After saying that, Su Mingyu turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by King Yu by the wrist. "Don't be in such a hurry. We haven't had a meal yet."
Su Mingyu never expected this and immediately waved away King Yu's hand. "Let go of me! I don't want to see him right now."
"Don't you want to know how she led Gu Ruobai onto the path of no return step by step?" King Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Mingyu with a hint of temptation in his eyes.
Su Mingyu wasn't buying it at all. She let out a cold snort and said contemptuously, "Does the process matter? Now the outcome is that Gu Ruobai has left me. Are you happy? Your goal has been achieved. Do you still want to force me to raise my glass and celebrate with you now?"
As she said this, Su Mingyu glared at King Yu resentfully. "Don't even think about it. Although Gu Ruobai has divorced me, in my heart, I'm still his wife. You guys are the chief culprits who caused the separation of our couple. I'll hate you for the rest of my life!"
After saying that, Su Mingyu directly pushed open the door and ran out. But she had only taken a few steps when she was grabbed back by King Yu.
King Yu pressed her onto a stool, forcing her to sit still, and then said coldly, "I just want to have a good meal with you. If you insist on arguing with me, then I'll have no choice but to send someone to bring Zhizhu here."
At the mention of Zhizhu, all of Su Mingyu's anger dissipated instantly. She bit her lower lip tightly and gave King Yu a mocking look. "You can only threaten me with the people around me."
King Yu raised his eyebrows. "I don't care what means I use."
Su Mingyu snorted. "I'm not hungry. You can eat by yourselves if you want."
Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't even turn her face in Tang Yan's direction, King Yu curled his lips and gave Tang Yan a meaningful look.
Tang Yan lowered his eyes and let out a silent sigh. There was a faint, unusual emotion in his eyes as he looked at Su Mingyu.
"Since that's the case, then you can just sit here. We two will eat slowly."
King Yu knew that Su Mingyu was in a bad mood, so he didn't force her. But the way he sat down and praised the delicious food while eating really made Su Mingyu hate him to the core!
She had been brought here by him early in the morning and hadn't had a single drop of water until now.
Then, after seeing Tang Yan, she was so angry that she was on the verge of losing it. Smelling the aroma of the food behind her, Su Mingyu forced herself not to turn around and just sat there stiffly.
It was clearly less than an hour, but to Su Mingyu, it felt like a century.
Finally, King Yu finished eating. He wiped his mouth, came to Su Mingyu's side, and glanced at her. "Are you hungry?"
Su Mingyu didn't even blink. "I'm not hungry. If you're done eating, let's go back quickly. I don't want to stay in this place for a single extra moment."
After saying that, Su Mingyu stood up and was about to walk out. She had only taken a few steps when she heard Tang Yan's voice from behind. "Do you really not want to see me at all?"
Su Mingyu didn't even turn her head. "It's not just you. If I could, I wouldn't want to see King Yu or your younger brother, Tang Ziyan. All of you are my enemies. If I could, I'd like to wipe you out right now."
As she said this, Su Mingyu raised her hand and touched her stomach. Her tone softened a lot. "But I have more important things to do now, so I'm too lazy to argue with you. But that doesn't mean that I'll smile at you when you come right up to my face."
After saying that, Su Mingyu gave King Yu a meaningful look. "If you think my behavior is too much, then let me go."
"How could I let you go? I still want you to accompany me and see the beautiful scenery of the country." King Yu smiled at Su Mingyu. "You can kill me at any time, but if anything happens to me, then Gu Ruobai, who is far away in the wilderness, might not have an easy time."
Su Mingyu snorted and didn't even bother to roll her eyes. "You only have this kind of trick."
After saying that, Su Mingyu didn't bother to care about the people behind her and walked straight out.
King Yu watched from behind and wasn't in a hurry to chase. He believed that Su Mingyu was a smart person. Now he held the lives of her two good friends in his hands, as well as Gu Ruobai's. As long as Su Mingyu wasn't stupid, she would know that running away now would definitely do her no good.
"You said you would treat her well." Tang Yan frowned and looked at King Yu.
"Haven't I treated her well enough?" King Yu raised his eyebrows. "You've seen it too. It's her who dislikes you and me, not that I don't want to treat her well."
As he said this, King Yu picked up a wine cup and poured himself a glass of wine. "You've seen her, and you should have gotten your answer. She doesn't care about you at all. If there's really any feeling, it's hatred, endless hatred."
Tang Yan tightly clenched the cup in his hand. It took him a long time for his complexion to return to normal. "Remember what you said. Return our salt fields to us."
"Of course I will return them. But I can only return the salt fields to you with peace of mind after you guys go back." When King Yu said this, there was a sharp glint in his eyes.
Tang Yan's face darkened. "You don't trust me?"
"I don't mean that I don't trust you. It's just that caution is the parent of safety." As King Yu said this, he put down the wine cup and then gave Tang Yan a deep look. "But there's one thing I still hope you can remember. You can't defeat me in the capital, and when you return to your hometown, you'll be even less likely to defeat me. There are some things that should be let go when the time comes. Otherwise, in the end, you'll lose everything."
There was an obvious warning in King Yu's last words. As long as Tang Yan wasn't stupid, he would know that he was talking about Su Mingyu.
"Heh... I know." Tang Yan gave a self - mocking smile. "All I want now is to get back my salt fields and go back to my hometown with my younger brother to live a good life. Everything in the capital will be taken with me into the coffin."
King Yu nodded appreciatively. "It's really convenient to talk to smart people."
After saying that, King Yu took out a silver ingot from his bosom. "This meal is to welcome you. You can eat slowly. Mingyu is still waiting for me below."
Watching King Yu's departing back, Tang Yan tightly clenched his palms. His pair of pitch - black eyes were full of gloom.
Sure enough, just as King Yu had thought, Su Mingyu was waiting in the carriage. When King Yu got in, Su Mingyu had already closed her eyes to rest, looking like she didn't want to communicate at all.
Seeing this, King Yu didn't force it. He just sat opposite Su Mingyu and said to himself, "It was Tang Yan who said he wanted to see you."
Su Mingyu still didn't say a word.
King Yu continued, "You're really wonderful. So many people want you. But it doesn't matter. No matter how many people compete with me for you, I'll defeat them one by one, just like I did with Gu Ruobai."
