Chapter 874: Only Killing Intent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Xiaoxun thought she would hate Han Mobei and question him hysterically when she saw him again. However, she was calm because he had become a stranger to her.
Han Mobei could no longer trigger her emotions, but she needed to settle some scores. The former asked, “Xiaoxun, is that you?”
He was so excited that he wanted to reach out and touch her. Since the cell remained closed, he could not reach her. He was stunned by her and recalled something from the past.
Han Mobei remembered how Yang Xiaoxun used to look at him. However, he realized the indifference in her eyes, no matter how excited he was. She differed from the Yang Xiaoxun he once knew.
“What’s wrong, Xiaoxun?” Han Mobei panicked. He would prefer it if she beat and scolded him instead of seeming so indifferent.
“I barely recognize you anymore,” Yang Xiaoxun said coldly, “It doesn’t matter whether you were right or wrong in the past. I know what kind of person you are. 1 only came to see what you look like as a prisoner.”
Han Mobei paled upon hearing Yang Xiaoxun’s words. He panicked when he realized how much she had changed. “You hate me, don’t you? I know you do, but please forgive me. I had my reasons for my actions. My mother lied and deceived me. My family are the ones who lied to me.”
Yang Xiaoxun sneered. “If you think you’re innocent, slap your mother around.’
Han Mobei’s mother often slapped Yang Xiaoxun when the latter was still in the Han family. Yang Xiaoxun would never forget those painful memories. “This isn’t you, Xiaoxun. You’re kind and pure. How could you—”
“Silence!” Yang Xiaoxun snapped, “You don’t have the right to call me that.
Since you’re not willing to do it, don’t expect my forgiveness.”
She noticed Han Mobei’s anxiousness, making her expression colder. Yang
Xiaoxun felt she was a fool in the past. She wondered how she fell for such an easily manipulated person.
‘I shouldn’t have saved him.’
Suddenly, Han Mobei’s mother began scolding Yang Xiaoxun, “How dare you provoke my son, you slut! Don’t even think about—”
Before Su Binglan could retort, Su Chun whipped Han Mobei’s mother.
“Ahh!” The older woman screamed in pain.
Su Chun said, “Watch it, old lady. Miss Xiaoxun is someone my master respects and adores. I’ll cut off your tongue if you raise your voice a ther again. ”
Su Chun exuded a murderous intent as she spoke. Her words shocked everyone in the Han family. No one wanted to be tortured before dying. “Madam, if you want to die, don’t drag us with you!’
“Yeah, if you continue to spout nonsense, we’ll kill you before anyone else does.’
The older woman was so angry that she could barely breathe. “Y-You little— Didn’t you all look down on that bitch, too?! Why are you suddenly speaking up for her now? She won’t spare you because you’ve become soft toward her.
“Didn’t you hear what they said just now? We’ve betrayed the country and harmed loyal people. Hahaha!”
Everyone knew how severe the Han family’s crimes were. Moreover, the authorities would soon execute them. Suddenly, Han Mobei slapped his mother.
Immediately after, she looked at him in disbelief, lashing out, “You…you dared to hit me?! Fine!” She was furious and began to hit her son back.
Yang Xiaoxun frowned as she watched the mother and son fight. She thought the two were the same. However, Yang Xiaoxun had failed to notice it before. She said, “My only regret in life is rescuing you, Movie. I should’ve let you die.”
Her words were like knives stabbing into Han Mobei’s heart. If Yang Xiaoxun questioned him hysterically, he would think she still cared about him. However, Han Mobei paled when he heard such hurtful words.
“Xaioxun, you—”
Yang Xiaoxun held a dagger and said, “l want to stab you to death, but it would only stain my hands. Since they’ll soon publicly behead you, I’ll make sure to watch.’
Her words were the straw that broke the camel’s back, causing Han Mobei to stumble backward and fall. He stared at Yang Xiaoxun, trying to convince himself that she was lying. However, he saw the killing intent in her eyes.
There was no hatred, only the desire to watch him die.
“No, that can’t be. You can’t…” Han Mobei shook his head. He could not believe that things had turned out this way.
“l protect Xiaoxun now,” Su Binglan said, “She’s one of the theater’s main actresses. Countless people have seen her perform. They love and adore her. You’re nothing to her, Han Mobei.”
Su Binglan remembered the first time she met Yang Xiaoxun. The latter and her grandmother only had each other to rely on. Yang Xiaoxun had burn scars on her face and was ashamed to leave the house.
Back then, Old Madam Yang and Yang Xiaoxun barely had enough to eat. Moreover, people constantly gossiped about Yang Xiaoxun because of the incident between her and Han Mobei.
Such gossip was not something ordinary people could endure. Even so, Yang
Xiaoxun bore the pain and lived on for her grandmother. Even Old Madam Yang worked hard to live for her granddaughter. Someone like Han Mobei could never understand that.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaoxun became adored by many. Everyone saw her as a celebrity and treated her with the utmost respect. Old Madam Yang even sold her pancake shop in Su Teng Village and moved to the capital with her granddaughter.
Yang Xiaoxun had worked hard to buy a house in the capital and Su Teng Village. She did not want her grandmother to work so hard and asked her to retire instead.
Whenever Yang Xiaoxun had time, she would bring her grandmother around the capital. Everyone recognized the older woman as Yang Xiaoxun’s grandmother and was respectful whenever they saw Old Madam Yang.
Su Binglan knew that the Duke of Chen’s younger brother adored and pursued
Yang Xiaoxun. Duke Chen’s brother was only a few years younger than Yang Xiaoxun.
Although the young man was from a noble family, he was not arrogant. Instead, he was kind and caring, with an excellent personality.
Su Binglan had even sent someone to investigate him. According to the information she had gathered, the young man was sincere toward Yang
Xiaoxun. After some thought, Su Binglan realized the young man was Chen Zhuzhu!s uncle.
Chen Zhuzhu once lived in Tenghe Town and bought Su Binglan’s candied hawthorns and tofu. She was one of Su Binglan’s first-ever customers back in the day. Su Binglan had a good impression of Chen Zhuzhu..
