Chapter 148 - A Survivor
Zhao Shuxin's eyes went wide in shock and angry. Her eyes were like empty pools of darkness. She didn't know why but she felt like she was losing hope not only because the truth was revealed before her but also because she was starting to get suspicious of her husband.
Was it really like that? Does Luo Jin no longer love her as he said so just a few days ago? But why would he cheat on her when he told her he loves her! There's no way that he would be that shameless to not even blink an eye to say that in front of her!
In her past life, Luo Jin was so kind and honest. At that time, she fell on her demise and didn't get to have a happy ending with him. However, that didn't mean she didn't know who he was. He was the only man who treated her kindly and better than anyone else in her past life. He was also the one who protected her from the constant schemes that went in her direction.
That is why, upon her rebirth, she decided to pursue him and make sure they'll end up eventually.
As Zhao Shuxin was silent for a moment and was deep in her thoughts, Yan Xiaoran was patient enough to let her do some thinking. But she can't possibly stay like this the whole time when the officer earlier will surely come back and that will end her time with Zhao Shuxin.
Thankfully, Zhao Shuxin decided to end her silence at that moment and raised her head to look at her, "Why are you doing this?"
Yan Xiaoran almost laughed out loud when she heard her asking this. "And why not?" She asked her back instead of answering.
"My family raised you for years! We dressed you and feed you! How dare you to do this to us!" Zhao Shuxin's rage was already blinding her along with the doubts that circulated before her eyes. Thus, she was no longer able to think straight.
This time, Yan Xiaoran really did laugh. She heartily laughed and shook her head as if she couldn't believe that this was really happening. She looked just like one of those villains that would happily watch their victims fall to their demise.
It was funny to think that Zhao Shuxin was too quick to forget what happened in those years she spent inside the Zhao Manor and how Yan Xiaoran had to live in jail for three years.
"Zhao Shuxin, ah, Zhao Shuxin. I think I sent you to the wrong place after all." Yan Xiaoran lazily leaned back to her seat.
"Of course! This isn't the place I'm supposed to be! It's should be yours!"
Yan Xiaoran fought the urge to roll her eyes and sighed, "God, Zhao Shuxin. I underestimated how thick your face is. Can you even see yourself? Now, I believe that I really sent you to the wrong place. I should've sent you to a mental hospital and cure whatever delusions you have inside your head."
"Yan Xiaoran!"
Yan Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and attentively looked at her, "Yes, my dear sister?"
"Don't call me that! I don't have a sister as evil as you!" Zhao Shuxin sneered and continued, "Do you think by doing this you'll be safe? Our Zhao family is too powerful for you to take on by yourself! We're not the only one who will drag you down to the ground until you beg for mercy!"
The Zhao family might fall but there are several others who will never let Yan Xiaoran go after this. Countless people have been eyeing the Zhao family and as if it was already predestined to fall, the Zhao family won't be able to escape its destruction.
The reason why Zhao Shuxin conducted several insider trading to their rival was for this reason. She was already expecting that some of their family's enemy would eventually try to take what they own as theirs, but she won't let them take it without a fight. The information that she shared with their enemy company was worth several million yuan and it was enough to take down the Zhao Enterprise once the Zhao family fell.
Zhao Shuxin planned to take down the people who took her family down along with them if they can't survive.
And now that Yan Xiaoran has decided to take on the Zhao family and ruined them, who was to know when these people will appear before her to take her down.
Just imagining Yan Xiaoran being dragged back down from where she stood now, Zhao Shuxin's mood suddenly went great.
Yan Xiaoran stifled a yawn. She was already growing bored by Zhao Shuxin's endless rambling that was combined with her delusions.
Yan Xiaoran might not be the brightest kid in the class but a few tweaks on the Zhao family's system was enough for her to know that a lot of people were eyeing them. So, naturally, once she went against the Zhao family, these people would feel her out and once they find a weakness in her, they will take that and attack her.
But as dangerous as it seems, Yan Xiaoran was not afraid to face all of them in a head on battle.
"Zhao Shuxin," called Yan Xiaoran, "Do you think I'm so stupid to not think before I did all these? Even a child can tell that a soldier can't ambush a castle alone without risk."
Zhao Shuxin sneered, "Oh yeah? But you're no soldier. You'll die thousand times miserable than me!"
Yan Xiaoran didn't budge even after being cursed at by Zhao Shuxin. Others might flinch at her words and flip out angrily, but Yan Xiaoran was not affected by what Zhao Shuxin had just said.
Leaning forward, Yan Xiaoran wickedly smiled, "Did you forget?" Her eyes sparkled in mischief and evil intent, "I'm a survivor. Staying alive is my specialty."
After she said that, Yan Xiaoran stood up and patted her dress before looking at Zhao Shuxin for the last time, "By the way, you look good in that prisoner's uniform."
"Come back here!" Zhao Shuxin demanded but Yan Xiaoran was already closing the door behind her.
