Chapter 193: Envy
Liang Zhou asked regretfully, “He’s still not awake?”
Su Tong nodded and sighed. With a long drawl, she said, “The doctor he might remain like this forever.”
Liang Zhou could not help but widen her eyes. “Then… T-then, what about you and your child.”
Su Tong shrugged. “There’s no point worrying about it now. After all, my husband isn’t dead yet. As long as he’s alive, there’s nothing to worry about…” She no longer wanted to speak about this so she changed the topic and asked, “What did you say earlier? I didn’t hear you…”
With these words, Liang Zhou finally remembered the purpose of her visit. She moved closer and said in a lowered voice, “Do you know that Song Ning is pregnant?”
Su Tong looked as though she had been struck by a bolt of lightning as soon as she heard these words.
This was the reaction Liang Zhou wanted.
Su Tong asked in a trembling voice, “W-what did you say?”
Liang Zhou pursed his lips. “You don’t know about it? The Old Madam is really something; she kept such joyous news from the world. If I didn’t happen to overhear their conversation, we would’ve been kept in the dark. Tell me, what reason is there for her to keep it a secret? Shouldn’t such joyous news be made known to everyone?”
Su Tong muttered to herself, as though she did not hear Liang Zhou’s words, “Why is she so lucky? Why is her life so good?”
Liang Zhou smiled disdainfully. “So what if she’s pregnant? Haven’t you been pregnant before? There’s still such a long time before she gives birth; who can guarantee there won’t be any accident during that time? Even if she safely gives birth; we still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. Apart from that, it takes a long time for a child to grow up. Who knows if it’ll be able to grow up safely and healthily. Su Tong, don’t you agree?”
Su Tong looked at Liang Zhou in a daze. “Accident?”
Liang Zhou nodded and smiled sweetly. “Yes, accident. There are many kinds of accidents, don’t you think?”
Su Tong said solemnly, “Old Madam protects her like a treasure; she won’t even let anyone see her. How can there be an accident? Similarly, Mu Chen protects her as though she’s his life as well. Liang Zhou, how can someone be so lucky? She’s born into a wealthy family and married into a wealthy family. In her maiden home, she was treated like a princess; in her husband’s home, she’s treated like the empress…” She grabbed Liang Zhou’s hand tightly and said fiercely, “Liang Zhou, tell me! Why do you think God favors her so much? Why is she given everything that’s good? Why? What did she do to deserve all these things?”
Liang Zhou’s hand hurt from Su Tong’s grip; she had to exert some force to remove Su Tong’s hand. After she suppressed the annoyance that rose in her heart, she led Su Tong to sit on the couch. “Su Tong, calm down. What God’s favor? It’s just a little luck. You believe in fate? Well, I don’t believe in it. Whether it’s mine or not, as long as it’s something I like, I’ll fight for it. I thought we’re the same kind of people…”
Su Tong’s eyes gradually lit up and he muttered, “Right, right, we have to fight for the things we want. If we don’t fight for it, no one will give it to us. For lowly people like us, how are we going to get anything if we don’t fight for it?”
Liang Zhou looked at the dazed Su Tong, greatly satisfied. Now that her objective had been achieved, she quietly left the ward.
As soon as the door closed, the wooden expression on Su Tong’s face vanished immediately. She said to herself icily, “You’re just an unacknowledged mistress, and you think you can trick me? With your ability, you think you can use my hand to act?”
After a moment, Su Tong’s voice turned even colder as she said, “That Ning Xia is really lucky. After I asked her to give up the right to inherit the Ning family’s assets, she’s pregnant with the heir of the Mu family. She makes me so envious that I’ve no choice but to plot against her. Why? We’re both humans, but why is she so lucky?”
