Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 703 - 705, Apologize on Your Knees (Second Update)

Chapter 703: 705, Apologize on Your Knees (Second Update)

She hated!

One day, she would exact her revenge, mercilessly.

At that thought, Luo Yu clenched the blanket beneath her tightly.

"Yes, yes," the one-eyed gardener nodded vigorously, "This is Luo Yu, this wretched woman, who has been thinking of escaping ever since she returned last night! So I thought of a way to tie her up! This way she can’t misbehave!"

With that, the one-eyed gardener grabbed Luo Yu’s hair and forced her to raise her head, "Wench, look ahead, Madam Ninth has questions for you!"

What Madam Ninth!

Shameless!

Luo Yu’s features momentarily contorted as she struggled fiercely to free herself from the grip of the one-eyed gardener.

"Wench! You dare resist, huh! I’ll show you resistance!" The one-eyed gardener landed a punch on Luo Yu’s head, which would have gone to her stomach had he not been mindful of her pregnancy!

And during the beating, the one-eyed gardener always seemed to find a perverse pleasure.

After all, Luo Yu used to be a high and mighty young miss whom he could only fantasize about clandestinely; but now things were different—Luo Yu was no longer the untouchable miss but his property, a fact that made the one-eyed gardener ecstatic.

Taking advantage of the previous night, he had done all the things to Luo Yu he had wanted — but hadn’t dared — to do before.

Luo Yu, having been rattled by that unexpected punch, stopped resisting and just glared at Chu Jin with venomous intent in her eyes, guessing some of Chu Jin’s reasons for being there.

Perhaps, she could use this opportunity to return to the Chu Family and continue as the young miss of the Chu Family.

She could no longer stand the sight of this one-eyed gardener.

This disgusting man!

She longed to leave this place, to be away from this revolting person.

"Still daring to glare at Madam Ninth, huh! I’ll teach you to glare at Madam Ninth! I’ll teach you!" The one-eyed gardener slapped her three times in quick succession, leaving Luo Yu dizzy, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Chu Xiu watched Luo Yu with a pleased expression.

This woman really brought this upon herself!

It perfectly illustrated the saying, "An evil person grinds another evil person."

People like her deserved to be tormented this much.

Otherwise, it just wouldn’t be satisfying!

"Who let you glare at Madam Ninth? If you dare glare at Madam Ninth again, I’ll beat you to death!" The one-eyed gardener yanked Luo Yu’s hair, forcing her to look at him as he menacingly warned her.

Madam Ninth.

Hah...

Ironic.

How ironic it was, considering she was supposed to be Madam Ninth.

Why did the heavens treat her so? What had she done wrong? Why did everything that belonged to her go to Chu Jin? Why? It was infuriating...

Intolerable!

Intensely intolerable!

She was determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her!

Although that was what she thought, Luo Yu’s face betrayed nothing as she became markedly more docile under the one-eyed gardener’s fists.

Even though Luo Yu’s current situation was rather dire, Chu Jin felt there was nothing about her that warranted sympathy.

If Luo Yu had the slightest conscience, she would not have poisoned Zhao Yan.

Compared to what Zhao Yan endured, Luo Yu’s suffering was merely superficial.

This was just the beginning.

"Luo Yu, was it you who poisoned my mother with the gu toxin?" Chu Jin lowered her gaze slightly, asking.

"So what if it was me? What if it wasn’t me?" Luo Yu lifted her eyes to look at Chu Jin, defiant.

She knew Chu Jin was here for Zhao Yan.

As long as she held that trump card, Zhao Yan, she wasn’t afraid of Chu Jin! She would definitely return to the Chu Family! She would make Chu Jin return everything owed to her, without missing a single thing!

"Wench, still daring to talk back to Madam Ninth, huh?" The one-eyed gardener kicked her in the shoulder.

Luo Yu’s eyes were filled with suppressed rage, and then, suddenly, she looked up at the one-eyed gardener and said, "Go ahead, kill me then!"

If she was killed, Zhao Yan wouldn’t survive either!

Having Zhao Yan to accompany her in death, she wouldn’t be at a loss!

The eyes of the one-eyed gardener bulged, "Hey! Wench, you dare to defy me, huh! I’ll beat you to death today!" In his fury, he pulled out a stick and beat Luo Yu viciously on her back.

Luo Yu screamed sharply, roaring loudly, "Chu Jin! I’m telling you! If I’m beaten to death today, Zhao Yan won’t survive either! Aren’t you here to beg me to save Zhao Yan? Is this how you beg me?"

The last sentence carried a threat.

Chu Jin’s pupils narrowed as she caught the stick falling again and asked coldly, "Where is the antidote?"

Luo Yu’s lips quirked slightly, then she said, "You want the antidote? First, let me go, and then escort me back to the Chu Family with honor! Then announce to everyone that I am the rightful young miss of the Chu Family!"

