"I really don't understand, what exactly does Brother Yi see in you? I'm younger than you, my family background is better than yours, I'm better than you in every way, so why doesn't Brother Yi like me and instead falls for a divorced slut like you? Tell me, what tricks did you use to seduce Brother Yi so much that he's willing to be laughed at by everyone just to marry a bitch like you?"
Zhao Xinyan grabbed Ye Huanhuan's hair tightly, pulled hard, and forced her face to face with her, questioning her with a ferocious expression.
At this moment, blood was spilling from the corner of Ye Huanhuan's mouth, and her originally fair cheeks were now red and swollen. It would probably take a long time for her face to recover.
Her eyes were extremely cold, and she remained calm and composed in the face of Zhao Xinyan's questioning. A slight, mocking smile played on her lips as she slowly replied:
"Zhao Xinyan, you shouldn't ask me this kind of question, you should ask Tang Yi instead. But in my opinion, no matter how much you ask, he won't pay any attention to you. After all, the person he likes will only ever be me, and it will never be you..."
After saying that, Ye Huanhuan emphasized the last sentence.
These words were like a knife, stabbing Zhao Xinyan's heart. Her eyes widened, and the fire of jealousy burned fiercely. She wished she could immediately take a knife and stab the vile woman in front of her to death to relieve her hatred.
"You bitch!"
Zhao Xinyan cursed through gritted teeth, then quickly picked up a sharp stone from the ground. Holding the stone, she pressed the sharp part against Ye Huanhuan's swollen cheek, as if with just a little force, Ye Huanhuan's face would be ripped apart beyond recognition, a bloody mess.
"You bitch, you're just a little prettier than me. Today, I'll see if Brother Yi will still like you the same way if you didn't have that face!"
Zhao Xinyan's face was fierce, and she prepared to use the stone in her hand to slash Ye Huanhuan's face. Zhao Xinran, who was standing to the side, saw this and simply turned her face away indifferently, remaining unmoved.
Just as the stone was about to cut Ye Huanhuan's cheek, Ye Huanhuan suddenly broke free from the ropes binding her.
She moved with lightning speed, grabbing Zhao Xinyan's wrist before Zhao Xinyan could react. With a slight pull, Zhao Xinyan cried out in pain and released her grip, the stone falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Huanhuan pulled Zhao Xinyan in front of her and grabbed her hands behind her back. In her other hand, a delicate utility knife appeared, which she pressed firmly against Zhao Xinyan's neck.
The situation suddenly reversed, surprising everyone present.
Zhao Xinyan, who had been so smug and arrogant, was now completely subdued and unable to move by Ye Huanhuan. Zhao Xinyan screamed in panic, her mind going blank with fear of having a knife to her neck.
Ye Huanhuan warned her coldly, "If you scream again, don't blame me for slashing your young and pretty face with a knife!"
Zhao Xinyan's scream stopped abruptly, but her whole body trembled uncontrollably with fear.
Zhao Xinran was truly surprised that Ye Huanhuan had such a trick up her sleeve. Her face was full of disbelief, and her first reaction was to warn Ye Huanhuan:
"Ye Huanhuan, what do you mean by this? What do you want to do? Release my sister right now, or I will never let you off the hook!"
However, Ye Huanhuan remained unmoved. Instead, she sneered and pressed the blade of her knife even closer to Zhao Xinyan's neck, as if she were about to slash her down at any moment.
"Zhao Xinran, you must not understand the situation. Right now, your sister's life is in my hands. I'm afraid that if I use too much force, I might accidentally sever your sister's carotid artery, and that would be terrible."
As she spoke, Ye Huanhuan winked mischievously and continued to Zhao Xinran, "So, you'd better listen to me obediently, or you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"You...you mustn't do anything rash!" Zhao Xinran panicked.
"Sister, save me!" Zhao Xinyan looked at Zhao Xinran pleadingly, crying out incessantly.
"Shut up!" Ye Huanhuan shouted sharply, but in her mind she was quickly calculating how to escape.
She had carried this utility knife with her ever since Qin Feng caught her. Although Tang Yi had prepared a tracking ring for her, there was still a risk that the ring might be taken or lost. So, for safety's sake, she added an extra layer of protection for herself.
She had this utility knife custom-made. The blade is extremely sharp and easy to carry. She doesn't usually need it and can easily keep it in her sleeve without affecting her daily life. Unexpectedly, she put it to good use so soon.
Fearing that Ye Huanhuan would act impulsively, Zhao Xinran immediately compromised, saying, "Ye Huanhuan, you must let go of my sister right now. If you do, I will have someone release you immediately."
Do you think I'll believe you?
Ye Huanhuan laughed maniacally, her eyes flashing with a chilling light.
"Then... then what exactly do you want?" Zhao Xinran's voice trembled, unable to hide her inner panic.
"Of course I'll drag your sister down with me, and we'll both perish!"
Ye Huanhuan's expression turned ferocious, and she tightened her grip. Blood slowly seeped from Zhao Xinyan's neck. This unprecedented fear made Zhao Xinyan's mind unable to hold on. Feeling the blood flowing from her neck, she fainted from fright.
Zhao Xinran was also extremely terrified. She never expected Ye Huanhuan to be so crazy, and it seemed she really intended to drag Zhao Xinran down with her. At this moment, she realized that she had underestimated Ye Huanhuan's intelligence and ruthlessness.
She quickly begged for mercy: "Ye Huanhuan, as long as you don't hurt Xinyan, I'll agree to anything you say!"
Ye Huanhuan's lips curled up slightly, she sneered, and then turned her gaze to the stranger who had tried to touch her earlier.
"Since that's the case, let this man slap you first, and let me see just how far you're willing to go to save your sister."
Zhao Xinran's face froze instantly, her eyes filled with fear and hesitation, as if she was considering whether to obey Ye Huanhuan's request.
She knew that if she did as Ye Huanhuan asked, she would not only lose face, but might also suffer even more serious harm.
But if they don't do as instructed, that crazy woman Ye Huanhuan might really hurt Xin Yan...
After a brief silence, Zhao Xinran gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"Okay, I promise you."
She spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Then, she slowly walked towards the strange man and looked up at him.
"Go ahead and fight..."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes, waiting for the slap to come.
