Zheng Xiaoshu listened to the threatening tone of Yun Bixue’s voice. She took a sip to clear her throat and calmed herself down. “Miss Yun, would you let the Zheng family off even if I didn’t tell you?”
Yun Bixue shook her head and answered honestly, “No. Upright people would never lie. You should be clear about how your Zheng family treated me. That’s why I won’t let your family off. I will still take revenge against those who had tried to kill me.”
Zheng Xiaoshu shrugged. “That’s all that matters. After all, you won’t let the Zheng family off anyway, so I’m taking the risk. But let me tell you this, women know other women best. Don’t you want to know how much temptations Young Master Xie can resist? If I can get close to Young Master Xie, it shows that your loving relationship is just a facade. Am I wrong? I’m just trying to help you! I’m trying to help you get a grip on reality!”
Yun Bixue’s grip on the coffee cup tightened. She calmly answered, “Miss Zheng, you’ve overestimated yourself. I trust my husband. I don’t need to test him nor require someone else’s help. We should have trust between the two of us. If someone else could come in between us, she would have been able to do it long ago. There’s no need to wait till now.”
Zheng Xiaoshu was clearly losing this battle. She glanced at Yun Bixue’s confident and collected demeanor, and began to feel flustered. She had to accomplish her goals today.However, Yun Bixue was very sure in her heart. Indeed, women understood other women best. Zheng Xiaoshu was using the words that would bother her the most to upset her. She might appear to speak resolutely, but deep down, she was very fragile.
In the past, she simply told herself that she should be satisfied with all she had. She should cherish everything and be a good wife to Limo. Zheng Xiaoshu reminded her now that she had missed a certain aspect. During his socializations and business trips, did he really not touch other women?
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe him. Rather, it was because she cared too much about him that she worried about what she would lose. She thought that her happiness came too abruptly and had been too wonderful. She had been in a constant state of disbelief.
Zheng Xiaoshu continued to clench her jaw and said, “Miss Yun, do you really believe him? Or are you afraid that I would go closer and try to seduce Young Master Xie?”
Yun Bixue scoffed coldly, “Miss Zheng, do you think I will graciously welcome anyone who tries to get close to my husband? You should count your blessings because I did not smash this cup on your head while you’re sitting there. If I were to lose my temper, you wouldn’t be able to walk out of this place.”
Zheng Xiaoshu noticed the coldness in Yun Bixue’s eyes. Her heart thumped rapidly. At that moment, she could feel that Yun Bixue truly harbored murderous intent.
She withdrew her provocative behaviors as she lowered her head. She quietly said, “Miss Yun, you’re good. However, I won’t change my plans. I will still try to get closer to Young Master Xie. I’m just warning you that unless you stick to Young Master Xie all day long to guard against the Zheng family, or kill me, I would have a chance to meet and get closer to him one day. Of course, you can also let Young Master Xie know, but shouldn’t you have some dignity too? Can you assure that you wouldn’t tell him?”Yun Bixue continued to drink her coffee gracefully. “This is my business. If you can really achieve your goal, then your skills are pretty amazing.”
Zheng Xiaoshu looked at Yun Bixue, thinking that she was very, very dangerous. Yun Bixue made her heart feel fear and coldness. Clenching her jaw, she answered, “Miss Yun, let’s have a bet. If I fail, I will present the entire Zheng family to you. If I win, can you—”
“Miss Yun, this is your own bet. It has nothing to do with me.” Yun Bixue was playing with the hair beside her ear as she abruptly interrupted her. “Even if the stakes are high, I wouldn’t risk my husband. You are mistaken. Also, since you’ve shown me your cards, I’ll let you know as well that the Zheng family has already challenged my limits. Ultimately, the final result remains the same. You will lose and the Zheng family will be ruined!”
