Chapter 611: Reencountering Cai Ping (4)_1
In a flash, Cai Wei briskly stepped forward, forcefully grabbed her arm, and forcefully seized the wooden hairpin, flinging it to the side. Her tone was taut and stern as she said, "Mu Caiping, if you think mutilating yourself in front of me will provoke some sort of guilt or sympathy from me, if you think I will be moved to aid you, then you are profoundly mistaken. Whether you die or you cripple yourself, it has nothing to do with me. Not a copper coin’s worth. Ever since that time you attempted to ruin my face with that scalding tea, whatever bond we had between us was irrevocably sundered. Given that you didn’t show me any mercy or consideration, despite us sharing the same lineage, why should I extend such courtesy to you?"
"Indeed, just as you claimed, all the calamity that has befallen you and your family today, it’s nothing more than retribution. Retribution for your family’s previously inflicted cruelties and cold-blooded deeds upon us. This pitiful state of things is simply what you deserve. Either obediently accept your fate or muster the will to free yourself from this lamentable circumstance. But whatever you do, don’t even entertain the notion of wagering your life against me, because you cannot afford to lose!"
With that being said, she briskly turned around, and walked off with icy indifference.
Mu Caiping, with her hair disheveled, stood in a pitiful state on the street, staring at the graceful figure of Cai Wei as she walked away. Dressed in a luxurious brocade dress, adorned with an octet of precious golden hairpins, Mu Caiping’s eyes gradually turned bloodshot, her teeth clenched.
"Mu Caiwei, how dare you act so high and mighty. If not for you, how could our family have ended up in such a dire state. You wait and see..."
On her return to the inn, she happened to pass by the ’Shi Zhen Tang’ medical center. Cai Wei nonchalantly glanced towards the medical center and spotted Xi Niu; who she had encountered while having breakfast. Xi Niu was sitting outside the medical center, hands propping up her cheeks, and attentively watching the dim sum shop next door.
"Big sister!"
A joyful childish voice ran out, as Gou Dan’er with his small and quick legs, came running towards Cai Wei from inside the medical center.
Cai Wei walked forward to greet him, and with a laugh, asked: "What brings you here?"
Gou Dan’er said, "I was accompanying grandpa for his acupuncture session in the medical center. I saw someone who looked like big sister from afar. I ran out to see, and it really is big sister indeed!"
