Guide to tame my villainous husbands-Chapter 1462: A zero
When Shao Yu heard her words, he was stupefied at first. He couldn't understand what was going on; he had known Shao Yuan for a long time but he had never seen her lose her temper at him like this ever. Forget about raising her hand; she had never lost her temper at him. He never thought that Shao Yuan would one day not only yell at him but also raise her hand on him.
"Sister Yuan, what happened to you? Have you lost your mind?" Shao Yu asked in a slow, deliberate voice. "Why are you hitting me when I did nothing wrong?"
"Nothing wrong?" Shao Yuan chuckled. She glanced at the mer, who was sitting on the floor with a contemptuous look in her eyes. "The fact that you are that mer's son is enough for me to kill you but I am going to be merciful and let you keep your life."
Shao Yu stared at Shao Yuan for a while. For a few seconds, he simply stared at the woman as he could not understand why the woman was suddenly acting in such a manner, but after a short resistance, his eyes widened and he realised what was going on.
He raised his head in shock.
"You— you have been pretending all along?" Shao Yu questioned. Even though she didn't say anything, Shao Yu understood everything. The doting, the care and the affection that Shao Yuan had shown to their family was all fake! She had been pretending all along. When Shao Yu thought about how Shao Yuan had been acting to be kind to him for all these years, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. This woman —she was way too terrifying! How could she—how could she play the role of a loving sister and filial daughter for so long when she hated them so much?
Shao Yu felt chilled to the bone when he looked at the woman. He thought that Shao Yuan was an ambitious woman who chose her mother, who had the power to control countless guilds, rather than a poor mer who was nothing but a burden. But he never once thought that Shao Yuan was actually playing them all by their noses. She had been suppressing her intentions for years only to rip the mask off her face now.
He stared at the woman in front of him with sheer horror on his face. "You—you, how could you?"
"How could I?" Shao Yuan chortled. With a cold glint in her eyes, she said to him, "I also asked the same question to myself when I thought about how your father harmed mine. It was really a hard choice, watching my brother and dear father leave and suffer under your father while I slowly moved the money out of the Shao family."
"I could have saved my father's life but I couldn't because even though I turned my back on them, mother never trusted me."
Her eyes turned red when she thought about how she had to lower her head and watch her father suffer; she could obviously help her but because Mother Shao was paying close attention to her, she could only turn her back on her brother and father. However, when she thought about how she wanted her mother and that mer to pay for the things that they had done, she could only harden her heart and continue forward.
If she gave up halfway, then she would never see the glorious fall of Mother Shao and that concubine of hers. Now that the two of them were gone, she was finally relieved. The anger that she had been suppressing for all these years calmed down, which eased the pain in her heart. Even though it took so long, she had finally sent those who hurt her father to prison.
Unfortunately, she glanced at Shao Yu. This mer never did anything wrong and he was not taken to the same prison cell as his parents. If he was then, there was nothing to be worried about, but Shao Yu was lucky. He escaped punishment but she never meant to let even a single person escape.
Since Shao Yu escaped, it was only right for her to take the interest that he owed her brother.
Shao Yu heard this and his heart fell even deeper in the pit of his stomach. "I really underestimated you."
When Shao Yuan started to pay attention to him, he thought that she had thought things through but who would have thought that this woman was actually hiding such treacherous thoughts in her heart for so long? If he had known then, he would have certainly kept his guard up against this woman.
However, it was already too late!
When Shao Yuan saw the anger and helplessness in Shao Yu's eyes, her lips curled up; she was quite satisfied with the result. Even though she ruined her relationship with her father and brother, this was really worth it. At least, she didn't have to worry about not being able to make it up to her father and brother.
"Achoo!" Shao Hui looked at the stage that was brightly lit and the worry in his heart turned even more heavy. He knew that Master Zi was going to target him but he had no other choice but to go on the stage and face the obstacle. Anyway, since the situation was like this already, what was the point in stepping back?
"What's the matter?" When his agent saw that Shao Hui didn't look well, he couldn't help but ask. He said to Shao Hui, "There is no need for you to worry so much. Though they all are highly skilled, neither of them is your match. Master Cui and I are certain that you will definitely win this round."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Hui's lips curled up and he smiled wryly. What did he mean by definitely winning this round? With how things were going astray, he was certain that he was bound to fail.
