Chapter 28 (1/2)
This chapter is pretty short, but it sure makes an impact.
I also saw that this book was in the top 50 for monthly popularity rankings on NU. So that's pretty sweet.
Lei Yumeng cried and laughed for half a day, and Tang Li stood in front of her motionless, with eyes as calm as a lake, as if looking at an inanimate object.
Soon, Lei Yumeng gradually recollected herself. She fixed her eyes on Tang Li for a long time before she began to speak hoa.r.s.ely: “You and I are the same kind of person. In order to stay in the Shen household, you're willing to act like Shen Yu's lap dog. Someday, you will follow me in the same direction.”
Tang Li's eyes flashed slightly, his mouth tightened, and he still had no words.
“I'll wait and see how you fall. Maybe it won't be long before Shen Yu will see through your little act,” said Lei Yumeng fiercely. “You can only kneel on the ground like a pathetic orphaned dog and beg him to forgive you and not throw you out.”
Speaking of this, the Lei Yumeng perked up.
The next second, she smiled brilliantly. “I don't believe it will be too long now.”
Tang Li's expressionless face seemed to be unaffected by Lei Yumeng's vicious words.
There was a long silence.
Tang Li asked coldly, “Is that all?”
Lei Yumeng: “… That's all.”
“Oh.” Tang Li looked down and was too lazy to see Lei Yumeng again. “Then go back.”
Although Lei Yumeng always knew that Tang Li was precocious and indifferent, she did not think that after hearing her words, Tang Li would have no reaction.
It seemed like she was punching cotton.
“You really are a cold-blooded animal.” Lei Yumeng stepped back two paces. The sound of her snow boots squeaking when they rubbed against the snow was particularly harsh in the silent night. She was ashamed and annoyed. “Tang Li, you are not fit to be called human.”
Hearing this, the originally indifferent expression on Tang Li's changed, as he looked back up, his eyes quickly filled with an indescribable emotion.
Suddenly he said, “Does that mean you're fit to be called human?”
Lei Yumeng was stunned.
Tang Li crooked his mouth and sneered, his voice almost melting into the frigid air: “If it wasn't because you of the fact that you're a girl, I would have already exposed your lies. So don't think that just because I haven't done that, that I'm foolish enough not to know what you've done before. “
“What do you mean?” Lei Yumeng had a moment of panic. Fortunately, she soon calmed down, frowned and said, “I don't understand what you're talking about.”
Tang Li stared coldly at the slight change of face that Lei Yumeng could not completely cover up, and mocked, “Between you and those women, how many are innocent? They just slapped you. Don't forget that last winter you hired someone to push one of them into the river.”
Lei's face turned white in a flash.
How?!
It's been almost a year since that incident, and she used the money to get a bully to push that girl down. Tang Li transferred to school four months ago. How did he know that?!
Tang Li smiled, his grin more brilliant than Lei Yumeng's own smile just a second ago, but also noticeably colder: “What is done in the dark can always be pulled out into the light.”
