Chapter 569 - Wen Xinya, Youre the One Who Harmed Me! (2/2)
She could almost imagine what the headlines would be like on the tabloids, once daybreak arrived. Xia Ruya’s heart would definitely be ripped apart.
She was well aware of the difference between a photo and a video.
What awaited her next was the tarnishing of her reputation and doubts about her innocence.
Wen Xinya returned to her room slowly and picked up a handheld mirror before walking towards Xia Ruya again. “Miss Xia, why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror?”
She then raised the handheld mirror in her hand.
Staring at her own reflection in the mirror, Xia Ruya realized just how menacing and maniacal she looked. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open and bulging, and she looked just like a demon which had crept up from hell. She instinctively touched her face and thought to herself, Is this really me? Why do I look so hideous and terrifying? I look so different that even I’m afraid of myself.
“No… this is not me. That’s not me…” Xia Ruya grabbed the mirror from Wen Xinya’s hand like a maniac and smashed it onto the ground with all her might. The loud and deafening sounds rumbled in her ears like a rhythmic melody.
“Xia Ruya, stop deceiving yourself. These are the true colors that you have been hiding beneath that innocent facade of yours,” Wen Xinya said with a cold smirk, staring at the hysterical Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya looked at the mirror on the ground which had cracked like a spiderweb. Appearing extremely hideous and showing the ugliest sides of herself, she hysterically stepped on the mirror and spluttered incoherently. “It’s not me, it’s not me, it’s not me…”
The mirror was smashed into pieces, leaving behind a pile of glass shards.
Wen Xinya looked on coldly, not expecting that Xia Ruya would lose her rationality over the video.
Xia Ruya stared at the debris smugly, as if it was her greatest enemy. She smiled coldly like a venomous snake and said, “Wen Xinya, do you know what I saw in the mirror?”
Wen Xinya raised her brows and stared at Xia Ruya, who suddenly got a grip on her emotions. A strange tension filled the air.
“I saw your reflection in the mirror. You’re clearly grotesque and ugly. Yet, you still pretend to be mighty and noble. Actually… there’s no difference between you and me. We all resort to every means in order to get what we want. You’re just being pretentious and hypocritical.”
Staring at the tender yet vicious smile on Xia Ruya’s face, she darted forward and grabbed her neck. She said threateningly, “Xia Ruya, I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine. The only difference between us is that I have better tricks than you. Since you’ve started this, I’ll finish it.”
Wen Xinya’s cold and clammy hand was pressed against Xia Ruya’s skin, causing goosebumps to form on her skin. “Wen Xinya, are you feeling extremely furious now and wishing that you could kill me to vent your anger? Actually… it’s a simple task to kill me. You just have to tighten your grip…”
Keeping her eyes fixed on Xia Ruya, Wen Xinya tightened her grip on her neck. Just as Xia Ruya was about to suffocate, Wen Xinya let go of her and said, “If I kill you, I’ll just be dirtying my own hands. There is karmic retribution in this world. I shan’t kill you… Heaven will deal with you.”
Xia Ruya coughed and lied down on the cold, hard ground. Her throat began to get itchy and she began hacking violently, though she was unsure if it was because of the chilliness or the suffocation.
