Obsessive Love, The Possessive Real Young Lady - Chapter 59
From childhood, Shen Jiayan had long been accustomed to Su Sui bowing down to her and trying every means to please her.
Even after their statuses and positions were swapped, when facing Su Sui again, Shen Jiayan’s mindset would subconsciously maintain the belief that she was the superior one.
She never imagined that one day, Su Sui would actually say to her, “This time, I won’t blame you, but don’t let it happen again.”
Not to mention, Su Sui would actually hit her??
Shen Jiayan couldn’t quite believe her eyes and ears.
She looked at Su Sui with a trace of shock.
For a fleeting moment, she felt that the Su Sui who once knelt before her, trying every way to curry favor, was truly gone.
She could never find her again.
This realization made Shen Jiayan’s heart tremble slightly.
“What?” Su Sui’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Are you not used to me treating you this way?”
The Su Sui before her felt very strange to Shen Jiayan, yet so familiar.
Familiar enough that her face gradually merged with Shen Wenshan’s, causing a sharp pain in her chest, like a lump in her throat. She could only stiffen her neck, grit her teeth, and let her eyes gradually turn cold.
Su Sui took in all of her reaction, then leaned in a few inches closer.
Whether she was intentionally trying to disgust Shen Jiayan or reluctantly savoring the taste of Shen Jiayan’s lips, she deliberately got close to Shen Jiayan’s lips and whispered word by word, “I’m not throwing a tantrum with you, okay? It’s because… I’ve truly had enough of your unreasonable behavior.”
After speaking, she stepped back a few paces.
Her fingertips slowly traced Shen Jiayan’s side neck, as if stroking a pet. She lifted her chin, her gaze focused and deep, “Listen well, I am truly weary of you.”
Shen Jiayan’s body shook, and she sharply raised her eyes to look at her.
Su Sui slightly narrowed her eyes, a faint smile on her face, “I used to like that arrogance about you, that self-important, high and mighty air. I especially liked the crazy way you trampled me underfoot, treated me like dirt, and insulted me at will.”
“But now… you are indecisive, hesitant, and always cautious, timid in everything you do. And you refuse to lower yourself to beg for mercy, you can’t even utter a soft word.”
She paused and continued, “I truly find this version of you sickening.”
Shen Jiayan’s breath hitched for a moment.
Then, she heard Su Sui continue, “Between us, there was always that thin layer of paper covering the window. After poking through it, I realized we were nothing more than that. Since that’s the case, why waste each other’s time?”
Su Sui spoke very seriously.
Every word was weighty, striking Shen Jiayan’s mind and causing a buzzing sound.
Her hands clenched into tight fists, all the blood in her body seemed to reverse flow, and her heart felt as if it had frozen over, awakening the beast sleeping deep within her with its chill.
After a long moment, a bitter curve formed on Shen Jiayan’s lips. “Su Sui.”
“Hmm? What is it?” Su Sui raised an eyebrow.
Shen Jiayan raised her hand, grasped Su Sui’s fingers, and fiercely pinched Su Sui’s arm, pressing her against the wall between them. “Su Sui, on what grounds do you think you can easily kick me aside after you’ve already stirred up my peaceful life? Heh heh, I’m telling you, no way!”
With that, she slapped Su Sui across the face.
“This slap is to pay you back!” Shen Jiayan said fiercely. “And you listen carefully too. I am the only one qualified to call a stop to this game. You! You will never be qualified. Want to get rid of me? Maybe in the next life!”
Su Sui was stunned for a moment, then slowly released the hand she had placed on her waist, shifting its position to grip her jaw. “Are you sure you want to go against me?”
Shen Jiayan stubbornly raised her chin, looking at her fearlessly. “You provoked me first.”
“Heh.”
“Don’t let me hear you make that sound from your mouth again!”
“Heh!”
“Fired!” Shen Jiayan grabbed Su Sui’s long hair and fiercely bit down on her lips.
Su Sui winced in pain but showed no panic.
She used one hand to hold Shen Jiayan’s arm and the other to pinch her jaw.
The two wrestled and became entangled.
Half a minute later.
Shen Jiayan was on top of Su Sui, her legs restraining Su Sui’s feet, trapping her firmly on the sofa.
Su Sui struggled, roaring, “Shen Jiayan, let go of me!”
Shen Jiayan coldly let out a mocking smile, reached out, grabbed the water cup from the nearby table, and poured it right over her.
“Why should I let go when I won by my own ability!” With that, Shen Jiayan carelessly tossed the cup aside. Accompanied by the sound of porcelain colliding with the floor, she leaned down and kissed Su Sui’s lips.
Assistant Xiao Sun, holding a data analysis report, was about to enter the office to give it to Su Sui for review.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the office door, she heard sounds of smashing, colliding, and even some ambiguous noises inside.
She thought Director Su was in some kind of trouble.
Until she peeked through the slightly ajar door. She saw torn clothes scattered on the floor and files strewn everywhere.
And the usually aloof and stunning Director Su was currently being deeply kissed against the glass window by the rumored Chairman, her fair skin exposed to the air, her face flushed red.
