Chapter 86: Chapter 86: It Wasn’t Me
It was just like when she was a child, her cherished doll was taken away by Su Lianxi. Yet, a couple of days later, she found it in the trash can, broken arms and legs and all.
To have something she dearly wanted and loved taken away by someone else was one thing, but what was truly unbearable was that the person who took it didn’t even cherish it!
Su Zixi clenched her fists, truly wanting to confront Su Lianxi and demand to know what it would take to satisfy her.
Wasn’t being the young mistress of the Ning Family enough to satisfy her vanity? For the sake of a role, she had unhesitatingly betrayed Ning Yichen. Was Ning Yichen really less important to her than a role?
Or was it because, Su Lianxi firmly believed that Ning Yichen would trust her… Thinking of this, Su Zixi suddenly felt somewhat deflated.
She felt as if all her strength had drained away.
Considering Ning Yichen’s indulgence towards Su Lianxi, his undisguised support, he probably really would believe that it was her, Su Zixi, who seduced the investors.
Shen Yushan finally caught up with her.
“Zhixi, don’t worry.” She said breathlessly, “Everyone knows this has nothing to do with you.”
Su Zixi smiled, “I know, I’m not worried about that.”
“Then why are you so angry?” Shen Yushan asked, puzzled.
Su Zixi was somewhat taken aback.
Yes, why was she so angry? Perhaps it was because, deep down, she still felt a sense of injustice.
Just like when she was a child, after seeing that broken doll in the trash can, she secretly cried for a long time.

Su Family.
Early in the morning, after leaving Muyun Hotel, Su Lianxi didn’t dare to visit Ning Yichen at the hospital but went home first to clean up and rest.
Thinking back to the events of the previous night, Su Lianxi felt as if it was all a dream.
Although she had been with Ning Yichen for a while, they had never taken the final step.
But last night at the hotel, under the investor’s request, she did something indescribably difficult… Even though she was still intact, she felt unclean nonetheless.
Su Lianxi scrubbed herself several times in the bath, but the feeling of shame lingered.
Fortunately, remembering the lead role promised by the investor somewhat soothed her emotions.
No matter what, she had to secure that role! Su Lianxi thought determinedly.
After changing her clothes, Su Lianxi left her room only to find Lin Shuyue rushing towards her frantically.
“Lianxi, what is this about?” Lin Shuyue handed her a smartphone, “Why are the news saying you seduced an investor? Although they didn’t mention names, it’s clear they’re talking about you!”
Su Lianxi was stunned!
The news was out already? How could it be so fast!
She snatched the cellphone from Lin Shuyue’s hands and read every word, her face turning pale!
The news had come directly from the investor… Could it be that the promise of the lead role was a deception too?
Although Su Lianxi had recorded the conversation, she knew she couldn’t reveal it until absolutely necessary, as it also indirectly proved her intent to use seduction for the role!
“Lianxi, what exactly happened? What were you doing last night?” Lin Shuyue asked anxiously.
Su Lianxi shook her head subconsciously: “It wasn’t me.”
“What?” Lin Shuyue was shocked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“It wasn’t me!” Su Lianxi’s tone became firm, “It was Su Zixi, she couldn’t stand to see me do well, so she tried to take the role from me!”
