After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 207, An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth!

"Your grandfather already came back and meekly apologized. What about you?" Zhao Jian asked, his hands propped on his knees as he questioned the kneeling Chen Su.

A month ago, when Chen Su and her ex-boyfriend had drained the Zhao Family dry, Zhao Jian had knelt before her in the exact same way. He had hoped she would spare him for the sake of the years they had spent together. He kowtowed, he pleaded on his knees, and under the judgmental stares of countless passersby, he abandoned his dignity and self-respect, begging only for a path to survival.

In the end, what did Chen Su do?

She had mercilessly stomped on his face, trampling and grinding her heel into him. She even made him crawl between her ex-boyfriend’s legs. In short, she piled on every humiliation imaginable. If it weren’t for his aging parents, whom he couldn’t bear to leave, Zhao Jian would have simply walked away and ended it all. The humiliation was too much, the despair too absolute. He saw no hope in living.

As for Chen Su’s ex-boyfriend, with whom she still had ties, he had stopped at nothing to torment him. He made Zhao Jian squat at the door and listen to them having sex. During their climax, Chen Su’s ex-boyfriend even ordered him to listen carefully—to hear Chen Su’s panting moans as she lost herself in the moment, and the muffled grunts as the man thrust forcefully into her. The torment had nearly shattered Zhao Jian’s mind.

A wretched whore and a lecherous degenerate. There was no more fitting description for that vile pair.

And now? Only a month had passed, and the tables had turned. This bitch was finally paying a painful price.

"Brother Yun, something is still missing," Zhao Jian said in a low voice.

Shen Fanyun looked at him curiously. "Hmm?"

"We’re missing the other party," Zhao Jian exhaled, reaching out to pat Chen Su’s cheek. The bitch was here, but the lecher was not.

Chen Su’s face twitched. "Hong Tao has nothing to do with this. I planned it all myself. You don’t need to drag an innocent person into this. In any case, beat me or kill me, I’m at your mercy. If I, Chen Su, dare to say ’no’ or beg you for a thing, then I’ll no longer be a Chen."

She was gambling. She was betting that after all their years together, Zhao Jian wouldn’t have the heart to strike her down. She had to admit, that fool, as much of a loser as he was, had always been incredibly loyal in their relationship, no different from a groveling simp. Chen Su was certain that Zhao Jian couldn’t bear to sever all ties with her. At most, he would take back his money, and this whole affair would be over. They would go their separate ways, never to cross paths again.

"Then let’s kill her," Shen Fanyun said suddenly, shattering Chen Su’s train of thought.

Even more terrifying was Zhao Jian’s light response, "Okay!"

What did that mean? Disregarding their past, ignoring all the little moments they’d shared over the years, he was just going to have her eliminated? This Zhao Jian... he’s really grown a spine now, hasn’t he?

"What did you say?" Chen Su glared, trying to make Zhao Jian realize his mistake and back down.

But Zhao Jian just watched her with cold indifference. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Zhao Jian?" Chen Su suddenly felt a wave of panic. His gaze was chilling, utterly devoid of emotion. This... Had she misjudged him?

"Did you think I still have feelings for you? That I couldn’t bear to finish you off?" Zhao Jian sneered and slapped her so hard her mind went blank. "Sorry, you judged wrong. A bitch like you? I’d rather grind you into paste and feed you to the dogs. And you expect me to be sentimental about our past? About our feelings? Aren’t you a little too full of yourself? Are there no good women left in the world? Why would I hang myself from a rotten tree like you? Huh?"

SMACK! Zhao Jian put his full strength into the blow, and blood erupted from Chen Su’s mouth and nose. The pain was so intense she nearly fainted. She was silent for a moment, her head ringing.

Finally coming to her senses through the searing pain, Chen Su capitulated. "Zhao Jian, I... I know I was wrong. I truly know it now. Yes, yes, Hong Tao! It was all Hong Tao! He told me to do it. I didn’t want to target you, it was all him! That bastard forced me to! I... I was never really that malicious toward you!"

Making a split-second decision, Chen Su pulled out her phone and found Hong Tao’s number.

"Hello? Su Su, what’s up?" a man’s voice came from the other end.

Forcing herself to remain calm, Chen Su said, "Come to the hospital."

"Huh? Did that loser Zhao Jian’s old mother finally croak? Heh heh, good news, good news! I wonder when that mutt Zhao Jian will follow his old hag to the grave. By the way, I’ve been looking at travel guides. Once I pick a destination, we’ll take Zhao Jian’s money and go on a world tour. Using his money, sleeping with the woman he loves, and getting to see his mother die in the hospital... hahaha, this is so damn exciting! I’m on my way."

Chen Su managed a few shaky replies before hanging up. Based on Hong Tao’s words, even if he didn’t die today, he’d be skinned alive. One could be shameless, but one shouldn’t be so utterly depraved. Hong Tao had gone far beyond mere depravity.

"He’s... he’s on his way," Chen Su told Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian scratched his ear. "I heard him."

Only now did Old Master Chen fully realize what kind of monstrous granddaughter he had raised. "You... You’re going to be the death of me! How could you get mixed up with someone so depraved?" he coughed violently, overwhelmed with regret. If this hadn’t happened, Zhao Jian could have been a fine match for her.

Now, everything was ruined. For the sake of twenty million, the Chen Family was now one step away from total collapse.

"Rest up. You’ll need your strength for what comes next," Shen Fanyun advised Zhao Jian, leisurely crossing his legs.

Zhao Jian nodded grimly, saving his strength.

About twenty minutes later, footsteps echoed from down the hall. "Su Su? Su Su, which room are you in? Su Su, I’m here!"

SLAM! The door flew open. Hong Tao, sporting a mane of explosive yellow hair, froze in place. Chen Su was kneeling on the floor, her face slapped to a pulp. If he hadn’t recognized her clothes, he never would have connected this broken figure with the beautiful woman he knew.

"This..." Hong Tao sensed something was terribly wrong. Forgetting all about Chen Su, he spun around to run.

BANG! Zhao Jian’s kick sent him sprawling face-first. "Too late. I’ve been waiting for you."

"You bitch! You fucking sold me out?" Hong Tao roared from the floor, his voice cracking with fury as he stared at Chen Su.

Then, a foot came down hard on his head, the pressure steadily increasing. A bone-deep agony shot through him, making his limbs convulse uncontrollably. The pain was excruciating.

"That day, you stomped on my head just like this," Zhao Jian’s voice was as cold as ice. "Today, I’m returning the favor!"

Kneeling to one side, Chen Su trembled violently.
