Chapter 100: Chapter 100: After Raising a Child and Getting Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled Rotten 20
Early the next morning.
Su Zhiruan took her younger brother and sister to school and had just arrived at the fried chicken shop with Li Meihua when they saw the three widows standing at the entrance.
Li Meihua, seeing these three, immediately showed disgust on her face. She tugged at Su Zhiruan’s sleeve and whispered, “They’re definitely here to cause trouble.”
Su Zhiruan didn’t speak, but simply turned her head, her gaze indifferently sweeping over the three women before finally resting on Su Caixia.
She was the main culprit in the plot that had forced the original protagonist to marry a crippled widower.
She hadn’t seen her last time; this was her first encounter with the high school girl who had ruined the original protagonist’s life.
When Su Caixia saw Su Zhiruan’s gaze fixed on her, that icy look devoid of any kindness, almost at the very first glance, she felt a strong surge of disdain and revulsion.
Su Zhiruan was beautiful, and the clothes she wore were beautiful as well. Standing there on the street, many people cast their glances at her.
Su Caixia subconsciously tightened her grip on the straps of her bag and silently hid behind the widow and the old lady.
“Well, well, look who it is! Isn’t that the abandoned Li Meihua and your family’s Zhiruan?!” said the widow, taking charge with her words. She looked down on Li Meihua, and deemed Su Zhiruan’s face little more than that of a vixen, folding her arms as she sneered and mocked.
“What do you want,sstealing other people’s men and putting on that smug look for everyone to see? Do you really think anyone respects a husband-stealing widow like you!” Li Meihua retorted coldly.
“Li Meihua, you’ve grown bolder, but what’s the meaning of this shop? So, you’ve been your mother-in-law for half your life, and now you turn against us?” the old lady scowled, clearly making things difficult.
“You—” Li Meihua, having suffered too much from the old lady, still felt fear even though they were no longer related.

Su Zhiruan wasn’t interested in wasting words and simply said with a cold face, “Ladies, this is a market area, and the police station is just across the street. If you truly want to go for a ‘tea’ inside, then I can arrange that for you right now. Disturbing public order can land you in detention for fifteen days.”
The widow and the old lady clearly didn’t believe her and even wanted to hurl more insults, but Su Caixia knew that there indeed was a police station on the street opposite. She didn’t dare take the risk.
If her classmates came to know that she was detained in the police station for creating a disturbance, it would be so embarrassing!
She quickly pulled on the two women and whispered, “She’s telling the truth.”
Instantly, the arrogance of the widow and the old lady was significantly reduced.
Su Zhiruan didn’t want to continue talking to them. Although her shop had opened, the interior decorations and other preparations were not yet complete.
However, just as she was about to lead Li Meihua inside, she heard Su Caixia cry out in surprise,
“Brother Li Jian!”
Upon seeing this, Li Meihua noticed that Su Zhiruan’s steps immediately halted, and she looked at Su Zhiruan with worry, concerned for her.
The widow and the old lady, upon seeing the young man in the distance, had looks of surprise on their faces. Seeing Su Zhiruan stop in her tracks, all three wore smug expressions.
There had been a lot of commotion concerning Su Zhiruan and Li Jian a while back.
Almost everyone in Su Village knew about it.
Li Meihua, who was well aware of some details, was originally very pleased with Li Jian, a young intellectual who had come from the city. She found him to be capable, educated, and a city resident, satisfying her completely.
But later, no one knew what happened, Li Jian suddenly stopped being good with Su Zhiruan and chose Su Caixia instead.
“Ruanruan?” Li Meihua saw Su Zhiruan looking stunned, thinking she was reminded of something sad, and asked in a worried, soft voice, “How are you?”
Su Zhiruan thought about the original plot.
She didn’t know what kind of luck it was today, but she had suddenly come face to face with the two people she wanted to take revenge on.
One was Su Caixia, and the other was Li Jian.
These two scumbags were the chief culprits who had caused the downfall of the original owner and her family.
Li Jian spotted Su Caixia here, smiled, and walked over.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, he paused—Su Zhaodi was also here!
With a determined heart, he continued walking and stood next to Su Caixia, “Caihua, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Is this lady your aunt? And there are elders.”
He greeted the widow and the old lady, his eyes, however, stealing glances at Su Zhiruan.
“Very good, you’re such a good kid!” The widow was now extremely proud, feeling like she truly was the winner in life.
She had stolen Li Meihua’s man, her daughter had stolen Su Zhiruan’s man, and now they had come to show their support, making her even more proud.
After greeting them, Li Jian then pretentiously turned his attention to Su Zhiruan and said coldly, “Zhaodi, long time no see.”
This statement dissociated him from Su Zhiruan and he didn’t even glance at Li Meihua, which starkly contrasted with how he had just greeted Su Caixia and the others.
The three widows were extremely pleased, and even Su Caixia unconsciously moved much closer to Li Jian.
Su Zhiruan casually glanced at him. Li Jian was in his twenties, with a crew cut, dark skin, wearing a blue outer shirt with a few holes in it, about 173 centimeters tall, with slightly drooping eyes, holding a briefcase in his hand.
“Zhaodi, I know you’re still not over me, but now I belong to Caihua. Even though I don’t love you anymore, you don’t have to pester me or Caihua. I know I have been favored by many, but if you truly love me, then keep this love deep in your heart,” Li Jian righteously said in a long speech, and more and more people gathered around.
Everyone thought this was juicy gossip, so they all huddled together, randomly pointing and commenting.
Su Caixia saw the current Su Zhiruan as nothing but a beaten dog, and Su Zhiruan couldn’t get her man no matter what; she really enjoyed the scene!
Su Zhiruan watched him perform his one-man show and raised an eyebrow, “Are you done acting?”
“What do you mean?” Li Jian, realizing that Su Zhiruan was mocking him, was utterly disturbed.
Su Zhiruan clapped confidently, took a few bold steps forward, and under Li Meihua’s surprised gaze, walked up to Li Jian.
Though still young, Su Caixia felt threatened that she might steal her man and immediately clutched Li Jian’s arm and eyed Su Zhiruan warily.
“First, my name is Su Zhiruan, and since you’ve been talking big in my shop, I have the right to have the police from the station take you away,” Su Zhiruan said calmly, contrasting starkly with Su Caixia who was hiding behind the man.
The crowd also pointed and commented, one confident and outgoing, the other hiding behind.
“Secondly, you don’t have to worry about me being hopelessly in love with you,” Su Zhiruan then looked at Su Caixia, her eyes clear, “and you don’t have to worry about me liking him, I have someone I like!”
