Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 543

Chapter 543: You Are As Ugly As A Ghost

Lu Yi walked into the house of the Su family, it was his first time there, and he hoped it would be his last. He had never liked them, especially not after the incident of the Ye family. He despised them even more now.

Both Su Qingdong and Su Muran were seated as he ambled in. He nodded in greeting to Su Qingdong.

“Mr. Lu, please have a seat,” said Su Qingdong as he invited Lu Yi to his seat. Lu Yi promptly sat down and laid out a stack of documents on the table.

“I’m sure both of you knew very well as to why I am here today. This is the court summon. I am personally delivering it to inform Miss Su to present herself to the court in five days’ time. You should stay put within this period of time and, of course, cannot change your nationality. Well, the time is too short for you to change nationality anyway.”

Su Muran’s expression changed in an instant, her face turned pale and stiffened.

Su Qingdong warned his daughter to keep her mouth shut at this moment. It was all her fault but now, he had to clear up her mess. In Sea City, whoever dared to anger Lu Yi would have to face his scorching wrath.

He took the documents and his expression changed as well when he went through the document. Su Muran’s expression changed out of anger whereas his expression changed out of fear. The documents were concise and clearly stated that the assistant, whom she scapegoated, had revoked her testimonies and pointed Su Muran as the culprit behind all these crimes.

Defaming a celebrity was usually not a huge case, at most some sort of apology and compensation would have settled it. Furthermore, entertainment news like this would have quickly passed, especially with the help of the paid commenters.

Unfortunately in this case, it was not only Yan Huan, but also Lu Yi, the prosecutor of the Sea City, who was impacted by this. This crime could be a small one, it could also be a big one. At the very worst, she could be sentenced for being a rebelling extremist. Su Qingdong felt helpless.

He must stop Su Muran from attending court at all costs. The evidence and testimonies were infallible and complete, she would undoubtedly be indicted for the crimes if she were to attend.

However, it would definitely be impossible to find a loophole through Lu Yi’s tight grasp. He knew very well that it was absolutely out of the question to make him relent through the legal aspect.

“Since you have received these, I’m going to excuse myself,” Lu Yi declared as he stood up, not wanting to stay any longer. He nodded slightly to Su Qingdong before leaving.

He bumped into a young lady at the door.

She stared unblinkingly at him with a weird gaze.

He left, unbothered about her.

She let out a bitter laugh. He looked at her as though he had never seen her, he must have forgotten about her.

She felt painfully bitter. She was indeed sufficiently good, and yet he never noticed her.

She entered the house. Upon seeing anxious and worried expression on both the faces of the father and daughter, she rejoiced, letting out a miniscule smile. But it was unknown to her that Su Muran had turned around and caught a glimpse of her smile.

She surged with boiling rage in an instant, looking like an angry lioness, but she managed to hold back her rage with all her might.

“Uncle, I shall leave then,” Zhu Meina uttered to Su Qingdong. As she locked eyes with Su Muran, she relished in her suffering. However, this schadenfreude would not last long. She had clearly forgotten about an old saying as she made fun of people.

Great joy begat great sorrows.

A knock came soon after she closed the door behind her.

She assumed the helper had called her for dinner, so she quickly stood up and opened the door. A quick, unexpected slap greeted her when she opened the door, lashing across her face.

Zhu Meina held her cheek, her face was distorted. Her face was no longer cautious and turned ferocious.

Su Muran barged in and leaned on the closed door behind her.

She shook her wrist, raised her hand and gave her another slap. This slap was even more powerful and filled with pure spite. Zhe Meina’s face instantly swelled after the slap.

She did not ask why Su Muran slapped her.

She knew Su Muran would tell her that it was because she was cheap. Su Muran might have put up a facade of kindness and innocence in front of the public, looking like a pure snow lotus. But Zhu Meina knew exactly her true self, she was nothing but a shrew.

“Why, are you not going to ask why I slapped you?” Su Muran questioned as she caressed her wrist.

Zhu Meina merely held her cheek, she had almost swallowed the blood together with her teeth.

“Ah, I suppose you guessed it yourself,” Su Muran said mockingly as she patted Zhu Meina’s cheek. “It’s because you are cheap, you eat here, drink here, and live here, just like some lowly creature. If you have any dignity, you would have gone back to your own house.”

“Tsk, you thought you could win Lu Yi over with this face? Lu Yi is actually married to Yan Huan, haha…” Su Muran gloated. “Do you know Yan Huan? Have you even met her before?”

“Your looks are totally incomparable with hers. You are literally a ghost. You can slave away and carry Lu Yi’s shoes, and he still won’t choose you.”

Embarrassment flashed across Zhu Meina’s face.

With that, Su Muran felt intensely satisfied. She swung the door open and marched out. However, reality set in and she felt anxious again. But there was no need for her to be too worried.

Her father would do everything to protect her for the sake of the reputation of the Su family. She was a part of the Su family after all. She chided herself in her mind.

She was too careless, how could she forget to bring Lu Yi with her.

That man was truly a nuisance, what an annoying existence.

She took out her phone and called Lu Qin. She wanted him to help her, after all, he was from the Lu family. However, she could not reach him as he had turned off his phone. She recalled that Lu Qin was filming a reality show and there was no signal at the place.

Feeling frustrated, she hung up and crossed her arms. Her fingers were still numb. She drew her hands closer and found some traces of oil and sebum on them.
