Chapter 219: Chapter 219

During the process of applying the facial mask, Qin Shuang initially felt only a slight stinging on her skin.

Qin Shuang thought it was just due to dehydration of her skin, so she didn’t take it seriously.

But five minutes later, her skin was no longer just slightly stinging.

She hurriedly took off the mask and went to the mirror to check.

The result had her screaming in agony, "Ah... My face!"

The servant heard her scream and quickly ran in to check.

One look at Qin Shuang’s face had the servant retreating in fright.

Because Qin Shuang’s face was red and some areas were ulcerated, it looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Seeing the servant’s reaction, Qin Shuang became even more frantic: "Quickly get a doctor for me, if my face is ruined, don’t think you’ll get away with it!"

The servant, upon hearing Qin Shuang’s tirade, quickly contacted a doctor.

While the doctor was on the way, Qin Shuang busily rinsed her face with cold water.

Even after treatment, when the doctor arrived, Qin Shuang’s face was still swollen and the ulceration had multiplied.

After preliminary diagnosis by the doctor, Qin Shuang’s face was found to be damaged by sulfuric acid.

"Sulfuric acid? Then why when I first applied it, it was only a slight sting."

Qin Shuang really couldn’t figure it out.

If it was sulfuric acid, it should have been unbearably painful, and she should have quickly removed it.

But why did it take a while to discover the problem?

"The facial mask you just applied might have contained an anesthetic," explained the doctor.

The pain was lessened by the anesthetic, so she didn’t realize the severity of the pain until the damage had worsened.

Hearing this, Qin Shuang gritted her teeth and screamed furiously, "It must be that bitch Yu Dingding! It must be her!"

She had just sent someone to disfigure Yu Dingding’s face, and now the same trick was used on her!

So apart from Yu Dingding, Qin Shuang could not think of anyone else.

"Miss Qin, calm down. Your body can’t handle this rush, you’ll get sick," the doctor said, seeing Qin Shuang’s emotional outburst and hurriedly trying to calm her.

But how could Qin Shuang calm down?

She howled in distress, "My face has been ruined, how can you expect me to be calm?"

Qin Shuang’s emotions spun out of control, quickly triggering an asthma attack.

After the ordeal, she was rushed directly into the emergency room...

Ye Chen received a call from the Qin family while he was in Yu Dingding’s hospital room.

"Baby, this is the pigeon soup I had someone make for you, drink it while it’s hot."

Ye Chen poured the pigeon soup into a small bowl for Yu Dingding and intended to feed her himself.

Yu Dingding initially refused, "No need, I’m not giving birth, why would I need something so nourishing?"

Ye Chen said, "You’ve hurt your body, naturally you need something nourishing. Do you want some dumplings? I’ll have someone make your favorite mushroom ones."

Watching Ye Chen’s peach blossom eyes beneath a dark bruise, Yu Dingding actually felt quite distressed.

Although Ye Chen left her room last night, he had been guarding outside.

And this morning he was all about sending food and drinks, speaking softly and gently...

If there were no Qin Shuang between them, Yu Dingding might actually believe that Ye Chen had feelings for her.

"Young Master Ye..."

Yu Dingding was about to say something when Ye Chen’s phone rang.

Ye Chen glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly, then immediately answered the call.

"What? Shuangshuang is in the emergency room again?"

"Her face was covered with sulfuric acid? Why been covered with sulfuric acid?"

"She said it was Dingding’s doing?"

Ye Chen said this while looking back at Yu Dingding, noticing her staring at him.

Their eyes met, and he saw the coldness in the depths of Yu Dingding’s eyes and quickly looked away.

"Impossible, Dingding was also hurt by sulfuric acid last night and is hospitalized now!"

Soon, Ye Chen ended the call.

Yu Dingding sneered and asked him, "What now, is she rushed into the emergency room again? Isn’t she worried that one day her act will really kill her?"

"No, it’s not an act. She used a face mask containing sulfuric acid and disfigured her face, and she had an asthma attack from the fury," explained Ye Chen.

"A face mask with sulfuric acid? Why doesn’t she just say I splashed it on her? She always tries to frame me anyway, why not just be straightforward."

"Shuangshuang has indeed been disfigured, it’s not a lie. Her face is covered with burns..." Ye Chen looked genuinely worried for Qin Shuang.

