Chapter 335 - 120 A million arrows pierce the heart Reap what you sow_7
She was marrying into a wealthy family, while Ah Xian was being kicked out of one.
More critically, what if Ah Xian’s situation implicated Yun Shu?
She felt a flash of annoyance toward Kang Jinxian in her heart, for her reckless playfulness without considering the timing. Once Yun Shu had married in and given birth to a son to secure her position, she could do as she pleased.
In fact, she felt a bit uneasy, an uneasiness of unknown origin; recently, she would often feel irrational panic, only truly marrying into the family would put her completely at ease.
Yun Shu suddenly turned to look at Yun Ya, who was quietly eating, her gaze piercing.
"Do you know where Ah Xian has gone?"
Kang Jinse’s eyes suddenly widened in shock as she stared at Ji Yunya.
Yun Ya blinked innocently, "How would I know where Aunt Ah Xian has gone?"
A look of ’you’re being strange’ played across his face.
Yun Shu snorted with laughter: "It’s good you don’t know."
Yun Ya met Yun Shu’s gaze fearlessly, and in the end, it was Yun Shu who looked away first.
He smirked, put down his chopsticks, and elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
"I’m full, you guys enjoy your meal."
Watching Yun Ya’s retreating back, Yun Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
——
Yun Ya had Du Shan drive him to the hotel.
Arriving in front of room 207, Yun Ya pulled a card key from his bag, unlocked the door, and walked in.
A putrid scent of lasciviousness pervaded the room, so repulsive it almost induced vomiting.
Yun Ya walked over and drew back the curtains; sunlight streamed in, illuminating the girl who lay on the bed, naked, as if a corpse.
Her body was covered in blue and purple bruises, strikingly horrific against her fair skin.
The girl’s eyes were open, eerily fixed on the ceiling.
She seemed as if dead, utterly lifeless.
Yun Ya glanced at the green plant in the corner; the hidden camera was indeed gone.
He approached the bed, gazed down, and admired the disgraceful state of Kang Jinxian, a slight smile curling his lips.
"How did you enjoy last night?"
Kang Jinxian’s eyes moved, she looked woodenly at Yun Ya, and then, suddenly, a deep, intense hatred burst forth in her eyes, as sinister and terrifying as a vengeful spirit.
Yun Ya remained unmoved, glanced at her swollen, disfigured lower body, and judged it would take at least ten days to a fortnight to heal. On the floor beside her were ropes, sex toys, and the like, clear evidence of Li Yue’s perversity.
"Do you hate me?" Yun Ya asked softly, with a light chuckle.
In a sudden motion, Kang Jinxian bolted upright and reached out to grab Yun Ya’s neck. The action was unexpected, but Yun Ya was prepared, nimbly dodging to the side. Kang Jinxian grabbed at air and fell off the bed onto the floor.
Yun Ya stepped on her back, only then noticing the many burn scars there, some with candle wax stuck to them, adhering to the skin in a nauseating display.
"Ji Yunya... just kill me," she croaked hoarsely.
"Kill you? That would be too kind. I want you to be unable to live or die as you wish."
Kang Jinxian suddenly burst into tears, "I was wrong, I’m sorry for what I did to you, I’ll never dare do it again, please, please spare me." Unlike her usual delicate and pitiable weeping, this time her cries were without image, heart-wrenching, hysterical, like those of a madwoman.
Yun Ya sighed softly, "People always realize what they’ve done only when they’ve lost it all. Actually, I set a path for you. At the very least, you could have gone out with a bang, but you chose to court death. Who can you blame?"
"I was wrong... I really know I was wrong, please, please spare me." She shook her head desperately, tears and snot covering her face.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and Yun Shu walked in with a cold expression.
Yun Ya casually raised an eyebrow, withdrew his foot, flicked nonexistent dust from his skirt, and chuckled, "Grandmother, you are late."
Only the two of them understood the meaning behind the word ’late.’
When Kang Jinxian saw Yun Shu, she involuntarily shrank back, then threw aside her image and lunged forward: "Mother, mother, save me, it was Ji Yunya who did this to me, you must avenge me."
Yun Shu struck her hard on the face, "You idiot."
Her crows’ feet twitched, betraying her anger beyond forbearance.
Kang Jinxian, thrown backward onto the floor, covered her face and cried softly.
Yun Shu’s voice was bone-chillingly cold, "You still have the face to cry for me? Why don’t you just die."
Kang Jinxian immediately stifled her cries, her shoulders shaking slightly.
"Better to cling on to life than die easily, Aunt Ah Xian, make sure you live well. Without you, life would be so boring."