Assistant Xiao Sun froze for a moment, then her cheeks burst red, and she immediately covered her eyes and ran back to her office.
She rushed back to her seat, sat down, and her entire being still seemed completely shaken.
That afternoon, Su Sui called a meeting for all company employees.
During the meeting, she publicly announced that the company would be terminating Shen Jiayan’s position as Chairman. Moreover, Su Sui specifically stated that this person was forbidden from setting foot in the company.
Assistant Xiao Sun sighed inwardly.
Truly, anything can happen in this world. Today, she was fortunate enough to witness two such events. First, the Chairman kissing the Director intensely, and then the Director firing the Chairman.
Shen Jiayan eventually returned to City H with Gao Wei.
Although her body was back, her soul seemed to have been left behind in City M.
Countless images tumbled through Shen Jiayan’s mind each one of Su Sui’s face, every word Su Sui spoke, every detail, even every expression.
Perhaps it was her own unwillingness, or perhaps she couldn’t bear to let go of those beautiful memories.
In short, Shen Jiayan vaguely felt that Su Sui must be hiding something from her, which was why her attitude had changed so drastically. But she couldn’t figure out the specific reason.
Back and forth, Shen Jiayan felt like she was being driven mad.
“Sister?”
Hearing Gao Wei call her, Shen Jiayan suddenly pulled back her thoughts and looked up at her.
Her expression was indifferent, as if she had already regained her usual composure.
“Yeah, you say.”
“Do I still have to say it? I’ve said it three times already!” Gao Wei frowned, sitting on the low stool beside her with the cat in her arms. “Never mind, you don’t like listening to me anyway.”
“…”
Shen Jiayan glanced at the cat in her arms, then lowered her head, listlessly fiddling with her fingers.
She completely failed to notice the bitterness flickering in Gao Wei’s eyes.
In fact, after this round of radiation therapy, Gao Wei clearly felt her physical condition rapidly deteriorating; the pain was so bad every night that she could barely sleep. She knew that as time went on, she might not even be able to stand up.
During her hospitalization, she had seen too many fellow patients ultimately succumb to leukemia.
She had also seen them twisted beyond recognition by the illness, and witnessed their family and friends secretly weeping behind their backs.
But her heart was conflicted. On one hand, she very much hoped that when she reached the final stage, the person she loved most would be by her side, so she would no longer fear death.
On the other hand, she didn’t want Shen Jiayan to witness her passing and cry heartbrokenly.
But seeing Shen Jiayan’s absent minded appearance, she decided to let her go.
Gao Wei paused for a moment. “If you can’t let go of Su Sui, then put aside your pride and go back to her. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Shen Jiayan slightly turned her head and glanced at her.
“A-Wei,” she called out softly.
“Hey?”
Shen Jiayan continued to look down, fiddling with her fingers. “I remember you used to be much less gossipy.”
“Oh come on, this isn’t gossip, I’m worried for you,” Gao Wei glared at her.
Shen Jiayan said no more, took out her phone from her pocket, and glanced at it.
There were no unread messages.
In fact, there couldn’t possibly be any messages from Su Sui.
After all, that day in Su Sui’s office.
Su Sui had blocked and deleted all her contact information right in front of her.
Shen Jiayan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and turned off the screen. “It’s a bit cold, let’s go inside.”
Just as the two were about to get up and go back to the room, the yard gate was knocked on.
Shen Jiayan assumed it was Aji delivering groceries, so she told Gao Wei to go back to the room first while she went to open the door.
When the door opened, she saw the landlady standing outside.
“So you’re back. Why didn’t you say anything when you came back?” The landlady looked at her with a smile. “Are you free tomorrow? We can go take care of the paperwork.”
“I’m so sorry,” Shen Jiayan also smiled. “What paperwork?”
“Oh, this child. So young, yet your memory is worse than this old lady’s,” The landlady patted her shoulder. “You paid for the house, of course I have to transfer the title to you, right?”
Hearing the landlady say this, Shen Jiayan finally remembered that the matter of Chen Qianqian suddenly buying her a house had not been sorted out yet.
She quickly said, “Can we postpone the title transfer for now?”
“What? Do you think my asking price is too high? So you’re backing out?” The landlady feigned anger and huffed, frowning unhappily. “Let me tell you, since you bought this house, there’s no reason to return it.”
“No, no,” Shen Jiayan laughed awkwardly. “It’s just that the bar business has been really busy lately, and I truly can’t find the time.”
“Oh… so that’s how it is.” The landlady raised an eyebrow. “Alright then, we’ll handle the transfer when you’re less busy.”
Saying that, she turned to leave.
“Hey, wait.” Shen Jiayan called out to her. “How did you know I was back?”
Since they returned to City H, Gao Wei’s health had been poor, and she didn’t want Director Mother to worry.
So she told Shen Jiayan that she didn’t want anyone to know they were back until she was feeling better.
Shen Jiayan went along with it, simply asking Aji, who had been helping look after the house and the cat, to drop off some necessities when passing by.
As a result, she hadn’t left the house in nearly two weeks. Not only did the landlady living in the west of the town not know, but even the next door neighbors probably didn’t know they were back.
