Chapter 133: Confrontation (2)

"G-get away from me!" Gu Xue yelped as she tried to push Li Caiyi away from her. 

Li Caiyi quickly took a step back to avoid her hand and sneered, looking back at the nurse's fierce glare. "Why are you upset? It's not my fault you are too busy dating and left traces of your affairs everywhere. In this day and age, it's easy to track something like this with a minimum investigation. But I guess you, with your small brain, can't comprehend that."

Gue Xue couldn't stand the humiliating stare Li Caiyi gave her and stood up angrily. "What do you know about me, anyway?! You don't even know how difficult it is for me to reach this stage!"

Li Caiyi tilted her head in confusion. "Why should I care about you? So it's okay for you to ridicule other people, but you can't accept it when someone does the same to you? Utterly ridiculous."

Gu Xue's chest heaved up and down as she tried to steady her breath. "So, you are here to seek justice for your mother? You want me to disappear from your father's sight forever?"

Actually, this question frightened Gu Xue the most. Even if she coaxed Li Jirong to not abandon her, there was no guarantee that Li Caiyi would just sit by and let that happen. Her days in the future would be harder if she made a misstep here. 

"No. When did I ever say that?"

Gu Xue raised her head in bafflement as she watched Li Caiyi return to her seat and folded her leg calmly. It was as if her barbaric act earlier was just a dream. 

"This is why you should listen to other people first before you assume things and ridicule others. I never said I want you to separate from my father."

Gu Xue didn't understand because judging from Li Caiyi's reaction earlier, it was clear how much she cared for her mother. Why did she suddenly change her mind?

"I sincerely think that you and my father suited each other the most," Li Caiyi said while looking down at the numerous pictures on top of the table. A male cheater and female cheater, truly a match made in heaven. "If you help me with what I'm about to tell you, then I don't mind closing my eyes on your affair with my father."

Gu Xue perked up at the sound of that idea. She was still suspicious of Li Caiyi, but the offer was just too tempting for her to refuse. It might not be a bad idea to hear this little girl out a bit.

"What is it you want from me?"

"There are three things. First, you will never show up your face in front of my mother or any of my family members again."

That wasn't hard of a request. It might be even better because this way, she could be with Li Jirong longer. 

"What's the other two?"

"Second, you shall never tell my father about this. Third, you can't question me whenever I ask you to do something. I will only accept 'Yes' or 'I understand' as an answer."

Gu Xue looked at Li Caiyi with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Li Caiyi was aware that this woman didn't like it when other people were above her, so she wanted to make sure the last point was going through her thick skull properly before proceeding to the main explanation. 

"What? Are you dissatisfied with this arrangement?"

"How can you decide everything by yourself? If this is a negotiation, then shouldn't I have the right to make my terms and conditions too?" Gu Xue put her hand in front of her chest to emphasize her point. 

Li Caiyi laughed at that, her eyes filled with nothing but scorn for this shameless woman. "It seems you have a big misunderstanding here. This is not a negotiation but blackmailing, Miss Gu Xue. Do I have to explain what blackmailing is to you too, so you and your small brain could understand it?"

Gu Xue's eyebrows twitched while clenching her hands hard. This little girl was really a shrewd one! She hadn't raised her voice since the beginning, but each and every word she said was poisonous and sharp. 

It didn't feel like she was humiliated by a girl who had yet to finish her education, but a proper lady from upper-class society. Realizing the distinction between their class just infuriated her even further.

"Do you understand your position now? You might feel proud for now because you have the heart of cheap men in your palm, but can you still smile so smugly if their wives or families found out about it?"

Li Caiyi leaned forward and tapped her nail on one of the photos on top of the table. "This man is a director from Tian construction company, who is famous for his lust for young women. He had been involved with many scandals before, but he never thought of divorcing his wife even once? Do you know why?"

Gu Xue didn't answer, so Li Caiyi continued, "It's because the construction company he was working for belonged to his wife's family. Do you really think such a man will throw a chance for wealth and glory for a woman he could find anywhere like you?"

"Even if it's true, it doesn't mean he will stop seeing me. I don't mind trivial details like that, as long as we can give each other what we want," Gu Xue said arrogantly with a raised chin before she let out a devious smile. "You are just a little girl, so you don't know how easy it is for men to change their mind once you know their pleasure spot. You can just caress them in the correct spot, say some pretty words, and they will be putty in your hand. This big sister can teach you too if you want?"

Li Caiyi ignored Gu Xue's provocation and continued her story. "I'm not interested. Only a woman like you who has no shred of dignity could pull that stunt, anyway.

Judging from the way you talk, I assume you don't know that much about this 'upper-class' society you longed to be part of. Do you know that every cheating partner of this man disappeared without a trace after their affair was found out?"

Gu Xue, who was about to retort, clamped her mouth shut when she heard that. Her eyes shook ever so slightly. "What do you mean?"

"It's not only that man. This man, this old man, this one too. Their wives were well known for their ruthlessness. After all, what can a common girl or two do in front of their power? Even if you disappear, no one will be able to condemn them because your existence is nothing before their influence. You are practically just an ant waiting to be trampled by touching what is theirs." 

Li Caiyi chuckled, "Considering the amount of 'things' you have touched so far, I wonder if there would be anything left of you once this information comes to the light of day?"

The alarmed Gu Xue immediately turned pale and exclaimed, "Don't! You can't do that!"

"Why can't I? It's not like you have ever done anything beneficial for me to make me reconsider your worthiness," Li Caiyi made a troubled face as she deliberately taunted Gu Xue.. "This is troubling. What should I do?"
