C30 A Beautiful and Seductive Femme Fatale!
The words echoed in Yuvyuv's mind, "Fifth Sister, she deserves it," and she froze.
Turning her head, she looked at her younger brother and called out, "Zijun?"
She had never truly understood the boy in front of her. At this moment, she was taken aback by the cold, emotionless gaze of her nine-year-old brother.
"Fifth Sister, she did it on purpose. She wanted to harm you," Ye Zijun said, staring coldly at the woman sprawled on the ground. "She deserves it."
He noticed Yuvyuv's strange look and frowned. "Fifth Sister, am I wrong? Or are you going to let someone who tried to hurt you off the hook and embarrass our family?"
"Hey, Ye Xiaoqi, kids shouldn't talk about fighting and killing so casually."
Yuvyuv cleared her throat. Before Ye Zijun could protest, she suddenly turned and, without warning, raised the whip in her hand.
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, the whip cracked sharply against the woman who was trying to get up from the ground.
"Ah, Yuvyuv, how dare you hit me?" the woman cried out in pain, her face turning pale.
The onlookers were startled by the sudden lash. Just moments ago, they heard this delicate-looking girl scolding her brother for talking about violence, and now she was the one striking out.
The crowd eyed the siblings warily, taking a step back. Some whispered that these two were trouble.
Someone recognized the girl with the whip as the notorious Fifth Miss Ye, known throughout the city for being spoiled and unruly.
Quickly, the crowd retreated further, not wanting to provoke the troublesome girl.
"Yes, I hit her. So what? Who is this malicious woman who thought she could ruin someone else's life?"
Ye Yuvyuv flashed a charming smile, lifting the woman's face, which was hidden by disheveled hair, with her whip. Feigning surprise, she exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Wanlin?"
The onlookers, recognizing her, murmured softly among themselves.
The Su family was a prominent and wealthy household in the city. They were in the salt trade, and salt has always been an essential ingredient in people's lives. Without it, the human body can't function properly.
Trading in salt wasn't something just anyone could do. It required a solid backing, and without it, no one would dare venture into this business. Moreover, the Su family didn't just trade; they held the rights to salt mining. So, their wealth was considerable, and they were a well-known family in the area.
The woman on the ground, whom Ye Yuvyuv had whipped without hesitation, was indeed the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Wanlin. She was a modern woman who had studied abroad.
"Ye Yuvyuv, stop making false accusations. I just accidentally spilled my coffee. Who would deliberately try to ruin your face? Stop talking nonsense and slandering innocent people," Su Wanlin retorted angrily, standing up with the help of her companions, clutching her back defensively.
Ye Yuvyuv laughed at her words, her smile full of allure. She was naturally beautiful, with an innate charm that was impossible to resist. Just a slight raise of her eyebrows could convey endless allure, and no man could withstand such natural seduction.
In her past life, she was envied and called a seductive vixen, the reincarnation of a temptress, a woman who lured men into trouble. Yet, Ye Yuvyuv felt no anger, only a sense of satisfaction. After all, having something others envied was better than being a plain and talentless woman.
Well, she did enjoy being a captivating troublemaker, a stunningly beautiful one at that.
Yuvyuv raised an eyebrow, stepping forward to stare at Su Wan's guarded face. A hint of disdain flashed across her striking features. "You accuse me of making things up and slandering good people?"
"Exactly! Don't think you can just throw your weight around Haicheng because of your father's status. Your family thinks being close to the Great Marshal Mansion means you can ignore the common folk. It's a menace to society..."
Su Wanlin's words were quickly cut off by a pair of slender hands that coldly gripped her throat. "Uh, cough..."
"Miss Su, did your family elders ever teach you that you can eat the wrong food, but you can't speak the wrong words?" Yuvyuv swiftly grabbed Su Wanlin's neck, her fingers chillingly pressing against her carotid artery. Her once bright eyes slowly turned red.
No one noticed the eerie transformation in Yuvyuv's eyes, except for Su Wanlin, who was gasping for air.
Su Wanlin's eyes widened in terror, staring at Yuvyuv as if she had seen a ghost, her face growing increasingly pale.
A companion who had come along reached out to help but froze upon meeting those unnaturally red eyes, their hand trembling in fear, almost causing them to fall.
"Why so quiet now? Weren't you quite lively just a moment ago?" Yuvyuv's voice sounded amused, yet it was a chilling laugh. Her fingers tightened bit by bit. "Su Wanlin, do you think our family is just some random group you can insult at will?"
Su Wanlin's face was a mask of fear, wanting to shake her head. She felt the threat of death but dared not move, acutely aware of the cold fingers pressing on her artery.
She was terrified that any movement might lead to her bleeding out and dying.
Only now did Susan Lin realize she had foolishly provoked the wrong person today. Normally, their encounters were filled with sarcasm, but today was different. This girl seemed more like a ghost emerging from the depths of hell than a human being. It was terrifying; in her eyes, Susan saw something that resembled bloodlust.
Yuvyuv was genuinely intent on killing her.
Susan began to tremble uncontrollably, shaking like a leaf, her eyes wide with fear as if she might faint at any moment.
"Fifth Sister!"
Suddenly, a child's voice, cold and devoid of warmth, broke the tension. Yuvyuv's eyes, which had been burning red, softened slightly as a small, warm hand grasped her cold arm. "Fifth Sister, this woman is filthy. Don't let her ruin the red nails you worked so hard on this morning."
Zijun, a surprisingly strong young boy, pulled Yuvyuv's hand away. Turning, he led the slightly dazed Yuvyuv a few steps away from the crowd. "Fifth Sister, I'm hungry. Let's go home."
With that, Zijun led the still-dazed Yuvyuv out of the coffee shop, leaving the onlookers in shock.
"Wait, you can't just leave, Yuvyuv! You hurt me and tried to kill me, and now you're just walking away..." Susan Lin coughed, catching her breath, momentarily forgetting her brush with death. Feeling humiliated, she shouted after them.
