Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Only Interested in Benefits and Power_i

Having said and done all she wanted to, Su Hongxing went upstairs, not forgetting to lock the door behind her.

Tears blurred Cao Shiyu’s sight as she looked at Ye Qilan, “Fourth Brother, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

No matter what, she was Ye Qilan’s fiancee, yet to be married. How could Ye Qilan turn a blind eye when Su Hongxing humiliated her like this?

But Ye Qilan didn’t even look at her properly, “Hongxing is the mistress of this house, and you’re making her unhappy by being here.”

He intended for Cao Shiyu to understand the implications of his words.

“I won’t leave! I’m your fiancee, this is your property, why should I leave?” Cao Shiyu said, rushing upstairs, not giving Ye Qilan a chance to drive her away.

She was determined to stay, to frustrate Su Hongxing every day, to show her the reality, that she was Ye Qilan’s true fiancee, and Su Hongxing was nothing!

Xiaole, watching the drama unfold from the side, saw Ye Qilan’s stern face and gathered up the courage to say, “I think the people Miss Su doesn’t want to see include not only Miss Cao, but also you, sir…”

“Shut up!” Ye Qilan glanced at Xiaole with stern eyes.

Xiaole pouted, murmuring, “It’s true. Which normal woman would want to be the lover of her ex-husband, being locked up like this, having lost her freedom?”

Although the truth was unpalatable, it was an undeniable fact.

If it weren’t for Su Hongxing’s strong endurance, she was likely to be driven mad by Ye Qilan.

“If I don’t lock her up, should I let her have secret dealings with Beichuan instead?” Ye Qilan retorted coldly.

“That’s because you did wrong first, wronged Miss Su, and caused her to resist. This time, I stand with Miss Su!” With these words, Xiaole ran off, fearing Ye Qilan’s anger.

Ye Qilan stood there, stupefied. Of course, he knew he had wronged Su Hongxing.

However, he was determined to marry Cao Shiyu. At the same time, he was unable to let go of Su Hongxing, causing the bizarre situation today.

He never thought there was anything wrong with being selfish. After all, isn’t it said that a man doesn’t survive without looking out for himself? He used to be like this and would continue to prioritize interests and power in the future.

Moreover, he would not allow Su Hongxing to have any ambiguous relationship with other men!

Even though it was troublesome to have Su Hongxing bear his child, he felt that tying her down with a child was the most effective method.

Although Su Hongxing seemed harsh on the surface, she was in fact quite soft­hearted, a typical case of a person who is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.

The next morning, Su Hongxing was yanked out of bed by Xiaole. Xiaole also prepared her clothes for her. Watching Xiaole bustling around, Su Hongxing furrowed her brows and asked, “What are you doing?”

“The sir instructed me to bring you to work with him. He said it’s to prevent you from causing any trouble,” Xiaole said, adding in a whisper, “I support you. I don’t like Cao Shiyu at all. You and the sir are a better match. If you need any help, just ask me.”

Hearing this, Su Hongxing looked at Xiaole, trying to determine the sincerity of her words.

Xiaole had once taken care of her when she was ill. Of course, Xiaole obviously liked Ye Qilan.

If Xiaole could be used to her advantage, she might be able to marry Beichuan smoothly.

But if Xiaole was a spy sent by Ye Qilan, that would be another matter.

Perhaps due to dealing with Ye Qilan for such a long time, Su Hongxing found herself distrusting others too easily, hesitant to trust anyone blindly.
