Chapter 54 part 1

Translator’s Note:

I won’t be able to update regularly this week since it’s my exam week. I need to focus on preparing for my exams and studying. However, I’ll still try to update every other day, if possible. If there’s a delay in my update, I hope for your kind understanding. After my exam is over, I will update regularly. Wish me luck with my exam or buy me a coffee to lift my fighting spirit!

Xia Shutong covered her head, suddenly curled up, and squatted on the ground.

Her brain felt like it was being pierced by countless poisonous needles, causing throbbing pain.

Yun Feiwu couldn’t care less about her phone and immediately embraced her from behind. Her movements were too quick, accidentally knocking over the wine glass on the table and spilling red wine all over the floor.

“Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan…” Yun Feiwu softly called her.

Her throat inexplicably hurt, and her voice sounded strained as if she were crying.

At the same time, the audio on the phone started playing again.

Yun Feiwu’s arms were trembling slightly, but she effortlessly picked up Xia Shutong.

She carried her directly to the other side, onto the bed in their dormitory.

“Maomao, the phone.”

Yun Feiwu turned on the phone and handed it to Xia Shutong.

First, Xia Shutong sent a message to Qian Ling Ling, then she found the number she had been in contact with for the past few months and typed:

【Trap is set.】

The other side quickly replied: 【√】

Xia Shutong rested her head on Yun Feiwu’s thigh for a while before slowly sitting up and making a call to Xia Yuansi.

Yun Feiwu held her tightly, her fingers inadvertently tightening.

Soon, the call connected, and Xia Yuansi’s voice came through, filled with suppressed triumph. “Xia Shutong, have you received the audio?”

Despite being on the phone and unable to see each other’s expressions, a cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of Xia Shutong’s lips.

“Mhm.” She hummed lightly.

Her nonchalant response seemed to completely infuriate Xia Yuansi, who sneered and said, “Impressive, Xia Shutong. You can stay calm even now.”

After a brief pause, he chuckled. “Let me ask, that “Maomao” in the audio, is it Yun Feiwu?”

Xia Shutong held Yun Feiwu’s hand, her expression icy while her tone had a hint of playfulness. “Congratulations, you guessed right.”

“Xia Shutong, I’m not guessing,” Xia Yuansi’s tone lowered. “Apart from this audio, I also have plenty of evidence showing your improper relationship with Yun Feiwu. Should I send it to you for your own enjoyment?”

“Tell me, what do you think Grandfather would feel if he knew you’ve been using the Xia family’s resources to support Yun Feiwu all these years? And what about everyone else, how would they view her if they found out she’s been living off your support?” Xia Yuansi’s voice grew more sinister and excited.

Ever since he discovered the relationship between Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong, he had been having people track them. During this time, he had indeed gathered numerous photos of Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong together, captured during their outings.

Although the photos only showed them holding hands or embracing to the furthest extent, for Xia Yuansi, it was more than enough evidence.

Under malicious guidance, netizens would rather believe that the two have a relationship of patron and canary than just two innocent friends. Xia Yuansi has enough confidence to turn the lies into truth. Not only the netizens but also Old Master Xia is involved. Regardless of whether Xia Shutong has used company resources to raise Yun Feiwu or not, Old Master Xia would never tolerate such behavior.

On the phone, Xia Yuansi even let out a series of excited gasps.

Xia Shutong didn’t answer but had a mocking smile on her face.

Xia Yuansi doesn’t even know about the company’s upheaval. Ha…

“So, Xia Shutong, if you’re willing to listen to me and make a deal—-” Xia Yuansi’s voice abruptly stopped, then a burst of busy noises came from the phone.

Xia Shutong waited for two seconds, then directly hung up the phone.

She raised her hand and touched Yun Feiwu’s cheek. “Feiwu, I just called my younger brother. It was him who planned my car accident.”

Yun Feiwu’s eyes were filled with anxiety, but she still held her hand and nodded.

“But it’s alright, Feiwu. I’ve already taken care of it.” Xia Shutong let out a gentle sigh and felt her body grow weaker.

Recalling the details of the car accident almost gave her a splitting headache, and now she barely had any strength left.

Yun Feiwu continued nodding anxiously, holding Xia Shutong tightly as two silent tears streamed down her cheeks.

Xia Shutong weakly wiped away the tears on Yun Feiwu’s face and smiled softly. “Feiwu, let’s go take a bath now and then sleep well tonight, okay?”

It’s too late now, they can go to the Xia Family’s Old House tomorrow morning and completely deal with Xia Yuansi’s matter. It’s not too late.

Xia Shutong curled up weakly in Yun Feiwu’s embrace, her eyes flickering with a hint of ruthlessness. Well, solving this matter a little later will make Xia Yuansi suffer a bit more.

She wonders how Xia Yuansi feels after being locked in a small warehouse by the river all night. With his pig-like brain, he probably still hasn’t figured out what exactly happened.

Without answering Xia Shutong’s words, Yun Feiwu carried her as she requested and walked into the bathroom.

Throughout the entire process, Xia Shutong kept her eyes closed, resting her head against Yun Feiwu’s chest.

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every coffee an extra chapter would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support, so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
