Shu Yao couldn't help but shiver, swallowing hard, and feigned composure, "Yes, how foolish I was before, letting you fool me with a few words, and I believed you. Don't you take me for a fool then."
She gave a self-deprecating laugh, her emotions filled with unspeakable bitterness.
Recalling how she had grieved and felt so much pity for him when she learned that Qing Sihuai had cancer, and how she had taken meticulous care of him, she felt like a complete fool.
No wonder Meng Jingwei had called her a 'fool,' it was absolutely accurate.
"That's right, you are a foolish idiot, not even half as smart as Meng Jingwei, and yet you're always so self-important."
Qing Sihuai dropped his pretense, no longer playing along with Shu Yao. "On the surface, you're pure and lovely, but in bed, you're incredibly wanton. I've always wondered, you're so wild, were you a prostitute at a nightclub?"
With their masks off, every word he spoke was like a knife stabbing at Shu Yao's heart, each blow fatal.
Insulted by him, the composed Shu Yao could no longer remain calm and couldn't help but curse, "Qing Sihuai, you damn bastard, you deserve to be crippled by Wei Wei, that's your best retribution."
After speaking, she yelled hysterically, "Retribution!!"
Even through the phone, Qing Sihuai could hear her heavy breathing, clearly indicating she was furious.
Instead of getting angry, he laughed, his eyes not reaching his smile, making him appear especially ferocious and terrifying.
"Retribution? Heh."
Qing Sihuai narrowed his sharp eyes, "Do you think I'll let you off? Yao Yao, you forced me into this."
"If you have the guts, come at me. If I, Shu Yao, am afraid of you, then I'm not a real woman!"
"Is that so?"
A deep, eerie laugh echoed from Qing Sihuai on the other end of the phone, a sound that made one's scalp tingle and their body tremble.
Shu Yao didn't know what Qing Sihuai intended to do, but his laughter truly made her heart tremble slightly.
"Yao Yao, do you know what 'group sex' is?"
Shu Yao: "..."
She wasn't a minor, how could she not know what it meant.
However, what did he mean by saying that?
"You, what do you want to do?"
Shu Yao clutched her phone tightly, filled with unease.
"I'll give you half an hour. If you don't show up, you'll face the consequences."
After speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
"Qing... beep beep beep..."
A sense of dread enveloped Shu Yao. She wanted to ask something else, but Qing Sihuai had already hung up.
His decisiveness made Shu Yao even more uneasy.
The lewd words Qing Sihuai had spoken echoed in her mind, and she was completely shrouded in fear.
After much deliberation, Shu Yao left the hotel, went home to change her clothes, and headed to the hospital.
In a hospital ward, she successfully met Qing Sihuai.
Qing Sihuai, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, leaned against the headboard, looking down at the computer in front of him. Hearing the door open, he didn't look up, only a sinister smile curving his lips, "Not bad, exactly thirty minutes. My little princess Yao Yao, you're so obedient."
Qing Sihuai then turned his head, his gaze cast a sinister look at Shu Yao, smiling meaningfully.
Shu Yao swallowed, nervous and uneasy, but still feigned composure, "I came here just to see your pathetic state. I heard you're crippled?"
Her red lips curved slightly, and with her arms crossed, she pretended to be calm and composed, looking at Qing Sihuai with a condescending gaze.
"What does it matter if I'm crippled or not? Didn't you, Yao Yao, already give me a son?"
Neither of them was willing to concede defeat.
"The son is mine, Shu Yao's, what does he have to do with you!"
"That's an interesting thing to say. If I hadn't slept with you, where would the seed come from?"
"You...!"
Shu Yao was so angry she was speechless. "What do you want me to come here for?"
Qing Sihuai pointed to his hospital gown, "As you can see, I'm a patient now. I asked you to come naturally to take care of my food and daily life."
"Heh, wishful thinking."
She seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Oh really?"
Qing Sihuai raised his eyebrows and beckoned her with a finger, "Come, let me show you something."
His gaze indicated Shu Yao to look at his computer.
Shu Yao's intuition told her there was something on the computer.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bedside. As soon as she got close, Qing Sihuai grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward. He released her wrist and then gripped the back of her neck, forcing her to look at the screen.
"Damn it, acting so pure in front of me, huh? Look, look at your promiscuous self in bed, exciting, isn't it? More stimulating than the Japanese adult films you've watched, hmm?"
Qing Sihuai said sternly.
Shu Yao looked at the video on the computer. As she clearly saw the scenes of naked men assaulting a woman, her brow furrowed, and her heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, a man in the video moved away, revealing the woman, and she realized that woman was none other than herself!
With a buzz, the strong fortress in her heart instantly collapsed.
Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape in shock, her face ashen.
"Impossible, impossible..."
Shu Yao shook her head mechanically, speaking word by word.
Clearly, she was in shock and had not recovered.
"Impossible? Our little princess Yao Yao doesn't recognize herself anymore? Tsk tsk, you're really cute when you're stupid. Hahaha..."
Qing Sihuai burst into unrestrained laughter.
That laughter was particularly piercing, and it hurt Shu Yao so much that even breathing felt painful.
Her body weakened, and she slumped onto the floor, utterly terrified and bewildered.
"Oh, what's wrong, my little darling Yao Yao? The floor is so cold, get up quickly, or I'll feel bad seeing you like this." Qing Sihuai spoke sarcastically, constantly mocking her.
The air conditioner was on in the room, and she was wearing thin chiffon pants. Sitting on the floor was indeed very cold.
But no matter how cold it was, it couldn't compare to the coldness in her heart.
Her dazed gaze gradually refocused. She looked at Qing Sihuai, suddenly stood up, and lunged at him, "What did you do to me... Ah!"
Before she could get close to Qing Sihuai, she was kicked away by a foot he extended, sent flying back two meters, falling in a heap, and then tumbling backward before hitting the wall behind her heavily.
Her head spun dizzily from the impact, and Shu Yao couldn't recover for a long time.
In her ears, Qing Sihuai's heartless laughter continued, "What did I do? Didn't you see it all? My little princess Yao Yao is such a greedy woman. To satisfy you, I've gone to great lengths."
His words, spoken as if in earnest, mercilessly pierced Shu Yao's heart.
She sat on the floor, dazed, even ignoring the pain in her head.
"Delete it, delete it, delete it..."
Mechanically repeating the word, she climbed up from the floor and, like a madwoman, lunged at Qing Sihuai, grabbing the laptop on the duvet and smashing it to the ground. She stomped on it fiercely several times, "Delete it, delete it, woo woo... delete it all!"
"Smash away. As long as you're happy, I can give you a hundred laptops to smash. After all, this video can be... backed up infinitely."
