Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Difficult Choices_1

"Things aren’t as you think, you’ll understand once you spend more time with her," Su Chengyu patiently said.

"I don’t want to spend time with her!"

With an arrogant and spoiled look on her face, Su Xiaoxiao rejected Su Chengyu’s advice.

"Brother, can you break up with her? She’s Hong Zhen Ting’s woman after all," Su Xiaoxiao whined, holding Su Chengyu’s hand.

"I can’t," Su Chengyu answered definitively.

Heartbroken, Su Xiaoxiao stood up and clenched her teeth, "If you had to choose between her and me, who would you pick?"

"Why should I choose? I can’t make that choice! Both of you are equally important to me; neither of you can replace the other."

Standing up, Su Chengyu grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s shoulders, "Xiaoxiao, stop joking around, be good!"

"I’m not joking! You have to make a choice now, either pick me or her," Su Xiaoxiao said firmly.

In the past, whatever Su Chengyu said was the law in her world. She never resisted him.

But this time it was different; Su Xiaoxiao resolved to fight for herself, otherwise she would lose everything.

"Xiaoxiao, please don’t force me, will you? You are my most dear sister, while Xu Nanzhi is the woman I love. I simply can’t make a choice," Su Chengyu pleaded.

"I don’t want to just be your sister; I want to be your woman too. Brother, am I really that undesirable? You’d rather love someone else’s woman than giving me a touch of your love?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt her heart being torn apart, it hurt, it was agonizing, tears uncontrollably flowed down her face.

"Xiaoxiao, let me explain, it’s different..."

Su Chengyu was also in great pain. He had never been in such a predicament. Su Xiaoxiao and Xu Nanzhi were both equally important to him.

"No need to explain, I understand, you choose her and abandon me."

With the back of her hand, Su Xiaoxiao wiped the tears from her face, feeling heartbroken.

"No, Xiaoxiao, how could I abandon you," Su Chengyu struggled to comfort her.

"Then would you abandon her?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"I...won’t."

Su Xiaoxiao did not say anything more. She returned to her room, packed some luggage, and dragged her suitcase out.

"Xiaoxiao, where are you going?" Su Chengyu blocked her path.

"Back to school. Brother, I’m sorry for forcing you to make a choice, it’s too cruel for you. But, I can’t face you and her together, please let me go."

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, dragged her suitcase and left.

Su Chengyu did not stop her. Like Su Xiaoxiao, he was in pain. Forcing her to stay by his side would only make them both more miserable.

This pain, it would take time to heal. There was no rush to make things especially rigid.

At Yulong Bay No.1 Villa, Wu Qinghao, one of Hong Zhen Ting’s most trusted men, rushed back from Jiangyang city with good news.

"Big brother, I’ve brought back the antidote," Wu Qinghao said, looking exhausted, as he entered Hong Zhen Ting’s study.

Hearing this, Hong Zhen Ting immediately stood up, "Antidote? Are you sure it’s the real antidote?"

Since he was poisoned by Su Chengyu, he had been eager for revenge. He dreamt of shedding Su Chengyu’s blood.

To develop an antidote, Hong Zhen Ting invested heavily, sending Wu Qinghao to Jiangyang city to seek a renowned doctor.

"It’s the real antidote. Being able to convince Divine Doctor Wu to help us is all thanks to Chief Minister Li Jing of Dragon Soul. He gave the recommendation, and only then was Divine Doctor Wu willing to concoct the antidote."

Chief Minister Li Jing was the same person who Su Chengyu had called when he was captured.

In order to foster a relationship with Li Jing, Hong Zhen Ting paid a hefty price.

"Quick! Give me the antidote."

Hong Zhen Ting’s eyes lit up. Rubbing his hands, Wu Qinghao took a glass bottle out of his bag containing three pills.

"Take one pill at a time, in three days, the poison in your body will be completely cleansed," Wu Qinghao informed.

Hong Zhen Ting quickly poured out a pill and, without asking any further questions, swallowed it.

"The day I rid myself of this poison will be the day Su Chengyu’s body is ground to dust!"

Now that Hong Zhen Ting had an antidote, he was anxious to claim Su Chengyu’s life. He didn’t want Su Chengyu to live a moment longer.

"Big brother, don’t be hasty. Wait until the poison is fully purged, then make a plan," Wu Qinghao suggested.

Hong Zhen Ting nodded slightly, his face cold and murderous, "Fine! I’ll let him live for three more days! After three days, I will tear Su Chengyu’s body apart."

"You’ve worked hard, go rest," Hong Zhen Ting waved his hand.

Wu Qinghao left Hong Zhen Ting’s study. As he exited the villa, he saw Xu Nanzhi sitting under the cherry blossom tree in the garden, reading a book. Wu Qinghao sneakily glanced at Xu Nanzhi but didn’t dare approach.

Being able to occasionally steal a look at Xu Nanzhi was enough to satisfy him.

Just as Wu Qinghao was about to leave, Xu Nanzhi unexpectedly spoke, "Qinghao, coming back from Jiangyang City, did you bring back the antidote?"

Wu Qinghao quickly walked up to her and stood in front of Xu Nanzhi. His heart was pounding as he respectfully replied, "Sister-in-law, I am happy to say that I have brought back the antidote. The poison will be entirely gone from big brother’s body in three days."

Xu Nanzhi’s eyebrows slightly twitched. She was taken aback, as she had not expected them to find an antidote so quickly. Hong Zhen Ting would inevitably retaliate against Su Chengyu.

"Well done, you’ve worked hard," Xu Nanzhi put down her book and gave Wu Qinghao a faint smile.

Wu Qinghao was taken aback. Xu Nanzhi’s smile was very rare. From his memory, he had almost never seen Xu Nanzhi smile, let alone smile at him.

"Sister-in-law, when you smile, you look incredibly beautiful," said Wu Qinghao, unable to help himself.

"Are you complimenting me or flirting with me?" Xu Nanzhi asked coolly.

Wu Qinghao jumped in fright and quickly clarified, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I wouldn’t dare. Indeed, sister-in-law is stunning. Your rare smile caught me off guard. Please forgive me for my thoughtless remarks."

Xu Nanzhi waved her hand dismissively, and Wu Qinghao hastily left. However, he couldn’t seem to forget the sight of Xu Nanzhi’s smile.

Xu Nanzhi flipped through the pages of her book with her slender fingers. A cherry blossom petal fell on the page. Xu Nanzhi gently picked up the petal and spoke softly, "Even the most beautiful flower is destined to wilt one day."

Once Hong Zhen Ting is cured, he will inevitably retaliate against Su Chengyu. Xu Nanzhi knew her peaceful days were coming to an end.

This time, Su Chengyu’s chances were slim.

Even though Su Chengyu was a cultivator, he currently didn’t have the ability to confront Hong Zhen Ting directly. Leaving Lin Jiang was Su Chengyu’s only option.

After reading for a while, Xu Nanzhi took out her phone and sent Su Chengyu a simple text message, "Hong Zhen Ting has the antidote. Leave Lin Jiang immediately."
