The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 360 - Chapter 360 0360 Youre setting yourself up to be so pure arent

Chapter 360: 0360 You’re setting yourself up to be so pure, aren’t you tired? Chapter 360: 0360 You’re setting yourself up to be so pure, aren’t you tired? Mo Shangjie’s first reaction was to suddenly shudder, a bone-chilling coldness sweeping through his entire body, the air around him instantly vacuumed away, nearly suffocating him.

Then the corners of his lips twitched hard twice.

This damned, domineering, abnormal possessiveness!

It was clearly those two who were shoving their affection down his throat, yet it was he who ended up feeling threatened?

Could this world be a bit more fair, please? Hey!

Mo Shangjie wailed in his heart but still dutifully answered Fu Qiyuan’s question.

“I… I came to find Su Xiaoran.”

Fu Qiyuan turned his head to look at Mo Shangjie, his eyes slightly narrowed, his tone casual yet unnervingly cold.

“What did you call her?”

Mo Shangjie could even feel a cold wind whistling around him.

Glancing at Su Ran, he swallowed hard twice after his Adam’s apple bobbed.

“Sister-in-law… I came to find Sister-in-law.”

Su Ran poked out her fluffy head from within Fu Qiyuan’s embrace, her starry eyes shining under the light.

“Looking for me? What’s the matter?”

Hearing Su Ran’s words, Mo Shangjie immediately snapped back to reality, his expression still somewhat excited.

“Sister-in-law, you should go check out the front, your Ye Zhichen and that what’s-her-name, Su Xinyan, they’ve gotten into a fight, damn, they’re usually so demure, but when they go crazy, they’re like mad dogs, impossible to pull apart, I went up to pull her back but I couldn’t hold on…”

“She said she had to tear apart that white lotus today, to eliminate a menace for the people, but Ye Zhichen, being a rich young lady, how did she suddenly become so fierce, acting recklessly once she lost control?”

As soon as Su Ran heard that something had happened to Ye Zhichen, she immediately stood up from Fu Qiyuan’s arms, her whole aura undergoing a drastic transformation.

“What happened?”

Her tone was as cold as frost, her delicate, gorgeous face covered in worry and sharpness.

“Just…”

“Nevermind, let’s talk while we walk!”

Mo Shangjie had just begun to speak when Su Ran interrupted him, looking up at Fu Qiyuan.

“I’ll go with you.”

Su Ran nodded her head, not in the mood to consider anything else at the moment.

Fu Qiyuan curved his lips slightly, musing that Ye Zhichen had indeed done a good deed this time.

However, at that moment, a man dressed like an assistant approached the trio, heading straight for Fu Qiyuan.

“Young Master Fu, our Elder has sent for you.”

Fu Qiyuan frowned, “Elder Xiao? What does he want with me?”

The assistant shook his head, truly unaware of the reason.

“You go ahead, I’ll go with Young Master Mo to check the front, don’t worry, with him here, nothing will happen.”

Upon hearing this,

Mo Shangjie was so touched he felt tears welling up in his eyes; it was the first time he had been trusted so much.

He puffed out his chest and made a solemn promise.

“Boss, you can rest assured, I will stick close to Sister-in-law and make sure not even a hair on her head is harmed.”

With Su Ran’s insistence, Fu Qiyuan had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

The three of them left the poolside together and went down the corridor in the opposite direction.

On the way, Mo Shangjie told Su Ran everything he knew about the situation.

During the opening dance, Ye Zhichen had already had a little friction with Su Xinyan, and the people following Su Xinyan were alluding to Su Ran behind her back.

When Ye Zhichen heard this, she didn’t give them a friendly look and retorted on the spot.

Although they were indignant, they didn’t dare to cause trouble at the Xiao Family’s banquet.

Latter on, Gu Heng brought Su Xinyan to pay respects to Xiao Yize with a toast, and they happened to run into Ye Zhichen again.

Both sides were there for the investment, and it was a standoff.

Then later on, somehow, the wine from Su Xinyan’s hand ended up on Ye Zhichen’s dress. After Ye Zhichen made a few sarcastic comments, Su Xinyan had a long face, saying Ye Zhichen was deliberately making things difficult for her.

And then later on…

“So, did Zhichen make things difficult for Xinyan just to prove what she was saying?”

“Exactly, I saw her that sharp-tongued and articulate for the first time. She didn’t swear even once, yet she managed to satirize that woman until she was left without a leg to stand on, her face turning pale. And the key is, she wasn’t even satisfied; no one could hold her back.”

Hearing this, Su Ran let out a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

She had thought something had happened to Zhichen!

As long as she wasn’t bullied, that’s what mattered!

Su Ran and Mo Shangjie walked into the banquet hall, where a group of people were gathered and talking animatedly. As the two approached, Su Xinyan’s words became increasingly clear.

“Sister Zhichen, I’ve already apologized to you, so why do you still insist on making things difficult for me? Is it just because you’re my sister’s friend?”

Su Xinyan’s delicate, pretty face was full of grievance and forbearance, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Ye Zhichen, with an air of indignation but not daring to speak out.

She didn’t need to say certain things aloud; there would be people on site willing to take her side.

As soon as Su Xinyan finished speaking, the gazes of quite a few people around turned to her…

“So she’s that Su Ran’s friend?!”

“Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. With a friend like Su Ran, how good can she be?”

“It’s just a small matter, why be so aggressive?”

“Right, it’s just a stained dress, and if the person’s not hurt, can’t you be a bit kinder?”

“This Su Xinyan really has bad luck, first Su Ran, now she runs into her friend.”

Hearing these words, Su Xinyan felt much less resentment about the evening’s events.

She glanced at Ye Zhichen imperceptibly and the corners of her mouth curled up in a smug smile.

The blame can only fall on her for being Su Ran’s friend.

Crossing paths with her, they deserved it!

Ye Zhichen slowly lifted her head, her gaze icy as she looked at the person before her.

“Who says I have to forgive you just because you apologized? If apologies worked for everything, what would we need police for? Do you think by acting weak and playing the victim, everyone has to take your side? I’m not one of those brainless fools who can be fooled by just a few words!”

The people around, upon hearing Ye Zhichen’s words, flashed looks of embarrassment on their faces.

Especially those who had just spoken up for Su Xinyan; they could easily detect the sarcasm in her words.

“Since your mother didn’t teach you well, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson myself. Otherwise, I’m afraid you might kill someone one day and then turn around saying ‘I didn’t mean to’, making others wrongfully accused.”

Su Xinyan’s expression instantly darkened, “Sister Zhichen, how can you say that about me? I…”

Ye Zhichen’s gaze suddenly narrowed, her eyes cold and her whole presence sharp.

“How did I speak about you? I’m teaching you how to behave. Stop playing games all day and living like a delicate white lotus, admitting your mistake without recognizing it, with that look on your face like ‘yes, I’ve made a mistake, but I didn’t mean it, and if you confront me about it, you’re wrong’. What’s all that for? You want people to support you, pity you, feel sorry for you, and make yourself out to be oh so innocent. Aren’t you tired?”

Su Xinyan shook her head pitifully, “No… I didn’t…”
