Chapter 122 - Rehashing The Past (1/2)

The woman tried to close the door but Shi Ai had already guessed her intention and shoved her big handbag into the narrow opening. Pushing hard against the door. Shi Ai entered the home with force. The woman at the door moved back and tried to shout in panic, but she was at a disadvantage and Shi Ai closed the door immediately. In an intimidating voice, she said, ”Mrs Grey, please be careful before you shout for help. You are the one who will suffer the consequences once I announce the reason I am here today.”

Mrs Grey's eyes were flickering between Shi Ai and the door as the girl had blocked her only route of escape. Mrs Grey rushed into her kitchen, brought out a butcher's knife and threatened Shi Ai. I don't know who you are but you have gained forceful entry into my home and I want you to go out. Leave now.”

Shi Ai smiled and walked towards the woman with the crazy eyes and with a flick of her wrist threw away the weapon. Calmly, Shi Ai then walked to the couch and looked at the woman,” Mrs Grey, you run a finishing academy for young girls, don't you? What do you think will happen when it is made known that you were involved in selling a young girl. The statute of limitations for punishing you may have expired but your hard-earned reputation will have gone down the drain. So stop getting wild ideas and let us have a chat.

Mrs Grey seemed to have gotten over her shock and taking a deep breath she said, ”I'll go get some water and then we can talk.”

Shi Ai just gave a small smirk as the woman scurried inside. Stalling for time but it was a useless tactic.

The woman carried the glass of water and placed it in front of her and then sat opposite her. Pretending to be a concerned old acquaintance, she started, ”How have you been doing? It has been so long since we have seen you. You have grown so well and beautiful. You look just like your mother now with only your hair styled differently. Uhh..how is your father doing? He suffered a great loss from the death of your mother and sister. Shi Ai, please forgive Auntie and Uncle for that time. We really thought that you were imagining things and thus told your parents everything. But everything turned out for the better didn't it? Your father realized his mistake and apologized..”

The woman's uneasy but righteous smile made Shi Ai want o to punch her and break her teeth. How easily she had cleared her conscience and cleared herself from blame. But she was glad that she had not spoken earlier because Mrs Grey had inadvertently revealed a few things believing her to be the real Shi Ai. Mrs Grey genuinely believed that Shi Xiao was dead.

Shi Ai said nothing just continued to stare at the woman until the woman finally started to fidget under the frigid gaze and then finally said, ”I see. So you believed that I was imagining things and thus you went to my parents. Why don't you give me a clear explanation about how you reached that conclusion? And then we can have a discussion about the money that..”

As Shi Ai was saying this, she saw Mrs Grey's eyes flick to something behind her and she felt her face freeze. It seemed Mr Grey was here. With a bored expression, Shi Ai picked up the glass of water in front of her and threw the water behind her making the man behind her let out a shocked squeak.

Mrs Grey ran to her husband in horror while Shi Ai continued to say, ”Now of both of you are done, can we have a serious discussion? I am not in the mood to indulge your people. Mr And Mrs Grey, if I am not given proper answers in the next few minutes, I will make it difficult for you to breathe let alone work and survive. So please start.”

The two people bl.u.s.tered and protested but when everything fell on deaf ears they looked at each other and nodded.
