The boat came closer and the three guests" faces became visible. The boat slowed down and stopped beside the boatyard. The two women came down from the boat with the sailor"s help. After that, the sailor took off.
Mu Lan raised an eyebrow. "Don"t they want to leave this island? Or will they stay with me here." She smirked thinking that. Between her and the uninvited guests had forty-five meters distance. The women wore black dresses with black winter clothes wrapping around them.
The elegant woman looked at her in surprise at first but quickly changed her expression. She smiled softly and said, "Xiao Lan, it has been a while. You look better than the last time I saw you."
Mu Lan smiled in return. "It has certainly been a while. You look as elegant as ever, Mrs. Li."
Mrs. Li stared at her for a while before saying, "You look like you have been waiting for us."
Mu Lan nodded, "I undoubtedly was after I saw your boat that is."
Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes slightly. "I feel like you knew I was coming."
Mu Lan shrugged her shoulders helplessly. "Why do you think so, Mrs. Li?"
Mrs. Li pointed out, "You don"t seem surprised to see us at all."
"You are mistaking about that, Mrs. Li. I"m definitely surprised to see you with my beloved auntie." Mu Lan denied her suspicion and looked at the woman beside her.
Zhuang Lei gritted her teeth. Though she said nothing, she felt her anger rising.
Mu Lan smiled eerily. "Auntie, how come you are here? If I knew you would come, I could ask big brother Xin"s permission to let you stay with me here. Since he isn"t here, I can"t invite you in. You see, I"m his guest as well. By the way, auntie, how"s uncle? Has he been well?"
Zhuang Lei clenched her teeth. She was fueling in anger.
Mu Lan said, "I feel bad to know that uncle loved you so much so that he never doubted you even though you had a nasty past. Auntie, how could you put a green hat on his head and sleep with another man? I feel hurt to think that my beloved sister Xiao Mei is a b*st*rd." She put her right hand on her right cheek and sighed deeply.
Zhuang Lei trembled. She was about to open her mouth when Mrs. Li stopped her and told Mu Lan, "You look like you know something about the current situation of your auntie." She found it amusing.
Mu Lan said in a relaxed manner, "I don"t understand why you always think the wrong thing about me, Mrs. Li. What can I know? I only stated the main fact that I collected from someone who saw auntie making out with another man who wasn"t her husband. Their conversation proved that Xiao Mei isn"t uncle"s daughter. Auntie also has two other children; one in the army and the other one is dead for years. I have no contribution to whatever happened between auntie and that man. I"m completely innocent. When I heard this news from that person, I was astonished. Mrs. Li, What kind of person do you think I am?" The way she talked, it made Zhuang Lei choking her to death.
Mrs. Li covered her face with her slender hand and said, "Somehow I have a feeling that you are not a usual girl."
Mu Lan"s eyes flickered. "Why do you think so?"
"A normal girl wouldn"t have waited for us like you did." Mrs. Li gave her opinion.
"I do like to be different from a normal girl. Why are you here? I thought you would be busy treating your younger son. Isn"t he still in the hospital?" Mu Lan spoke politely but there was something in her tone that made Mrs. Li hate her. Her eyes narrowed slightly. "I don"t know what you are talking about." She said.
Mu Lan had her fun p.i.s.sing them off. "Why are you here, Mrs. Li?"
Mrs. Li said in a cool manner, "We have come to draw a score with you."
"What did I ever do that you want to draw a score with me?" Mu Lan needed to find out why the Li Family was after her.
Mrs. Li changed the topic saying, "Now that you mentioned the affair of your friend, there is a chance that you told your uncle about this external affair."
Mu Lan narrowed her eyes. She had no interest in playing tai-chi with her. However, since they came to her, she would give them the way they wanted. "I certainly did. Uncle took great care of me even though I wasn"t his blood. I was grateful to him. I had to tell him that he was cheated on."
Zhuang Lei couldn"t take it anymore. She burst everything at once. "You bi**h! It"s all your fault! If it weren"t for you, I wouldn"t have lost everything. Why have you come back after I sold you? Why are you still alive? You should have died back then."
"Did you really think that after you sold me, I would let you go? Don"t you know that karma is a bi*ch?" Mu Lan smirked. "But I guess you are more of a bi*ch than karma. You sold your conscience for money."
Zhuang Lei snapped at her. "How dare you talk to me like that?"
"How dare you to look at me eye to eye after what you have done to me." Mu Lan was still cool even though she was talking harshly. "Don"t think that I don"t know. I remember every single thing that you have done to me." She liked seeing Zhuang Lei shaking in fear.
Zhuang Lei was scared at first that Mu Lan found out, but she still showed her power. "Who raised you, you little b***h?! Who let you stay at my house? Who took you in?" She screamed like a madwoman.
Mu Lan said, "If it weren"t for you, I would"ve inherited my father"s wealth. You only took me away because you wanted my parents" money."
