Chapter 394: Birds Of A Feather Flock Together
Su Wan was stunned for a mont. She felt a sudden gust of cold wind but she did not dodge.
A sharp pain appeared on her cheek. It was a burning pain.
Xu Ziyao’s slap was loud and hard. It was obvious that she was ruthless. Within a few seconds, an extrely disproportionate palm print appeared on Su Wan’s pale face.
Sll of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth suddenly. Su Wan blinked, not knowing what to do.
Su Wan groaned in pain. She raised her delicate hand and wiped away the blood that seeped out from her lips.
No one had ever slapped her face since she was young.
Those who had such intentions were stopped halfway. This ti, a real palm print landed on Su Wan’s face.
The person who slapped her face was Jiang Xuecheng’s mother, Xu Ziyao.
Although she was middle-aged, she was as elegant and graceful as a goddess.
It was as if ti had frozen after Xu Ziyao slapped Su Wan. The air froze unbelievably. Everyone was frightened by the scene in front of them and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The people surrounding them watched as they confronted each other. Before Su Wan and Xu Ziyao spoke, no one dared to speak.
Su Wan raised her long eyelashes. She looked at Xu Ziyao who was wearing a green cheongsam standing opposite her. Her bloodshot eyes showed hits of fatigue.
Xu Ziyao looked down at her from above. Her cool eyes seed to be covered with a layer of bone-chilling frost.
No matter when, Xu Ziyao would always dress in a cheongsam. Her makeup was exquisite, and there was no exception at this mont.
Ti seed to be especially lenient with this beauty. Although Xu Ziyao was almost fifty years old, her appearance was beautiful and exquisite, and the noble aura in her every move had an overwhelming superiority over a group of young ladies.
“Xuecheng rely went on a vacation with you and ca back like this. What kind of wife are you? Did you forcefully drag him to watch the Lyrids teor shower last night?”
Although it was a question, there was not a trace of doubt in her tone. Instead, she was full of affirmation. She even directly believed that Su Wan was the one who begged Jiang Xuecheng to go and watch it. It was exactly what happened.
Su Wan pursed her lips. Her expression was sowhat bitter. She did not know how Jiang Xuecheng entered this stage after watching a teor shower.
“Yes...”
It was a simple word, but it was filled with sorrow.
Except for the first few seconds, when Su Wan was caught off guard and was slapped by Xu Ziyao, she quickly ca to her senses.
Su Wan had already guessed from Xu Ziyao’s attitude why Jiang Xuecheng was unwilling to go with her to watch a teor shower in the first place. If she had not begged for it, Jiang Xuecheng would definitely not have gone, would he?
However, at that ti, she had no idea Jiang Xuecheng would have such a reaction to the teor shower!
Moreover, if Jiang Xuecheng had told her, Su Wan would definitely give up her idea.
From another perspective, Su Wan could actually understand Xu Ziyao’s feelings as a mother at this mont.
Her son was lying in the ward with his life and death uncertain. The anxiety and worry she was feeling was definitely no less than Su Wan’s.
Sheng An’ning, who was standing at the side, saw Su Wan being slapped by Xu Ziyao. She was neither angry nor was she crying. Instead, she just stood there quietly, feeling even more upset.
Sheng An’ning looked at Su Wan with her head held high. Her beautiful eyes were full of disdain and a hint of hatred.
“Sis-in-law, when brother Xuecheng was young, he was seriously ill for half a month because of a teor shower. How could you take him...”
Jiang Haoxuan saw Sheng An’ning pointing at Su Wan with a sorrowful and mournful expression. Jiang Haoxuan’s fingers trembled and he suddenly felt that Sheng An’ning seed a little unfamiliar to him.
Jiang Haoxuan stepped forward and pulled Sheng An’ning over. He scolded her in a low voice, “Sis-in-law didn’t do it on purpose. Those who don’t know are innocent. Why are you talking to her like that?”
Moreover, from Jiang Haoxuan’s point of view, his mother had really gone too far by slapping Su Wan today.
‘Now that brother Xuecheng had been hard to such an extent by Su Wan, Jiang Haoxuan actually still defended this b* tch!’
Hearing Jiang Haoxuan’s words, a trace of hostility flashed across Sheng An’ning’s exquisite face.
It was not the first ti Jiang Haoxuan had tried to side an outsider like this. Could it be that he had really fallen for this b*tch, Su Wan?
Sheng An’ning knew that Jiang Haoxuan liked won who were as gentle as water the most. She did not refute Jiang Haoxuan. Instead, she lowered her eyelashes and looked a little aggrieved.
“Haoxuan, I’m just too heartbroken. I’m worried about brother Xuecheng’s current state...”
Just as the atmosphere turned stiff, Lin Feier, who had just gone out to buy lunch, pushed the door open and entered with a sweet smile on her face.
“Wan, I bought you your favorite millet and pumpkin porridge. I know you’re not in the mood to eat, but how can you take care of the patient if you’re not full...”
Su Wan had not eaten a single grain of rice since she ca back from the island. Lin Fei’er was really afraid that Su Wan would fall down before Jiang Xuecheng woke up.
Lin Fei’er walked in. Before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw the tense scene in front of her.
Lin Fei’er glanced at Su Wan’s right cheek, which had a bright red palm print, and the bloodstain on her lower jaw that had not been completely wiped off. Her black eyes instantly widened.
With heartache, Lin feier looked at Su Wan. She did not hide the pain in her eyes. “Wan, who dared to hit you? Does it hurt?”
She put down the bag of millet and pumpkin porridge in her hand and spread her arms to protect Su Wan.
“Which one of you hit Wan? How dare you bully Wan? Do you want to die?”
Lin Fei’er glanced at Xu Ziyao, who was dressed in a cheongsam, and Sheng An’ning, who was beside her with an insolent expression. She almost imdiately determined that Sheng An’ning, the white lotus, was the one who had attacked Su Wan.
“Sheng An’ning, tell the truth. Was it you?”
Su Wan felt a little touched when she saw Lin Fei’er protecting her with all her heart. She pulled Lin Fei’er’s hand away and spoke with difficulty.
“Fei’er, it wasn’t her.”
When Lin Fei’er was glaring and yelling at her earlier, as if she wanted to throw her out, Sheng An’ning suddenly felt a little envious that Su Wan had such a friend.
Sheng An’ning was slightly taken aback. What was the point of having such a cheap friend who couldn’t even afford a luxury item?
Why should she be envious?
Sheng An’ning snorted coldly. She swept her gaze across Su Wan and Lin Fei’er, and her delicate face was filled with ridicule.
“Birds of a feather flock together. Sis-in-law, your friend has a bad temper...”
Hearing the sarcasm in Sheng An’ning’s words, Su Wan furrowed her brows and her face instantly darkened.
It was as if the sky had not rained yet, but there was an incomparable gloominess in it.
“Sheng An’ning, what do you an by that?”
Su Wan had silently endured Xu Ziyao’s slap earlier. Firstly, it was because she was the mother of Jiang Xuecheng, so she could not fight back. Secondly, Su Wan felt guilty.
However, Sheng An’ning wanted to slander her friend. She wouldn’t let it happen.
Xu Ziyao looked at Lin Fei’er indifferently. Then, her beautiful eyes focused on Su Wan, and her aura was as cold as ice.
“I’m teaching my daughter-in-law a lesson. Those who are irrelevant, please leave.”
