Chapter 2: Enough Is Enough

Su Bei used her other hand to pinch Su Huixian’s chin, forcing her to open her mouth wide. There was a rare coldness in Su Bei’s lazy voice when she said, “No matter what’s in this soup, it’s yours now.” She then let go of Su Huixian’s wrist, picked up the pot of bird’s nest soup, and poured it into Su Huixian’s mouth. Su Huixian struggled desperately, shaking her head. But she couldn’t break free from Su Bei’s grip, so she had no other choice but to let Su Bei shove the bird’s nest soup into her mouth indiscriminately. “I didn’t... Su Bei... You... Let go of me!” Su Huixian was choking and coughing nonstop. With a pitiful look on her face, she shook her head vigorously. The door suddenly opened, and a handsome man strode in. Seeing the scene, he immediately grabbed Su Bei’s wrist and pulled her away from Su Huixian. He was utterly surprised. “Su Bei, what are you doing?” “Du Luo, you’re just in time. Su Huixian put some drugs in the bird’s nest soup. She has also asked some bodyguards to rape me. Good thing I’ve seen through her soon. Now, I am letting her eat up the bird’s nest soup,” Su Bei replied calmly. A trace of contempt was visible in her beautiful eyes. The gentle look on Du Luo’s face changed when he heard what Su Bei said. “Is it true?” Su Huixian shook her head pitifully. “No, it isn’t. How can I do such a thing? Su Bei, I know that you don’t like me, and I can tolerate that. But how can you frame such a vicious thing against me? Mr. Luo, I didn’t do that...” Looking at her pitiful face, Du Luo felt a little sorry for Su Huixian. He then turned to Su Bei and said, “Su Bei, you are already the precious daughter of the head of the Su family. No one can take that position from you. Why do you have to do this to Huixian?” Du Luo’s words sounded so harsh in Su Bei’s ears, and she also felt uneasy upon hearing him calling her half-sister only Huixian. When did they become so close? “Are you suspecting that I am deliberately framing her?” she asked, looking at Du Luo in disbelief. “It’s okay for you to be willful at times. But you have to know that there are things you can’t just joke about,” Du Luo said to Su Bei. He then looked at Su Huixian with pity in his eyes and added, “Huixian always puts up with you. But enough is enough.” Su Bei stared at Du Luo’s handsome face. Seeing his self-righteous look, she felt so ridiculous. She then asked in a sarcastic tone, “You believe her instead of me?” Du Luo turned his face sideways, his fists clenching in his pockets. He didn’t answer her question. “What is going on here? Why are you fighting again?” Su Xingfu, Su Bei’s father, and his wife, Xu Zhiqin, rushed into the room together. Su Huixian immediately threw herself into Xu Zhiqin’s arms and cried aggrievedly, “Mom, I didn’t drug Su Bei. I also did not find someone to rape her. How could I do such a thing to her?” The expression on Xu Zhiqin’s face slightly changed. “Su Bei, there may be some sort of misunderstanding here, right?” “I’ve heard everything she said with my ears. She even called someone to tell the bodyguards to come to my room. How can it be a misunderstanding?” Su Bei said. Situation, perhaps it’s best for us to take some time apart. We need to think clearly about what we truly want. I can’t bear the thought of losing you, but we can’t continue like this, caught in a cycle of hurt and mistrust.” Su Huixian looked between them, desperation etched on her face. “Please, let’s not give up without trying. We can find a way to heal this. I never meant for things to come to this point.” As the tension hung heavy in the air, each of them grappled with their emotions, unsure of what the future held but knowing they had to confront the truth.
