Ruan ilin was still seething when she heard soone giggling. She turned around to look and her anger soared when she saw Tang Hebe standing there. She clearly looked like she had been there all along and she had heard everything from earlier as well. From the look on her face, she seed to have enjoyed this live show as well.
And indeed, Tang Hebe had been standing there from the beginning of the confrontation. When she saw Raelle, she wanted to co up to say hello to her. But who knew her cousin was even more eager than her to rush into her own demise? Seeing Ruan ilin, Tang Hebe stopped and even wanted to leave but sothing in her stopped her, and she just stood there and listened to everything.
Calling it a confrontation would be wrong since Raelle had the upper hand from the very beginning. Tang Hebe could even tell that Raelle wasn't even taking Ruan ilin seriously and Tang Hebe really appreciated this attitude of hers. Because for the longest ti, she had allowed herself to beco the victim because of everything the people around her said.
But Raelle wasn't like her. Your comnt is your comnt, she won't take it to her heart. No, she won't even bother listening to your comnt.
"Are you done laughing?" asked Ruan ilin.
Tang Hebe shrugged, "I'm not laughing. I'm just feeling happy for you, cousin!" That emphasis on 'cousin' sounded very strange and mocking to Ruan ilin's ears but she had no proof of that.
"Oh, and why is that so?" inquired Ruan ilin.
"Aiya, isn't it because you have such good luck," replied Tang Hebe. "Don't you know how fortunate you are? Raelle Xiang doesn't extend her hand to help soone in need for just anyone. Also, that Dr. Lee... I've heard about her abroad. She is really the best choice you have. And I'm telling you, you should be counting your lucky stars since it's really not everyone's cup of tea to make an appointnt with Dr. Lee. But this big pie fell into your lap while you didn't even have to extend any effort. How lucky!"
Although it sounded like she was being envious of Ruan ilin, anyone with a little brain could tell she was gloating and mocking Ruan ilin right now. Those nice words hid a sharp knife that she was plunging into Ruan ilin's heart.
"Don't cross the line!" warned Ruan ilin. "Do you think I'm ntally ill?"
"Are you?" Tang Hebe gasped in surprise. "Oh my, cousin! Then we really need to hurry up and do sothing about it. ntal illnesses are silent killers. We wouldn't want you to suffer all alone. Let help you."
"Shut up!" Ruan ilin roared attracting the attention of quite a few people around them. Although Tang Hebe chose to ignore those eyes didn't an Ruan ilin was able to do the sa as well. After all these years of being the VP with high status, she had beco arrogant and conceited. Also, she was very self-conscious about her image as well.
Who said she didn't want to tear off the mask she had been wearing for years? Of course, she didn't want to appear like Tang Hebe and look like a copycat anymore. But now, after all these years, this mask had beco a rope around her neck, strangling her, tangled up with her. It had beco impossible to extricate herself from it anymore. She had already expanded too much effort to wear this mask, now she could only live with it.
Ruan ilin put on a smile and humbly gave a small bow to apologize to the people around, trying to maintain her good persona. Tang Hebe could only roll her eyes at her act. She was too into this act was all Tang Hebe thought.
Ruan ilin pulled Tang Hebe aside to an empty corner and warned her, "Don't think you're so smart. At the end of the day, you can do nothing to . As for , you know what I am capable of. I heard you really cherish that bastard son you brought with you."
"You dare!"
Ruan ilin chuckled, "Wanna try?" She glared at Tang Hebe as she continued, "I'm warning you, don't try to incite . If I beca angry, I'll show you how ntally ill I am."
Tang Hebe was mad. She was super mad but she cald herself down and smiled at Ruan ilin. The latter found that smile really unsettling and her feeling was proven right when Tang Hebe opened her mouth, "Do you think you can bind Shui Xian just because he owes you a favor? Hah! Let tell you, once he got to know what kind of play you staged, that favor will turn into the curse of your life!"
Ruan ilin was startled. She believed no one knew that secret. Even the person involved knew nothing and she took care of everyone else involved in that play. How did she know? She suddenly felt a panic rising in her heart but she had to hide her true feelings from Tang Hebe. So, she bluffed, "So what? I have done so much Shui Xian. He won't abandon just because I lied to him."
Tang Hebe laughed out loud. She laughed so much that tears almost fell from her eyes. "Shui Xian won't abandon you? Just what have you been doing all these years? You still don't know anything about Shui Xian. Does he look like a good guy? Trust , he isn't. He hates it the most when people lie to him. He won't hesitate to skin you alive for what you did to soone he loved dearly just to accomplish your wish! You don't wanna awaken the monster in him."
Ruan ilin's body shook but she still put up a strong front, "How will he know the truth? Who will tell him? You? If you wanted to, you'd have done it long ago!"
"Until now, I've been quiet just because I still had so hope that you'll turn a new leaf but you aren't getting anywhere!" Tang Hebe was disgusted just looking at her, "Dare threaten again and I'll show you exactly what I am capable of. I am no longer that little girl who fell for your stupid words!"
