Chapter 1317: What A Whore
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That statement was indeed hard on the ears. To a woman, being referred to as “used goods” was an unacceptable insult.
“Shen Luo’an! Don’t you go assuming everyone is as despicable as you are! He’s my boss! He’s nothing like the bastard you are who wouldn’t even let your sister off!” Ye Youyou spat out as she endured the pain on her arm.
The expression on Shen Luo’an’s face darkened. “If I’m a bastard, what does that make you, who kept chasing after me all those years? You even threatened suicide in order to marry this bastard. That just makes you a contemptible whore.”
Whore…
Ye Youyou had never been an eloquent speaker. The insult that was thrown her way made her boil with fury. She was unable to say anything more except to yell out, “No, you’re the whore!”
This rebuttal was enough to awaken Shen Luo’an’s deep-rooted behavioral habits. With a cold laugh, he brought his face close to hers. “If you weren’t a whore, why did you insist on marrying me? If you weren’t a whore, how could you have lived so shamelessly in a household where everyone despised you? You probably don’t know this, but Uncle Guan regretted it so much after your mom married him. Especially after what happened to Guan Queye, did you really think Uncle Guan meant it when he said he didn’t hold you responsible?”
Guan Queye…
A name that had been locked away for the longest time had suddenly been mentioned without warning. It reopened the old wounds in Ye Youyou’s heart. She felt as if her heart were bleeding. Her expression immediately changed.
In Shen Luo’an’s eyes, her expression did nothing more than fuel his ire. His cool demeanor slowly ebbed off and was replaced with a cruel smile. “After so many years, have you ever felt even small tinge of regret?”
The sentence was phrased as a question. But, at the same time, it was Shen Luo’an speaking to himself.
Just as Ye Youyou was about to reply, Shen Luo’an interrupted her. “You never did.”
“Luo’an…” The pain in Ye Youyou’s arm was worsening, but it did nothing to detract from the pain in her heart. “You know that had nothing to do with me. You know it!”
“I know it.” Shen Luo’an looked at her. His cruel smile widened. “I’ve always known that you were jealous of her, of her background, personality, popularity…”
As he spoke, daggers shot out of his eyes toward Ye Youyou. His cruel smile continued to widen. It chilled her to the bone. There wasn’t a single ounce of warmth in his expression. “There are times when I wished she wasn’t so exceptional. If only she had been slightly less outstanding than you, she wouldn’t have been harmed by you to such an extent!”
“It wasn’t me! Shen Luo’an, are you out of your mind? You know it wasn’t me!” Ye Youyou’s complexion began to pale. Beads of perspiration appeared on her forehead, and she began to sway. “She’s my sister!”
Sardonic laughter escaped Shen Luo’an’s lips as if he had just heard the funniest joke. “Your sister? Only someone like Ye Qianqian can be considered your sister!”
A look of pity flashed across Shen Luo’an’s eyes. His voice was filled with sadness as he said, “As for Guan Queye, since when did you ever treat her as a sister? I only ever saw her sincerity toward you. But, you were only ever focused on stealing the man she loved.”
Ye Youyou’s face turned white, and her breaths became erratic.
“Now that you succeeded in getting him, are you happy?” Shen Luo’an smile widened even further. He reached his hand out and held her by her chin. “When you wanted it, you reached beyond what was yours. You put on such a show and acted so pitiably for everyone. You threatened suicide just to marry me. Now that you’ve succeeded, you want a divorce? Dream on!”
