Chapter 14: Dealing with the Lackey

With that thought, he hurriedly tried to persuade her, “Princess, this is not the time to be throwing a tantrum. You should soften your attitude. Senior Ruan will be here soon, and you...”
“Looks like you’re truly deaf. I’ve said it so many times, and not a single word has reached your ears.”
“If that’s the case, then get lost!”
“Get lost?”
“What else could the princess mean by that?”
“You’re just barking, huh?”
Fan Tong listened in disbelief—Hua Susu was actually kicking him out.
“Besides you, is there a second dog here?”
Hua Susu glanced him up and down with a look of contempt.
“Princess, what are you talking about?”
“If it’s just because of some angry words just now, don’t worry—I’ll pretend I didn’t hear a thing and won’t tell Senior Ruan. Princess, you...”
The same old nonsense from this good-for-nothing went on and on. She wasn’t tired of hearing it; her ears had practically grown calluses.
“You good-for-nothing, have you eaten too much? I told you to get lost!” Hua Susu grew angry after repeating herself several times.
Seeing Hua Susu’s fury, Fan Tong finally realized she was serious.
His pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
This was the second time she had shown him no mercy. Could it be she had truly given up on Senior Ruan?
He shook his head, unwilling to believe it.
Impossible. How could Hua Susu ever give up on Senior Ruan?
He’d sooner believe Su Yu was slandering her than accept that she no longer liked Ruan Nan.
That’s right—Su Yu must have told Hua Susu bad things about Senior Ruan, which is why she was now driving him away.
After all, Hua Susu was currently upset with Ruan Nan.
Only he could mediate the conflict between them. If his relationship with Hua Susu soured, then her relationship with Ruan Nan would never improve.
He never expected Su Yu, who always seemed so cold and aloof, to have such a vicious nature.
Stirring up trouble right here!
Thankfully, he was smart enough to figure it out, or he might have fallen for it.
With that thought, Fan Tong pointed angrily at Su Yu and scolded, “So it was you! I was wondering why you, who never do experiments, suddenly showed up in the lab. Turns out you had this scheme. I almost got fooled!”
Then, filled with righteous indignation, he looked at Hua Susu and said, “Princess, don’t be deceived by him. This whole thing today was orchestrated by him. Did he say bad things about Senior Ruan in front of you?”
“I’m telling you, he deliberately provoked me, trying to sow discord between us, making me furious with you so that you and Senior Ruan would never reconcile!”
“Don’t you dare believe him!”
Even someone as imaginative as Hua Susu was left speechless by Fan Tong’s wild accusations.

She looked at him dumbfounded. “Are you sick or something?”
“If you don’t want to leave, then I’ll have to kick someone out!”
“Someone, come here!”
“Kick someone out?”
“Princess, are you serious?” Fan Tong, who had been confidently arguing, was startled by her words.
“When have I ever lied?” Hua Susu sneered at Fan Tong. “I think I made myself very clear last time—I’m not interested in Ruan Nan. Don’t hang around in front of me anymore.”
Fan Tong was completely stunned by this.
What was going on?
Was Hua Susu just throwing a princess’s tantrum, or did she really no longer want Senior Ruan?
Could those posts on the Brain Forum be true?
Had Hua Susu truly changed her ways and turned over a new leaf?
No.
If that were the case, why was Su Yu still carrying the lowest-grade pale blue chip key today?
Senior Ruan’s golden chip key had always been in his hands.
Thinking this, he felt somewhat confident.
Perhaps Hua Susu was just angry now; after a few days, when she calmed down, she would regret sending someone to give him things, apologize, and ask him to relay a message to Senior Ruan.
After all, this kind of thing had happened before.
If she was just angry, there was no need to rush things.
Although being kicked out was a bit embarrassing, it was better than being carried out.
Fan Tong said no more and turned to leave.
But just as he raised his foot, a cold voice stopped him: “Wait, I almost forgot, there’s one more thing I need from you.”
Here she goes again?
Fan Tong immediately straightened his back and his eyes gleamed faintly.
No wonder Hua Susu wouldn’t give up on Ruan Nan so easily.
He turned back with a smile, hoping for some good news.
But the next moment, Hua Susu said coldly, “Did you apologize to Su Yu for barking like a mad dog just now?”
“What?”
“I remember you were cursing him earlier. How can you not apologize after insulting someone? Don’t you commoners have any manners?”
They always used the fact that she was a princess as an excuse, complaining about how hard it was for commoners.
But in truth, it was nothing but envy and jealousy.

When dealing with such people, Hua Susu believed in exposing their hypocritical virtue face to face.
People who talk endlessly about righteousness and morality care about those things the most.
“Apologize? Did I say anything wrong just now?”
Hua Susu looked at him with a half-smile, half-smirk. “What do you think?”
Without hesitation, Fan Tong denied, “Princess, you must have misheard. I didn’t say anything bad about Su Yu.”
“I won’t apologize for something I didn’t do. Even if you’re the princess, you can’t force me.”
“Force you?”
“Was it me who forced you into this lab?”
“I don’t recall giving you the chip key to this lab!”
“Good-for-nothing, how did you get in?”
Hua Susu suddenly asked pointedly.
Of course, she hadn’t given him the lab’s chip key, but she had given it to Ruan Nan.
He often ran errands for Ruan Nan—what was wrong with using the key to get into the lab?
Good buddies share resources, don’t they?
A hint of unease flashed in his eyes. “Princess, this chip key was given to me by Senior Ruan.”
“If you think there’s a problem, you can ask Senior Ruan.”
“Ruan Nan?”
“You just reminded me—I haven’t taken back his chip key from the lab yet.”
Su Yu had expected to be humiliated, but instead, Hua Susu came out and spoke up for him.
Was she really standing up for him?
But if that were true, why had she given him a blue chip key?
Thinking this, Su Yu clenched the blue chip in his hand more tightly.
Until he heard her say she intended to take back Ruan Nan’s chip key.
He couldn’t help but say, “The golden chip key is with Fan Tong.”
Hua Susu was a bit surprised to hear this but immediately held out her hand: “In that case, hand over the golden chip!”
If he really handed over the golden chip key, his future dealings would be over. Fan Nan certainly wouldn’t agree to that.
He hesitated for a moment and said, “Princess, this chip ultimately belongs to Senior Ruan. I can’t make decisions for him. Why don’t we wait until he arrives?”
Hua Susu was still angry now; once Ruan Nan came, her thoughts might change.
