Zhou Ying pushed open the door and entered, then turned around and gently closed it. Turning back, she saw Qin Xiaoxiao standing in the middle of the room, smiling at her.
"They're here!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's smile was sweet, as if she were waiting for an old friend she hadn't seen for many years. Her kindness surprised Zhou Ying.
Did she know she was coming?
"You were waiting for me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Otherwise what?"
Zhou Ying narrowed her eyes and slowly walked towards Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Why are you waiting for me? How did you know I would come looking for you?"
Qin Xiaoxiao took a step back and reached out to stop her from moving forward. "Just stand there. I don't need to tell you why you're here, do I? We both know. If you get too close, I'm afraid you'll hurt my child."
Qin Xiaoxiao touched her belly, her eyes filled with affection.
This tenderness stirred Zhou Ying. Instead of listening to her, Zhou Ying took a big step forward and stopped when she was only two steps away from Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Knowing I was coming to find you, weren't you afraid?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Ying as if she were trash, "With your pathetic skills, you don't think you can hurt me, do you? Zhou Ying, where did you get your confidence?"
Zhou Ying choked, suddenly remembering that Qin Xiaoxiao's martial arts skills were far beyond her reach.
Zhou Ying's face darkened, and she glared fiercely at Qin Xiaoxiao. "Qin Xiaoxiao, stop talking nonsense. I won't let you off today."
After saying that, Zhou Ying suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind her and stabbed Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao had been on guard against her all along. She took another step back, calculated the distance between them, and kicked Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying failed to stab Qin Xiaoxiao; instead, Qin Xiaoxiao kicked her away, and Zhou Ying's body crashed into the wall behind her before coming to a stop.
As her body slid off the wall, Zhou Ying felt a pain in her chest and couldn't breathe. She didn't know where the dagger in her hand had flown away. Zhou Ying didn't care about anything else and tried to get up from the ground to rush at Qin Xiaoxiao again, but Qin Xiaoxiao's kick was too hard. She tried to get up twice but couldn't, and instead, her chest hurt even more.
Zhou Ying was in so much pain that she couldn't straighten up. She clutched her chest and glared at Qin Xiaoxiao with resentment.
She knew she had failed, and it wouldn't be easy to kill Qin Xiaoxiao again.
Qin Xiaoxiao felt Zhou Ying's malicious gaze and looked at her with a half-smile.
"Zhou Ying, there's no one else here. You're injured now, so it'll be difficult for you to hurt me again. Why don't we take this opportunity to have a proper talk?"
She can't kill her, but she can ruin her reputation, solidify her charge of attempted murder, and send her to jail for free. That would be a way to get rid of the female lead, right?
Zhou Ying was indeed unable to take action again, but she did not agree to Qin Xiaoxiao's request, fearing that Qin Xiaoxiao would trick her.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously and started talking to herself.
"Actually, we don't have any deep-seated hatred between us, do we? I'm puzzled as to why you keep targeting me. From the first time we met, you've been prejudiced against me. Even after we came to the educated youth compound, you were always being hostile and even pretended to have amnesia to try and harm me."
You hired a homeless man to ruin me, but you ended up getting hurt yourself. This is your retribution. If you hadn't done that, you wouldn't be in this situation today.
What I'm puzzled about is, it's one thing if you want to harm me—after all, our first meeting wasn't pleasant—but what about Su Yun? Did she offend you? Why are you trying to seduce my brother and ruin their relationship? Could it be that you just want to marry into the Qin family?
Don't tell me you fell in love with my brother at first sight or anything like that. You two were like oil and water from the first time you met. My brother even wanted to slap you.
Tell me, what exactly happened to you?
Speak up, it would be best if you told me about your rebirth, then I won't have to do anything, and the government will send people to deal with you.
Zhou Ying clutched her chest and snorted coldly, glaring disdainfully at Qin Xiaoxiao. "Don't try to trick me into telling you anything. I'm not going to tell you, Qin Xiaoxiao. Aren't you smart? Guess!"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "If I really knew, would I need to ask you? Zhou Ying, let's not beat around the bush, why are you targeting me?"
Zhou Ying glared at Qin Xiaoxiao hatefully, "Because you ruined my face."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked shocked. "No, big sister, please, what does your face being ruined have to do with me? I didn't push you, and I didn't cut you with a knife. Your husband was holding you and you fell down, which is why it's like this."
Besides, we've always been at odds. You attacked me first, trying to hurt me. You need to explain that, right?
Zhou Ying narrowed her eyes. "You really want to know?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded. "Of course, I really want to know."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying burst into laughter, her laughter unrestrained and wild.
"I never expected that I would still win this battle when you, Qin Xiaoxiao, knew nothing about it."
Qin Xiaoxiao really wanted to slap her twice. If you want to talk, then talk. If you don't want to talk, then don't. Do you really think I don't know anything? If I didn't want you to tell the truth in front of everyone, I would have spoiled you so much that you are so arrogant.
Zhou Ying wasn't stupid. She took two steps forward while laughing, her eyes seemingly looking at the ceiling, but actually scanning her surroundings. Finally, she spotted the dagger next to a chair not far from her.
Zhou Ying was overjoyed. While smiling, she subtly moved towards the chair. "Qin Xiaoxiao, you wouldn't understand even if I told you, so why do you insist on asking?"
In the time it took Zhou Ying to say a few words, she had already moved to the chair, and could get the dagger again by simply squatting down.
Qin Xiaoxiao kept her eyes on Zhou Ying and saw her every move, but she didn't stop her. She wanted to see if Zhou Ying would tell the truth if it was in her favor.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ying had no intention of speaking. After she finished speaking, she suddenly squatted down, endured the sharp pain in her chest, picked up the dagger, and rushed towards Qin Xiaoxiao again.
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.
She really wanted to know where Zhou Ying got the confidence to succeed the second time? She had kicked her out the first time, and now that she was on guard, how could she succeed the second time?
Soon, Zhou Ying was sent flying again. The loud impact and painful screams startled the onlookers outside, who couldn't help but shudder.
How terrifying! She's pregnant and they beat her up like this. What will happen after she gives birth...?
Stay away from Qin Xiaoxiao from now on, and never mess with her.
Zhou Ying sat on the ground, glaring at Qin Xiaoxiao with resentment, "You, you're so cruel."
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "You're going to kill me, and I can't fight back? Do you think I'm stupid? Just standing here and letting you kill me?"
Zhou Ying was so angry she was panting heavily. "You, you little bitch, I will never let you get away with this."
Qin Xiaoxiao was too lazy to talk to her anymore, so she turned her bottom and sat down on the kang. "Zhou Ying, why bother? Do you hate me that much? I don't think I've done anything to you, have I? Oh, right, except for tricking you into calling me 'Grandma'."
But you can't blame me for this. It's your fault for having ill intentions towards me. Of course, I wanted to take advantage of your amnesia.
Besides, I only gained a verbal advantage, but I didn't do anything for you. On the contrary, I took good care of you during that time. How could you repay kindness with enmity?!" (End of Chapter)
