"You are lying!" Sun Yahui screamed in desperation. Indeed, Wen Gui was right, the very thought of living a comfortable life on the alms thrown at him by the woman he despised was something that Sun Yahui could not withstand.
Not because he was humiliated but because he knew that if his happiness was dependent on Mo Yan then he might have ruined something very important for his wife! Not to mention from what Wen Gui said, the reason Mo Yan turned a blind eye to the illegal channels was because she did not want him to come back!
Sun Yahui couldn't withstand the humiliation and embarrassment that surged in his heart. He was fine with looking down on Mo Yan but there was no way she could look down on him!
The more he thought about it the more his mental state collapsed and he couldn't help but tremble in anger. Mo Yan fed him alms? That couldn't be. This mer must be lying! How could the disgraceful woman who fell from power be influential enough to do that?
That must be it. Wen Gui must be trying to scare him.
However, something told him that it was not a lie, as Wen Gui looked at him condescendingly, Sun Yahui felt his heartbeat accelerate.
The gaze with which Wen Gui was looking at him did not change and it continued to linger on him as if he was a fool who could not understand the simplest thing.
But how could Sun Yahui accept this?
It was difficult to believe that Mo Yan whom he had looked down on all this while was actually looking down at him instead. That the reason she turned a blind eye to all the illegal activities that Madam Duan had done being ignored because Mo Yan did not want him to return?
It was a pill that was too difficult for him to swallow!
"I don't care whether you believe it or not," Wen Gui shrugged calmly as he pulled out a bottle that was filled with clear and transparent liquid. He undid the seal of the bottle and a sour and pungent smell flew out of it causing Sun Yahui to stiffen as he tried to crawl away from the mer in front of him.
Even though his legs were tied and the restraints on his shins hurt, he did not stop. Because even without Wen Gui saying something, Sun Yahui knew that the thing was dangerous.
"You are smart, Sun Yahui," remarked Wen Gui as if he was talking about the weather of the day. "Since you are so fond of Ruby Head Snakes, I guess their venom would be loved by you as well?"
