Chapter 657: Goading
Diya looked down at Su Wan. Her voice was no longer gentle, but sounded like she was gritting her teeth.
Fiennes frowned. He glanced at Diya’s face, which was distorted by anger, and felt a little disappointed.
He understood his sister’s mood, but no matter what, Diya was acting too much like a street shrew. There wasn’t even a shred of resemblance to a noble lady.
Many times, he felt that Su Wan, who was sitting on the sickbed, looked much better than Diya.
However, he could not say such things to Diya. His sister was extremely proud. If she were to learn from Su Wan, she would probably go crazy from anger.
Thinking of this, Fiennes reached out and grabbed Diya’s arm, advising her very seriously.
“Diya, you’re a girl. How can you be so rough? You even make Miss Su bark like a dog...”
“Brother, you only know how to speak up for her!”
Diya’s eyes were red. She was so angry that she could not help but tremble!
As Diya spoke, she pointed her index finger at Su Wan fiercely. The disdain in her eyes was obvious.
“Brother, look at her clearly. She looks elegant and dignified on the surface, but she’s actually just a promiscuous woman. I’m afraid that anyone can have sex with her, right? She’s even pregnant with a bastard from God knows where! Why are you still protecting her like this!”
Seeing that Diya’s words were getting more and more unbearable, Fiennes furrowed his brows. There was a deep crease between his brows!
A young girl who had yet to get married could actually say such words!
“Enough! Diya, don’t you think that you’re demeaning yourself by saying these words?”
Hearing Fiennes’ stern rebuke, Diya pursed her thin lips tightly, and her expression was one of both grievance and hatred.
As expected, that vixen’s skills were amazing. Even in this state, her brother still had to scold her for Su Wan!
She clearly had not made any mistakes!
Why did her brother have to yell at her?!
The more Diya thought about it, the more upset she felt. Her amber eyes could not help but redden, looking very pitiful.
Su Wan hugged the blanket coldly. As she listened to the two siblings of the Siswell family arguing, she could not help but feel a hint of weariness between her brows.
It was really too noisy...
Because of the action of Jiang Xuecheng slamming the door and leaving today, Su Wan’s heart was already in a mess. How could she have the mood to listen to these two siblings arguing?!
Su Wan’s expression was slightly restrained as she recalled Diya’s request just now.
Make her kneel down and bark like a dog?!
Su Wan looked up and suddenly had an idea. She glanced at the little girl not far away whose eyes were red and whose face was filled with a conflicted hatred.
“I agree to your condition just now.”
“What did you say...”
Diya widened her eyes and looked at Su Wan in disbelief.
She had always thought that this woman had a lot of pride, that she would rather die than bend!
She did not expect that she would agree to her condition so easily!
At the thought of this, Diya’s lips could not help but curve upwards in a mocking arc.
However, when Diya heard Su Wan’s next words clearly, Diya’s smile instantly disappeared from the corner of her lips.
“I previously said that if I win, I want Miss Diya to apologize. Since Miss Diya was the first to invent such an interesting method of kneeling down and barking like a dog, then if I really win, why don’t you give it a try as well?”
Diya looked at Su Wan’s slightly restrained brows and fleeting smile, and suddenly, a deep chill rose in her heart.
–This woman is just a lowly commoner, and she actually dared to make her kneel down and apologize?!
What kind of joke is this?
Diya rejected without even thinking.
“No, you want me to kneel down and apologize to you? No way!”
Hearing the expected answer, Su Wan’s gaze suddenly fixed on Diya’s expression, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer.
She knew that a person like Diya had a double standard.
For a noble like Diya, making others kneel was a small matter. Making her kneel was a real humiliation!
“Miss Diya, are you so sure that you will lose?”
Su Wan raised her eyebrows lazily and skillfully goaded her.
For someone like Diya who was arrogant, the more you provoked her, the easier it would be for her to fall for it.
“I, I...”
Diya’s body stiffened and she began to stammer. She could not even speak a complete sentence.
Just as Diya closed her eyes and wanted to agree, she was suddenly stopped by Fiennes.
“Diya, do you really want to lose all the face of the Siswell family when the time comes?”
Fiennes glanced at Su Wan with some inexplicable meaning. Only now did he realize that not only was Su Wan not as weak and easily bullied as she appeared on the surface, she was also quite clever.
However, it did not annoy him.
A beautiful woman was very attractive to begin with. It was even more rare to find someone as beautiful and intelligent as Su Wan.
It was really a pity. If Su Wan had a better background and was like his sister Diya, perhaps Su Wan would not have to live such a miserable life.
Upon hearing her brother’s words, Diya suddenly came back to her senses. When she met Fiennes’ eyes that were filled with disappointment, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
“I’m sorry, brother. I was too impulsive. It was this woman who deliberately led me on...”
After Fiennes’ advice, Diya suddenly realized that she had almost fallen for Su Wan’s trick!
Su Wan was such a vicious woman!
Diya’s eyes flashed, and the hatred she felt for Su Wan grew even stronger.
At that moment, she had completely forgotten that she was the one who had asked others to kneel down and bark like a dog. Su Wan was merely using her own way to return the favor.
When Su Wan saw that Diya had woken up, she could not help but feel a little regretful in her heart.
However, she also knew that even if Diya had impulsively agreed, when the day came to settle the score, Diya would still use her superior status to deny it.
After all, Su Wan did not have any power or influence, and her current status was very low. If Diya denied it, there was nothing she could do.
Power, that was power. Class ideology really killed people...
Su Wan felt a little helpless in her heart, but she still had to force herself to be alert. She looked at Diya without blinking, and suddenly noticed a glittering necklace on Diya’s collarbone.
That necklace was in the shape of an extremely unique snowflake. The snowflake was entirely made of pearls, and in the middle of the snowflake, there was a light blue tear-shaped gem inlaid. It was not small in size, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was expensive.
Su Wan herself was not obsessed with jewelry, but seeing that Diya wore this necklace, it was obvious that she cherished it very much. Su Wan did not mind demoralizing her.
“How about this? If I win, since it’s an apology, I’ll let Miss Diya apologize and also give me the necklace on your neck. How about that?”
“You–”
Diya saw the smile on Su Wan’s face and instantly covered the necklace on her collarbone with her hand.
She did not expect that Su Wan would actually like her necklace. This was a birthday gift from her brother. Other than being expensive to make, the most important thing was the affection between family members!
How could this woman just happen to take a fancy to this!
