Chapter 15 Triumph

• “What did you just say?” she frowned as she was not certain if she heard it right. Did this loser just initiated a divorce?
• “We should just end this. There is no point for me to hang around since you detest me.” Su Qi turned around and smiled at her. “Divorce me and you can see him as you wish, right?”
• That was but a bitter smile.
• Liu Nian looked at him. It felt so strange as though she had never known him.
• “Believe it or not, I have never betrayed you. There was no intimacy between me and him!” Liu Nian said in a cold tone.
• “Really?” Su Qi was stunned.
• Liu Nian snorted with arrogance, “That’s the truth whether you like it or not!”
• It seemed that she was serious. Hence, Su Qi was not so mad anymore as her modesty was still intact. With that, he felt so much better.
• “Come on, you have been seeing him for 2 years and yet you were spared?” Su Qi was a little suspicious.
• That man has overwhelming aspiration for Liu Nian, Su Qi found it hard to believe that he could hold it for 2 years. He knew fully well that not all men had good self-control over their sexual desire especially over a goddess like Liu Nian.
• Judging from the man’s behavior, he undoubtedly desired Liu Nian immensely. Su Qi was somewhat disbelieving that he could tolerate for 2 years since he himself was keenly aware of how enticing his wife was. Not every man had self-restraint as strong his either.
• “Is that what you think? Well, have you ever touched me in the past 5 years then?” said Liu Nian with a sneer.
• Erm. That sort of make sense…
• Seeing that Su Qi remained silent, Liu Nian continued to scorn, “You can rest assured that my modesty is intact and I have not dishonored you. Now get out of my face, I don’t want to see you ever again.”
• She hid under the blanket with her head sticking out while staring at Su Qi. The flush on her face was still there which gave one the impression that she was blushing.
• After Su Qi left, Liu Nian got out bed quickly. She locked the door let out sigh of relief, then she patted her chest hard to stay calm that her body jerked in response.
• She looked at herself in the mirror; she had nothing on but her under garment. She blushed as she felt ashamed and angry over the incident. She found it hard to believe that Su Qi revolted that she asked herself, “How dare he fought back, where did he pluck up the courage?”
• She gritted her teeth while pulling herself together to get over the attack. She was this close from getting raped by Su Qi.
• He had gone way overboard and crossed the limit!
• On the contrary, she was surprised that he manned up in the frenzy.
• Liu Nian’s heart started pumping fast when she thought of how Su Qi pinned her beneath him. She felt the strong sense of masculinity in him which was something she had never seen.
• “I am thinking too much! This must be my imagination! This bum is a loser who won’t even fight back let alone becoming macho.” She shook her head in disbelief trying to get rid of her thought.
• Su Qi’s in-laws got home shortly after he left the room. They started grumbling the moment they stepped into the house, “Hmm… Chen is so lucky to have such a successful son-in-law.”
• Liu shihang, Su Qi’s father-in-law added, “Exactly. I’m green with envy. Chen is illiterate and his daughter is such a plain looking girl and yet she married a good husband who is a leader in government department. Just take a look at our daughter, she is a way prettier than Chen’s daughter but she ended up marrying a loser…”
• Then, Li Xiudi, his mother-in-law shoved Liu Shihang gently and whispered, “Stop right there. Su Qi is here.”
• Glancing towards where Li Xiudi was, Liu Shihang caught sight of Su Qi who was gazing at them awkwardly.
• “So what, was I wrong in saying that?” Liu Shihang raised his tone purposely, “Has he been successful in doing anything? He couldn’t even keep a job. I truly regret bringing him into our family. He has ruined my daughter, our precious daughter.”
• Li Xiudi pushed Liu Shihang again, stared at him and muttered, “That’s enough!”
• This was nothing new to Su Qi. However, this was the first time it was done to his face unlike before.
• It would be a lie to say that he didn’t take it to heart.
• Then, Liu Nian came out of the bedroom after changing and said, “Why are you back so soon? Aren’t you supposed to get a present for my grandpa?”
• “I don’t even want to talk about it,” said Liu Shihang who looked dismal, “I went rock betting. I found a good piece and was all set to pay when that old bugger, Chen, snatched it from me! The thing is, the rock was all green when they cut it open. That was a shade of green of high quality which could fetch at least one hundred thousand!”
• Liu Nian was taken aback after hearing that. “Are you serious? But aren’t you on pretty good terms with the owner of the rock betting shop? Didn’t you guys just have dinner last week?”
• Liu Shihang got even angrier after hearing that, “That serves no purpose! Chen’s son-in-law is a leader in government department who commands a lot of respect. All he had to do was to say a few words to Mr. Fang and he sold the rock to Chen happily. He even gave him a 30% discount! Which means he only had to pay slightly over a thousand for a good rock that could fetch him at least one hundred thousand. Imagine how much he will be pocketing!”
• Following that, he gazed at Su Qi and said cynically, “They are both sons-in-laws but there is a world of difference between them.”
• Su Qi lowered his head and pretended that he didn’t hear anything. Anyway, he was immuned to this.
• In the past, he had no choice but to endure it. But now, he didn’t care as much since the spell would soon be broken. Once the spell was broken, he would walked out of this miserable life.
• Just as he finished talking to himself, a resonant voice came through the door, “Liu, aren’t you supposed to go jade shopping for your father-in-law? What are you back so early?”
• Then, four people came walking in. There was a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional Chinese outfit besides Chen, his daughter and his son-in-law,
• Upon seeing the scoundrel, Liu Shihang seemed even more irate, “Chen, do you have to do this? You are rubbing salt in my wound? Are you here to show off?”
• “Oh come on, look at you. We have been buddies for years. Do you really think I will do that to you?” Chen pretended to be unhappy.
• Liu Shihang frowned and asked, “Then why are you here?”
• Chen took a piece of jade from his bag. It was cut into four revealing a small part of it. The color was not crisp but the quality was there. A quarter of this rock could fetch thirty thousand yuan easily. Based on common sense, this jade could fetch at least 100 000 if the whole piece were cut up.
• “I heard your father-in-law is an avid collector of quality jade. Liu, seeing that we’ve been friends for years, I’ll sell this jade to you. It is worth at least one hundred thousand after you finish cutting it. However, my opening price for you is eighty thousand. What do you think?” Chen smiled as he spoke with a face full of sincerity. However, Su Qi saw through his gimmick before he went too far.
