Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Those Worthy of Hatred Are Also Worthy of Pity

"You might not believe it, but I was once a simple and honest girl back in my hometown,"

Director Qu rummaged in her pocket, trying to find her cigarettes, but Suizi held her hand and handed over the thermos meant for her mother.

Director Qu froze.

"Drink some hot water instead, don’t smoke, especially not right after your surgery—it’s bad for your health—and yes, I believe what you said."

"You believe me?" Director Qu sometimes didn’t even believe herself. She had played a role for so long she no longer knew who she really was.

"Yes, nobody is born destined to be a mistress, and very few are born evil. Besides, I looked into your background. Other than brazenly seducing my husband, you haven’t done anything improper during your term."

This showed she was a very cautious person, at least knowing enough to protect her own interests.

Since Director Qu’s sugar daddy was her godfather, how could she have blatantly seduced Yu Jingting, a top-tier young hunk, during her term?

It was because she reviewed Director Qu’s initial background investigation over and over that Suizi thought such a cautious person wouldn’t suddenly go crazy over someone else’s man.

This sense of inconsistency drove Suizi to continue digging and conduct a second background investigation.

Finally, the truth was uncovered.

If Director Qu really managed to seduce Yu Jingting, even her godfather would have to consider Fan Huang’s influence before trying to deal with her.

That way, she would have achieved her goal of withdrawing unscathed.

As for Yu Jingting, he went around in circles, passing messages through blind masseurs, and got himself out of the situation.

The law of events is to progress upwards; it seems like the same outcome, but change one step, and victory sways to Suizi’s side.

Meeting Suizi today, Director Qu could tell from her commanding demeanor that she had encountered a mastermind.

She was only a step away from losing everything.

Director Qu saw the true strategist and couldn’t help feeling desolate at the thought of the extraordinary girls raised by great clans.

"You people, you’re born winners at the starting line, enjoying resources and education far beyond ours, connections and horizons, crushing us like ants, victor and vanquished, you are free to mock me, laugh at me for using my body to escape a small town, laugh at my wasted scheming, still losing to you."

Suizi shook her head.

"What good does it do me to laugh at you? Although I don’t agree with your values, I won’t mock choices different from mine. Fate will judge everyone, so why should I add more?"

Suizi didn’t bother to explain.

Being born a winner at the starting line, that phrase, in her case, was only half-true.

In her previous life, she had the same starting point as this one, but she didn’t make it to the end.

Before her rebirth, she always felt that her original family affected her, leading to a tragic personality.

After being reborn, striving and working hard, those past sufferings that once seemed agonizing were now just soso.

"No one volunteers to come into this world. We can’t decide whether we have a good or bad start. Each of us has a rope of fate, and our family background determines its thickness. Those with good fate have a slightly thicker rope, but more often, the rope tends to break at its thinnest."

"Yes, I’m that broken rope. Would you care to hear my story?"

Suizi nodded.

Director Qu looked at the closed door of the gynecology clinic. Just five minutes ago, she was in there, saying goodbye to her first child.

But now, she was opening up to a relatively stranger, a woman with every reason in the world to hate her, yet she was willing to listen to her.

"I was born in a coastal city in the neighboring province, neither large nor small, neither good nor bad, much like my family. My parents were both workers, average in every way. If there was anything unique about this ordinary family, it would be that they had a beautiful daughter—me—and my mother passed away when I was ten."

Before the stepmother entered the home, Director Qu truly did not know how she was different from other children.

But after that, she understood that everything sung in the songs was true.

To have a mother is like having a treasure, but this realization can only be reached on the foundation of having lost one’s mother.

"My stepmother, I can’t say she wasn’t good. She didn’t hit me, didn’t scold me, never gave me the cold shoulder, nor starved me."

When Director Qu recalled these things, her gaze was elusive, and her voice was ethereal, as if she were telling someone else’s story.

"She didn’t abuse you, but you were also not present in her eyes, right?" Suizi’s words awakened Director Qu.

"How could you know these things?"

Suizi tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Because she once had a stepmother too, and understood very well that feeling of being treated like air.

Her mother had returned to the city, leaving her in the village.

Once, she went out of the village with Lun Lamei to run an errand. It was sunny and pleasant in the morning, but by the afternoon, the temperature had suddenly dropped.

Lun Lamei’s mother waited at the entrance of the village with a cotton-padded jacket. At that moment, Suizi realized what it meant to be an air person.

She was an air person in that family.

Sometimes abuse isn’t physical, that feeling of being ignored like air, of not fitting in, for someone with a sensitive personality, it’s even more painful.

"There’s not much else to say after that, I was focused on leaving home, to escape as far as possible, by any means necessary. After graduation, I was assigned to a small broken-down factory, where I met my godfather during an inspection."

Such a beautiful girl naturally attracted attention.

After that, she slept with her godfather and, just like that, became the Director Qu of today.

"Isn’t it a clichéd story? I thought I had escaped from home, that by finding a powerful backer, I wouldn’t be the Cinderella that anyone could trample on anymore. But this backer..."

The backer was about to fall, and Director Qu had sensed this, which is why she had circled around and thought of using Yu Jingting to escape the situation.

"I found out about your husband’s relationship with Fan Huang and thought that godfather wouldn’t dare to touch your family..." Director Qu met Suizi’s clear eyes.

Those eyes made it impossible for her to speak any words against her conscience. Maybe she had told too many lies, but just now, having lost a child, she also wanted to speak some truths.

"Apart from what I’ve said above, I also truly wanted to sleep with your man. He’s the most imposing man I’ve ever met. I’ve never experienced such a feeling—rest assured, I’ve thought about it; after sleeping with him, I would give him back to you. I never planned to claim him. I don’t want to offend your father. I just wanted to taste what a top-quality man is like."

For the sake of survival, she had even put up with a man like her godfather, who was a piece of shit. Now that she was about to leave this world of fame and fortune, trying a real top-quality man before leaving was quite natural, thought Director Qu.

Suizi’s mouth twitched.

"I truly will be grateful."

"I’ve told you everything I needed to say, thank you for being willing to listen."

Director Qu closed her eyes, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

"Losing to you, I don’t feel wronged. I accept it. Whether you plan to hand me over to godfather or have some other way to deal with me, I accept it all."

Dying at the hands of an expert, Director Qu felt she had no regrets left.

She told Suizi these things, not to gain sympathy, but simply because she wanted to speak.

"But, there’s something else I need to tell you. About the hempen rope I mentioned earlier, I only told you half of it."
