165 YOU ARE UGLY (2/2)
”Yue, you should know that right now we are in a delicate situation. Uncle might be in a tough situation, but he is definitely going to look for a way to retaliate. You cannot give anyone a chance by being careless.” The voice was stern.
”I know. I am also worried. I think dad might be thinking of an arranged marriage for me. I don't know what he is thinking. Didn't you all say that we could depend on that useless brat for success? Why do I have to pay the price when he has been freeloading for years?” Murong Yue had an edge to her voice.
As they came closer, Hu Lei had a cold flash in her eyes.
”You should also do your part for the family. What is wrong with an arranged marriage? I feel that it is not a bad idea.” Murong Yan responded evenly.
”Of course, you wouldn't understand.” Murong Yue sighed.
Murong Yan stopped just before they reached the turn behind which Hu Lei was hiding. She looked at her sister with blazing anger in her eyes. Murong Yue was startled. Though her sister was not nice and charming, she never showed anger so openly.
”What is that supposed to mean?” Murong Yan asked with a piercing voice.
Hu Lei felt that the moment for her appearance had come.
”I think she's implying that you are ugly.” She said with amusement before directly shooting them in the blue-robed chest with her crossbow without hesitation.
Game over. The two women lifted their weapons to retaliate, but it was already too late. Once a person was killed off, their crossbows would power off immediately.
”How can you be so shameless?” Murong Yan, who had been shot in the back asked.
Hu Lei shrugged.
”Why are you mad at me? I am just playing the game. Anyway, I am not the one who called you ugly.” Her voice was casual, and there was a smile on her face.
Immediately, Murong Yan was inflamed. Even though Hu Lei had killed her off, it was a game. How could this compare to Murong Yue's insult? Yan had always been insecure about her appearance because of this sister. When this matter was mentioned out aloud, she felt like she could really kill.
”Yan, don't listen to the b*tch. She is just trying to turn us against each other.” Murong Yue said, looking angrily at Hu Lei who was watching the show.
”So what did you mean?” Of course, she knew that Hu Lei was trying to sow discord. However, this did not make the insult less real.
”I…” Murong Yue stammered, but she could not come up with anything immediately. In truth, she had really been implying that her sister was not pretty enough to realise the shame of being set up on blind dates. As someone who had been praised for her beauty, she could not accept that it was not in her power to choose any man she wanted.
”You think that you are all that great? Let me tell you, dad and Lu Liang consulted me on your marriage, and I asked them to wait a little longer because of our sibling bond. It seems that I was overthinking things. I will make sure to recommend a good man, my dear sister.” Murong Yan said venomously.
Murong Yue's face became pale in fear. She knew that her sister could be very vengeful. If it wasn't for this little b*tch…
Hu Lei felt that her work was done. She walked away with a happy hum. Since she was so preoccupied, she did not realise that some distance and a few turns away, a woman in white was eavesdropping on the conversation.
