Chapter 1337: Chapter 1338: Still Trying to Justify Oneself

“The doctor indeed has some real skills in this area. Mr. Li underwent desensitization treatment with her help, and after a week, he was much better. We just had a drink to celebrate, but who knew that night… when I woke up the next day, I found myself in Mr. Li’s bed, it was too late for anything.”

She speaks half-truths, making it hard to discern whether she’s lying or telling the truth in the moment.

“I originally thought to act as if nothing had happened, I didn’t expect the paparazzi would take photos…”

Jiang Chenyue laughed angrily, walked up to her, and questioned her from a position of authority, “You didn’t think the paparazzi would capture it?”

“I, I really didn’t think about it.” Chu Xi said guiltily.

She continued, “Since you decided not to mention it, pretending nothing happened, why even bring it up?”

Chu Xi looked up in surprise, as if she didn’t understand why she was being asked this, “But didn’t the lady ask me to clarify?”

“It was I who asked you! I thought at most you were physically close with Li Shengxiao and got caught by paparazzi, which is why I asked. But you’re bolder than I imagined!” Her ageless face showed a trace of thin anger, and she coldly said, “I threatened you to clarify things, but the affair behind closed doors with Li Shengxiao, if you didn’t want to mention it, I wouldn’t be able to find out even if I investigated! If you really didn’t plan on revealing this as you told me, you wouldn’t have said it just because I mildly threatened you.”

Her words were too sharp, piercing through Chu Xi’s face, tearing off her layer of hypocritical disguise, exposing the foul truth underneath. Chu Xi’s face turned pale, then red, and she tried to defend herself, “I, I didn’t think too much, I just didn’t want to lie to the lady.”

“Since that day, I’ve been very uneasy, not knowing how to face you. You were so good to me, like your own daughter, yet I did something to let you down. These last few days I haven’t slept well, tormented inside. I’ve thought about coming clean to you but didn’t know how to begin. So when you asked me earlier, I got flustered and blurted it out.”

“Enough!”

Jiang Chenyue suddenly gripped her sharp chin, lifted her head, and expressionlessly raised her other hand, delivering a heavy slap across her face!

At the same time, she released her grip, and Chu Xi, caught off guard, staggered sideways, crashing into a nearby table whose edge hit her waist. She felt a dizzying pain, the pain made her involuntarily scream, her face turning as pale as paper, seemingly about to break at a touch.

Jiang Chenyue looked coldly as she fell, her face expressionless, glanced down at her haughtily and said, “I can give you pride but can also strip you of all your worth, do you believe that?”

Chu Xi, ignoring the pain, reached out to grab the clothes on her waist, “Madam, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please don’t be angry with me. It’s all my fault; I’ll never do it again.”

“Let go!”

Jiang Chenyue wasn’t swayed by this show of self-pity.

“I’ll count to three, if you don’t let go, I’ll have your hands broken! I mean what I say and I can make it happen!”

She hates being deceived the most in her life, as she was deceived before and lost her own daughter, and this woman dared to brazenly deceive her feelings, purely seeking death!
