Chapter 271: A woman as annoying as you truly deserves to be struck by lightning.
Xia Yuge’s smile faintly restrained between her brows, her face pensive, as if she was really seriously considering the question.
A few seconds later, she concluded, "Could it be that Aunt Bai is pressuring him to marry again, and he finds it troublesome, so he’s turning to you once more?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, infused with deep curiosity and doubt.
However, in the seemingly gentle words, there was clearly an attempt to stir up trouble between Qin Muni and Xu Yisen.
Especially the last sentence, which directly mocked Qin Muni by implying that when Xu Yisen married her, it wasn’t out of fondness, but because Bai Wan Yun forced Xu Yisen to marry, and Xu Yisen was too lazy to spend time getting to know new women, so he reached out to the most familiar Qin Muni.
Qin Muni wasn’t discouraged by Xia Yuge’s words; her red lips curled into an arrogant smile.
"I’ve always wondered, since you and Yisen have such a good relationship, why didn’t he choose you when Aunt Bai was urging him to get married?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she nodded as if suddenly enlightened, "Ah, I almost forgot, Aunt Bai seemed to pressure him to find a partner because of you, right? In that case, I ought to thank you."
The Xu Family doesn’t like Xia Yuge, which is almost a sore point for her, yet Qin Muni always likes to rub salt in her wound.
Sure enough, just after Qin Muni’s words, Xia Yuge’s expression instantly stiffened, her demeanor icy, and a hint of disgust in her eyes as she looked at Qin Muni.
The elevator arrived at the rooftop, and the doors slowly opened, Xia Yuge took the lead and walked out.
A cool evening breeze blew gently as Qin Muni stepped out of the elevator, a chill rising over her body.
The villa’s rooftop was Liang Jiuchen’s favorite spot, thus he had someone create it with great care.
Xia Yuge walked to the flower pots of roses, bent down to break off a branch, then stood up straight with the flower in hand, slowly turning to look at Qin Muni, who was standing behind her.
Her smile was enchanting and sinister at the corner of her lips, as stunning as the rose in her hand blooming in the dark night.
"This is the only place in Jiuchen’s villa without cameras." Xia Yuge said nonchalantly, yet with an unmistakable eeriness.
The cold moonlight enveloped Qin Muni, her surroundings seemingly transforming into a dreamy halo as she stared intently at Xia Yuge, with a half-smile at the corner of her lips.
Qin Mu knew Xia Yuge brought her here to have a word, so she slightly raised her eyebrows to signal Xia Yuge to continue.
"Qin Muni, I hate your presumptuous demeanor. I hate how you cling to Yisen like a fly. Women as annoying as you deserve to be struck by lightning." Her tone gradually shifted from disgust to venomous.
"But even as an annoying woman, I still live better than you. I once married a wealthy husband, received a large settlement after the divorce, don’t have to slave for money, or swallow my pride to please directors, or fake myself to attract fans."
Qin Muni has never been one to be at the mercy of others, so faced with Xia Yuge’s sarcasm, she naturally retaliated without politeness, her tone laced with even more loathing than Xia Yuge’s earlier.
Xia Yuge casually tossed the rose she was fiddling with onto the floor, then gracefully stepped forward to stand in front of Qin Muni.
Under the moonlight, her smile grew increasingly ominous and terrifying, "Being so annoying, aren’t you afraid of retribution?"
"Even if there is retribution, it should befall you first."
"Then let’s wait and see." She said with an evil and sly smile.
