Chapter 29: 29, Only fit to be a plaything!

“Sister! Help me! Hurry, I’m being bitten to death!”

Seeing the three of them arrive, Su Gang burst into tears and shrieked at the top of his lungs. Instantly, the faces of Su Mengqing and the other two tensed, and they grew rigid with fear.

“Young… Young Master Chen, this is the gambling debt my brother owes you.” When Chen Biao merely smiled without speaking, Su Mengqing took a deep breath, suppressed her fear, and placed a bank card on the coffee table.

“Also, I… I divorced Lin Fan yesterday. For the past four years, I never let him touch me!” Her cheeks burned as she forced herself to meet Chen Biao’s gaze.

“So?” Chen Biao sat up straight, a meaningful smile on his face as he asked the question back.

“As long as Young Master Chen is willing to help Su Pharmaceutical through this crisis, I, Su Mengqing, am willing to…” She steeled her heart and said loudly through gritted teeth.

“Mr. Chen Biao, that Lin Fan fellow is downstairs. He says he wants to see you!” Just then, Brother Dao, holding his phone, cut Su Mengqing off. He approached Chen Biao and reported nervously.

Zhang Meili and Yang Tingting exchanged a look, their faces turning as ugly as if they’d swallowed flies. What? Lin Fan came too?

Su Mengqing silently gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment. That bastard obviously heard something. He’s deliberately come to watch the Su family make a complete fool of themselves!

“Not bad, not bad at all… Bring him up. Don’t kill him right away. I want to have fun playing him to death.” Chen Biao deliberately glanced at Su Mengqing, a smile of keen interest spreading across his face.

A moment later, Lin Fan was brought in. “Young Master Chen, I’m here to redeem my mother’s relic. This is five hundred thousand.”

BANG!

With an indifferent expression, he tossed the black plastic bag in his hand toward Chen Biao.

“Lin Fan! What the hell do you think you’re doing? Will you only be satisfied when you see me, Su Mengqing, completely ruined and finished?” However, before Chen Biao could respond, it was Su Mengqing who erupted, screaming hysterically at Lin Fan.

“What does the Su family’s ruin have to do with me?” Lin Fan paused, only now noticing Su Mengqing and the other two standing to the side. In the corner, a strung-up Su Gang was screaming in agony as a large black dog mauled him. There was also a bank card on the coffee table in front of Chen Biao. It was unmistakably Su Mengqing’s personal card.

“So, you’re here to clean up the mess from Su Gang’s gambling debts. My apologies, but that has even less to do with me.” Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Fan’s eyes turned cold.

Over the past four years, he had warned Su Mengqing more than once that Su Gang was unrepentantly gambling away huge sums of money. It was even highly likely he was colluding with Yang Tingting to steal working capital from the company’s accounts. But Su Mengqing had only accused Lin Fan of trying to drive a wedge between her and her brother, claiming he was destroying their sibling bond.

Looks like Su Gang’s losses kept piling up until he couldn’t plug the hole anymore, huh? Good. This is excellent. He deserves it!

“You! You didn’t follow us here on purpose?” Su Mengqing’s face was flushed, her ample chest heaving violently. She pointed at Lin Fan and questioned him sharply. “You were always telling me Su Gang was gambling, and now that it’s come true, you must be thrilled, right? So very happy!”

“Yes, I’m thrilled. I’m very happy. In fact, I’m fucking ecstatic,” Lin Fan replied with a self-mocking smile, nodding.

“Good! Good! Fine! Lin Fan, you forced my hand. Don’t you regret it!” Upon hearing this, the faces of Zhang Meili and Yang Tingting twisted with rage. Su Mengqing took a deep breath, a laugh of pure fury escaping her lips. She turned to face the intrigued Chen Biao. “Young Master Chen, my offer still stands. If you are willing to help Su Pharmaceutical through this crisis, I, Su Mengqing, will marry you immediately!”

As soon as she said this, the room fell silent for a heartbeat before erupting into roaring laughter. The hundred or so elites of the Black Tiger Hall looked at each other, their laughter exaggerated and mocking. Even Brother Dao shook his head, his eyes full of ridicule.

