Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 656: Who Wouldn’t Like That Kind of Man

Lu Yutong’s voice was slightly hoarse, and her eyes shimmered with tears.

It seemed as though memories had been stirred.

"I... I wronged someone who liked me, and in the end, I caused his family to be destroyed," Lu Yutong’s heart ached bitterly as she thought of the man named Shen Mo.

She had brought the Shen Family to its ultimate downfall.

"You need to stay away from your cousin. Mom knows she has done a lot of bad things to you. But can’t we just let it go, can’t we? If this fight continues, it’ll only end in mutual destruction. We shouldn’t get involved in the Imperial Capital’s affairs anymore... Besides, she isn’t really your proper cousin, she’s just a bas—"

Lu Yutong realized her misstep and quickly shut her mouth.

Bastard?

An illegitimate daughter?

Xiang Mingzhu’s heart was shaken to the core.

If Lu Yingxue was an illegitimate daughter, then who was her mother?

It seemed Lu Yutong knew many secrets.

Even if Xiang Mingzhu still hated being abandoned in the past, she had to feign kindness toward her.

She needed to extract all of Lu Yutong’s secrets.

She could never let things rest with Lu Yingxue. Only when Lu Yingxue’s reputation was completely ruined, could the fire of hatred in her heart burn out.

Whenever the night was quiet, the humiliation from Zhao Chang and Lu Yingxue’s torment were like festering wounds that couldn’t be banished, tormenting her into sleeplessness.

Thinking of this.

Xiang Mingzhu tightly grasped Lu Yutong’s hand, raising her head with an expression of filial piety.

"Mom..."

Lu Yutong clutched her cheeks, nearly sobbing: "Mingzhu, you finally called me ’Mom’!"

"Mom, I’m hungry."

"Then after we visit the doctor, I’ll take you out for a meal."

Lu Yutong wiped her tears, crying and laughing at the same time.

"Alright."

Xiang Mingzhu appeared much calmer, which greatly reassured Lu Yutong.

She never imagined that her biological daughter only saw her as a tool for revenge.

...

Elsewhere.

Lu Yingxue sat in the master bedroom of the Garden Villa, at the dressing table.

She gently removed the gauze on her face, softly wiping her wound, observing it carefully in the mirror.

Qiao Xi’s Jade Skin Ointment was indeed miraculous, especially for fresh wounds.

It was far superior to the Beauty Cream she had tried to replicate. Lu Yingxue took out the last bit of Jade Skin Ointment and scrutinized it closely.

She had done everything she could.

But still couldn’t figure out the formula for Jade Skin Ointment.

Lu Yingxue was infuriated.

The thought of Qiao Xi’s proposed deal made her even angrier.

She wanted to take away that woman named Cheng!

Her father would never agree, but could she just sit back and watch a scar form on her face?

The longer she delayed, the more likely a scar would remain.

Then it would be too late.

Lu Yingxue applied the last bit of Jade Skin Ointment to her wound, then picked up her phone and dialed the manager of Yingyue Pavilion: "Hello, did you manage to get any Jade Skin Ointment today? I don’t care what it costs, as long as you can get it out."

If the amount was sufficient, she wouldn’t need to beg Qiao Xi.

The manager of Yingyue Pavilion sounded flustered: "Miss Lu, we couldn’t get anything today. Furong Beauty Salon has already issued an announcement saying their supply of Jade Skin Ointment is limited. It’s only available to premium members. Plus, all the staff handling Jade Skin Ointment were brought over from Haicheng, and they’re exceptionally loyal. So..."

Not a single bit was obtained.

"Miss Lu, our methods aren’t working anymore. Perhaps you need to think of something else?"

Lu Yingxue abruptly hung up, her belly filled with rage.

Qiao Xi deliberately wanted to drive her to a dead end.

She tried to calm her breathing.

After re-bandaging her wound, she stepped out, only to run into Ye Ying, who was staying at the villa.

