Chapter 229 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (18)
Under the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Su Yao and Li Che's faces instantly flushed red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever harmed you?"
Su Yao hurriedly denied it, her voice tinged with panic, and her speech unconsciously quickened.
"Besides, how could you possibly be Shen Chumo? You must be an imposter."
Su Yao became more and more convinced as she spoke, as if she had grasped at a lifeline.
"When we parted ways with Shen Chumo two days ago, she didn't have any superpowers at all. How could you possibly be Shen Chumo!"
Li Che calmed down as well. Yes, Shen Chumo clearly didn't have any special abilities. Even if she had been lucky enough to awaken them these past two days, it was impossible for her to be this strong.
"You guys really won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin," Shen Chumo said sarcastically, then raised her hand and took off her mask and hat.
A face as beautiful as a peach blossom appeared before everyone, with fair and delicate skin that resembled mutton fat jade, radiating a faint glow.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, shimmering with a soft sheen under the light.
At this moment, she fully revealed her true appearance. Her unique temperament and outstanding looks caused many people around her to pause in surprise.
Even those who had never met Shen Chumo before were drawn to her presence and appearance.
Upon seeing Shen Chumo's face, Su Yao's expression turned deathly pale, and her body seemed to lose its support.
It really was Shen Chumo; she wasn't dead.
Su Yao glared at her through gritted teeth. She had always been jealous of Shen Chumo's appearance. Even though she was inferior to her in every way, Shen Chumo lived a better life just because she was a few points prettier.
Now, seeing Shen Chumo again, not only was she not dead, but she had also grown even more stunningly beautiful. Her exquisite features seemed to have been carefully sculpted by the heavens, making her own ordinariness all the more apparent.
Su Yao felt her jealousy burning even brighter, like a flame doused with oil.
Li Che's eyes were practically glued to Shen Chumo's face. How could he not have noticed how beautiful Shen Chumo was? Standing next to Su Yao was like comparing the light of a firefly to the brilliance of the moon.
How could he have been so blinded by greed and betrayed Shen Chumo to be with Su Yao?
"Shen Chumo, it really is you!" Zhou Sinian exclaimed.
He looked at Su Yao and Li Che, and said incredulously, "Didn't you tell me that Shen Chumo was dead? What happened?"
Suddenly, Su Yao, who was being questioned, smiled and said happily, "Chu Mo, it really is you! That's great, you're not dead."
"After we went out, Chu Mo got lost. Li Che and I searched for a long time but couldn't find her. We were worried that you... Now that I see you are alright and have even awakened your superpower, I am so happy."
Li Che's eyes flickered, and he quickly followed suit, saying, "Yes, Chu Mo, the situation was too chaotic back then. We really did our best. Now that you're alright, come back. I missed you."
Shen Chumo used to listen to him the most. As long as he pleaded with her in a gentle tone, Shen Chumo would believe him without reservation. If he could win Shen Chumo back this time, he would definitely treat her well.
Li Che gazed at Shen Chumo with deep affection, wanting to hold her hand, but Ying Chu stopped him.
"You started attacking before you even finished speaking? Mo Mo, were you blind before? To fall for something like this." Ying Chu mocked.
"Who are you! What business is it of yours how I talk to my girlfriend?!"
Li Che was immediately enraged by Ying Chu's interception and sarcasm.
Girlfriend, this Li Che is truly shameless to the extreme. Judging from the way these two are so fearless, they probably used to bullying the original owner and think they can get away with it by just coaxing her this time.
Shen Chumo lifted her eyelids and slapped Li Che across the face.
Li Che's head snapped to the side from the sudden slap, a clear red mark instantly appearing on his face, a burning pain spreading from his cheek.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he shakily spat out a front tooth.
It was clear how hard the slap had hit; Li Che felt his head buzzing.
Su Yao stared in disbelief, "Shen Chumo, are you crazy? How dare you hit me...?"
Before Su Yao could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face as well.
Su Yao was so badly hit that she staggered a few steps to the side and almost fell to the ground.
The bearded man, A Lei, was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but shout, "Well done! These two guys deserve to be taught a lesson!"
Looking at Li Che's miserable state, Ying Chu crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and smiled, relieved.
"Consider this slap as interest. Can we talk properly now?"
Shen Chumo said with a contemptuous expression, "Try pretending to be innocent again? I still remember the faces you had when you abandoned me. You have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it."
Seeing Shen Chumo's expression, Zhou Sinian knew that Shen Chumo was absolutely telling the truth when she said that Su Yao and Li Che had harmed her.
Recalling how Su Yao and Li Che had confidently told him that Shen Chumo was dead, it now seemed that it was all a lie they had fabricated to cover up their evil deeds.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sinian's disgust for the two people increased even more.
He secretly blamed himself, wondering why he had so easily believed them and hadn't chosen to go find Shen Chumo.
Su Yao looked around and saw the unfriendly looks on everyone's faces. She knew that she was now completely isolated and helpless.
Humiliation flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly admitted her mistake, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Chu Mo, I was wrong. I was too scared. The situation was critical at the time. It was Li Che who told me not to worry about you and insisted on pulling me away. We've been best friends for over ten years. Please forgive me this time."
"Su Yao! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing Su Yao's words, Li Che's eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected Su Yao to shift all the blame onto him at this moment.
He quickly denied it, because losing a front tooth made his speech a little lisp.
"Chu Mo, it's not like that, it's her!"
Li Che pointed at Su Yao and said excitedly, "She seduced me first, and it was her idea. Chu Mo, believe me, I love you. How could I abandon you?"
"Alright," Shen Chumo said impatiently, "I don't have time to discuss who's right and who's wrong right now. You're a scumbag and a bitch, just stick together."
I'm here to retrieve my belongings.
After saying that, Shen Chumo grabbed Su Yao by the collar and ripped off the jade pendant she was wearing around her neck.
Su Yao was so frightened by this sudden action that her face turned pale. She tried to struggle, but she couldn't move. She could only watch helplessly as Shen Chumo took the jade pendant back from her neck, her eyes filled with fear and reluctance.
She exclaimed excitedly, "No, this is my jade pendant! You can't take it!"
