162 Old Haggard Ties (1/2)

”...And my engagement ring had a ruby in it.” Then came close to her ear, ”...' handpicked' by 'him'.”

Obviously, Su Qianwei had read Alex lips because she was too away to listen to her otherwise.

Lei Xinyi looked at her with a blank expression then turned to the body-length mirror and rolled her eyes, setting her necklace, ”You are pitiful when you try so hard, 'Weiwei'. Just give me what you came to.”

A woman knew well when she was envied. And Lei Xinyi could smell the familiar stench.

Su Qianwei was provoking her so she could lighten the flame in her!

There was no resemblance in their rubies, hers were bigger and blood red. Apart from that, the ring was no longer valid, just as the engagement wasn't.

Su Qianwei just wasn't over it!

Why would she do that was beyond her. She was leaving. Why would she compete with a player who was close to withdrawing?

Su Qianwei expressions varied for a while before she opened her clutch and handed Lei Xinyi a rectangular box.

Lei Xinyi inspected the wooden rectangular box. It had alternating black and white small boxes like a chessboard on one side and polished wooden surface on the other.

Su Qianwei rolled her eyes, bored, ”Just sedates the ones that are in the way. Don't take any of them upfront. They will rip you apart.”

Lei Xinyi nodded her head still inspecting the box for an opening attentively and muttered, ”I can tell by their physiques.”

It didn't have an opening.

Su Qianwei rolled her eyes at her struggle to open the box and snatched it from her hand.

Su Qianwei opened the box by clicking third black boxes from the first and last rows, together, on the box, ”I can distract them for 58 seconds at most. Be ready!”

The box opened, revealing needles with black sharp tips. 58 seconds were more than enough to execute a plan she had gone through for days now!

Lei Xinyi nodded her head at the sedates. It was known for its instant effect. it would do, ”Hmm.”

Hiding the box in her purse and she was about to walk out when Su Qainwei held her wrist.

She turned to her with a questioning look.

Su Qianwei bit her lip and looked at the floor, ”You sure about this?”

Lei Xinyi knew where this was going but she just smiled. She wanted to end the discussion here for both of their sanity.

”You want me to stay?”

She squinted her eyes and smirked in a sinister way, ”Nobody will be more relieved when you are gone for good... but this can backfire for you.

She licked her lip, to look harmless, just like a snake hissed. She looked that venomous and vibrant too with her deceptive scales.

”Telling Yuan the truth will be an... easy out for you, a clean break. No search parties, no bad blood, no hard fee...”

Lei Xinyi held up her hand stopping her mid-sentence, ”And no lingering feeling! Is that what you want?!”

She eyed her with her orbs ablaze with rage, ”To water the seed of discord so, my betrayal will bring to harvest your Garden?! To construct your Mansion on my Mausoleum?! Once he despises me, you want him to love you because you are going to be there for him?!”

She was certainly being ridiculous. Li Yuan wasn't her property. Once she was gone, he could be with any woman he liked it wasn't her call to make but since when you can reason with your hearts.

To her heart, she had a territorial claim on him.

Besides she wouldn't be a stepping stone for a rival. If she can't have him. She would want him to be no ones. Call it her selfishness!

She took a step back in disbelief. Her eyes were shimmering with unshed pearls, ”You aren't even satisfied by me being out of his life, you even want his memories of me to be contaminated! How can you even do this to me?!”