“Er…” At this sight, both Zhang Meili and Yang Tingting blushed crimson, too embarrassed to even lift their heads. Su Mengqing’s face burned, and she clenched her jaw tightly. Although she had braced herself for ridicule, the reality was still intensely humiliating and unbearable.

“Su Mengqing, if you think you can get revenge on me this way… I’m sorry, but you’re going to be disappointed,” Lin Fan said after a moment’s silence, shaking his head. “Consider this one last piece of advice for old times’ sake: you’re playing with fire.”

“Hmph, scared?” Su Mengqing fought back her shame and turned to stare fiercely at Lin Fan. She sneered through gritted teeth, a flash of vindictive pleasure in her eyes. “Lin Fan, do you think you’re the only one who can latch onto the Yuan family? You think I can’t find a man ten thousand times better than you?”

“Su Mengqing, are you sick in the head?” a sneering voice asked from behind her.

Su Mengqing’s sneer froze as she stiffly turned her head. Her eyes met Chen Biao’s, who grinned as he sized her up and down.

“Su Mengqing, do you really think you’re something special, all gilded and studded with diamonds?” he drawled, his voice dripping with contempt. “Shamelessly talking about marrying me, the Black Prince of Haicheng?” His eyes filled with disdain as his lips slowly split into a deep, mocking sneer. “Don’t you know that in my eyes, you’ve never been anything more than a toy!”

BOOM! The words struck Su Mengqing like a thunderbolt, and she felt her lungs would explode from fury. What? I, Su Mengqing, am only fit to be a toy? She was the dignified CEO of Su Pharmaceutical, the new Pharmaceutical Queen of Haicheng! She had swallowed her pride, sacrificing all her self-respect to offer herself to this disgusting man. And this was his response?

“Where does she get the confidence, wanting to marry our Mr. Chen Biao?”

“Hahaha, every top-shelf woman Mr. Chen Biao has played with was hotter than you!”

“This is killing me! She acts like Mr. Chen Biao can’t live without her. How shameless!”

The air was thick with piercing taunts. The stares felt like daggers in her back. Even Zhang Meili, Yang Tingting, and Su Gang in the corner turned their heads away, looking as if they wanted nothing to do with her.

“I… I…” Su Mengqing’s breathing grew ragged, and black spots danced in her vision. Her limbs turned ice-cold, as if she had suddenly plunged into an endless abyss.

Shame, despair, humiliation… She staggered, and her eyes suddenly met Lin Fan’s. Pity? What right do you have to pity me, Lin Fan? What gives you the right! Isn’t everything that’s happening right now your fault!

“Lin Fan! Are you happy now? Are you satisfied? Are you laughing your head off at me in your heart right now?” Su Mengqing trembled all over, violently tearing her gaze away as tears streamed down her face. In that moment, she was so overcome with shame she wished a hole would open in the ground and swallow her whole.

“…I just find you pitifully stupid,” Lin Fan said, shaking his head again. He turned to the gleefully grinning Chen Biao. “Young Master Chen, I won’t interfere in the bullshit between you and the Su family. Give me my mother’s precious ring, and I’ll leave immediately.”

Hearing this, the embarrassed Zhang Meili and Yang Tingting snapped out of their stupor. “Young Master Chen, you have your money. We won’t disturb you any further. We’ll just take Su Gang and go,” Zhang Meili said, chuckling nervously.

“Yes, that’s right. We have other things to attend to, so we’ll be taking our leave,” Yang Tingting added quickly. The two exchanged a look, forcing obsequious smiles at Chen Biao.

“Don’t be so hasty. I haven’t had my fill of the show yet. What’s the hurry?” Chen Biao stood up, his eyes glinting with amusement as they swept over the faces of Lin Fan, Su Mengqing, and the others. “Since you’re all here for a happy family reunion, why don’t we make things a little more… exciting?”

CLANG!

As he spoke, the door was slammed shut and locked. Then, Chen Biao suddenly grabbed Su Mengqing, seizing her by her pale neck and viciously slamming her down onto the coffee table, forcing her to bend over.

“Lin Fan, do you really think the Black Tiger Hall is a public toilet you can just come and go from as you please?”

The situation turned on a dime, and the room fell silent again. The only sound left was Chen Biao’s wild, arrogant laughter.

“Come on, come on! Today, I’m going to have my way with your wife, right in front of your eyes! Hahaha!”
