Chapter 340: New Lease on Life
As the two of them talked about how they had been doused with gasoline, their choked sobs and terrified weeping never stopped.
It seemed they had really been scared senseless.
Yang Lan gritted her teeth and recounted the experience of being doused with gasoline. “Shuyan, do you know how scared I was when that woman threw the lighter over after splas.h.i.+ng us with gasoline? My legs trembled as if they weren’t my own at the time; it’s still like that now. At that time, I really thought I was dead. It was too… scary, too scary! I was covered in gasoline…”
When Yang Lan mentioned this for the second time, her lips still couldn’t help but tremble and her limbs turned cold. It was as if the cold air in the dead of winter blew over her, and her voice occasionally cracked and trembled.
When Zhen Yu saw that Yang Lan couldn’t continue, she picked up where Yang Lan left off, and her face wasn’t any better than Yang Lan’s.
Chi Shuyan had foreseen the scene, so she wasn’t surprised. She patted their shoulders to calm them down. She had the two of them take a shower first. They smelled of gasoline and probably didn’t feel good. They could talk again later. She consoled them. “You’re lucky to have escaped this calamity. If you hadn’t believed me, I wouldn’t have been able to save your lives.”
Yang Lan and Zhen Yu shook their heads and gritted their teeth. “No… no, it wasn’t luck. It was you, Shuyan, who saved us! That woman is a lunatic and caused us to suffer an undeserved catastrophe.”
Yang Lan thought of the talismans which she hadn’t cared about before and hurriedly said, “Shuyan, do you still have those kinds of talismans? I want to buy them, no matter how much they cost!”
Now, she felt that if she didn’t have that talisman with her, she wouldn’t even dare go shopping.
Chi Shuyan’s gaze fell on Yang Lan and she narrowed her eyes. “That wasn’t an undeserved catastrophe. Don’t you think that the woman who poured gasoline on you is a little familiar?”
Yang Lan’s face changed drastically. For some reason, that woman’s blurry appearance from earlier gradually became clearer in her mind. She even remembered that woman’s crazy words: “B*tch, you stole my man, I’ll send you to h.e.l.l!”
Yang Lan’s hands trembled violently. She had done a lot of bad things before. To be honest, she had indeed done a lot of things like s.n.a.t.c.hing someone’s boyfriend. But that wasn’t her fault alone.
She had no principles, but her boyfriends weren’t necessarily good people either.
It could be said that the only time she had been the most proactive and solicitous was when she had chased Shuyan’s man. That man was simply too high-cla.s.s and attractive.
As for the other men, she really wasn’t as solicitous, and she just casually hooked up with them. Those l.u.s.tful men naturally didn’t refuse her.
They didn’t talk about feelings, and would at most get off together from time to time.
As for them wanting to break up with their girlfriends, she felt that it had nothing to do with her. If she was still interested in a particular man, she would also get together with him right after the man broke up with his girlfriend.
It could be said that what she experienced at the very beginning had crushed all her naivete. After that, she no longer believed in men. She also felt that there were few good men in the world; they completely indulged themselves without the slightest bit of moral integrity. Sometimes, she quite enjoyed it herself, and didn’t think it was bad.
After crying herself empty, she would find a man to keep her company. As for whether or not the man was attached, she didn’t care. She even felt a bit vain and satisfied when she occasionally s.n.a.t.c.hed someone’s boyfriend.
But now, Chi Shuyan was telling her that being doused with gasoline hadn’t been an undeserved calamity, but that someone wanted her dead because she had ruined a relations.h.i.+p; she had even almost implicated her roommate.
This was the first time Yang Lan reflected on her immoral behavior.
“Shuyan, what on earth is going on?” Zhen Yu found it very difficult to accept this information, but she was also impressed that Shuyan was very clear on the situation even though she hadn’t gone out with them. Shuyan was simply more G.o.dly than a G.o.d!
Like Yang Lan, Zhen Yu pretty much felt that all fortune tellers were swindlers. Who would have thought that there would be such an expert, who was even her roommate!
Zhen Yu took a deep breath. It was too shocking!
