Chapter 826: Chapter 0826: A Familiar Annoying Ghost

After the Su Family’s research, the old man of the Su Family gave Su Xiaoxi an idea: to frame Tang Ming by self-harm. This way, she could have everything set in stone without waking him up.

After some experienced members of the Su Family spoke up, Su Xiaoxi made up her mind. She not only tore her clothes but also made herself covered in wounds. However, the key evidence had issues.

Originally, the old man wanted Su Xiaoxi to use a sharp tool to make herself bleed and fake the bloodstains. But Su Xiaoxi was afraid of pain and being found out by Tang Ming, so she used red ink from a pen she always carried. Unexpectedly, Tang Ming saw through it.

It was all for nothing. Not only did she waste a piece of clothing, but she also hurt herself in vain.

After a while, Su Xiaoxi came out of the bathroom in a new outfit. Seeing Tang Ming dozing on the sofa, she was immediately annoyed, "I’m done freshening up; we can go eat now."

"Oh!"

Tang Ming nodded, opened his eyes, and glanced at Su Xiaoxi. His gaze fell on her neck, and he smiled, "Nice necklace. Who bought it for you?"

"Hmph, you act all proud."

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Tang Ming and walked out. This necklace was a gift from Tang Ming at an auction in Wanjing City. Him playing dumb now was clearly showing off.

"Remember, if we have to compensate for the bedsheet when checking out, the bill goes to you. Who told you to mess around on purpose?"

Watching Su Xiaoxi’s back, Tang Ming shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi almost stumbled. She was feeling quite frustrated, thinking Tang Ming was a real jerk!

Today, Su Xiaoxi wore a red long-sleeve dress with her hair up, giving off an elegant vibe to outsiders. Only Tang Ming knew that underneath this appearance, many bruises and marks covered her skin. Why go through all this trouble?

The resort offered high-end self-serve breakfast. Owing to the Martial Arts Conference, other restaurants on Qingfeng Mountain raised their prices sky-high. Thus, most guests chose to eat at the resort.

Once at the restaurant, Tang Ming found a table, had Su Xiaoxi save their spot, and then rushed to the food section to pile up dishes.

Considering the steep cost of the room, Tang Ming resolved to get his money’s worth by eating a ton.

With the table full of food, Tang Ming finally sat down and looked at the disdainful Su Xiaoxi, "Hehe, fifteen thousand for the room, I can make up for it at the restaurant. Not just fifteen thousand—if given enough time, even twenty thousand, I could eat back. But you don’t have that capability, so renting a room for you is a waste.

"Hmph, you’re just a pig."

Su Xiaoxi glared at Tang Ming with contempt.

"If I’m a pig, then what are you for sticking with me?"

Tang Ming retorted bluntly.

"Don’t you dare mention that again!"

Thinking of her awkward situation, Su Xiaoxi felt like murdering Tang Ming to shut him up.

"Fine, I won’t. But you need to get me more food so we can eat back the room cost."

Tang Ming smiled and started eating earnestly.

Though annoyed, Su Xiaoxi obediently got up to fetch more food for Tang Ming, also hoping to show the hotel his impressive eating capacity.

"That jerk has more interest in food than in me. Facing such a beauty as me, he shows no interest at all. I really wonder if he’s a man."

Su Xiaoxi grumbled bitterly while filling the plates.

"Hey! So you’re the one who stole my necklace!"

As Su Xiaoxi was busy, a sharp voice burst out suddenly.

"Huh?"

Su Xiaoxi turned around, puzzled, and saw a heavily made-up, seductive woman holding a glass of milk and pointing at her.

The woman looked familiar, but Su Xiaoxi couldn’t place her. Confused, she asked, "Who are you?"

"I’m the owner of that necklace."

The woman glared at Su Xiaoxi and yelled, "Hand it over now, or you’ll regret it."

"I don’t even know you. Why would you say the necklace is yours?"

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, annoyed, "Besides, a friend gave it to me. How could it be yours?"

"Your friend stole it. Anyway, you must return it today. It’s worth millions. If I call the police, you’d end up in prison."

The woman threatened coldly.

"Crazy. I don’t have time for this."

Su Xiaoxi turned away to continue getting food.

"How dare you be so arrogant, you thief? Let’s see how I deal with you."

Furious at Su Xiaoxi’s attitude, the woman reached out to grab her hair, aiming to snatch the necklace.

"Stop it. If you keep causing trouble, I won’t be nice."

Su Xiaoxi turned, grabbed the woman’s left hand, and warned coldly.

"You bitch! How dare you fight back? Go to hell!"

With her left hand held, the woman suddenly splashed milk from her right hand at Su Xiaoxi’s face.

"Ah!"

With a food tray in her right hand, Su Xiaoxi was a bit slow in defending herself.

Food dropped everywhere as Su Xiaoxi’s face got splashed with milk.

"You’ve gone too far."

Furious, Su Xiaoxi slapped the woman’s face.

"Smack."

The sound echoed as the woman fell to the ground from the slap.

The woman was an ordinary person. Had Su Xiaoxi not shown restraint, that slap alone could have disfigured her.

"You hit me! Honey, someone bullied me! Come help!"

The woman lay on the ground, covering her face, screaming loudly.

"Crazy."

Su Xiaoxi wiped the milk off her face with a napkin, cursing disdainfully.

"What’s going on? Who dares bully my woman?"

At this moment, a young man with an octopus hairstyle rushed over.

Upon seeing him, Su Xiaoxi’s expression changed slightly. Though she didn’t know his background, she recognized his hairstyle. He’s the one who clashed with Tang Ming over a breakfast sandwich in Wanjing City.

Back in Wanjing City, this octopus-head guy tried to outbid Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi for a Magical Artifact Necklace to humiliate them. At the end, Tang Ming withdrew, and the octopus-head spent millions to buy the necklace, which Su Xiaoxi now wore.

In Wanjing City, octopus-head got thrashed several times by Tang Ming and lost the necklace before reporting back to his family. He was severely punished for it.
