BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8
“Oh, now you’re supposed to be some sort of small family?” a shadow of a smile appeared on Li Shengxia’s face. She had not forgotten their high and mighty behavior.
Wen Ting’er had a terrible look on her face. “Shengxia, I know you still blame me for stealing your boyfriend, but you can’t do this. You know that we both did it on our own accord.”
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Li Shengxia’s lips, “There’s no rush Miss Wen, your turn will come soon.”
Wen Ting’er’s eyes widened!
It was at this moment when Yin Tangyi suddenly stepped up. He turned to Li Shengxia, “Ten million, I’ll pay. Please stop troubling my mother.” He wrote a cheque midway through his sentence and handed it to her.
At the end of the day, she was her mother. Besides, he would gladly pay any amount so long as it meant it was going to Shengxia.
Li Shengxia was mildly taken aback and stopped to ponder. Sensing the hateful gaze of Qiu Haitang, she decided she wanted to trouble Qiu Haitang for nothing and took the cheque.
Mo Nianchen saw the elusive affection Li Shengxia still had for Yin Tangyi from her eyes. Ice flashed in his eyes as he said coldly with a smile, “Ten million? It was enough just now, but not anymore.”
Yin Tangyi’s pupils shrunk instantly! He looked at Mo Nianchen in surprise, he could sense that the crown prince was targeting him.
“Forget it,” Li Shengxia spoke up. This ten million had already done a significant amount of damage to Qiu Haitang for some time to come. Besides, she did not see the need to be so relentless to Yin Tangyi. “I’ll take the ten million, this is over—”
“You think it’s over just because you say so?”
He’s doing this again! Li Shengxia held her breath. She had nearly forgotten that he was the unpredictable Mo Nianchen.
“What is the crown prince thinking?” Yin Tangyi asked.
“Just now, your dear mother felt that slapping the crown princess should not be worth a million. I think I should teach her a lesson.”
“I apologize to you on behalf of my mother.”
“Apology? An apology must be sincere, where is your sincerity?” Mo Nianchen asked.
“What is the crown prince trying to say?”
“Ten slaps, not one less.”
She still had to take a beating after having paid? Qiu Haitang could not believe what she was hearing, her eyes were filled with rage. Li Shengxia was pushing her luck! Just as she was about to snap, Yin Tangyi motioned for her to not say anything. Who knows what the crown prince would do in a moment of anger? The situation could still get a lot worse for them.
Qiu Haitang was fully aware of how much the crown prince was capable of, so she had to curb her anger.
However, was it fair if she still had to receive a beating having already paid?
Yin Tangyi stared at Mo Nianchen without a change of expression.
Mo Nianchen looked back at Yin Tangyi candidly.
Li Shengxia’s anger had already left her when she saw the losses Qiu Haitang had to suffer. She did not plan to prolong their suffering, just as she was about to come to their defense, Win Ting’er suddenly leaped up in front of Yin Tangyi—
“Please stop making things hard for Tangyi, I’ll pay back the ten slaps for grandmother!” upon finishing her sentence, Wen Ting’er furiously slapped herself in the face several times.
Everyone on the scene was shocked!
Yin Tangyi’s trembling hands could barely react in time. He gripped Wen Ting’er by her wrist and?looked at her red, swollen cheeks, then turned to Li Shengxia without a word. His glare seemed to be asking if she was satisfied.
Li Shengxia felt her heart tightened when she met his sullen glare filled with disdain.
Mo Nianchen seemed to be very pleased with the look on Yin Tangyi’s face. He smiled flirtatiously at Li Shengxia. “Babe, are you satisfied?”
“Let’s go!” Li Shengxia avoided Yin Tangyi’s glare and turned around. All she wanted was to get out of this suffocating place.
She could cover up what she tried to do with the glass tower with just ten slaps? What a great deal. A faint smile was forming on Wen Ting’er’s lips when she suddenly received a call.
“Miss, miss! This is bad! The Wen family is bankrupt! There are so many people outside, you have to come back—”
Wen Ting’er’s phone fell onto the hard floor. She stared at Mo Nianchen and Li Shengxia’s figure from behind in disbelief. It took her a moment before she regained her senses!
“No—”
She darted towards them like a madwoman, grabbing Li Shengxia. “Shengxia, you can’t do this to me!”
Li Shengxia looked at Wen Ting’er confusedly. “I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“What do you want me to do so you can let the Wen family go? Tell me, what do you want me to do?” Wen Ting’er’s grip on Li Shengxia’s arm gradually tightened.
Li Shengxia was uncomfortable with the situation and she coldly flung Wen Ting’er away. To her surprise, Wen Ting’er proceeded to fall onto the piles of broken shards of glass.
“Shengxia, you’ve crossed the line.” Yin Tangyi watched as Shengxia pushed Wen Ting’er onto the broken glass. She was covered all over in blood, the rage in his eyes had finally reached a boiling point.
“I didn’t mean to do it!” Li Shengxia was just trying to get Wen Ting’er out of her way, there was no way she could have flung her that hard, on top of the piles of broken glass no less! Wen Ting’er planned all of this!
Wen Ting’er cried out, “Shengxia, for the sake of the friendship we once shared, I beg you, please forgive me. I know what I’ve done wrong, I am so sorry. Please forgive me, please forgive the Wen family!”
The crowd was stunned by how heartless Li Shengxia could be and they began to feel sympathy and pity for Wen Ting’er. She was such a noble lady, not only did she take ten slaps for her grandmother, she even went out of her way for the sake of all of the employees of the Wen family.
When a person was put on a high pedestal by others, everything that she did, no matter how vile, suddenly appeared to be pure acts of nobility.
You have to at least admit that Wen Ting’er played a terrific hand.
Li Shengxia could see from Yin Tangyi’s glaring eyes the amount of hatred he had for her. When had he ever looked at her this way? Even though she hoped that he would hate her, even forget her, she became very troubled by this…
“She’s already given a sincere apology, what more do you want?” Yin Tangyi rebuked Li Shengxia.
A glimpse of pain flashed past Li Shengxia’s eyes. It was only for a split instant, but Mo Nianchen had caught it.
Does she still have feelings for Yin Tangyi?
Li Shengxia felt her body tremble ever so slightly. She thought, was this not exactly what she wanted? How could she accept being wrongly accused like this!
“Miss Wen is probably not known for being a good actor, interesting how she specifically chose to fall on a spot with the least amount of broken glass.”
When Li Shengxia brought this up, she drew everyone’s attention to the fact that it was the spot beside her that had the most amount of broken glass. Judging by the way Wen Ting’er grabbed her hand just now, if she was actually flung away, she should have fallen right in the middle of that pile. If that had happened, she would have been long riddled with holes by now.
Instead, she fell to the furthest location possible, where there was hardly any broken glass. Something did not add up.
The only plausible explanation was that Wen Ting’er planned her fall!
