Song Jiaqi was taken aback. Su Nanqing had really changed. In the past, she would have rushed over angrily to hit her long ago.
Now, she could calmly retort, which gave Song Jiaqi a sense of crisis.
“Qingqing, is admitting your mistake really that difficult? Young Master Shen is right here. As long as you apologize properly and admit your mistake, Young Master Shen will let you off.”
Su Nanqing frowned and countered, “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I admit to a mistake, and why should I apologize?”
Su Nanqing’s words left Song Jiaqi stunned. Even at this point, she was still stubborn.
Gu Yushen angrily said, “Su Nanqing, there’s evidence, there’s video, and I’ve checked. Qiqi didn’t wrongfully accuse you. How much longer are you going to keep this up?”
Su Nanqing frowned and looked at him, “What are you? What right do you have to speak to me? Did I push your grandmother? You’re an outsider. If it’s not your place to speak, then shut up.”
“Su Nanqing, you…”
Su Nanqing coldly looked at Shen Muqing, “Young Master Shen, I heard you’re holding a banquet tomorrow night for this Miss Song Jiaqi to thank her for saving Old Madam. How about this—to show my sincerity, tomorrow night, I’ll kneel and apologize in public. How does that sound?”
Song Jiaqi was surprised. She wanted to apologize publicly? Then she would make her a public pariah, despised by everyone.
Shen Muqing looked at Su Nanqing with a half-smile. This face was stunning, but too malicious.
He stood up, smiled at Su Nanqing, and walked over.
Slap! A hand struck Su Nanqing’s face.
Gu Yushen frowned and stepped forward, “Shen Muqing, don’t go too far. Su Nanqing is my wife.”
Su Nanqing’s fair face instantly swelled. She looked at Gu Yushen and sneered, feeling a pang of heartache at the sight of this man. “Gu Yushen, don’t disgust me. For Song Jiaqi, how many times have you hit me? Don’t you remember? Aren’t you even worse? Get lost. I feel sick just looking at you.”
Gu Yushen frowned, a flicker of disgust in his eyes. She truly refused to repent.
Shen Muqing straightened his suit jacket and spoke calmly, “This slap is for not knowing your place. If you dare act arrogantly in front of Qiqi again, I’ll ruin that pretty face of yours.”
His gaze roamed over Su Nanqing with a wicked intensity.
Su Nanqing wasn’t angered either, looking back at him with a half-smile.
This man, as always, loved to defend others.
“Fine, Shen Muqing. I’ll remember this slap. Tomorrow night, I’ll return it tenfold. I’ll personally break both your hands.”
After saying this, Su Nanqing turned and left the hospital room.
Song Jiaqi was stunned. How dare she act so arrogantly?
Gu Yushen quickly chased after her.
Looking at Su Nanqing’s frail back, he felt agitated.
Just as he was about to catch up, he saw a very beautiful girl walking toward her.
“Darling!”
Su Nanqing was so surprised to see her good friend Lin Qiqi that she froze in place. “Qiqi!”
The two quickly embraced and jumped up together.
“Ahh… Qingqing, I missed you so much. It’s been three years since we last saw each other.”
Lin Qiqi stepped back, and upon seeing her swollen face, her pretty little face suddenly darkened. “What happened to your face? Who hit you? Let me go get revenge for you.”
Su Nanqing quickly stopped her, “Don’t be impulsive. I just ran into three dogs and got bitten by one. If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back? How disgusting.”
Gu Yushen: “…”
Lin Qiqi looked at her with a heartache, “I sensed you were in danger, so I came down the mountain to find you. You really did run into trouble.”
Su Nanqing was deeply grateful. Their Master Lin rarely left the temple, and now she had come down the mountain just for her—how could she not feel grateful? “Ah, thank you so much, Qiqi. I’m fine. I’ve run into a bit of trouble lately, but I can handle it.”
Lin Qiqi pursed her lips, “I know you can handle it. Who knows your abilities better than I do? As long as you’re not being love-struck, not stubbornly obsessed with Gu Yushen, you can solve anything.”
Su Nanqing smiled, “Oh! His Bai Yueguang returned. He got divorced three months ago, and I’m single now.”
Lin Qiqi was thrilled, “Qingqing, you’re not lying to me, are you? You really got divorced?”