But Yu Dingding couldn’t empathize, so she retorted sarcastically, "You didn’t witness it with your own eyes, so don’t be so certain. And even if she really is disfigured, that’s just her karma!"

Yu Dingding could sympathize with anyone in the world except for Qin Shuang.

Because it was Qin Shuang who destroyed her once happy life, turning her from a prestigious lady into the Oiran of a seedy establishment.

But Ye Chen wouldn’t let Yu Dingding speak so ill of Qin Shuang and hurriedly began to yell at Yu Dingding.

"Enough, Shuangshuang’s current condition is really dangerous! Can’t you stop cursing her with such malice?"

Yu Dingding chuckled lightly: "If cursing could really kill someone, then she would have died many times over under my curses!"

"You..." Ye Chen raised his hand, clearly intending to hit Yu Dingding.

But Yu Dingding didn’t dodge, instead, she calmly and composedly looked at Ye Chen.

That shallow, emotionless gaze caused Ye Chen’s hand to pause mid-air.

Facing Ye Chen’s hesitation, Yu Dingding could only mock.

"Ye Chen, don’t call me ’baby’ anymore. The one you should be calling ’baby’ is Qin Shuang! If you want to fawn over her stinking feet, don’t drag me into it. The two of you are the last people in the world I want to deal with."

Having said that, Yu Dingding left the hospital dressed in a hospital gown.

Two days later, as her wounds formed scabs, she returned to work at Night Color’s eighth floor.

Jiang Moxi heard the news and also came to work part-time at the eighth floor.

"Let me see your wound." While Yu Dingding was touching up her makeup in the rest area, Jiang Moxi came over to check her wounds.

It was then that they discovered the scar from Yu Dingding’s sulfuric acid burn resembled a cherry blossom.

But with the scabbing, it still didn’t look very nice.

After inspecting the wound, Jiang Moxi said, "I’ll prepare a medicinal powder for you. Once it heals, applying it will lighten the color. It will only show when your body temperature rises a bit, otherwise, it won’t be visible."

"Thank you!" Yu Dingding said, and added, "Also, thank you for Qin Shuang’s disfigurement."

Initially, Yu Dingding thought that Qin Shuang’s disfigurement due to the sulfuric acid mask was just a drama she directed herself.

But when Mo Yifeng found information that Qin Shuang’s facial damage was severe, and the Qin Family believed it was Yu Dingding’s doing, warning her to be careful recently, Yu Dingding believed it to be true.

And the only person Yu Dingding could think of who would take revenge for her was Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi gave a faint smile: "As long as you don’t think I’m meddling too much."

"How could I? These past few years, no matter how much Qin Shuang oppressed me, no one was willing to stand up for justice for me. Until you appeared and finally gave me some satisfaction."

Yu Dingding smiled, a smile that came from the heart.

She truly hadn’t felt this relieved in a very long time.

"What about Young Master Ye? Aren’t you worried that after this, he’ll leave you alone? Actually, I could make things more reasonable, making him see that Qin Shuang got what she deserved."

Jiang Moxi was about to share her thoughts with Yu Dingding, but Yu Dingding said: "No need, I think it’s best as it is now. Once I pay off my debts, I will leave this place with my dad."

After that day, Ye Chen hasn’t shown his face again.

Yu Dingding guessed, Ye Chen must be at Qin Shuang’s side now.

But it didn’t matter.

Because Ye Chen truly destroyed the last bit of attachment she had for him completely.

Now, she just wanted to quickly get rid of the last shackle, and then forget him completely, disappearing into the world.

Jiang Moxi asked Yu Dingding, "How much debt do you still have?"

"Twenty million," she said.

During the previous ambiguous period with Ye Chen, he would cheer her up daily by chatting with her through Alipay.

Yu Dingding, without realizing, had accumulated a few hundred million.

Moreover, she was very popular at the eighth floor recently and earned quite a lot.

She was now eagerly waiting to pay off this money, and then make a clean getaway.

Jiang Moxi had considered giving Yu Dingding twenty million, but she knew Yu Dingding would not accept it.

So, in the end, she picked a nice bottle of wine, and the two raised their glasses in the rest room.

"Here’s to you clearing your debts quickly, and the sky being the limit," Jiang Moxi said.

"I also wish you get what you desire..." Yu Dingding met Jiang Moxi’s toast.

The two exchanged a smile and downed their drinks in one gulp...
