Chapter 499 - Wen Sying you are quite a time-waster.
In the past, for Li Xue, her young sister has been her only sunshine, the one who really cared for her. One could only guess her sister's importance in her life by the fact itself that her death was more than enough to make her end herself. Make her leave her life of light to get succ.u.mbed to darkness. If only not for WeiWei in her w.o.m.b then she might have …
Li Xue was already trying very hard to hold her patience and rationality. She was blaming herself for being so selfish. Just to escape from her pains and sorrows, she did not seek any vengeance for her sister's death. How could she?
Her blood was already boiling, urging her to make Wen Sying regret what she has done in the past when she heard her mention another sinful deed.
Harm to her daughter! Her WeiWei!
That would be the last thing that could keep her bound to sanity. She has not birthed her daughter with so much pain that one day someone would come and threat her for her life. Before that happens, she would erase the person's existence from the sphere of Earth.
Wen Sying struggled as she tried to free her neck from the grip of Li Xue. Her face getting redder and redder, evidencing the suffocation she was feeling inside. The lack of oxygen. Slowly and slowly her vision darkened and she was about to pass out when suddenly a big wave of oxygen swooshed in her lungs.
Li Xue freed her neck, showing mercy for today but her eyes promising all firmly to not be the same in future.
Wen Sying eyes went closed as she tried to get herself normal with her breathing. Her breathing coming out in pants.
"Here! drink this water. This may help" Suddenly she heard Li Xue say all soberly. Her eyes snapped open to check if she was just assuming her voice out on her own but when saw all calm and composed expressions at the front, she got all dumbfounded.
She would have not hesitated in taking everything as her assumption if she had not seen the lingering redness of anger in Li Xue's eyes. Her hands went to get the bottle of water as she really needed that to calm her nerves. Gulping down the water, she just stared at the front, all quizzical of the things the woman was doing.
Li Xue's composure had already taken a 360 – degree change. Her fingers slightly combing Wen Sying's hair with some tenderness, making her hair proper on her shoulders. Though her touch felt tender and very soothing, those treatments seemed no less than what a slaughterman had before slaughtering the meat.
"You carry such a pricey handbag with you, Ms Wen. Impressive! I am sure you must be keeping a scarf inside. Being a model in the past, I had quite found it handy back in the days. So, do you also?" she asked, gesturing her fingers towards the pricey Chanel bag kept behind on the slab counter.
Wen Sying was all dumbfounded at her attitude and words. Before she could even nod her head in yes, the woman already leaned past her shoulder to retrieve the smooth scarf herself, as if, before her words were not in askance rather than just a piece of information, she was giving to increase the muddle in her head.
"Ahh, nice you got it inside! This will help you out in the situation. Come on! Wrap this around your neck, you got the marks there. They will soon become deeper to easily come into the vision of the people. And you are here with Ms Liu. You would definitely not want her to see you like this", Li Xue said as she helped her wrap the scarf around her neck.
Wen Sying was truly stunned. She was simply not able to understand what the story was going for? "Li Xue, are you fea …"
Before she could complete her words, Li Xue shook her head. Her eyes restraining the dark glint inside. "Nope, don't take this as my fear. I am just being a little nice to you and at the same time making my play worth my time". She said giving a meaningful sadistic curl of lips.
"…"
"Look, since I have promised to take everything away from you, wouldn't Ms Liu will also be included in that list? If she comes to see this mark on your neck, she would ask you several questions. And I know you would not be having any answer for those as you know already how dear Yenay was to her. Yenay was Yenay, not Li Xue for her. And if you really bring yourself to confess the things to her, won't that only ruin my play. So, I am helping both of us. Am I not quite a kind and helpful girl? Let's play the game from a new beginning and to get everything all fair as square"
Li Xue added more giving a playful wink and then turned to reach the washbasin to wash her hands.
Wen Sying was all taken aback by her words. She was already feeling falling from the top. Her fingers curled to hold the dress at her sides as she helplessly asked, "Li Xue, why are you doing this? Can't you forget all this and let go of the past? Or do you have to get so jealous of my happiness? I am just an orphan girl who has now gotten on the stage to get the happiness and yet you are …"
The woman's hands paused under the running water. Her eyes stared at the mirror, looking at herself, her features, all still and stony at her words. She didn't turn her eyes to give any glance at the lady who was clearly playing a deliberate victim card to escape her wrath. Then suddenly a soft smile soothed her feature, following with some words after.
"I feel like we have been here for quite a good time, Ms Wen. Madam Li must have already gotten bored at the accessory store and must already be making her way here. Do you want me to greet her with some truths?"
"Li Xuee!"
"You are quite a time-waster, Ms Wen. Do you really want to make me confront Ms Liu? Fine, I don't have a problem with that. Just give me some time, I will complete my things here and accompany you". Li Xue instigated more, without backing down.
