Chapter 20: Do you not realize that you’re very annoying?

She slowly walked toward the two of them, her frail and slender frame unable to hide the intense aura around her, eyes calm and undisturbed, inexplicably causing Su Xinyan’s heart to flutter with unease.

Su Ran stopped in front of them, the corners of her lips slightly raised in a mocking smile as she looked at the woman curled up in Gu Heng’s embrace.

“Su Xinyan, you’re truly detestable, just like your mistress mom. I don’t want to see either of you, yet you always fail to learn your lesson, jumping around in front of me. Do I, Su Ran, need to hide when I want to do something bad? I don’t like others splashing dirt on me, but since it’s been splashed, I have to splash it back.”

“Xiao Ran, what do you want to do?”

Su Ran glanced at Gu Heng indifferently, then turned her gaze onto Su Xinyan, her delicate and cold face showing no emotion.

Yet oddly, her very presence instilled an unprecedented sense of dread.

“Sister…”

Su Xinyan’s words were suddenly stuck in her throat, as her entire body was dragged out from Gu Heng’s embrace by Su Ran, grabbing her by the hair.

“I forced you to commit suicide? Huh?”

Su Ran grinned lightly, “Forget it, I can’t be bothered to take it down anymore.”

The words fell.

Su Xinyan, with her hair being pulled, was dragged forward and suddenly jerked violently.

With a ‘thud’, her forehead slammed into the wall, contorting her features in pain, dizzy and disoriented.

Everything happened so suddenly.

“Then why don’t you go die? Don’t you know being alive is so annoying?”

The pain from her scalp made her entire body lean backwards and ‘thump’, her forehead slammed into the wall again.

Su Ran yanked Su Xinyan’s hair forcefully, squeezing her delicate chin with one hand, and leaned in slightly, each word chilling to the bone.

“If there’s a next time, it won’t be as simple as just a couple of knocks.”

The words fell.

With a fling of her hand, she threw Su Xinyan back into Gu Heng’s arms.

The hospital room fell silent.

“Ah-!!”

Su Xinyan began to scream in agony.

Only then did Gu Heng come back to his senses from the shock, holding her tightly in his arms.

“Xinyan, are you okay?”

“Brother Heng…”

Su Xinyan bit her lip tightly, her face deathly pale, so dizzy she couldn’t open her eyes, her exceedingly patient and pitiful state evoking sympathy.

Gu Heng’s handsome face was filled with heartache and concern, the glaring and penetrating red on his face instantly turning grim.

He looked at Su Ran with a cold anger, his expression so icy that he looked as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.

“Xiao Ran, you’ve gone too far…”

Gu Heng was met with a pair of eyes concealing a glint of cold menace, as frigid as blades, their bloodthirsty gaze directly piercing his.

The expression on Su Ran’s face remained careless, her eyes deep and serene, like someone who had crawled out from hell, inexplicably causing a shiver in one’s heart, and the words Gu Heng was about to say were suddenly choked back.

“Brother Heng, am I disfigured… I… it hurts so much…”

Gu Heng’s unfocused eyes instantly regained their clarity. Su Xinyan looked completely disheveled, her entire face as pale as paper, a fine layer of sweat on her small face forming drops that rolled down her pallid skin.

Gu Heng felt a deep sense of heartache and immediately lifted her in his arms, his voice carrying a soothing tenderness.

“No, you won’t be disfigured, I’ll take you to the doctor right now.”

Gu Heng carried Su Xinyan, giving Su Ran a completely estranged look before turning and leaving the hospital room.

After the two had left, Su Ran dragged her weakened body over to the sofa and sat down.
