Chapter 375 - Youre Crazy (2/2)
Li Manni reached a hand out to cover her mouth as she laughed gleefully. Her cheeks quivered slightly from the force of her laugh. It seemed it was the only way for her unstable heart to stabilize.
Xia Ruoxin retracted her hands. The water continued to fall from the tap. Her ears were ringing. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.
”You're crazy. You won't even let a child go. You're really insane.” Xia Ruoxin stepped towards her and clenched her fist, resisting the urge to hit the woman.
She wasn't her. She still had a conscience and knew that she was pregnant. Yet, she cared about her child, but this woman still wanted to harm her daughter.
She was inhumane. Really inhumane.
”Here. Hit me. Do it.” Li Manni pointed at her cheek. ”Hit me hard.” Her smile became more gleeful and delighted.
There was a loud smack, and a fresh red handprint appeared on Li Manni's cheek.
Li Manni was utterly stunned, and her smile froze on her face. She had hit her. She really dared to do so. All her life, she had never been hit by anyone; but this woman had the nerve to.
She was about to raise her hand when the door opened roughly. Li Manni quickly held her hand to her cheek, her face changing like the weather. Her domineering arrogance instantly transformed into a weak pitifulness.
Really, not even a professional actor could compare to her.
A man walked in and pushed away the woman in front of Li Manni without a second thought or a second glance.
Xia Ruoxin wasn't standing steady on her feet, and when he pushed her, she lost her footing and fell to the ground, knocking her head on the sink. Her tears fell instantly, not only because it hurt, but because she was bitterly disappointed.
”Manni, are you alright?” Chu Lui held Li Manni carefully. His eyes hardened when he saw the handprint on her face. He turned around to face the woman. How dare she lay a hand on someone from the Chu family.
However, when he saw who it was on the ground, he balked. Regret beyond words washed over him. Why was it her?
”Ruoxin…” He lowered himself immediately to help Xia Ruoxin up from the ground, but Xia Ruoxin shook him away forcefully. ”Why, do you want to take revenge for her?” Xia Ruoxin tilted her chin up, but her vision turned red suddenly. She blinked, but it was still red.
”Ruoxin, don't move. Stay still.” Chu Lui's voice trembled, but Xia Ruoxin reached a hand out to her forehead and retracted it slowly. Her fingertips were stained red. She was bleeding.
”Hah…” She let out a sudden laugh. Someone's heart was aching.
