On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

A dark, insane thought, like a poisonous vine breaking free of all restraints, grew wildly and coiled around her mind—

She had this thought once before, on that stormy night.

That night, she hoped that this woman would disappear from her family forever and never appear again!

But that night, she didn't have the chance to achieve it.

But later, this woman did indeed disappear from her family's sight and never reappeared.

This also put an end to her extreme thoughts. But she never expected that this woman would suddenly reappear in her field of vision today, even appearing in a way that overwhelmed her, causing her to be compared and belittled as worthless!
Why?! Why should she live in this woman's shadow?! Why should she be compared to and humiliated like this?!

This eyesore of an "older sister" who steals her father's attention, her relatives' attention, and makes her a product of comparison must be completely eliminated!

Only when she disappears will her father start focusing solely on her again, the family will return to peace, and she will no longer have to live in this disgusting comparison!
She would never allow Su Yuqing to steal even a sliver of the love that belonged to her! She had to destroy her completely!
This university banquet, which was already on a flimsy foundation, at this moment completely transformed into a fuse that ignited Su Yaxi's resentment and murderous intent.

Su Chengfeng and his relatives' unintentional words became the last straw that broke Su Yaxi's rationality, catalyzing her long-hidden jealousy and resentment, as well as her morbid desire for exclusive possession, into an irreversible murderous intent.

Su Yaxi, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised it. The mask of indifference on her face shattered instantly, replaced by a twisted expression that was a mixture of humiliation and intense resentment.

She stared intently at Su Yuqing, her eyes like poisoned knives.

This outsider who should have been kicked out of their home long ago, this intruder who stole a part of her fatherly love, why does he now have the right to be her role model?
Why did her father have to use that tone, talking about the person she looked down on the most, to lecture her? The relatives' hypocritical praise and her father's glaring pride felt like needles pricking her heart!
However, Su Yaxi's rationality quickly made her lower her head again, using her long bangs to cover her distorted face and her eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

She couldn't watch anymore; if she kept watching, she was afraid she would lose control and overturn the table on the spot!
Her hands, which were under the table, were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, bringing a sharp pain. But this pain actually cleared her chaotic and frantic mind a little.

It cannot be triggered here.

Absolutely not.

Otherwise, the flawless "good girl" persona she has painstakingly maintained until now would completely collapse.

In the eyes of everyone—neighbors, teachers, relatives, and even her father Su Chengfeng himself—Su Yaxi was always a child who, apart from not getting perfect grades, was almost perfect in every other aspect.

She is a sweet and considerate daughter, handing her father slippers when he comes home from get off work, preparing handmade gifts for Lin Shiya on Mother's Day, and sweetly addressing all the elders at family gatherings, behaving both well-behaved and sensible.

She was a hardworking and ambitious student. Although her grades were not top-notch, they were still above average, and she would occasionally have a breakthrough performance. She never caused trouble at school.

The teacher's comments always say, "Quiet and down-to-earth, respectful to teachers."

She would proactively show her parents how hard she was studying, even if it was just pretending to open her books. She was a kind and loving younger sister. To outsiders who didn't know the inside story, although her half-sister didn't visit often, when she was occasionally asked about her, she would always show just the right amount of regret and tolerance, never saying a bad word about Su Yuqing. Instead, she would sensibly say, "I really hope my sister can come more often. I've invited her to our house to play many times, but my sister is probably a bit introverted, so she hasn't agreed much and comes less often."

She said this because she knew Su Yuqing's personality; even if someone asked, this older sister wouldn't reveal her lie.

This performance successfully fooled many people, and even Su Chengfeng once thought that his youngest daughter was magnanimous.

She was well-mannered, neatly dressed, and met all the standards expected of a good girl.

Lin Shiya even regards her as a model of her successful education, praising her tirelessly in front of outsiders.

She wore this mask of a good girl for over a decade, so skillfully that it almost became her second skin.

She knew exactly how to use this mask to gain her father's affection, her relatives' praise, her teacher's favoritism, and... to eliminate those who disagreed with her.

However, beneath this perfect disguise lies a heart riddled with holes, already corrupted by jealousy, possessiveness, and extreme selfishness.

The long-term pretense did not make her more sincere; instead, it acted like a boiler under increasing pressure, suppressing all her dark emotions and brewing an even more violent outburst.

She cannot tolerate any behavior that challenges this perfect image, nor can she tolerate anyone who might threaten her exclusive affection.

Su Yuqing's existence is the greatest threat to her perfect world!
Every time Su Yuqing appeared, she felt that the carefully maintained mask was about to collapse.

Of everyone present, only Chen Mo and Su Yuqing knew very well that Su Yaxi was an extremely selfish, controlling, ruthless, and meticulous person, who was just pretending to be well-behaved and sensible on the surface!

At this moment, everything at the banquet felt like sharp needles, constantly piercing her already unbearable facade.

She had to use all her strength to suppress the madness that was about to burst forth from her body and destroy everything.

She took a deep breath, the air carrying the greasy smell of food and drinks from the private room, and the insincere warmth of human relationships, making her feel nauseous.

She forced herself to loosen her fist, picked up the drink glass on the table, and sipped it slowly. The cold liquid slid down her throat, temporarily suppressing the burning urge to scream and destroy everything.

"Ya Xi? Why aren't you saying anything? Did you hear what your father told you?" Su Chengfeng asked again when he saw his daughter keeping her head down and not speaking. His tone was a little displeased that his father's authority had been challenged, as if he felt that his daughter was not giving him face in such an important occasion.

Lin Shiya immediately gave her husband a light kick under the table, her smile unchanged, and said softly, "The child is just shy. So many people are praising her sister, she's happy for her sister, isn't she, Ya Xi?"

As she spoke, she gave her daughter's arm a warning squeeze. (End of Chapter)
