I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 174

Anna reached for her cheek as Su Su spoke and her eyes darkened. Biting her lips, she replied “Wei said that she felt bad. She had not anticipated that things would turn out like that!”

“She feels bad? Ha!” Su Su started crying. As she wiped away her tears fiercely, she continued, “Why would she feel bad? You didn’t see the nonchalant look she had while you were being dragged away by those people. It was as if your fate was never her concern.

It’s impossible for her to feel any guilt. She was even disgusted by your disfigurement and was avoiding you. If you hadn’t looked for her, there was no way she would… “ Su Su was overpowered by her anger and did not mince her words. However, words once spoken, could not be recalled.

When Su Su noticed that color had drained from Anna’s face, she quickly grabbed Anna’s hand and apologized, “Sorry Anna! I wasn’t intending to hurt you, I… “

“I’m fine!” Anna hugged Su Su. “You shouldn’t be overthinking now. Just have a good sleep, I will be here with you!”

“Anna, I feel really unjust. I don’t want to take it just like that. She had been pitting herself against Shi Nuan over the years but what has that even got to do with us? Why is it that we are the ones who ended up suffering instead?”

 

Looking at Su Su, Anna was reminded of her pain. In fact, she had already seen Shi Wei’s true colors after she was disfigured. But Su Su had remained close to Shi Wei back then. After the incident tonight, Anna had thought that Su Su would hate Shi Nuan. She did not expect Shi Wei to be the target of her wrath instead.

“Anna, don’t you feel any resentment at all? Your face is like that because of her. You… “

 

“Su Su, let’s drop it.” Anna turned her head and said, “My face will recover in due course. Yours is a more pressing problem. You… “

“I want to sue them! I will take legal action against them.” When the topic turned back to herself, Su Su suddenly got agitated again. “I want to sue them, “ she persisted.

“Sue them? Who is ‘them’?” As Anna’s mind drifted to Qin Yue, she felt a jab to her heart. She held on tightly to Su Su’s hand and said, “Su Su, errr… “

“No, I can’t sue them. If I do that, everyone will know that I have been humiliated. Anna, what should I do? So many people have witnessed it tonight. Those people are all within the circle and they have all seen it. Tell me, what should I do? What’s going to happen to me!”

Su Su was unable to control her emotions once she thought about her ordeal tonight. “Anna, what should I do!”

“Su Su, just relax first, OK? Don’t think too much.” Anna held Su Su in her arms as she patted her back gently. “Fu Xicheng had already helped to settle the situation. What happened tonight would not be leaked out. No one else would know about it. But I will support you if you still want to sue them.”

“No, I am not suing them anymore. If I do that, the matter would be publicized. I’m don’t want that!” Su Su shook her head violently as she grabbed Anna’s hand. “Anna, would you look down on me?”

“Of course not! Why would I?” Anna caressed Su Su’s face and wiped her tears away. “None of this is your fault, Su Su. If you don’t want to sue them, we won’t do that but those two… “

“Where are they now?”

“I’m not sure but they are probably still there. Maybe Shi Wei or Fu Xicheng would know. I asked Shi Wei about it before I left with you just now. She said not to worry and promised to handle it properly. She would definitely be giving you a proper explanation!”

“Explanation? What explanation can she possibly give? Can I get my virginity back?” Su Su’s eyes darkened as she mentioned Shi Wei’s name. “I won’t let it slide so easily. I will make sure that she gets a taste of her own medicine.”

“Su Su.” Anna embraced Su Su and said, “Sleep now, don’t think about anything. You’ll feel better when you wake up tomorrow morning.”

As Shi Nuan sat in the car, the repercussion on her from the incident still haunted her.

Shi Nuan had already changed seats by this time. She was seated at the back of the car with Fu Chengyan, while Su Shaoqing became their chauffeur. Su Shaoqing noticed that she had been silent for a while. He took a look at Fu Chengyan and raised his eyebrows. “Mrs. Fu, why are you so quiet?” He asked Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan snapped out of her daze and sighed. “I don’t know what to say,” she answered.

“Tired?” Fu Chengyan held his wife’s hand and gave it a light squeeze. “Why is your hand so cold?” He asked, while furrowing his brows. “Shaoqing, turn up the heater!”

“Why didn’t you wear warmer clothes? Although it’s still not the coldest period of the season yet, the temperature at night is still a lot lower than the day, enough to sent you freezing.”

“Geez, I’m fine!” Shi Nuan looked at her hand, which was being tightly held by Fu Chengyan and chuckled, “Do I seem that frail to you?”

“I’m just bothered with what happened tonight!” Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan and continued, “Do you know that Su Su… errr, Shi Wei’s friend, she was… “ Shi Nuan had difficulty getting the words out. Her mind was occupied with the look on Su Su’s face just now.

Fu Chengyan held her hand even tighter and said, “Don’t be scared, you are not the one.”

“I know.” Shi Nuan replied before jerking her head up. “How did you know what I wanted to say? You knew what happened upstairs?”