"Luo Yu, don’t push your luck!" Chu Xiu had almost lost control of the anger inside!

How could Luo Yu be so shameless?

What time is it already? She actually still wants to return to the Chu Family.

Mo Zhixuan, standing beside her, also had a face filled with chilling coldness, his entire being emitting a powerful aura as if he could explode at any moment.

The surrounding atmosphere was so oppressive it made breathing difficult.

The one-eyed gardener was trembling so much he could barely stand.

"Do you believe that I could send you to meet Yama right now?" Chu Jin slightly curled her lips, the arc at the corner of her mouth three parts wicked, seven parts cruel. In her exquisitely delicate peach blossom eyes, there was nothing but capturing cold light.

It made it impossible for one to look directly at her.

"Of course I believe," Luo Yu bit her lip, "Go ahead. I, Luo Yu, will not utter a single word of refusal! On the road to the netherworld, having Zhao Yan by my side is enough!"

Luo Yu had resolved to face death. Rather than being tortured here by the one-eyed gardener, she preferred a swift death.

Moreover, she knew that Chu Jin would not gamble Zhao Yan’s life against her own.

From Zhao Yan’s words and actions, it was evident that she loved her daughter Chu Jin dearly. If Chu Jin were to easily forsake Zhao Yan’s life, then she would be truly heartless!

Therefore, Luo Yu dared to make such a gamble.

The stake was her own life.

If she guessed right, she would achieve boundless wealth and status; if she guessed wrong, then at worst, it would just be her life at stake.

Having fallen to such a state, she had nothing left to lose.

Indeed, after Luo Yu uttered these words, Chu Jin paused, pressing the wooden stick against Luo Yu’s neck, "Hurry up and bring out the antidote, or else I’ll make you unable to live or die at your will!"

Luo Yu felt the ruthlessness in Chu Jin’s words, and with closed eyes said, "I want to see Zhao Yan! Otherwise, even if you flay me alive, I won’t hand over the antidote to you! Just to tell you the truth, given Zhao Yan’s current condition, she cannot last more than ten days! And only I can create the antidote; you weigh the consequences yourself!"

Luo Yu was not lying about this. Given Zhao Yan’s current physical condition, she wouldn’t last much longer, even with Chu Jin’s medicine sustaining her.

Chu Jin naturally could not gamble with Zhao Yan’s life and had to throw away the stick in her hand.

But she would definitely not allow Luo Yu any chance of turning the tables.

Thinking of using Zhao Yan to gain an advantage was impossible.

Chu Jin glanced sideways at the gardener, then said, "Clean her up and bring her with us on a trip to the Chu Family later."

With Luo Yu in her current state, it was definitely inappropriate to go to the Chu Family.

"Sister!" Chu Xiu exclaimed anxiously, trying to interrupt.

A person like Luo Yu, if she suggested going to the Chu Family, definitely had no good intentions!

How could they allow such a calamity to enter the Chu Family’s doors again?

Wasn’t that inviting disaster?

Therefore, Chu Xiu was extremely nervous, fearing a repeat of the past.

Given Zhao Yan’s condition, she would surely mistake Luo Yu for Chu Jin.

Luo Yu’s objective was simple; she wanted to use Zhao Yan to stay in the Chu Family, and perhaps, she had even deeper schemes in mind.

Mo Zhixuan, however, was quite calm, showing no surprise at Chu Jin’s words.

He knew that Chu Jin would not abandon Zhao Yan.

He also knew that whatever Chu Jin did, she had her reasons and calculations.

In case something did go wrong, he was there to back her up.

"I have everything under control," Chu Jin gently raised her hand, halting Chu Xiu from continuing.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu had no choice but to remain silent.

She only hoped that Chu Jin wouldn’t fall for Luo Yu’s tricks.

The three of them left the room, leaving the one-eyed gardener behind to clean Luo Yu’s body.

Luo Yu was filthy; it was definitely inappropriate for her to meet Zhao Yan in such a state.

About ten minutes later, the one-eyed gardener brought out Luo Yu.

Luo Yu had changed into clean clothes, but her face was still swollen.

He was leading her out by a chain around her neck.

Luo Yu was in a sorry state now.

She never could have dreamed that she would end up in such a plight.

After changing into somewhat cleaner clothing, Luo Yu’s face was still swollen and bruised. Though she was still covered in wounds, she looked much better than before.

"Chu Jin, hurry and make him take off this chain from my neck," Luo Yu looked up at Chu Jin and continued, "Also, I don’t want this vile creature following me. Make him go away quickly!"

The sunlight outside was dazzling, forming a stark contrast with the darkness of the room.

Luo Yu suddenly felt grateful, grateful that she had finally left that room. Just an hour before, she thought she would never see the sunlight again. Unexpectedly, fate had been kind to her, allowing her to see the light once more.

