Chapter 40: A Different Xia Xibei
Looking at Yang Xuan, who was trying his best to suppress his anger, Xia Xibei raised her brows. “Sure, but I can only spare a few minutes.”
“That’s enough,” Yang Xuan nodded with gritted teeth, leading the way to the exact spot they had been at this morning.
“Why did you look for me?” Xia Xibei asked.
Yang Xuan was bewildered as he looked at the calm, unhurried Xia Xibei. Was she really the same person she used to be? Why was she so different now? However, he cast the irrelevant thoughts aside very quickly, drawing in a deep breath to suppress the fury in him. Then he said, “In fact, we both know that I do not owe you that much money.”
“But you did borrow my money,” Xia Xibei replied with a shrug. “Is that not true?”
Yang Xuan paused for a second, continuing with his argument, “But I only borrowed 10,000 from you, not 20,000! You are trying to scam me!”
“So what?” Xia Xibei flashed him a devilish smile. “Do you think you can explain it to the others? Would anyone even believe you now?”
Her words delighted Yang Xuan, who planned to continue luring her into saying more.
“You even hit me today!”
“So what if I did? Wasn’t it your fault, for being so vulnerable?”
Yang Xuan’s face fell. The Xia Xibei standing before him was a complete stranger to him!
“Besides, even if these things are true, who would believe your words? Your parents created such a large mess, the whole school knows about it by now. And you’re famous too! How great is that? You should thank me for doing that for you.”
Xia Xibei’s words greatly infuriated Yang Xuan, who yelled, “It was all because of you! I’mma kill you!”
When he thought of the drama that his parents had created, his rage finally erupted, causing him to dart toward Xia Xibei.
Unfortunately, before he could even reach her, his knee received a kick from Xia Xibei and he gracelessly landed on the ground, knelt down from the pain.
“Ahh!”
He let out a miserable scream upon coming into contact with the cemented floor. The color faded fast from his face, the a.s.sault making him feel as though his knees had been shattered into a million pieces.
Xia Xibei flashed him a small smile. With a simple swing of her leg, she kicked him to the side.
“Ahh——!”
Yang Xuan further fell onto the ground, momentarily rendered immobile.
Shock, pain, and anger flooded through him.
Xia Xibei was a totally different person now!
Nonetheless, he had to take his revenge! The first step was to reveal her true colors!
He heaved a sigh of relief as he thought of the cell phone in his pocket. His plan could still work!
However, before he could really relax, he saw Xia Xibei walking toward him.
“What- What more are you- you trying to do?! Don’t come near me!”
He stared at Xia Xibei with terrified eyes, feeling as though she was going to murder him!
Xia Xibei’s lips twitched with a ghost of a smile as she crouched down, holding a hand towards him.
“Don’t come near me!” He drew in a cold, sharp breath of air, nearly peeing his pants in the process.
The next moment, Xia Xibei’s hand reached into his pocket.
And then his cell phone was fished out.
“What are you trying to do?! Give me my phone back! It’s brand new!”
When Xia Xibei pressed it’s on-b.u.t.ton, a voice-recording page appeared on the screen.
Xia Xibei smiled. It was just what she had expected. She knew Yang Xuan wouldn’t be so honest.
She stopped the recording and deleted the file. After making sure that it couldn’t be recovered, she removed her fingerprint and put the phone back into Yang Xuan’s pocket.
Yang Xuan watched all of her actions with jaw-dropping shock, nearly having a meltdown right then and there.
How was he going to accuse her of those horrible actions now that the recording was gone?
Xia Xibei stood up and looked down at him from above, flas.h.i.+ng a malicious smile at him all the while.
“It’s alright. That was only the beginning, there’s more exciting drama coming up next. Let us take things slow~”
Looking into her icy eyes, Yang Xuan couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver.
