logic."

"Logic?"

"Yes. You can think of reality as a net. You, me, Mr. Yu, your sugar daddy, we’re all on this net. That’s logic. Once your actions exceed the bounds of this net, that’s illogical.

Let me give you a simple example: our meeting in the hospital was coincidental.

After you saw me, you wanted to annoy me, so you knelt down to me and my mother-in-law, and although it didn’t benefit you in any way, just to upset me made you feel happy. This fits with your twisted personality."

Director Qu’s mouth twitched; she really couldn’t argue with these words because she felt that she was indeed twisted at this point.
