95 Playing a Malicious Prank on Chi Ruiser (2/2)
An Xiaoning was exceptionally enthralled by the sweet taste of revenge.
”Auntie, what kind of meat is this? I'd like to buy some home,” asked Chi Rui'er.
Auntie Chen hesitated for a long while as she was unsure of what to say. Before she could even say anything, An Xiaoning interjected, ”Rat meat.”
”What?” Chi Rui'er turned as pale as a sheet, the shock robbing her of her senses.
”Didn't you ask what kind of meat it was? I answered you, it's rat meat.”
”Oh god…” Chi Rui'er covered her mouth as she grimaced with nausea. Feeling utterly disgusted and queasy, she hurriedly sped towards the washroom.
She kneeled down before the toilet bowl and began throwing up everything she had eaten. It was a while before she managed to stand up again and exit the washroom. With an unsteady gait, she supported her weight against the wall and returned to the living room, only to be greeted with the sight of a carefree An Xiaoning enjoying some fruit. ”An Xiaoning! How inhuman of you to have the audacity to feed me rat meat!” Chi Rui'er hollered.
”I didn't force you to eat it, you wolfed it down out of your own accord. Didn't you mention that it was delicious? Why are you reacting differently now that you know it's rat meat? How sad must those rats feel, to know how disgusted you are with them, so much so that you threw them up again after masticating them.”
”You… your logic is twisted.”
”You… you ate it out of your own accord.”
”Um… Rui'er, we have something to attend to in a while. If there isn't anything else, I suggest you make a move first,” Jin Qingyan interrupted, not knowing what else to say.
”Qingyan!” Chi Rui'er cried in injustice, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt extremely hurt that he did not go out of his way to stop her from eating the rat meat, despite being fully aware of what it was. Instead of bringing the entire dish away like he usually would have, he chose to sit back and watch as she ingested every bit of it, which was very much to her disappointment.
Chi Rui'er began to feel extremely aggrieved the more she thought about it.
”Your wife may look innocent and harmless on the surface, but in reality, she's extremely evil and scheming. Can't you tell!?!” she cried.
”I'm perfectly clear about what kind of person she is. She did this today because of what you had done to her in the past. It's just tit for tat, an eye for an eye. I don't think it's appropriate of you to describe her as 'evil,'” Jin Qingyan defended An Xiaoning.
”What… have you been brainwashed by her? Qingyan, I'm the person you love the most!” shrieked Chi Rui'er. She stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief.
”Shixin, please get her bodyguard to send her back,” Jin Qingyan instructed.
”Yes.”
”I'm not leaving!” Stomping her feet furiously, she walked towards him and glowered in anger. ”Qingyan, did you forget what you once told me? Did you forget everything you said on the operating table? You said you would marry me right away, as long as I was willing! You've only married her for days, yet you're already so biased towards her. I admit, I was wrong to have done that, but I did it all because of you!”
Beginning to dislike Chi Rui'er, Auntie Chen was in utmost approval of what An Xiaoning had done, serving Chi Rui'er with rat meat. In fact, she even felt that merely a plate was not enough.
Jin Qingyan summarized everything he had wanted to say at that point in time into a few simple sentences. Turning to face Chi Rui'er, he said coldly, ”I said those words before you got together with Gu Beicheng and way before I married Xiaoning. We can neither turn back the clock nor return to that moment.”
Chi Rui'er clenched her fists tightly and stood rooted to ground, having nowhere to hide.
She glanced towards An Xiaoning, who remained calm, as if she did not hear any part of their conversation at all. ”Great, you're really something. I take my hat off to you!” Chi Rui'er scoffed angrily.
”That has nothing to do with you at all. I am the lawful wife of Jin Qingyan and the Daughter-in-law of the Jin Family, whom every member of the family approves of. As the Mistress of this house, I demand that you get lost from my home immediately,” An Xiaoning retorted.
Chi Rui'er was terribly embarrassed. An Xiaoning's words seemed to be a huge blow to her ego. Keeping her eyes fixed on An Xiaoning, she thought to herself, I will destroy you one day!
”Shixin, what are you waiting for?” Jin Qingyan shot him a look. The bodyguard, who had been on standby at the door, entered to pull Chi Rui'er away forcefully.
