Chapter 15
In the Basement
Butler Chen replied respectfully, "In the basement."
Su Yan went to the basement.
Su Xuezhen was tied to a cross.
She looked around at everything and a sense of panic welled up inside her.
It must be Su Yan!
It was Su Yan who arrested her.
She disguised herself very well, and Su Yan couldn't possibly know her identity. So, it could only be that Su Yan found out about her seducing Jiang Yuan.
"Da da da".
Footsteps came from the basement.
Su Xuezhen looked over, and a strong hatred welled up in her eyes.
"Su Yan!"
Su Xuezhen gritted her teeth and said, "It really was you!"
Su Yan reached out her hand, and Butler Chen respectfully handed her a small knife.
The knife reflected a cold light in the dim light.
Su Yan walked over and used a knife to lift Su Xuezhen's chin.
"You actually dared to seduce my man, you've got some nerve."
"Su Xuezhen." Su Yan's red lips parted slightly.
Upon hearing these three words, Su Xuezhen's eyes widened in surprise.
How did Su Yan know her name?
"I was originally planning to keep you around for a while longer," Su Yan said, her voice laced with coldness. "But you seduced the wrong person, so I have no choice but to make you suffer terribly."
Su Xuezhen bit her lip. "So you already knew my true identity all along."
She should know.
Su Yan is a meticulous person, and Rose Manor is her territory.
Her plans to operate within the Rose Manor were impossible to hide from Su Yan's eyes.
She was so naive to think she was pretending so well.
"It seems, Su Yan, you were planning to use me, deliberately having me pass on important information," Su Xuezhen said with a sneer. "But because of Jiang Yuan, you captured me ahead of time."
"Su Yan, it seems you've truly fallen completely for a man this time."
"You have a weakness now. With a weakness, Su Yan, you won't be so difficult to deal with in the future."
Su Yan's gaze remained calm.
So what if you have a weakness?
The worst that can happen is death.
She was someone who crawled out of hell.
She was never afraid of death.
"Su Yan," Su Xuezhen said coldly again, "You don't actually think that Jiang Yuan would like someone like you, do you? He's just putting on an act because of your power."
"Also, you must have heard what he said when I was seducing him last night, right? Heh, Jiang Yuan must have known you were there, that's why he said those things on purpose."
"Shut up!"
Su Yan's eyes turned cold, and she stared at Su Xuezhen as if she were looking at a dead object.
"Su Yan," Su Xuezhen sneered, "You're reacting so strongly, you must think the same thing, right?"
"Su Yan, you will never have anyone who truly loves you in your life, including Jiang Yuan."
"You'll go crazy for a man like your mother did, and Jiang Yuan will desperately try to escape from you, just like your father did."
"Su Yan, you are destined to live in darkness."
Su Yan approached Su Xuezhen, her fingers gripping Su Xuezhen's neck. She gritted her teeth and said, each word distinct, "I told you to shut up, did you hear me?"
Su Xuezhen could feel the air being taken away from her chest little by little.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Su Xuezhen laughed loudly, "Kill me, Su Yan, kill me now, I will become a vengeful ghost and watch you be abandoned by Jiang Yuan."
Su Yan's eyes were extremely gloomy.
"Su Xuezhen".
"Ah Yuan, he won't leave me."
"Did you hear that? He's not going to leave me."
This is what A Yuan said himself; he wants to stay by her side.
Su Yan tightened her grip on Su Xuezhen's hand.
When Su Xuezhen thought she was really going to die.
Su Yan suddenly let go of her.
"Cough cough cough—"
Su Xuezhen coughed violently.
Su Yan used the knife to lift Su Xuezhen's chin, and she said coldly, "I won't kill you, but I will make you suffer painful torment day and night."