She never wanted to return to that dark room again!

Luo Yu also did not want to look at the disgusting gardener anymore.

Everything about him made her feel nauseated.

Such a person was utterly unworthy of her!

With this thought, Luo Yu glanced at Mo Zhixuan out of the corner of her eye, standing beside Chu Jin.

The only person who can match her is now Mo Zhixuan.

Moreover, Luo Yu had always believed that the child in her belly was Mo Zhixuan’s.

Now Mo Zhixuan has been bewitched by Chu Jin, so he can’t see reality!

Once she returns to the Chu Family, she might even use Zhao Yan to get a meeting with the Mo family’s old lady.

The old lady of the Mo family cares so much about children.

She certainly won’t ignore her own!

She certainly won’t ignore the child in her belly.

Luo Yu became more and more excited, a triumphant light flickering in her eyes as she continued, "Chu Jin, did you hear what I said? Let me go at once! Otherwise, don’t even think about taking me back with you!"

This Chu Jin, since she has agreed to go back to the Chu Family with her, it indicates that Chu Jin is someone easy to manipulate.

If I threaten her with this matter, she will definitely obediently listen to me!

"You have no right to negotiate terms with me! Either stay or get lost! Remember, you only get one chance." Chu Jin lifted her gaze slightly, her tone was mild but tinged with an intimidating force that made one’s heart tremble.

Luo Yu bit her lip in humiliation!

That little bitch Chu Jin, she’s really infuriating!

Just wait, one day, she will trample Chu Jin ruthlessly under her feet.

Chu Jin is not the old lady of the Mo family; she won’t be led by the nose by Luo Yu!

Allowing Luo Yu to see Zhao Yan was already the greatest concession!

How could she possibly agree to any of Liu Yu’s other conditions?

There were two cars parked outside, a common one and a high-end one. The one-eyed gardener, dragging a chain, was trying to pull Luo Yu into the grey common car.

But Luo Yu stood outside the car, adamantly refusing to go in, staring straight at Chu Jin and threatening, "Chu Jin, I want to sit in the same car as you. After all, I am the young lady of the Chu Family. What right do you have to make me ride in such a broken car?"

Luo Yu’s face was resolute, giving the clear impression that if Chu Jin didn’t agree to let her ride in that car, she wouldn’t go with Chu Jin at all.

When it comes to threatening people, Luo Yu is quite skilled!

After all, she had threatened the old lady of the Mo family many times before.

But Luo Yu forgot that Chu Jin is not the old lady of the Mo family, Chu Jin won’t be threatened by her.

Threaten?

The word ’threat’ is frankly not in Chu Jin’s dictionary.

"What sort of ’young lady’ do you think you are? If you don’t want to ride in it, then go back," Chu Jin said indifferently, very casually, "One-eyed, take your people back, and make sure to lock up tightly after you return, just in case she’s not well-behaved and keeps dreaming during the day."

Having said that, she didn’t even glance at Luo Yu and directly got into the car.

Chu Jin understood people like Luo Yu all too well, she knew that Luo Yu wouldn’t let go of this opportunity, which is why she spoke like that.

Zhao Yan was now Luo Yu’s last lifeline, how could Luo Yu give up so easily?

Seeing Chu Jin act this way, Luo Yu panicked and got into the car without saying another word.

She had underestimated Chu Jin. This bitch not only had a scheming mind but also such merciless methods!

Even if she was not good in other ways, she had taken care of Zhao Yan for so long! Chu Jin actually had no sense of gratitude at all!

If it weren’t for her, Zhao Yan would have died long ago from missing her daughter!

And Chu Jin? She actually doesn’t know how to repay kindness! Such a person is truly ungrateful!

Luo Yu selectively forgot about the incident with the Gu.

If Luo Yu had not caused trouble and stayed in the Chu Family quietly, behaving herself, then perhaps, the Chu Family would still have had a place for her.

Unfortunately, human greed is insatiable.

"Drive," Chu Jin lifted her eyes slightly and spoke to Chu Xiu in the driver’s seat.

"Okay," Chu Xiu responded crisply, starting the engine and driving away.

The grey car behind quickly followed.

Both cars soon stopped in front of the Mo family’s gate.

Luo Yu was dragged out of the car by the one-eyed gardener. She looked at Chu Jin’s retreating figure with an unwilling expression, her eyes venomous and malignant.

If it wasn’t for Chu Jin, the person standing by Mo Zhixuan’s side right now would be her.

It’s irrelevant that Mo Zhixuan belongs to her.

It’s not only that, the Chu Family belongs to her too.

All of it, it’s all hers!

There are such people in the world, born to live by taking things from others.

Clearly, Chu Jin is one of those people.

Luo Yu detested Chu Jin through and through.

