The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 502 - Chapter 502 Im sorry for saying something unpleasant

Chapter 502: I’m sorry for saying something unpleasant. Chapter 502: I’m sorry for saying something unpleasant. She faltered slightly without noticing and staggered two steps.

Those nearby saw what happened and immediately supported Chu Ling, preventing an unseemly scene.

“Oh, sorry, accidentally bumped into you. Oh, isn’t this Chu Ling? I didn’t expect to encounter you in such a place.”

Su Xinyan stood with her arms crossed, her face composedly cold as she looked at Chu Ling; her tone didn’t carry the slightest apology for bumping into her.

The others beside Chu Ling frowned slightly at Su Xinyan’s behavior.

However, at that moment, Chu Ling slowly spoke up.

“So it’s Miss Su and Director Wen; I didn’t expect to run into you here either. I’ve heard that the Su Family has been having a hard time recently; it’s rare to see you all in the mood to dine out.”

Wen Peipei’s face darkened as she tightly clenched her fists, staring at Chu Ling.

“Think you can talk to me like that just because you’ve become famous?”

Chu Ling let out a light laugh and looked at Wen Peipei indifferently.

“I’ll return that statement to you as is, for your most beloved granddaughter. Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she’s famous? Or is it because of that delusion that Miss Su’s eyes have grown to the top of her head!”

Chu Ling chuckled softly, her face full of sarcasm.

If one’s eyes haven’t grown to the top of one’s head, wouldn’t one watch where they’re going when walking?

And wouldn’t they say at least an apology after bumping into someone?

So direct, she clearly left them no face at all.

This Chu Ling had a completely different face in front of Su Ran and others.

Her sharp tongue did not resemble her at all!

Wen Peipei was so angry that she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Su Xinyan quickly stepped forward to support Wen Peipei, looking at Chu Ling with a displeased expression, her voice filled with restrained blame and reproach.

“Chu Ling, grandma is an elder no matter what, and she hasn’t done anything to wrong you; how can you, a newcomer who has just started, speak to her in that tone? Don’t you know what it means to respect the elderly and cherish the young?”

Su Xinyan deliberately raised her voice, which sounded soft and vulnerable, but each sentence was full of innuendo towards Chu Ling.

Her tone was restrained yet angry, fully reflecting the grievance of being suppressed by a newbie.

A crowd of fans had gathered at the entrance. Upon hearing Su Xinyan’s words, their chatter quieted down, and they began looking over here, murmuring among themselves.

Chu Ling could clearly see her purposeful act and, because of that, felt even more repulsed by Su Xinyan.

On the surface, she appeared gentle and hypocritical, but behind the scenes, she had done every bad thing imaginable!

She had always believed that there was a side of goodness in everyone’s heart and that a person couldn’t become bad without reason.

It was only after encountering these people that she realized some were fundamentally bad; there wasn’t always a compelling reason for it.

Chu Ling looked at Su Xinyan, who stood there righteous and seemingly kind but vulnerable, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

“Miss Su, Director Wen may be your elder, but she’s not mine. The virtue of ‘respecting the elderly and cherishing the young’ is deeply ingrained in our people, and I certainly understand it. However, not everyone can truly embody these words. Rather than questioning others, it would be better to reflect on oneself and consider why you don’t receive respect from others.

But, you Su Family members have always thought too highly of yourselves; every fault lies with someone else, how could you ever be wrong?

Director Wen might not have done anything to wrong me, but she meddles in affairs that are none of her business. I remember everything that happened at the press conference very clearly; now, Director Wen seems to have the time to worry about my business. Why? Have you settled everything at home? Has Miss Su’s mother been swept out the door yet?”

“You… you uncultured thing, just like the person Su Ran brought up, no manners!”

Wen Peipei’s face turned livid, her visage contorted with rage, and she felt an urge to tear Chu Ling’s mouth apart.

Su Xinyan and Tan Lirong stiffened, their expressions no longer able to hold, and the whole scene became excruciatingly awkward.

And Deng Jingru, standing to the side, couldn’t help but turn her head away–she had followed the press conference beneath Chongguang Tower.

That was precisely why she felt so awkward she couldn’t bear to look directly.

However, Chu Ling lifted her chin slightly, her expression tinged with a sense of relief and pride.

“I am very honored to be part of President Su’s team, fortunate not to have degraded myself by colluding with you in such an undignified manner, as ‘Those who stand for different ends cannot make plans together’.”

Wen Peipei’s face alternated between shades of green and white, her chest tight and short of breath, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

“You… you…”

“Chu Ling, don’t go too far!”

Su Xinyan’s beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she scolded.

“I’m sorry if my words are unpleasant to hear, in a bit I’ll have the manager send over a bottle of fine wine, as an apology for almost angering Director Wen to death.”

Wen Peipei swayed, nearly fainting from sheer rage on the spot.

If this continued, she wouldn’t be surprised if she was pissed to death!

Su Xinyan’s face was stern, her tone restrained yet filled with good intentions as she said:

“You are now a widely followed public figure, so be cautious in what you say and do. You’ve only just made a name for yourself, and you don’t want to ruin your future prospects with careless talk.”

Chu Ling curled her lips, “I will definitely take Miss Su as a role model, striving not to follow in your footsteps, because, after all, I don’t have the family background that Miss Su has or a boyfriend who’s always ready to clean up my mess.”

The fans at the door listened quietly to the conversation between the several people, then they started whispering to each other.

“That old witch Su Xinyan really knows how to stir up trouble!”

“She’s bullying Chu Ling again–I definitely saw her deliberately bump into Chu Ling just now!”

“If this white lotus dares to lay a finger on Chu Ling again, I’ll go straight up and tear her apart.”

“Right, we are Chu Ling’s bodyguards; nobody can bully her.”

Su Xinyan was shaking all over with rage, her face dark and ugly, while Chu Ling curled her lips and said to the people beside her:

“Let’s go.”

The others nodded, also feeling disgusted by Su Xinyan’s behavior.

Their group left with great momentum, not even leaving a glance behind.

Su Xinyan and Wen Peipei, among others, showed various expressions, each more spectacular than the last.

Seeing only them left, the fans showed even worse attitudes.

“Let’s go, let’s go. Chu Ling has left, and I don’t want to see them anymore.”

“Hmph, bullying people and still being so arrogant–it’s really shameless!”

“If they had any shame, they wouldn’t do such things!”

The fans seemed to really not want to see them; after Chu Ling and her group left, they also dispersed one after another.

Su Xinyan stood in place, tightly biting her lip; the stark difference in treatment was something she truly couldn’t accept in her heart.

Her beautiful face immediately showed a touch of heartache, hoping to find some comfort from Gu Heng.

“Brother Heng…”

But she saw him with a distracted expression, as if his mind was elsewhere, wondering what he was thinking about.
