Chapter 233: Returning the Favor
Qi Yuansheng had already looked pale from heatstroke, but now his face turned deathly white!
Especially since Su He would occasionally wave the scissors downward, as if she might stab him at any moment.
Shen Ruyi’s expression wasn’t much better either. While sharpening, Su He would from time to time let out a cold, eerie laugh in her direction.
Luo Xiaoling’s face also turned a bit pale—not out of fear, but because she was shocked.
She felt Su He was downright unhinged!
What kind of normal person brings a whetstone on a business trip?!
And this muttering, eerie behavior—just looking at her gave chills.
Then she recalled the wink Su He had given her earlier and shuddered.
Luckily, she had secretly warned her before. Otherwise, who knew what this lunatic might do!
Seeing Qi Yuansheng looking like he’d seen a ghost, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of satisfaction.
Serves you right!
If you insist on being Shen Ruyi’s lapdog, then you deserve to be dealt with by Su He!
After sharpening the scissors for a while, Su He started “educating” them about human anatomy—arterial bleeding, ruptured eyeballs, and so on…
Qi Yuansheng couldn’t take it anymore and gritted his teeth. “Su He, can you shut up?”
Leaning on the upper berth railing, scissors in hand, Su He waved them slightly. “No. If you don’t want to listen, I can help cut your ears off.”
Qi Yuansheng was both angry and afraid, curling himself into the innermost corner of the berth, afraid she might hurt him.
Shen Ruyi’s face darkened. Just keep jumping around, Su He. Sooner or later, I’ll send you straight to hell!
As she was thinking this, Su He put down the scissors and raised her chin.
“Shen Ruyi, want to chat for a bit?”
Shen Ruyi was briefly stunned, then sneered inwardly.
So this is it? I thought she had real patience—turns out I overestimated her.
Makes sense. Without power or backing, of course she feels insecure.
She glanced at Su He, her expression arrogant. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Let’s talk about ‘The Farmer and the Snake,’ ‘Dongguo and the Wolf,’ and… our Su family and you. How about that?
Was your conscience eaten by a dog? Or did you never have one to begin with?
You’ve done so many vile things—can you even sleep at night?
Haven’t you noticed you’ve gotten uglier?
Because your face reflects your heart. Right now, you look vicious—just one glance is enough to make people lose their appetite…”
Shen Ruyi’s left pinky trembled violently. “Su He! Shut up! I’ve done nothing! And even if I did, you deserved it! You wronged me—your entire Su family wronged me…”
Before she could finish, Su He let out a cold laugh.
“How did we wrong you?
Your mother switched us because you were weak and might not survive. After you came to the Su family, my parents went everywhere seeking treatment for you—even delayed having a second child.
How many girls in the village got to go to school? How many didn’t have to earn work points?
Search your conscience—what did the Su family do wrong to you?!
If anyone wronged you, it was your mother! And it’s you who wronged me—wronged our entire Su family!
You and your mother are both guilty!
Sooner or later, you’ll be punished!
Maybe starting tonight, you’ll have nightmares every night—tormented by your conscience…”
Shen Ruyi trembled with rage, almost wanting to tear Su He’s mouth apart.
But she couldn’t.
She still had to go to the capital for university. She had bigger plans—no need to cause trouble here.
She gritted her teeth. “Su He, I won’t argue with you. Let’s just wait and see!”
“Wait and see? Even if you crawl and see, I’m not afraid of you!”
Shen Ruyi simply turned her head away, refusing to look at her.
A flicker passed through Su He’s eyes.
When she mentioned that Song Xian had deliberately switched the babies, Shen Ruyi didn’t deny it.
Looks like her guess was correct.
Song Xian did it on purpose—and Shen Ruyi already knew. She was probably using that secret to pressure Song Xian into dealing with her.
Su He then turned to Luo Xiaoling.
“Xiaoling, why haven’t you been talking to me? The money and food coupons you sent me in your letter really helped me a lot—you’re such a good best friend!”
Luo Xiaoling knew Su He was saying this on purpose to avoid suspicion.
She snorted. “Su He, are you proud of tricking me out of money and coupons?
We’ll soon be students at Peking University and Jing University. What do you have to compare with us?
Ruyi is right—we won’t argue over small matters now. Let’s wait and see!”
Su He sneered. “I don’t have time to argue with an idiot like you. If you want to be Shen Ruyi’s lackey, go ahead—but it won’t end well for you!”
After that, Su He ignored her and continued sharpening the scissors.
Neither Qi Yuansheng nor Shen Ruyi managed to sleep the whole journey, but Luo Xiaoling slept soundly.
With Su He, this “omen of misfortune,” around, she felt no ghosts or demons would dare come close.
Even ghosts fear evil people!
The next morning, Shen Ruyi and the others went to the dining car again.
Just like the previous night, Su He made scallion bone broth noodles and shared them with everyone.
Many older passengers had reddened eyes—just like Director Tian—because it reminded them of familiar tastes from the past.
Smiling, Su He said, “We’re about to arrive at the capital. It’s fate that we met—hopefully we’ll meet again. When you go back, please help promote our ‘He’ brand instant noodles. I’ll give you all a bow!”
She bowed as she spoke.
Everyone readily agreed—after all, they had benefited, and the girl was likable.
When the train arrived, Shen Ruyi and the others returned.
Just as they were about to get off, Shen Ruyi sneered:
“Su He, I’ll soon send you a big gift. I hope you’ll still be able to smile then.”
Su He raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
“Return gift. No need to thank me.”
For a moment, Shen Ruyi didn’t even react.
She never expected Su He to actually hit her!
“Su He—you hit me?! Believe it or not, I’ll report you!”
Su He spread her hands. “When did I hit you? I just accidentally brushed against you. Don’t believe me? Ask everyone.”
Director Tian spoke first. “That’s right. Little Su was stretching—you leaned your face over, so she accidentally touched you. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you!”
Principal Chen nodded. “Exactly. You brought it on yourself. It has nothing to do with Little Su.”
Some nearby passengers also chimed in. After all, they had benefited—and they disliked Shen Ruyi’s arrogant attitude.
A train attendant came over after hearing the commotion.
Su He immediately said, “Comrade, I was just stretching and accidentally touched her, but she’s trying to frame me!”
The attendant turned to Shen Ruyi. “It’s fate to share the same train. Small bumps are unavoidable. The train is about to arrive—no need to make a fuss.”
Shen Ruyi trembled with anger, but she knew it was useless. Everyone here was siding with Su He.
She pushed through the crowd and headed toward the exit.
Qi Yuansheng hurriedly grabbed the luggage and followed.
Luo Xiaoling glanced at Su He, then also followed.
Su He ignored them and thanked the attendant.
The attendant smiled. “It’s nothing—just part of the job.”
That mushroom chicken noodle earlier… really was delicious.