She hated that Chu Jin was prettier than her.

She hated that Chu Jin could play the konghou.

If she could play the konghou as well, what would Chu Jin be to her?

This Chu Jin, the bitch, has not only confused Mo Zhixuan to a complete bewilderment, but even Chu Xiu listens to her so obediently.

Calling her ’sister’ with such warmth and closeness.

I remember back when I was at the Chu Family, Chu Xiu would always call me "Sister Luo Yu."

But now?

Luo Yu truly doesn’t understand, what magic does Chu Jin actually possess?

"Miss, son-in-law, young master," wherever they went, there were respectful greetings from the servants.

The one-eyed gardener was pulling on a metal chain, following behind the three, and Luo Yu bowed her head, not daring to look at the faces of others, her hands clenched into fists, her sharp fingernails piercing deeply into her flesh without her noticing.

Luo Yu could have never imagined that one day she would return to the Chu Family like this; just a few days ago, she was the owner of this place, she was the one called Miss, but now, she was being treated like a dog, leashed with a chain.

Her head bowed lower and lower, almost touching her chest.

Luo Yu could feel that those servants, who had once been bullied by her, were now looking at her without restraint, a satisfied and mocking smile emerging in their eyes, as if they were ridiculing her, the once high and mighty ’Miss,’ now fallen to such a state.

She wasn’t sure if it was a hallucination or not, but snippets of whispered conversations reached Luo Yu’s ears on the breeze.

"Our miss is really different, that appearance, that temperament, I think she’s even more outstanding than Miss Xian Xian!"

"The real Miss is just different from those imposters."

"Miss and the son-in-law together look just perfect."

"That’s the genuine match of talents and beauty."

"Speaking of which, where is Luo Yu?"

"Hey, did you all see? That’s Luo Yu! Talk about karma, right? People like her really deserve it!"

"Ah! Is that Luo Yu? She doesn’t look like it!"

"Wow, Luo Yu is in such a miserable state now! Hey, isn’t that One-eye? Why is he so close to Luo Yu?"

"You guys don’t know yet? That filthy Luo Yu has actually gotten involved with One-eye. It’s said that the child in her belly belongs to One-eye."

"Wow! That’s explosive!"

"Luo Yu really isn’t picky! She would even want someone like One-eye?"

"That’s why she’s rotten! As long as it’s a man, she can’t wait to spread her legs."

"Who is Luo Yu?"

"Luo Yu is that one, the fake who always used to strut around in front of us!"

"Oh, Miss Luo? Didn’t she go to the Mo family to enjoy her life? Why is she back? And now she’s..."

"What Miss Luo? I heard she’s just a lowly daughter from the Ancient Martial Arts World, her status isn’t even as good as ours! And besides, she’s so cheap..."

The servants discussed without any inhibition, as if intentionally for Luo Yu to hear.

And there were even more indecent remarks.

These people, they had all been bullied by Luo Yu.

Now that Luo Yu was finally showing her true colors, not the high and mighty ’Miss’ anymore, they certainly wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to humiliate her to their heart’s content, avenging their past humiliations.

Luo Yu kept her head lowered, biting her lip so hard, these damn servants, how dare they speak of her like this! If this had been before, she would have already torn these servants’ mouths apart!

They actually dared to gossip about their master’s affairs!

They really don’t want to live!

But now...

A tiger fallen flat on the ground is ridiculed by dogs!

All of this, it’s all Chu Jin’s fault!

Chu Jin, that bitch, actually used such a vicious method to humiliate her! She’s completely shameless!

Just wait, she would soon take back everything that belonged to her.

These servants won’t be able to gloat for much longer!

Soon, she would be able to tear apart the mouths of these lowly people.

Make them kneel and apologize to her.

Make them regret today’s words and deeds.

As she thought of this, Luo Yu’s lips curled into a calculating arc, and at the same time, a sinister and venomous light burst forth from the bottom of her eyes.

As long as Zhao Yan was there, no one here would dare to touch her.

Zhao Yan was now the last card Luo Yu held in her hand, and also the most powerful one.

She could use Zhao Yan to sit back into the position of the Chu Family’s Miss, and also return to Mo Zhixuan’s side with her help.

Even the shrewd Old Madam Mo had been outmaneuvered by her, a little Chu Jin, she really didn’t view her as a threat.

Chu Jin, just wait.

Soon, the winner and the loser will be decided.

As they approached Zhao Yan’s bedroom door, Mo Zhixuan received an important call. He looked apologetically at Chu Jin, and before he could open his mouth, Chu Jin said, "Go ahead if you have things to do, I’m here with Mom, don’t worry about it."

"Hmm," Mo Zhixuan let out a syllable from deep within his throat, leaning in to wrap an arm around Chu Jin’s shoulder, leaving a light kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "I’ll come back to see you after I’m done with business."
