Chapter 321 - Im Going to Kill You for Causing Me so Much Harm (2/2)
Wen Xinya could already tell that Shen Mengting was no longer in the right state of mind. Thus, she kept her guard up against her and said, “What’s the point of s.h.i.+fting the blame to me? Was I the one who landed you in this predicament? You’re so ridiculous it’s almost amusing. There wasn’t any no feud between us at all. If you didn’t agree to help Ning Shuqian and plot against me, none of those would have happened to you. This is life. You’re bound to receive bad karma for the misdeeds that you’ve done, and acc.u.mulate good merit for the kind deeds you’ve done. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions.”
Shen Mengting pressed her hands against her head and shook it hysterically. She yelled at the top of her lungs, “It’s you, it’s you, you were the one who caused me all the harm. I could have gone abroad to further my education and return home with glorious achievements. I had a bright and promising future, and I was the subject of envy to many others. I could have had the chance to earn lots of money and send my mother for better medical treatment. Yet, because of you… my dreams were shattered and there’s no turning back for me now… I hate you… I hate you…”
“Were those the privileges that Ning Shuqian promised to reward you with, should you succeed in harming me? I can only say that you brought all of these upon yourself, all because of your greed,” said Wen Xinya, who felt zero sympathy for Shen Mengting at all. After all, Shen Mengting was the one who resorted to unscrupulous means to get what she wanted. Thus, she deserved the retribution she got.
Shen Mengting stumbled forward and covered her ears while screaming and murmuring, “No, no… Wen Xinya, you were the one who harmed me. It was you…”
Wen Xinya gibed. “Ning Shuqian gave you so many benefits. She gave you the chance to study in Lanfeng and even sent your mother to the best sanatorium. Given her power and wealth, she could have saved you from imprisonment, but why didn’t she do that? Why didn’t she intervene to stop you from being sent to rehab? There are lots of drug rehab centers in the city that have better conditions than the one that you were sent to. She could have saved you from those nightmares by spending a little bit more money.”
Shen Mengting barked. “Wen Xinya, you shameless wretch. I forbid you from badmouthing Aunt Ning! If you’re trying to sow seeds of discord between me and Aunt Ning, you can forget about it. I won’t believe you. Aunt Ning treats me very well. Apart from my mother, she’s the person who’s the nicest to me…”
Wen Xinya glanced at her calmly before turning around to walk away. She had already expected Shen Mengting to react that way. After all, the fact that Ning Shuqian had decided to instigate Shen Mengting to look her up in school just went to show that she was confident of manipulating Shen Mengting.
“No…” Shen Mengting screamed and charged towards Wen Xinya’s back.
She stabbed the cold, sharp knife into Wen Xinya’s back.
At the instant that she did, the knife was prevented from digging into Wen Xinya’s flesh by the fabric of her clothing. Wen Xinya then bent backward at a seventy-degree angle and stabbed her pink fingernails into Shen Mengting’s bony neck.
The fruit knife dangled on her back. It was an inch away from being fatal.
Wen Xinya then turned around swiftly and kicked the hand that Shen Mengting was holding the knife in.
“Ah…” The knife flew out of Shen Mengting’s hand while she collapsed onto the ground.
Wen Xinya walked towards her slowly and stared at her from above. “Shen Mengting, everything that happened to you has nothing to do with me. You ended up like this because of Ning Shuqian…”
She then strutted away.
Wen Xinya did not call the police nor informed the security guards. She saw it as the last time she would show mercy to Shen Mengting, as a form of payback for the time that she had s.h.i.+elded her from the hot soup.
