282 Whos The Third Party (2/2)

”I'm laughing at both of you.” Xia Ruoxin replied faintly as she put her hand down. She looked at Mrs. Li. ”Madam, you accused me of seducing another woman's husband, and this behavior is depraved. Have you forgotten who I used to be? If it wasn't for your daughter, I wouldn't have become someone else's ex-wife. If this was depraved, then your daughter is more terrible than me. You're right. I am depraved. However, I learned all these from your daughter.”

Her tone was light. However, her words were filled with a strong sense of sarcasm. Her heart has been numbed after working in that place for so long. If she had not learned to defend herself, how could she survive in that kind of harsh environment and earn money? She needed to survive to take care of her daughter.

They were not Chu Lui, and they couldn't save her daughter's life. She neither owed them nor had the need to compensate them for anything.

”Y-you…” Mrs. Li choked, beyond words as her accusations were totally refuted by Xia Ruoxin. She was embarrassed because Xia Ruoxin had spoken the truth, and she could not find the words to counter back. After all, everyone knew about Xia Ruoxin's status. Four years ago, she was indeed Chu Lui's wife while Li Manni was also the third party involved. Chu Lui had known her while he was still married. Li Manni would forever be known as a third party no matter what the divorce was like for Chu Lui and Xia Ruoxin.

”That was because you had so shamelessly seduced another man. Chu Lui loves my daughter, not you. Only my daughter has the right to become the young mistress of the Chu family.”

Mrs. Li raised her chin again and sneered with despised. Li Manni, too, was scorning while she stood by the side.

The pair of mother and daughter was staring at Xia Ruoxin with vicious looks.

How they would love to tear her apart to drink her blood and eat her heart.

”Love? If it was love, would you have appeared before me?” Xia Ruoxin felt ridiculous by the way they described love. She caressed her cheek again and wondered how many people had slapped her. Was it really that nice to slap her? Did her face attract those slaps? Or was it really calling out for them?

Those people actually came to her with the thought of beating her.

Li Manni was shut wordless by her question while her mother was shaking with anger. What they had failed to notice was, at that moment—hidden in a small corner, a child stood there and bit down hard on her lips. She was clutching her doll, but her eyes stared unblinkingly at Li Manni and her mother as she memorized their looks.

They were bullying her mother. She took a tiny step forward. However, she retreated.

”I am a good girl. I won't go out because I promised Mommy. If I do, she will be upset,” she mumbled softly as she tucked her doll under her chin. She shuddered. Beads of tears as big as pearls began to roll down her face swiftly from her moist eyelashes.

”Xia Ruoxin, I won't allow you to appear before Chu Lui again. Or else, my family will not let you off.” Mrs. Li spat out the words of caution before she pulled Li Manni's hand and left.

”Manni, let's go. If I find out that she has appeared shamelessly in front of you and Chu Lui, I will get someone to break her legs and smash her face.” Li Manni smiled and nodded. She gave Xia Ruoxin a disdainful look and a smile to show her power.
