WBSGVS Chapter 98 V1

Su Tang’s attack was like child’s play to Qing Li.

With a simple motion, Qing Li blocked her strike and swiftly kicked Su Tang in the knee. A loud thud echoed as Su Tang’s kneecap hit the floor.

“Ahhh!!” Su Tang let out a piercing scream, the pain so intense her body began to convulse.

Qing Li smirked and took two steps back. Gazing at the woman kneeling before her, she feigned surprise. “Oh my, what’s this? Such a grand gesture for me?”

A staff member entering the restroom glanced at the scene, their expression turning awkward. Without a word, they quickly slipped into a stall, muttering internally, The entertainment industry is just too weird.

Su Tang, kneeling to Qing Li?

Wasn’t she supposed to be this haughty princess of the industry? The one who shrugged off criticism like it was nothing?

“You—” Su Tang growled, her voice low and venomous, clearly wanting to spit out some harsh words.

Qing Li looked down at her, her smile widening as she lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her white sneaker, drawing all attention to it. “Say one more word, and I’ll make sure this foot takes out every last one of your teeth.”

Su Tang froze, swallowing the words that had been bubbling up. Rage and humiliation clouded her eyes, but she dared not defy Qing Li.

Moments earlier, she had attempted to strike Qing Li, but before she could process what was happening, she found herself on her knees, her body racked with pain. It left her with a newfound fear of Qing Li’s physical prowess.

Qing Li didn’t press further. The damage was already done—Su Tang would likely need a wheelchair for some time. Pushing her luck any further might cross the line of self-defense. Seeing Su Tang cowed into submission, Qing Li finally spoke in a low, chilling tone: “Good girl. Now, if you provoke me again, don’t blame me for reporting something else. After all, you died too early last time to know just how many skeletons the Su Corporation has in its closet.”

Su Tang shuddered, her face pale with terror. Her teeth chattered as she croaked, “Please… don’t…”

Qing Li brushed past her without another glance, walking out of the restroom with complete composure.

The original Qing Li had harbored a deep hatred for Su Tang, and for good reason. Su Tang had always played the innocent while secretly scheming. Despite claiming she didn’t care for Ye Minhang, she used her newfound perspective after her first life to seduce him, manipulate situations, and ruin Qing Li’s career. In the end, Su Tang had stood above her, reveling in her misery.

That’s why Qing Li had deliberately revealed that she, too, had been reborn—to crush Su Tang’s spirit. To let her know that this time, Qing Li would always be one step ahead, watching her struggle helplessly.

For someone like Su Tang, death could be an escape. Only this kind of psychological domination could make her truly suffer.

As Qing Li walked away, her mind was clear—there was no need to beat a dog when it was already down.

Behind her, Su Tang remained on the cold restroom floor, her body trembling. The fear from her confrontation with Qing Li engulfed her.

Qing Li had been reborn too.

In her last life, Su Tang couldn’t defeat her.

In this life, despite stealing Ye Minhang and sabotaging her career, Su Tang still found herself outmatched. Meanwhile, Qing Li used her rebirth to learn, grow, and even master the art of investment.

“Waaahh!” A loud wail echoed in the restroom.

The staff member who had been hiding in the stall froze, startled. Deciding they’d had enough, they hurriedly left the restroom without looking back.

Hearing the commotion, Su Tang’s assistant rushed over and gasped at the sight of her. She bent down to help her up, only for Su Tang to cry even harder. “It hurts! It hurts so much!”

The assistant noticed Su Tang’s knee, now swollen and bruised, with a color so alarming it made her stomach churn. Panicking, she fumbled for her phone and called Ji Yan.

“Ji Yan, Sister Su Tang is hurt—she can’t move!”

“I’ll be there immediately. Send me the address,” Ji Yan replied without hesitation.

The assistant hung up, a flicker of envy in her eyes. Now that’s loyalty. Despite being dumped, Ji Yan still rushed to her side the moment she needed help.

She sent him the address, and 30 minutes later, Ji Yan arrived.

The moment Su Tang saw him, she flung herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. “Ji Yan, I’m so scared… so scared…”

Qing Li is terrifying.

In her previous life, their paths rarely crossed. Whenever they did, Ye Minhang would always shield Qing Li, standing by her side and ensuring nothing ever touched her. After their marriage, the two were inseparable.

But this life was different. Their confrontation had left Su Tang feeling utterly humiliated. Her rebirth felt like a cruel joke—she was just a clown, destroying herself while Qing Li watched, cold and detached.

Ji Yan’s heart ached at her tears. Gently, he carried her to his car and drove straight to the hospital, taking care of her every step of the way.

Before long, the incident made its way to the trending topics.

Although Su Tang wasn’t that famous, anything related to love triangles was always fodder for gossip.

Online chatter ignited:

• “Wow, does this mean they’re not broken up?”
• “No way. My friend works as a waiter and saw Su Tang kissing Ye Minhang. They’ve broken up!”
• “So she’s two-timing? Juicy! What’s Su Tang’s secret that has these two guys so whipped?”
• “Both guys are trash! Ye Minhang probably cheated while married!”
• “These people are brainless. Qing Li is leagues better than Su Tang. Good thing she divorced and left that mess behind.”
• “Leave Qing Li out of this. She’s focused on her career. Don’t drag her down with these losers!”

While the internet buzzed, Ye Minhang was busy. By the time he picked up his phone, night had fallen.

Several missed calls from his parents stared back at him. He hadn’t answered—not because he didn’t have the time, but because he didn’t want to. Their endless lectures to break up with Su Tang were the last thing he wanted to hear.

He ignored the calls and leaned back, feeling the weight of disappointment from his family and mounting failures at work. With his grandfather already considering handing the company reins to his cousin, Ye Minhang felt more lost than ever.
