Chapter 72 -72: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (22)
“But look at the kind of man she ended up with.”
First, he refused to acknowledge that the child in Su Mo’s belly was his seed.
Not until the scandal became too disgraceful did he reluctantly admit it.
As a result, although the couple did marry and have a child, to say that they fought once every five days and had smaller quarrels every three days would be an understatement.
The young couple didn’t care for the child, consumed with all sorts of trivial things day in and day out.
The old couple, who hadn’t worried themselves for many years, were so tormented by these upsetting events that they aged rapidly.
In just a short span of one or two years, their backs had bent.
Ma Li already felt deep regret.
She regretted being too harsh and critical to Su Li in those past years.
Otherwise, it should be their turn to enjoy life by now, much like the rich ladies on TV who could leisurely pass their days playing mahjong and drinking tea.
Instead, here she was, retired yet forced to look for a job because her pension was not enough to support the expenses of the household.
Especially with the growing demands of their little grandson, their household expenditures were becoming more and more burdensome.
Ma Li was filled with regret, and Su Mo also harbored some remorse in her heart.

But her regret was different from her mother’s.
She still despised Su Li as much as ever, and given the chance, she would still seize any opportunity to kick Su Li while she was down.
What she regretted was how she had been blinded by Cheng Bo back then, actually believing that he was a good catch.
Perhaps it was not so much about whether Cheng Bo was good or bad, but rather that he was the only one with some connection to Su Li.
The thrill of snatching him away had clouded her judgment.
Thinking about these things, Su Mo felt her hatred for Su Li deepen still.
It was still Su Li’s fault; if not for her, how could she ever have gotten entangled with Cheng Bo in the first place.
Indeed, some people seem to be a perfect match, always ready to blame others for all of their mistakes.
On TV, “Today’s Entertainment” was reporting on the latest news about Su Li.
Su Mo buried her head in the sofa cushions, but it could not block the sound piercing her ears.
Su Li had bought another expensive colored diamond…
Su Li had been proposed to by another tycoon…
Su Li…
Always Su Li…
Why did she always seem to loom like a persisting specter.
In the TV, her paparazzi-shot photos glowed radiantly, adorned with dazzling luxury from head to toe.
Compared to her own abject state, Su Mo felt suffocated.
Envy made her grotesque.
But the huge chasm between the two of them meant that no matter what Su Mo thought, she couldn’t affect Su Li in the slightest.
Sometimes, living a better life than someone else is the greatest revenge of all.
When Su Li passed away in her lifetime, she donated all her fortune to the state.
Only at this moment did people realize just how wealthy this woman, who had long dominated the headlines of the entertainment industry, really was.
Her investment acumen also became known.
And what most delighted people was her unique affection for all shiny, expensive things.
Her personal collection of diamonds and gold alone was worth over a billion.
Not to mention her other costly accessories, handbags.
She truly bore the attributes of a dragon.
——————–
The morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the room, coating the warm-toned interior with a layer of radiance.
Upon the princess bed at the center of the room, a figure lay curled up, their long breaths softly floating through the space.
“Xiao Li, time to get up and have breakfast.”
The room door received two gentle knocks as a gentle female voice echoed from the other side.
As Su Li opened her eyes on the bed, a gleam of light flashed rapidly in her dark, deep eyes, then returned to normal at once.
After the end of the last world, Su Li was still returned to Chaos. After absorbing the Merit Golden Light, she felt different than the previous times.
She felt something sealed deep within her consciousness. With each increase in Merit Golden Light absorbed, she had a perception this time around.
And although Su Li had no clarity about what that sealed entity was, deep down, she sensed it must be something crucial to her.
Suddenly, Su Li felt an urgency. This time, in Chaos, she fought to maintain her consciousness, refusing to slip into unconsciousness. She was successful.
The next moment, she woke up in this body on the bed.
Su Li didn’t encounter the consciousness of this body; it seemed to have vanished long ago, leaving only the memories stored within.
Su Li accepted them with ease.
After viewing the memories, Su Li nearly couldn’t stop herself from swearing.
The plight of this body was truly miserable.
Unbearably miserable…
What does it feel like to be deceived by a childhood friend you’ve grown up with?
And what if this friend turned out to be toxic?
Shi Shen was precisely such a poisonous childhood friend.
Su Li and Shi Shen had been classmates since kindergarten, and they were neighbors too.
Every day, the pair would go to school together and return home together. At one time, they were as close as if they were the same person.
Mrs. Shi even joked with a laugh, suggesting to set up a child betrothal for them.
Such days lasted until they both started middle school.
However, Su Li had only been in middle school for half a year when Mr. Su decided to go into business elsewhere, which finally separated them.
Su Li moved with her parents to a new school.
In the first year, they still kept in touch. But eventually, as both their studies grew in intensity and they made new friends, their communication gradually ceased.
It wasn’t until Su Li went to college in Shanghai that she ran into this childhood buddy on campus.
Su Li thought this was fate arranged by the heavens for them, but little did she know, this encounter would cost her life.
Full of joy, Su Li believed that the boy next door who treated her with extra gentleness shared the same affections as her, and she hung her heart on Shi Shen.
Unexpectedly, all he wanted was her kidney.
At the point when their relationship seemingly warmed, Shi Shen disclosed his suffering from uremia, in need of a kidney transplant.
By a twist of fate, Su Li was a perfect match for him.
Su Li donated a kidney to Shi Shen without her family’s knowledge, but she didn’t anticipate the subsequent rejection.
This time, Su Li didn’t dare keep it secret from her family; after all, she only had one kidney left and couldn’t afford to lose it.
But before she could tell them, a premeditated car accident befell her.
Only at the brink of death did she realize the truth.
It turned out Shi Shen wasn’t sick at all; he was healthy.
The real recipient in need of a kidney was someone else—the girl that Shi Shen loved the most.
Even their initial coincidental reunion had been meticulously planned.
Her kidney was transplanted into the other girl, but severe rejection occurred, followed by a demand for her other kidney.
The childhood friend whom she believed shared her feelings actually harbored murderous intentions.
She died with resentment, witnessing Shi Shen using their connection to approach her parents.
She saw Shi Shen steal her father’s business secrets to aid his girlfriend’s family company.
She saw her father, unable to cope with the consecutive blows of the company’s bankruptcy and overwhelming debt, commit suicide by jumping off a building.
She watched as her mother lived a desolate, depressed life, while the malicious couple lived happily and joyfully.
She was filled with hatred, hating her own naivety, but most of all, she despised her own decision to welcome the wolf into the house.
