Chapter 232 - Caught in a Red light (1/2)

A loud splash echoed in the garden.

The two distinguished women fighting like village shrews fell into the fountain.

However, even as they fell, no one let go of the other's hair. They had a tacit understanding that the one who let go first would be the one to lose.

No one bothered to stand up, as they continued pulling at each other's hair on the shallow water. But it was Xiong Wuyue who was clearly at a disadvantage as her gown became heavier due to the volume of water it absorbed. She had a hard time balancing herself. She tried to use Xiong Zhi's head for support. Of course, Xiong Zhi felt it and did not allow her but pushed her head further down into the water.

Song Xuantin was shocked. They really fell into the fountain! Now that they were both wet, it would be too hard to make up an excuse to cover up what happened. Song Xuantin ran to them hurriedly.

”Zhi! They are coming here! Let's get out of here now!” Song Xuantin cried in panic..

Xiong Zhi and Xiong Wuyue both heard her and halted all actions, but they were still holding each other's hair tightly. Both turned to stare with wide eyes at Song Xuantin, gasping for their breath.

”Get out of there right now!” Song Xuantin half-yelled to wake up the two from their daze.

But still no one let go of each other.

Song Xuantin could not believe that Xiong Zhi would actually act like an irrational child at such a critical time like this. She went to Xiong Zhi's side and tried to help her get up. Xiong Wuyue still did not let go of Xiong Zhi's hair.

”Miss Wuyue, let go. Everyone is about to come here,” Song Xuantin took a deep breath and spoke to Xiong Wuyue. She did not bother to ask Xiong Zhi whose eyes were dangerously chilly. Song Xuantin knew that her friend would absolutely not let go first, no matter what. Her eyes already spoke volumes of that. So she tried convincing Xiong Wuyue first. After all, those people about to come were her guests.

However, in Xiong Wuyue's mind right now, if she let go first, then this damned bitch would think she had won. Thinking of that bitch's smug smile back at the Zhou mansion refueled her anger. Her grip in Xiong Zhi's hair became tighter.

Xiong Zhi's eyes glinted coldly as she felt Xiong Wuyue's tighter grip.

'She wants to bring me down with her? As if I will let her!'

She suddenly pulled down Xiong Wuyue's hair with all the strength she could muster.

”Ahhh!” Shocked by the sudden attack, Xiong Wuyue cried. She also yanked at Xiong Zhi's hair. The two ignored Song Xuantin and continued on with their fight. A lot of their hair had already fallen into the water.

This was not only just the matter of who would win this fight. It was about their pride, the humiliation they had suffered in the other's hand, their grievances to each other, and their hatred.

If Song Xuantin knew what they were thinking, she would definitely yell: 'What pride? That's totally what you two threw the moment you fought like village shrews!'

At this time though, both were fuming mad and there was no way that the two of them would stop.

Song Xuantin face-palmed.

”Goodness!” What should she do? If people came here and saw this irrational fight, not only Xiong Wuyue would be criticized, Xiong Zhi's reputation would come crashing down too!

Geez! Should she stop the people from coming here and tell them that this was a hazardous area?

A loud chattering came from the distance.

Song Xuantin panicked. They were coming here! Oh my god!

She looked at the two who was still fighting in the shallow water. Then, she met Xiong Zhi's eyes.

Xiong Zhi's eyes this time appeared calmer and more collected, no longer the raging eyes she saw earlier. Song Xuantin saw her shake her head meaningfully.

While still actively engaged in the catfight.

Song Xuantin was stunned. What did it mean? For heaven's sake, what did the shaking head mean?

'Didn't she know I'm very slow on things like these?!”

Song Xuantin then looked back to the entrance in tears. She stayed rooted on the spot, not knowing what to do. She no longer looked at the catfight behind her as her eyes were glued at the entrance, fearing every second ticking by as the voices outside grew stronger.

'Did shaking the head meant I should not let them in? Or was it the opposite, to let them enter and not do anything? Oh goodness, Zhi'er!'

It was a total horror movie.
