C14 The Difference Is like Heaven and Earth
Since young, Su Xiaomi was not a weakling who only knew how to feel sad and wait for death.
Now, she was still the same.
Since she could not find any way to contact Shen Jibei outside, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only go home obediently.
She was not far from the Su's residence, which was located at the border of the east district. But returning to Su's residence was exceptionally difficult for Su Xiaomi because her leg was injured.
What could she do? She could only walk step by step back to the Su family.
She passed through the streets and saw a villa in the middle of the green trees. The villa was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated.
That's right, that was Su Xiaomi's home.
Su Xiaomi rubbed her legs as she moved closer to the villa. The ankle of her injured leg was so swollen that it was hard to tell its original shape. Her recuperation these days had all been in vain.
She endured the pain and walked to the door. Before she pressed the doorbell, the cold wind blew and the door opened.
"When did my house become as high-class as Ou Mingjue's villa?" She muttered to herself. She pushed the door open and walked in, puzzled.
There were several sports cars parked in the courtyard, and the garage was already full. If Su Xiaomi wanted to go in, she had to take a detour.
When she was sighing about the scene just now, she saw that the door of the villa's inner room was open in the blink of an eye. There was melodious music and laughter coming from inside.
Su Xiaomi knew that it was Su Ziyue who did it again.
Su Xiaomi subconsciously turned around and planned to wait for the people inside to disperse before going in. But she heard someone mention her, "Su Xiaomi. "
This was Su Ziyue's voice.
When Su Xiaomi thought of the conflict between her and Su Ziyue, Mi immediately had an ominous premonition. She could not help but walk to the door and stick her ear to the open door to eavesdrop.
"Su Xiaomi was kept as a mistress. Otherwise, why did she not appear until now?" Su Ziyue said and laughed loudly.
As soon as her voice faded, there was immediately someone who burst into laughter. They laughed and said, "She is your younger sister. Why are you talking about her scandal everywhere?"
Su Ziyue laughed even more exaggeratedly when she heard that. Her tone was full of ridicule.
Su Xiaomi did not see Su Ziyue's appearance but she could guess that Su Ziyue must be covering her mouth and laughing loudly. Su Ziyue definitely had a glass of red wine in her hand and the red wine spilled on her skirt. The air was filled with a sweet and ambiguous smell.
She had seen such a scene for many years.
When Su Xiaomi was in a trance, Su Ziyue had already started a new round of her belittling, "Don't joke around. I have nothing to do with her. She is an illegitimate daughter of a cheap woman. "
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the door and interrupted Su Ziyue's words. It successfully shifted everyone's gaze to the door. They saw Su Xiaomi standing at the door and holding the door handle tightly.
Su Xiaomi was wearing a long dress. Her clothes and hair were all wet. Her ankle was swollen and she looked quite embarrassed.
In comparison, Su Ziyue was wearing a gorgeous low-cut dress. The difference between her and Su Xiaomi was like heaven and earth.
"You scared me. " Su Ziyue held her chest. There was not a trace of fear on her beautiful face. Instead, it was full of ridicule. She seemed to be waiting for Su Xiaomi to appear, "When you came, at least make some noise. "
Su Xiaomi did not respond, she did not want to get entangled with Su Ziyue. Now she only wanted to quickly go upstairs and change her clothes.
However, if she wanted to go upstairs, she had to go through the hall. She could pretend to pass by Su Ziyue as if nothing had happened. Those guests could not act as if nothing had happened.
Su Ziyue glanced at her friends and they immediately understood. They moved their positions and blocked Su Xiaomi in the middle of the hall.
The crystal lamp gave off a dazzling light and Su Xiaomi felt that everything in front of her was like an illusion and it was too unreal.
She realized that she was stopped and turned to look at the people in different outfits. She frowned, "What do you want?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Someone started to laugh and ridicule her.
"Today is Ziyue 's birthday party. As her younger sister, aren't you going to stay and play?" The man sitting next to Su Ziyue rushed to say, "You can play with us. "
Did he think she was a prostitute?
She clenched her skirt tightly. She gritted her teeth and endured it, but her expression became even more serious, "You guys can play by yourselves, I won't disturb you guys as an outsider"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Su Ziyue. She slowly said, "Sister, I wish you happy birthday. " After she finished speaking, she immediately limped towards the staircase.
The guests saw that they could not bully Su Xiaomi, so they could only move to the side and make space for her.
But Su Ziyue was unwilling. She put down the red wine cup in her hand and quickly stood up to stop Su Xiaomi, "Wait, I have something to say. "
Su Xiaomi's shoulder stiffened. She let go of the wet skirt and turned her head. She asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
She shouldn't have asked, because doing so would only cause trouble for herself.
But she had no choice.
"I heard that you've been kept as a mistress. Can you tell us who you've been kept as a mistress? My friends are all curious. " Su Ziyue smiled, but her eyes were as fierce as vultures.
Su Ziyue wanted Su Xiaomi to not be able to raise her head in front of everyone. Only then would she have a chance.