Lu Yingxue felt her fury ignite, and a thought crossed her mind.

She intentionally blocked Ye Ying’s path.

Ye Ying tried to go around her but found her way still blocked.

"Miss Lu, what do you mean by this? I just want to go downstairs for a meal," Ye Ying said softly.

She knew Lu Yingxue didn’t welcome her in this house, but she had to stay for a month to fulfill the terms of her deal with Zhong Yi.

After that, she planned to leave the country to pursue her studies and achieve her dream of becoming a woman like Xie Liuzheng from the Xie Family.

"What’s the rush to eat?"

Lu Yingxue showed no pretense in front of Ye Ying. She pushed her into the room.

Her hands forcefully tugged at the high neckline of Ye Ying’s sweater.

"What are you doing!"

Ye Ying screamed.

Caught off guard, she was pinned down by Lu Yingxue, who had precise strength in her hands from years of practice as a doctor.

Pressing her down, Lu Yingxue ripped open Ye Ying’s collar and noticed that the scars on her neck appeared to have faded slightly.

She stripped Ye Ying of her top, leaving her in her undergarments.

"Lu Yingxue! Let me go! Let go..." Ye Ying fought back fiercely, trying to kick her away.

But Lu Yingxue, who had learned some self-defense techniques, held her firmly: "What’s wrong with me taking a look? At your engagement banquet, didn’t plenty of people see? What kind of chaste and virtuous woman do you think you are? Wasn’t it such a coincidence that you went to Zhong Yi at just that moment?"

She still didn’t believe it was a coincidence.

Consumed with a violent rage, she could only take it out on Ye Ying, her movements merciless.

Smack!

A slap landed on Ye Ying’s face.

"I’ve never seen such a brazen and shameless homewrecker! Slapping your face won’t hurt your belly! If you want to complain to Zhong Yi, go ahead!"

Ye Ying had been bullied excessively.

Seizing the opportunity, she grabbed hold of Lu Yingxue’s hair and yanked it viciously without restraint.

If Zhong Yi wasn’t here, she wouldn’t let herself be bullied by Lu Yingxue for nothing. She needed to fight back.

"Ah!"

Lu Yingxue called out in pain.

"Can’t we mind our own business peacefully? Lu Yingxue, you really think I’m an easy target?"

"If you were an easy target, you wouldn’t have seduced Zhong Yi. Don’t think I’m blind; I can see your feelings for Zhong Yi!"

Lu Yingxue was all too familiar with that kind of look.

Once, she had harbored warmth for Zhong Yi herself, but those feelings had long vanished.

Ye Ying’s behavior around Zhong Yi, the shy and bashful looks whenever they bumped into each other at home, made it obvious. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Lu Yingxue knew Ye Ying had feelings for Zhong Yi.

"Yes!"

Ye Ying shouted loudly, "I like Zhong Yi, so what? Who doesn’t like a man like him!"

But she was very clear that her connection to Zhong Yi was merely transactional—she wouldn’t dare to hope for more.

Right now, she was nowhere near worthy of Zhong Yi!

He was like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror!

"Who do you think you are to dare desire him?" Lu Yingxue asked coldly, "Do you believe I can make it so you can’t survive in the Imperial Capital?"

She had been angered enough lately, her heart full of frustration.

Eager to find an outlet for her rage, Ye Ying became a target of opportunity.

A faint smell of Jade Skin Ointment lingered on Ye Ying’s body—Qiao Xi must have given her plenty of it.

If only...

Lu Yingxue stood up and started rifling through Ye Ying’s dressing table.

"What gives you the right to search my room? Stop it!" Ye Ying climbed up from the floor, pulling at Lu Yingxue’s clothes and hair. "Stop it now!"

She clung tightly to Lu Yingxue, and the two of them started to wrestle.

Ye Ying was at a disadvantage.

From the hallway outside the room, maids poked their heads out, observing but too afraid to intervene.

Until, footsteps echoed from the end of the hallway.
