When she heard those words, Mu Chuqing’s felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart, and she finally looked up at Chang Chu.

Her cold eyes were slightly narrowed, and a spark of fiery hatred instantly burst in them. Her face was pale, and her body shook.

The excruciating pain was akin to the smashing of bones!

The hatred emanated from deep within her!

She attempted to move her lips, but her body seemed stiff, leaving her in a numb state. The pain coursed through her entire body, and a bitter taste lingered in her throat, causing her collarbone to pulse and shook a little.

“You…”

Chang Chu looked down at her watch before she glanced at Mu Chuqing. Seeing the wan face of Mu Chuqing, she gave a haughty laugh, her eyes reflecting resentful hatred.

“If you have been smarter by choosing to leave Chen earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered this consequence. And I wouldn’t have to lose the most valuable thing to a woman because of your stupidity. Mu Chuqing, how many people have you harmed because of your stupidity?”

Mu Chuqing’s lips shook as she tried desperately to suppress the pain that threatened to overwhelm her. She spoke

“Chang Chu, the most valuable thing to a woman, is not her womb, it’s her conscience. Aren’t you afraid of getting retribution?”

Chang Chu gave a cold laugh. “Conscience? Since you have conscience, why didn’t you listen to Chen’s suggestion back then and give me your womb?”

“Slap!”

The moment Chang Chu finished her speech, a huge slap landed on her face. She staggered a few steps, and then the tip of her heels unbalanced, causing her to fall on the ground.

Customers from the restaurant looked toward their direction. Some had even stretched their neck to gain a better view of the commotion.

Su Yuan was already on her feet, shaking her numbed hands- a result of an over-exertion of force during the slap just now.

Then, she walked to the woman who was flumped on the floor, reaching out to grab her golden locks and forcefully pulling her up before spanking her face again.

“I shall slap you to death, slut!”

“Slap, slap, slap.” The sound of three consecutive slaps clearly rang throughout the restaurant. Everyone covered their mouths in disbelief.

Chang Chu’s face was swollen from the multiple blows, the side of her lips cracked, and blood oozed out. Her carefully-styled hair was long messed up, but Su Yuan still refused to relinquish her grip.

Su Yuan’s doughty ferocity was not one that was easily summoned. Furthermore, given her athlete’s status when she was in high school and university, her accumulated strength and agility were not just rumors.

Given Chang Chu’s petite figure, there was no way she could have survived the monstrous strength of Su Yuan, and she could only struggle to escape from her grip. But the more she struggled, the tighter Su Yuan gripped her, leaving her yelling in pain.

The restaurant manager came out to try and mediate the conflict, but he could not find a point of entry and could only watch as the fight continued between the two women.

Dazed, Mu Chuqing sat at her seat unmoving, neither participating nor stopping the fight. Her pale face had a mercilessly cold and bitter smile.

“Stop!” an enraged voice ordered from somewhere within the restaurant.

Mu Chuqing’s eyes flashed as she held on tightly to her bleeding hand.

Sheng Yuchen took big steps toward them. He cast a cold gaze upon Su Yuan, and his voice reflected utter iciness and ruthlessness.

Su Yuan was obviously not scared of Sheng Yuchen. She exerted more force on her grip on Chang Chu’s hair as if challenging Sheng Yuchen.

“Ah! Chen! Chen! Uuuuu…”
