Chapter 28: The Scoundrel and the Vile Mistress Repent Together

Page 1/3

Chu Yifan seemed prepared in advance; he tilted his head to dodge, and the sound of a teacup shattering echoed sharply. Qin Wan’er’s head also appeared: “Yiyi, these days Yifan has been thinking about you all the time. If you remarry him, I’ll disappear immediately.”

At the sight of the two of them, Shi Yi felt a murderous impulse rise within her. Her red lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes dark and cold. Why was it impossible to kill in this era? She truly wanted to raise her silver spear and slaughter the two standing before her.

Su Jinyu’s face darkened as she shouted angrily, “Who let you in? Get out!”

Chu Yifan, as if his pride was wounded or angered, glared fiercely at Su Jinyu. “Su Jinyu, I’m letting this slide for Shi Yi’s sake, so don’t push your luck.”

Su Jinyu placed her hands on her hips, sneering coldly. “Chu, you scoundrel, don’t think I won’t hold you accountable. I welcome it. If you don’t, my life would lose so much fun. Yiyi has already divorced you; clinging on like this isn’t what a man should do.”

Chu Yifan’s face turned iron-gray with rage, but thinking of his mission, he forced himself to endure.

Shi Yi looked down on him contemptuously. “Chu Yifan, if you don’t want to get beaten, disappear from my sight immediately.”

Though a smile played on her lips, her eyes were ice-cold.

Seeing Chu Yifan’s ugly expression, Su Jinyu laughed heartily and gave Shi Yi a thumbs-up. “Yiyi, you should have done this long ago. Don’t waste time reasoning with fools or scum—they simply don’t understand. When the fight starts, stay out of the way and don’t get blood on you.”

Thud—

Chu Yifan and Qin Wan’er both knelt to the ground.

Shi Yi: ??

She wasn’t even their elder; why were they performing such a grand kowtow to her?

Su Jinyu smartly pulled out her phone and began recording.

Chu Yifan bowed his head in penitence. “Yiyi, I was wrong—terribly wrong. I shouldn’t have been blinded and betrayed you. I shouldn’t have insulted you with words, nor laid a hand on you. I’m a beast and deserve to die. Please don’t hold a grudge, alright? If you agree to remarry me, I’ll obey you completely from now on…”

Qin Wan’er’s tears fell relentlessly, her expression full of regret. “Yiyi, it’s all my fault. As your best friend, I secretly seduced your husband. I’m despicable. I swear, once you remarry Yifan, I’ll stay as far away as possible and never bother you again…”

Shi Yi placed her hands lightly on her lap, sitting upright with an air that dominated all around her.

She wanted to see what kind of storm these two fools could still stir up under her watchful gaze.

The two traded words, performing a pitiful melodrama.

Su Jinyu’s brows knitted in anger, ready to step in and teach these shameless people a lesson, but Shi Yi gave her a subtle signal to hold back.

Shi Yi propped her chin on her hand, watching them with great interest.

Chu Yifan and Qin Wan’er felt a flicker of hope—this acting ploy was indeed effective.

Chu Yifan continued to play the victim. “Yiyi, it was all my fault. I’m not human. I’ve thought it through. I liked you from the start, and the Chu family’s bankruptcy is my punishment. Can you forgive me?”

Qin Wan’er choked back tears and echoed, “Yiyi, I lost the baby I was carrying. I’ve thought it through. It was all my fault. You and Yifan live well together—I won’t disturb you anymore…”

Su Jinyu’s eyes bore disdain into these shameless creatures.

Their words of repentance were nothing but a vile insult to Shi Yi.

Spinning in circles, staging such a grand play—it was obvious they wanted to morally trap Shi Yi. If Shi Yi drove them out, who knew how they’d slander her online?

They would surely label her wicked, materialistic, ungrateful, and heartless.

Shi Yi had witnessed all of this, and Su Jinyu, seeing her friend being stuck with these clingy leeches, felt her blood boil.

She was about to strike when Shi Yi suddenly stood, took two coins from a pen holder, and calmly tossed them onto the heads of the two kneeling figures.

A burst of applause erupted.

Shi Yi pursed her lips, smiling sarcastically. “You two put on such a vigorous performance and deserve a hefty reward, but your acting is so exaggerated and poor that you only merit these two coins.”

Witnessing Shi Yi’s cheeky move, Su Jinyu chuckled. “With such terrible acting, even two coins are too generous.”

Chu Yifan was stunned, staring blankly at Shi Yi. At that moment, it was as if he had never known this woman. He was so miserable—how could she mock him?

Qin Wan’er trembled with rage. Was this how they treated beggars? What right did a fake daughter of the Shi family have to insult her?

She fought to suppress her fury. “Yiyi, how can you say that? I’m not acting…”

Chu Yifan hesitated, then hurried to defend himself. “Yiyi, you have to believe my sincerity. I truly know I was wrong.”

Shi Yi looked down on him, sneering. “Belated remorse is cheaper than grass. A good horse never returns to old pastures, especially when you’re a green, bitter weed.”

Chu Yifan’s face flushed crimson but no words came out.

Had this woman truly stopped loving him? He found it hard to believe.

Su Jinyu, impatient, ground her teeth. “Yiyi, shouldn’t we throw this scum out and wait for the New Year?”

Shi Yi’s eyes darkened. “Just kicking them out would be too easy for them.”

She had intended to seek justice and avenge the original owner by dealing with this adulterous pair, but they were handing themselves over.

Su Jinyu had already uploaded the video she just recorded online, along with Qin Wan’er’s hospital confession from before.

Shi Yi’s temperament was generous; as her closest friend, Su Jinyu was duty-bound to help her reclaim justice.

No scheming woman or white lotus nonsense—Shi Yi would never allow malicious labels to be pinned on her.

Chu Yifan and Qin Wan’er remained kneeling for half an hour, only to find no one paying them the slightest attention.

Shi Yi leaned back in her chair, enjoying tea and snacks with Su Jinyu, treating them as mere air. The occasional glances they sent were filled with contempt and mockery.

Qin Wan’er was about to burst with rage. Having miscarried just days ago, she was weak and pitifully sprawled on the floor.

Chu Yifan was no better; with a fractured leg and after kneeling so long, he could barely endure it and collapsed onto the floor like a stray dog.

“Yiyi… please forgive me… you love me so much, how can you bear to see me suffer like this…?”

Sobbing and sniffling, Chu Yifan curled up on the floor, his body shaking like a worn sack.

As he cried and repented, he furtively watched Shi Yi’s reaction. In the past, even minor injuries would have her worried sick.

But now? Shi Yi was completely indifferent.

After a long moment, Shi Yi smiled brightly and said, “Still acting?”
