Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars-Chapter 683: Don’t want to pretend anymore
Madam Chu sensed the gazes of the onlookers, inwardly she grumbled at Su Wan, cursing her for being too smart but on the outside, she pulled her lips in an awkward smile as she said, "It's all right, I was just a bit upset that you didn't come to see me and your father for so long. Now that I have seen you I can finally rest at ease."
It was fine, the girl was still young there was no way she would be able to defeat her. When she was young, she defeated Shen Shui countless times before, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Su Wan was bound to be defeated by her!
If it was the original Su Wan then surely she would have exploded by now but the current Su Wan was different, she smiled politely at Madam Chu and with a voice that was lighter than the summer breeze dropped the most explosive bomb on top of Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng's head. " Ah, I really wanted to see father and Madam Chu as well but I was worried, I mean father and Madam Chu had sold me off to become a shared wife, I was afraid that if I go and see the two of you..maybe you wouldn't even allow me to step inside the house."
' What the girl was sold off by parents?'
' She was a shared wife?'
' Sure enough, a stepmother was a stepmother.'
The onlookers all looked at the excitement that was going on in front of them and slightly regretted that they didn't bring melon seeds with them,if they knew that something like this was going to happen they would have brought some salted melon seeds to enjoy the show. What a pity.
" You …." madam Chu never thought that Su Wan would admit that she was a shared wife from her own mouth, she thought that no matter how bold Su Wan was, being shared by five men wasn't something that a reserved woman would be proud of but looks like this girl just had no shame! Just like her mother!
" Mother, please control yourself," seeing that Madam Chu was losing her composure, Su Yu Cheng hurriedly patted his mother on the shoulder and then turned to look at Su Wan with a slightly haughty look. " Sister, are you going to let us keep standing here or are you going to invite us inside the house? I mean if you feel embarrassed about seeing these poor relatives of yours, we will leave."
' Hah, just look at that pretence..even the corner of the town wall wasn't as thick as this guy's face, yet he dares to say such things with such a calm facade, no wonder he was able to squeeze dry the real Su Wan as if she was his slave.' Su Wan inwardly rolled her eyes countless times but she still kept on a smiling face on the outside as she looked at the two annoying pests that came to her house and said, " Why would you do something like that brother Yu Cheng? You and mother are welcome to come to my house whenever you want" —— We just have to see whether or not you have the guts to take another step inside my house in the future.
Su Wan wisely didn't say the thoughts that were going inside her head, she smiled at her neighbours and turned around and stepped inside the house, as soon as her back was turned on to the onlookers the smile on her face vanished and was replaced by a scowl but she still sweetly called out, " Madam Chu, Brother Yu Cheng please follow me."
Gah, pretending to act sweet and gentle with such roaches…she was going to vomit.
Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng were waiting for these words, they hurriedly followed Su Wan as their gazes turned left and right. The mansion wasn't as big as those rich merchants but Madam Chu has never seen such a big house before, she looked here and there and every time her gaze fell on those delicate carvings and fluttering flowers, her eyes turned green with envy. Hah, they were still living in a small courtyard with multiple people using separate rooms in just a small house and yet this bitch was actually living in an entire courtyard by herself, what a waste!
If she knew that this girl would make it this far, she would have never married her off and had her slave away for their family after all compared to those few lousy taels that they received from the Lin brothers, Su Wan earning thousands of taels would have been better.
" You seem to be eyeing my courtyard very carefully," Su Wan took a seat back at the stone table and looked at Madam Chu. She would have ignored the antics of the two of them but they seemed to have come to her house with the intention of causing trouble for her, if they were here to trouble her then she wouldn't have to act nice to them either. " Don't look around like that, I am afraid your eyes will pop out of your sockets."
Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng paused before turning to look at Su Wan.
Seeing that she has dropped her act, Madam Chu too took a seat and sneered, " Not going to pretend anymore? I thought you were very happy to see me."
" Of course I am, I am as happy as you are after taking a look at the healthy glow on my face," said Su Wan swiftly as she raised the cup of tea but frowned when she noticed that her tea has gotten colder, annoyed she motioned her maid to come close to her before she handed the teapot to the young maid. " Go and warm the tea again, it has gotten cold because of some people barging in my house unannounced."
Now that they were not in public, there was no need for Su Wan to be nice to either Madam Chu or Su Yu Cheng.
