Chapter 434: Chapter 438: Survival on a Deserted Island (18)

The news that the Su Family and the Yue Family had dissolved their engagement had not yet reached Yue Bai.

But he would find out soon.

After his calls to Su Li kept going unanswered, Yue Bai decided to make a move against the Su Family to give them a warning.

As soon as the order was issued, Yue Bai’s younger uncle personally came to visit his nephew.

"Even though your engagement with Su Li is no more, Su Family is still our best business partner, so I hope you will stop making those unreasonable demands."

"Ultimately, the matter between you two is just a verbal joke among the adults, and it was also based on the good relations you shared. However, we were mistaken, you two are purely like siblings... and, Xiao Bai, since you already have someone you like, there’s no need to use Xiao Li as a shield. We elders are not that conservative; if you truly love a girl, we will not object. Your grandfather feels the same way."

"If you’re worried about your parents’ opinions, don’t be afraid. The old man has spoken, and they have no choice but to listen."

Yue Bai’s younger uncle was truly ruthless, spending the entire time pretending to speak for his benefit, persuasively and earnestly.

In fact, the words he uttered almost infuriated his own nephew to death.

"You...." Yue Bai was indeed infuriated to the brink of collapse, slumped in his wheelchair, looking at the triumphant victor.

Yue Bai’s uncle was a piece of work, skillfully extracting Su Li from the incident with a few words, even framing their actual romantic relationship as nothing more than a pure sibling relationship.

Impressive, truly impressive.

It’s a wonder how this man’s manipulations had been under Yue Bai’s radar for so many years.

Yue Bai’s uncle was incredibly capable of drawing enmity, completely suppressing Yue Bai’s grievances towards Su Li and emerging as the person Yue Bai hated most.

Outside, Su Li stood watching this scene of beating the downed dog unfold.

Exhilarating!!!

Yue Bai’s uncle emerged from the ward refreshed and pleased, nodding meaningfully at the flowers in Su Li’s hands.

Then, Su Li went in.

"What are you doing here, get out...." Yue Bai’s already terrible mood worsened upon seeing the visitor.

Su Li smiled softly and then replaced the flowers in the vase with the ones she held.

Though he appeared sullen, Yue Bai was carefully observing Su Li’s reactions.

Seeing this, he felt slightly better.

Knowing Xiao Li as he did, seeing himself in such a state now, she wouldn’t hold past grievances against him.

Now, she proved right; Xiao Li was still the soft-hearted girl he knew.

Yue Bai decided that he would treat her better in the future, and he would lay his cunning schemes to rest.

But the slap in the face came too swiftly.

Su Li smiled beautifully and said, "What am I doing here? I’m here to see your miserable predicament, Yue Bai. Knowing you’re suffering makes me feel at peace."

"Just wanted to share my joyful mood with you."

"Crack," Yue Bai’s fingernails angrily struck the wheelchair, and because he used too much force, his not-too-long nails almost peeled off.

The intense pain in his fingers couldn’t match the impact of Su Li’s words on him.

After Yue Bai’s uncle left, Yue Bai, quickly coming to grips with the situation, hadn’t spared a thought to consider Su Li as his last lifeline.

But that lifeline turned out to be made of spiked steel, ungraspable and untouchable.

Su Li spoke, "You might not know this, but before coming here, I also visited Liu Piaopiao at the mental hospital."

"Men, when heartless, are truly terrifying."

Su Li sighed profoundly, changed the water in the vase, then pulled up a chair in front of Yue Bai and sat down with her legs crossed.

Her demeanor was utterly captivating; a series of graceful movements riveted Yue Bai, angry yet deeply perplexed.

Did he really know Su Li, the person she appeared to be now?

If she had truly had such charm, how could he ever have been attracted to Liu Piaopiao?

In the past, although he was satisfied with the woman who was soon to be his wife, he couldn’t help but find her coldness extremely dull.

Yue Bai racked his brain but couldn’t fathom that the woman in front of him had actually changed her personality.

It could only be said that he never took the original owner seriously.

It was a friendship of many years, after all, followed by an actual intimate relationship.

Yue Bai thought and thought, and eventually theorized that Su Li was just playing him, even starting to concoct various conspiracy theories in his mind.

Even that glance his uncle had thrown toward the door had been imbued with some special meaning by him.

Yue Bai gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Great, Su Li, you’re really something, even deceiving me, daring to pull one over on me."

Su Li squinted her eyes, unconcerned with whatever he was imagining, as long it angered him.

She grinned, "Of course I’m fine, right now I’m too fine, they say those who don’t die in great calamities are destined for later blessings. Seeing you and Liu Piaopiao’s plight, I feel deeply sympathetic but also extremely lucky."

Su Li put her hands together solemnly, "It must be because I did too many good deeds in my past life to have an immortal watching over me."

Indeed.

The original owner had Merit that even recruited her, the Little Fairy, to help.

Fairy Su swaggered her head, speaking earnestly to Yue Bai, "Told you to do more good deeds, but you wouldn’t listen, now..."

"Tsks tsk tsk..."

Su Li’s meaningful tsks were very aptly used.

What she meant next was obvious to Yue Bai.

Now he was getting his just deserts, just deserts, deserts...

He violently pushed himself up, wanting to rush forward and tear off Su Li’s detestable smiling face.

"Thump"—He fell from the wheelchair to the ground.

Su Li covered her flushed mouth, gasping softly in surprise, "Oh..."

Then she reminded him, "What were you trying to do to me? You must have forgotten that you’re missing a foot."

Falling, the wound burst open with fresh blood.

Su Li said, "I urge you to be kind." Isn’t this just the retribution?

Yue Bai, a grown man, was infuriated by Su Li’s insinuations about kindness and retribution, to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Su Li felt satisfied that her trash-talking skills had leveled up.

Kai Xin~

What was physical torment compared to the deeper damage of emotional injury?

-----------

Su Li’s life was extremely smooth, wealthy and leisurely. Because of Yue Bai, the Su Family had their own imaginings and didn’t dare press Su Li into marriage or childbearing.

They all thought her soul was too deeply scarred, leading her to close off her heart.

Su Li was happy to go with the flow. The Su Family had many well-taught younger generations who supported this old spinster hanging around the house.

Payback in kind, Su Li often guided the younger generation of the Su Family.

By the time she left this world, the Su Family’s business had become an industry leader, the pride of the nation.

As for those few passersby in her life, who remembered them? No, a lot of people remembered them.
