Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 52
“Hmph! The Xu family sure knows how to put on a show. Is this how you treat people?”
Voices filled with indignation rose from all directions.
To the onlookers, Xu Nian’s behavior looked completely unreasonable.
Ignoring the accusations around her, Su Qingya hurriedly turned toward Xu Nian.
“Niannian, what’s wrong with you?”
A faint black mist seeped from her body, almost impossible to notice.
It quietly wrapped around Xu Nian.
Only then did the chaos in Xu Nian’s mind begin to settle.
Her breathing steadied.
The violent urge raging inside her gradually weakened.
“I… I don’t know.”
Xu Nian pressed a hand against her forehead.
“For a moment, I suddenly wanted to destroy something. No… not just something. Everything.”
As she spoke, realization struck her.
Her pupils shrank.
“An Emotiator!”
The answer appeared instantly.
The girl who had just approached them was definitely an Emotiator.
And she had already used her ability.
But why?
Why target her?
Su Qingya’s expression darkened.
If even Xu Nian had reached this conclusion, how could she not understand?
That person hadn’t stumbled over by accident.
She had come specifically for them.
More precisely—
She had come for Xu Nian.
Unforgivable.
Without hesitation, Su Qingya stepped in front of Xu Nian.
Her gaze locked onto the crying girl.
For a brief moment, a terrifying coldness flashed through her eyes.
Meanwhile, the girl continued sobbing pitifully.
She knelt on the floor, tears flowing nonstop, looking every bit the victim.
The sympathy of the crowd only grew stronger.
At that moment, an overwhelming urge surged through Su Qingya’s chest.
Destroy her.
Destroy the person responsible.
Without another word, Su Qingya grabbed a wooden stool nearby.
Clunk.
Clunk.
Clunk.
The legs of the stool scraped against the floor as she walked forward.
The sound echoed through the banquet hall.
Each step felt like a hammer striking everyone’s hearts.
“What are you doing?!”
Someone immediately stood up.
“She only spilled some wine! You’re not planning to hit her, are you?”
Another person sneered.
“As expected of someone who appeared out of nowhere. Look at the way she’s dressed. No class at all.”
“Exactly. A person’s clothes reveal their character.”
Mockery.
Criticism.
Accusations.
Voices came from every direction.
Yet Su Qingya didn’t stop.
Nor did she care.
Her eyes remained fixed on the crying girl.
She was afraid that if she looked away for even a second—
The target would escape.
The girl was stunned.
She could clearly sense emotions.
Yet no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stir any hesitation or guilt within Su Qingya.
There was only one thing.
A terrifying determination.
The pressure intensified.
The invisible emotional influence spread further and further.
“Qingya!”
Xu Qingshan noticed something was wrong.
“What are you doing?!”
Xu’s mother also stood up anxiously.
Neither of them received a response.
A few guests attempted to stop her.
Slap!
One person was sent stumbling backward.
Another rushed forward.
Slap!
They were pushed away just as easily.
The strength displayed by Su Qingya shocked everyone.
“Security!”
Someone finally shouted.
The banquet hall immediately descended into chaos.
Several security guards rushed over with control poles.
However—
The moment they attempted to restrain Su Qingya—
The metal poles passed straight through her body.
As if they had struck empty air.
The guards froze.
The guests froze.
Even the security personnel themselves stared blankly.
“What the hell?!”
“A ghost!”
“It passed through her!”
Fear spread rapidly.
The crowd became restless.
People retreated instinctively.
Meanwhile, Su Qingya continued walking.
Step after step.
Dark footprints appeared behind her.
At some point, the floor beneath her feet seemed to become soft.
Like mud.
Like a swamp.
Every movement became heavier.
Invisible hands appeared to be dragging her downward.
The girl finally raised her head.
A strange smile flashed across her face.
Then countless voices erupted from every direction.
“How can you do this?”
“Where is your compassion?”
“She’s the victim!”
“You should be ashamed!”
The accusations multiplied.
Not just people.
Even the surrounding objects seemed to be speaking.
The tables.
The chairs.
The decorations.
Everything was condemning her.
The pressure became overwhelming.
Even lifting the stool began to feel difficult.
Xu Nian clenched her fists.
Her expression became serious.
This wasn’t an ordinary conflict anymore.
The opponent wasn’t weak.
And this banquet—
Had become a battlefield.
A Three-Star Emotiator.
And one from the Compassion Pathway at that.
A troublesome opponent.
A very troublesome opponent.
If this continued, Qingya would eventually be suppressed.
Then suddenly—
A thought flashed through Xu Nian’s mind.
The reward.
The Flux Artifact.
The Imprisoning Dead Souls Lamp.
Perhaps…
This was exactly the moment to use it.
Without hesitation, she activated the simulator.
[Ding— Simulation Initiated.]
[One simulation opportunity consumed.]
[Remaining simulations: 0]
[Simulation Start…]
A familiar mechanical voice echoed through her mind.
And the future began unfolding before her eyes.
