Chapter 156 - Acting Is In Your Blood, So You Will Gain Sympathy Easily (1/2)

Yue Wan nonchalantly singled a lane change and answered Lu Meili as she righted her car. ”Oh right, that! Good job. Is that what you were looking for?”

Veins probed out of Lu Meili temples as she heard Yue Wan's response. Looking at the phone screen as if trying to see through it, she then put it back up to her ear and continued to yell. ”You friggin B*tch! Because of your 'simple request', I almost lost half my life! You sinister and poisonous woman! How are you going to repay me for that? Why did you make my life hell? Why couldn't you just leave me alone?”

Yue Wan brought her car to a stop at an intersection as she waited for the lights to turn. Listening to Lu Meili complaining, Yue Wan's lips twisted into a sneer. ”Are you sure you are not talking about yourself? Poisonous and sinister, you say? Compared to you, do I really deserve that description? In the past with your Sainted Aunt, you hatched so many plots in order to destroy my life, you even planned to drug me twice in my own home! If you are not the most sinister and vicious person in this world I don't know who would be! Stop blaming me every time something happens to you or doesn't go your way. You did this to yourself.... Also, Mind your words or else,” her voice was tainted with frost.

Gritting her teeth, Lu Meili paced back and forth in the dilapidated motel room she managed to hide out in. Looking out the window, her eyes turned as cold as vicious as a snake. ”Yue Wan don't feel too proud of yourself. Do you really think that I didn't know your motive? Your target from the beginning is not the Li family. It's THEM, right? If I expose the truth about your sinister plan to trap the Li family to THEM, what would happen to you and yours? Don't think that you are the only one that knows how to plot and plan. You are not as smart as you might wish you were.”

Yue Wan chuckled a bit and spoke sarcastically as she stared at the car in front of her. ”Are you threatening me, Ms. Lu. Mei. Li? Let me tell you a little secret... It's USELESS! Don't forget this Miss Lu. Mei. Li, without my help you won't survive another minute, let alone another hour or another day. Even if you switch sides and try to cuddle up to someone more powerful, there is no guarantee that you could live to see the next dawn. Just like your Aunt Lu Jia's cruel death, I am sure that what is waiting for you would be that much more bloody and painful.”

When Yue Wan was staying with her brother at Ye Xian's mansion after their accident, she went to check on her big brother and found the files regarding Lu Jia's death near his bed.

Of course, she didn't read the details of the file as she did not want to snoop into her brother's business, she had only roughly seen the pictures and had a general understanding of what happened.

Suddenly an idea popped in her mind and she used the information as bait to lure Lu Meili to her side.

Having understood what Yue Wan meant, Lu Meili's face was filled with a complicated mix of terror and anxiety, she couldn't hide the trepidation in her eyes. The air conditioner that she had turned on earlier to cool her off was now freezing her blood and soul, as if something was climbing up her body, starting at her feet and making its way up to her heart. She had turned as pale as a sheet and her thin body stiffened for a moment before she started to shake so uncontrollably that she almost dropped her phone.

How could she forget that image? Just remembering it, she already sweating profusely. Those guys who hired her Aunt just needed a scapegoat to work out their plan and then kill it off when it was no longer needed.

Is she just a scapegoat like her aunt?
