Chapter 668 - 668 Fall on My Own
668 Fall on My Own
Lu Nuannuan had wanted to teach Shen Hanxing a lesson for a long time. Now that such a good opportunity was presented before her, she did not believe that Lu Nuannuan would refuse to cooperate! Thinking about how Shen Hanxing’s reputation would be ruined in the upper-class society in the future, Su Ling’s eyes were filled with pride, and the smile on her face grew wider. She was determined to skin Shen Hanxing alive today and let everyone see what kind of person she really was!
Lu Nuannuan, who had kept her head lowered and refused to look at anyone, finally reacted. She slowly raised her head, revealing a face that was too ghastly to look at. She had been beaten up by Shen Hanxing a few times, then soaked in seawater, and even cried a few times. Her eyes were red and swollen, and so were her cheeks. She was in an indescribable sorry state. It was no wonder that Mrs. Lin’s heart ached for her and she was so angry that she almost lost her mind.
Su Ling was very excited and could not help but urge, “Nuannuan, hurry up and tell me! Don’t be afraid, no one can hurt you anymore.” Seeing how miserable Lu Nuannuan was, she knew that she must have hated Shen Hanxing to the core. She wanted to see how Shen Hanxing would be able to get away with this today!
Lu Nuannuan’s lips twitched a little, and she could not help but look in Shen Hanxing’s direction. However, she did not dare to look at her. She wanted to, but she did not dare.
“Nuannuan…” Lu Nuannuan’s socialite friends felt uneasy at the sight of this. They tugged at Lu Nuannuan’s clothes and whispered, “Don’t forget that it was Mrs. Ji who risked jumping into the sea to save you…” Shen Hanxing was the one who saved Lu Nuannuan from the sea and the shark’s mouth. How could Lu Nuannuan accuse Shen Hanxing again? She did not want Lu Nuannuan to become an ungrateful person, and she did not want Shen Hanxing to go through all this and be misunderstood by others.
“So what if Shen Hanxing saved Lu Nuannuan?” When Su Ling heard the socialite’s words, she glared at her in dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice, “If it wasn’t for Shen Hanxing, why would our Nuannuan fall into the sea and encounter such a dangerous shark? As Nuannuan’s best friend, how can you side with an outsider?”
Su Ling’s dissatisfaction and reproachful attitude made the socialite who spoke frown. Lu Nuannuan did not disappoint Su Ling. She mumbled to herself, “That’s right. If it weren’t for Shen Hanxing, none of this would have happened.”
“Lu Nuannuan!” Upon hearing this, the socialite widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Lu Nuannuan.
Su Ling’s expression was very proud, and she almost could not hide her gloating smile. She said loudly, “Nuannuan, it’s good that you can think this way. Just tell me who caused you to be in this state!” Seeing her husband Lu Shaoyang looking at Shen Hanxing affectionately during her wedding was too much of a shock for Su Ling. She was in a hurry to get revenge on Shen Hanxing, so she did not notice the strange looks of the crowd. Everyone had witnessed how Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan had saved Lu Nuannuan, and how they had allowed her to board the ship first and ensure her safety. However, after Lu Nuannuan had been saved, not only did she not thank Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing, but she even held Shen Hanxing responsible. It was utterly shameless.
Lu Nuannuan wrung her fingers as if she was lost at a dead end. Indeed, it should not have happened. If she had been more clear-headed and not only believed Su Ling’s words, but also not so biased against her brother Lu Shaoyang, she would not have provoked and framed Shen Hanxing. Then, everything that happened today would not have happened. She was the sinner. She was too stupid and could not distinguish between right and wrong. She deserved all of this. At this thought, Lu Nuannuan closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, “The injuries on my body were caused by my own fall. I also fell into the sea because I wasn’t careful. It has nothing to do with anyone else!
“Lu Nuannuan, what are you saying?” The smug expression on Su Ling’s face instantly froze. She looked at Lu Nuannuan in disbelief and screamed, “Who can’t tell that the slap on your face was from someone else? Can you fall like this on your own? Tell me the truth…”
“Su Ling!” Mrs. Su’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly pulled Su Ling back and desperately gave her a look, “Don’t talk nonsense.” Su Ling was her only daughter. Even though she married Lu Shaoyang, she was still her precious daughter. She could not bear to see Su Ling make such a stupid mistake, so she quickly pulled Su Ling and stopped her from talking.