Unfortunately she thought so but Su Xiaomi was not as stupid as her.
Su Xiaomi was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed softly. She was not willing to face Su Ziyue directly. She glanced sideways at Su Ziyue and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? Why would I be kept as a mistress?"
It was the same as before. As long as she spoke, there would be people laughing.
Under the light, she became the biggest joke.
Su Ziyue could not laugh anymore. She snorted and said sarcastically, "I don't believe what you said. Do you have proof?"
Evidence?
"Are you talking about evidence that you falsely accused me?" Su Xiaomi sneered and took out the necklace. She deliberately revealed the symbol on the back of the necklace. "Does this count? I already have Shen Jibei. I don't need to be kept. "
Su Ziyue had always regretted not being with Shen Jibei. Now that Su Xiaomi had provoked her so much, it would be strange if she did not go crazy from anger.
Su Ziyue raised the red wine glass and poured it on Su Xiaomi. She did not hesitate to curse, "Don't mention Shen Jibei. Do you think Shen Jibei really loves you? Let me tell you, he will also leave you. "
Everyone in the world would abandon Su Xiaomi.
She will make Su Xiaomi fall into this state.
"This is no longer something you can interfere with. " Su Xiaomi did not mind Su Ziyue scolding her. She just wanted to end this annoying conversation quickly, "I just want to prove that I am innocent and that I am not a kept woman. "
Regardless of whether Su Ziyue was willing to believe it or not, Su Xiaomi immediately turned her head and hobbled onto the steps.
"Stop right there. " Su Ziyue was so angry that she stomped her feet and revealed a dissatisfied expression.
Her roar caused the atmosphere to freeze but it did not stop Su Xiaomi's footsteps.
Su Ziyue was not willing to pay attention to Su Ziyue anymore.
She stepped onto the steps step by step. She seemed to have forgotten the pain at her ankle and walked very quickly. She wished she could run. But just as she thought so, she was blocked on the flat ground that led to the second floor.
Su Xiaomi suddenly saw a woman wearing a dark cheongsam. She was Su's mother.
She should call this woman Mom.
She raised her head and looked at Su's mother. She smiled warmly, "Mom, it's already so late, why haven't you rested yet? Did I disturb you?"
She spoke respectfully, but stepped back step by step, afraid that Su's mother would get angry.
Su's mother had already seen Su Xiaomi, how could she let her go?
"Don't be hypocritical, aren't you tired?" Su's mother crossed her arms. Her elegant makeup concealed her hillbilly temperament, but it could not hide the wrinkles on her face.
Without waiting for Su Xiaomi to respond, Su's mother continued. She forced her to go downstairs step by step, "Where have you been these few days? Why did you disappear after that banquet? You really weren't kept as a mistress? "
That banquet was only for upper-class people to attend. Su Xiaomi's status was low, but she was able to attend that banquet. Most likely, she was a kept woman by a famous person.
Su Xiaomi immediately thought of Ou Mingjue. She vaguely remembered what happened that night. She remembered Ou Mingjue's eyes full of love and her confusion.
These memories made her shy.
Su's mother saw that Su Xiaomi did not respond and wanted to throw a tantrum but saw her blushing. Su's mother was experienced and knew what Su Xiaomi was thinking.
Wouldn't that be better? She just wanted Su Xiaomi to let the public know about what happened that night.
Su Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and did not reply. When she reacted, Su Ziyue echoed, "She must have been kept as a mistress. "
They had said so many times that Su Xiaomi was kept as a mistress. Those who originally did not believe in this matter were now almost convinced.
Su Xiaomi was forced to the point of breaking down mentally. She simply did not reply.
It was only when she could not hold on anymore that she looked up and faced Su's mother. Su's mother looked at her angry expression and was stunned and did not speak anymore.
"Mom, if you did not ask me to do something, can you let me go back to my room first?" Su Xiaomi asked word by word with a gloomy face. She had obviously reached the limit of her patience.
Her entire body was drenched and Su Ziyue splashed red wine on her back. She was currently in a sorry state with the smell of wine all over her body.
Even if she could endure it any longer, she was a person with dignity.
The people downstairs were still laughing. Su Xiaomi could not continue listening and simply turned her head. She raised her chin and looked down at them. She was like a king giving orders to her subjects and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Don't forget whose home you are at. Don't know propriety. "
The crowd instantly fell silent.
Su Xiaomi only turned around after making sure that no one resisted. She moved her swollen legs closer to Su's mother. She smiled. Compared to the old Su's mother, even if she did not put on makeup, she was extraordinarily beautiful. She had a complete victory.
She stretched out her hand to grab Su's mother's hand, but Su's mother avoided it in disgust. She did not stop and continued to approach, "Can I go back now? Otherwise, I will stay and dance with you? Or should I discuss with you about your ability to create rumors?"
" Go back to your room quickly, don't embarrass yourself here anymore. " Su's mother scolded harshly and actually did not dare to look Su Xiaomi in the eyes.
Su Xiaomi lightly laughed and immediately dragged her heavy body up the stairs step by step.
She looked like a strange person.
