Chapter 389: Rejoicing In Someone Else’s Misfortune (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Mu family must have already found out about Shen Wenna.
Previously, the newspapers made the entire incident the talk of the town. It would be hard not to find out.
Why was it so hard to just have a few peaceful days? Xi Xiaye sighed as she kept her phone away after hanging up. Then, she continued toward the kiosk ahead.
Shen Wenna sat quietly on the bench, still holding the phone that Xi Xiaye had just stuffed into her hand earlier while the warm sun faintly shone on her.
Today, she was not dressed in her usual chic attire. The huge patient’s dressing gown on her made her seem particularly frail, highlighting the gentleness and elegance on her beautiful face.
She lowered her head and tried her hardest to blink her eyes that could not see. She wanted to try and see if she could look at the phone in her hands. As she tried to fumble about, she had just touched some b.u.t.tons when the phone slipped from her hands and clattered to the ground.
Immediately frowning, she then bent down and was about to feel around her leg. She looked for it for a long while, yet she could not feel anything. She could only get up and squat down to slowly find it. After spending a lot of effort before she finally found it, she straightened up and was about to sit back down. Unexpectedly, she had just taken a step when she seemed to kick something!
Pa!
Shen Wenna staggered a few steps and fell down to the ground. The phone in her hand slipped away from her once more.
At this moment, a s.a.d.i.s.tic burst of laughter that rejoiced in her misfortune suddenly erupted.
“Haha… How hilarious! You really became blind! Haha… How pitiful, Shen Wenna! How unexpected, isn’t it? You would face this day too! Blind as a bat!”
Who else’s hooting could this be if not Yue Lingsi?
The sharp laughter entered her ear, making her instantly turn cold. Her hands clenched tightly into fists, and her whole body tensed up for quite a while before she continued to look for the phone she dropped.
She felt around for a while before she managed to find the phone, yet a foot wearing high heels stepped on the phone in that instant. Feeling around desperately with her trembling fingers, Shen Wenna then she felt the foot.
“Move your foot away!” Shen Wenna demanded coldly.
“Shen Wenna, oh, Shen Wenna, you really are quite calm. You’re already at this point, and still, you look all indifferent and nonchalant. Sometimes, I really want to rip your face off and see when you’ll break down. Did you know that I actually hate this expression of yours the most!?”
Yue Lingsi’s expression was icy cold. Today was the day that she coincidentally brought that examination report as evidence. She found out that Shen Wenna was at this hospital too, so she had especially come over to witness Shen Wenna in her tragic state!
At that moment, the swell on Yue Lingsi’s face could still be vaguely seen. The two teeth that had been knocked out had been fixed, but it had hurt so badly. She already thought about getting back at Xi Xiaye the moment she received the examination report!
“If I’m not this calm, then should I be acting pitiful like you?” answered Shen Wenna coldly. She savagely pushed the foot that stepped on the phone away, catching Yue Lingsi off-guard. Yue Lingsi staggered, almost falling down, but thankfully, she managed to hold onto the bench in time and steadied herself.
“Stay pleased with yourself then! Wait till I expose this thing in my hand. I’d like to see how Xi Xiaye will explain herself!”
Yue Lingsi delightedly waved the doc.u.ment in her hand and even swung it in front of Shen Wenna’s face. “How about I show you what it is? Oh, I almost forgot! You’re blind now, so you can’t see anything. Haha… Shen Wenna, how sad! Even G.o.d’s not helping you and He knows how to get back at you for me. This is because you deserve it! Do you know that? You. Deserve. It!”
“Mrs. Yue, don’t you want to watch your image a little in broad daylight? If someone else saw the way you’re bullying a patient so disrespectfully, if you just shouted a little louder, you would lose all dignity!”
Just as Shen Wenna’s expression turned hostile, her fists clenched and she almost could not bear it, there was suddenly a burst of demonic laughter.
That was a very familiar voice!
Yue Lingsi quickly turned to look where the sound came from, and then noticed that opposite the bench was Qi Lei gazing at her lazily!
Yue Lingsi was shocked to see Qi Lei, so she cried out in alarm, “Master Qi!”
Qi Lei smiled faintly when he saw Yue Lingsi’s swollen face. “Mrs. Yue, you’ve really disappointed me. Based on my impression of you, you aren’t someone like this, are you? Madam Shen’s in an inconvenient state, isn’t she? Shouldn’t you be helping her out? You are our city’s mayoress after all.”
Yue Lingsi could hear the sarcasm in Qi Lei’s tone, and her gaze immediately sank. Then, she forced a smile on that swollen face of hers. “Master Qi, why are you here?”
“If I weren’t, could I have had the chance to see such an exciting side of you, Mrs. Yue?” Qi Lei did not give her any face as he retorted.
Yue Lingsi started to look awkward as if something had been stuffed into her mouth. She could not utter a single word for a long time until she finally said, “Master Qi, this is Xi Xiaye, that s.l.u.t’s mother. Back then, if it weren’t for…”
Yue Lingsi was initially going to curse, but when she saw Qi Lei squint with those demonic eyes of his, she did not dare continue.
Qi Lei was still a patron that Yueying relied on. If she made him unhappy, that would be troublesome! As for Shen Wenna and Xi Xiaye, just wait until she exposed this thing in her hand!
“Master Qi, I still have some work at the office. I’ll make a move first. I’ll visit you again when I have the time,” said Yue Lingsi after a pause.
She was about to turn and leave, yet Qi Lei s.n.a.t.c.hed the thing in her hand away.
“You can leave now. I’d like to take a look at this.”
“Master Qi…”
When she saw this, Yue Lingsi was worried, but Qi Lei evaded her. “Mrs. Yue, I heard that the filming conditions for the recent films that have begun shooting aren’t great. I was just considering where I should make some rectifications…”
Qi Lei tightened his grip onto the paper in his hand as he smiled at Yue Lingsi with narrowed eyes.
Indeed, when she heard this, Yue Lingsi’s swollen face immediately sank slightly, “Master Qi…’
“Mmm? What’s wrong? Didn’t you have something going on? Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Qi Lei’s unrestrained and demonic tone held hints of hostility. Yue Lingsi had no choice but to glare at Shen Wenna, then leave unwillingly.
As he watched Yue Lingsi gradually move further away, Qi Lei abruptly averted his gaze and subconsciously looked down. He saw that Shen Wenna had begun to scramble to look for the phone on ground again.
He walked over in a few huge strides, then bent down to pick the phone up from the ground before handing it to Shen Wenna.
When Shen Wenna touched the phone, she was startled. After a while, she took it.
“Thank you, young man.”
“No worries, Aunty Shen!” Qi Lei spoke as if he was very familiar with her. He reached out to help her up, then guided her back to the bench.
