"Here, Xiao Xue," Qi Shuai said, before passing the phone back to Li Xue in the backseat. "The phone is not completely charged but it would be enough to make a few calls".
Li Xue nodded with gratitude, before taking her phone and working with few settings on her phone. "I would not make many calls. I just need to make a single call and that would do, Director Qi" She said and Qi Shuai nodded. His expressions, still showing hints of confusion.
"Xiao Xue, are you really calling her to ask about her health? Are you really worried for her?"
Li Xue completed her work with the phone settings, then lifted her head up to give the smile.
At that smile, Qi Shuai was at once stiffened. Those expressions were not new to him. He has seen it before on the little devil and given the experience he has got from there; he was sure this could not be any simpler.
Li Xue didn't bother to say much, knowing very well that the man has already got the hints of the answers he has asked for. She dialled the number and as if her call was something Wen Sying was waiting for ages, the moment the ring went it was connected. And the next moment, a sharp voice came from the other end. "Li Xue, you bi*ch! You think you would be able to defeat me this easily. No way, I would never lose anything to you, rather I would again snatch your everything. Don't ever think that you will see me defeated in front of you. That day will never ever come and you will never have that satisfaction. …"
The voice was sharp and it took Li Xue to push the phone away from her ears to prevent it from bleeding. But being a patient person with attitude, she let the woman complete the curses she has started. Once it got completed, she said with the utmost calmness, "Umm … Ms Wen Sying don't you know that I never think too much about the things I am already sure of? Anyway, this call I made is not about my thoughts, rather was about your health. So, tell me are you fine now or was your fake accident went off your plans and hit you harsh?"
"…". Silence fell over the call and Li Xue only smiled, knowing that she had hit the bullseye.
"Fake accident? Wh – What are you talking about, Li Xue? There is nothing like that. Don't weave stories", Wen Sying said, stammering and trembling with her words.
"Really? But I have the video of yours. Should I let it out on the internet and let the netizens decide the things and show their sympathy?" Li Xue retaliated, all with calm and soberness. Like whatever she was saying was just a play for her that she was willing to try.
The call again paused and Li Xue smiled more over it. She could clearly visualize Sying on the other side, biting her lips and gritting her teeth.
After really a long pause, Sying said again. "Li Xue, you better not threaten me like this. Do you think with all these things you would be able to gain anything? You will not. So, what if I faked the accident and faked my injuries? No one will believe you and Wenting will hate you more. The people around will only believe what they hear for me because to them I am still a pure flower who deserves their love and support whereas you …".
Li Xue rolled her eyes at those words. Earlier she had thought that the call would be fun and she would enjoy it. But she never thought that Sying's voice would irritate her this much that even two minutes would turn to feel like centuries. All meaningless and boring.
So, to cut the chase off, she just admitted her main purpose out. "Ms Wen Sying, you have many believers who most of the time would choose to believe your words instead of others. But do you know that all this time our call was kept on recording?".
"…"
On the call, Li Xue heard a heavy intake of breath and she doesn't have to ask to know what was that for? And just after that, the call beeped and got disconnected. The woman shook her head with some disappointment. And she also put her phone down to look at it. How good it had been to record Wen Sying's expressions along with her words. Sigh!
"Tsk, tsk, Sister – in – law you are still disappointed. You already achieved what you wanted from the call, yet you are pretending as you failed in your plans", Qi Shuai said from the front. He was no longer surprised. After seeing the trick she has played on the old man Han, he could no longer get surprised with these trivial plays.
"What can we do, Director Qi?" Li Xue said, taking a tiresome breath in and then continuing, "Human could never get rid of their greed and I am really the greediest one in the world when it comes to finding fun amidst your enemies' troubles." She said and then passed a meaningful wink at him.
And that wink was enough to pass a shiver down on his spine. He shook himself to get rid of it before saying, "Xiao Xue, I would really pity the love rivals you would ever have in your life. They would seriously be lying in their grave if they ever come across you. You are really amazing you know".
Li Xue nodded. "Thanks for the appreciation, Director Qi. I will try my best to come up with better tricks next time. Don't worry, I will not let your belief down". She said before moving her fingers back on her phone screen, saving the call recording and then sending the same to someone.
Qi Shuai caught her action from the side. "Wait, wait, Xiao Xue, you have sent the file to someone. Who is it?" he asked.
"Zheng Wenting. I sent it to him". Li Xue replied without any hesitation and then kept her phone aside. She no longer wanted to get bothered with it. But at her confession, Qi Shuai turned to look at Feng Shufen and spoke.
"That's not fair, Xiao Xue. Though I know my friend is patient with you every time. But he still does not deserve to see his girlfriend talking with her ex in his presence. Sigh, I feel so bad for him. Such a pity!".
Li Xue almost choked on that accusation. You, dramatic Director, are you revenging me now. She bit her lips and turned to look at her man on the side, only to find him looking at her for a good time now. Giving an awkward smile to him, she brainstormed herself to get some reliable words out to soothe him and then said.
"Director Qi, what are you saying? Are you testing my loyalty to my husband now? I can make the whole universe vouch for my love for him." She said and it instantly soothed the man's expressions, streaming back the wave of warmth in the coldness.
And at the front, Qi Shuai could not help but feel bad for himself. He has not said all that to witness this heavy and rich PDA at this hour. This was truly bad to his heart that was still yearning to get back his sweetheart. This was truly unfair.
