Chapter 3 Evil intentions
Chapter 3 Harboring Malice
After Li Chenxu left, Mu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She slumped wearily in her chair and stared blankly at the breakfast on the table. It turned out that it was all her favorite food!
Just then, the doorbell rang. Mu Xiaoyu dragged her tired body to check and found that it was Wu Qianru...
Memories of her past life flooded her mind like a tide. She calmly opened the door, looked at the heavily made-up woman in front of her, and felt disgusted.
The moment Wu Qianru saw Mu Xiaoyu, a small flame ignited in her eyes, burning brightly. Mu Xiaoyu's hair was disheveled, her face pale, and she was only wearing a haphazardly wrapped nightgown. Wu Qianru assumed that Mu Xiaoyu must have been heartbroken after being touched by that man yesterday, and had been sitting quietly all night maintaining this disheveled appearance. She knew her naive best friend best; being raped by a stranger, she must be mentally broken right now!
Wu Qianru thought confidently, and walked in without any hesitation. She affectionately took Mu Xiaoyu's hand and said with a smile:
"I was startled when I didn't see you at the hotel yesterday. I thought something had happened to you. So, is the divorce with Li Chenxu settled this time?"
Mu Xiaoyu curled her lips in disdain, looking at the woman in front of her who was pretending to be intimate with her, and felt a surge of amusement in her heart! If it were her previous life, she would definitely have foolishly trusted her as a savior, but now she was no longer that simple and weak little girl. She had already died once, so what did she have to fear?
"I don't plan to divorce Li Chenxu!" Mu Xiaoyu said calmly, as if she were talking about something very ordinary, but it was like throwing a bomb into Wu Qianru's ear, instantly making Wu Qianru furious.
"What? Xiaoyu? What did you say? You're not getting a divorce?!" Wu Qianru jumped up in surprise, but after a moment she realized she had overreacted, quickly gave an awkward laugh, and continued:
"Weren't we planning this all along? Why are you backing down now that we're about to succeed? This will ruin everything!"
Looking at the woman in front of her trying so hard to conceal her emotions, Mu Xiaoyu felt a surge of disgust. She could now see right through the jealousy and resentment in Wu Qianru's eyes. Mu Xiaoyu watched all this without showing any emotion, a strange sense of pleasure rising within her.
“That’s right, I’ve decided not to get a divorce!” Mu Xiaoyu said calmly to Wu Qianru while sitting on the sofa. Her tone was not only firm but also assertive.
As expected, Wu Qianru could no longer control the hatred in her eyes. Looking at the calm Mu Xiaoyu in front of her, she felt that something was different about her than before, but Wu Qianru couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
She gritted her teeth and tried her best to control her emotions, then moved closer to Mu Xiaoyu and watched her gently guide her.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Do you have a fever? You know very well that being with Li Chenxu is just mutual torment. You were the one who cried and begged me to help you create this illusion. Why are you messing with me like this!"
Wu Qianru reached out and touched Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, her eyes filled with unspeakable malice.
"I have a bit of a headache, let's not talk about this today, okay?" Mu Xiaoyu took Wu Qianru's hand away and pretended to rub her temples.
It was just a casual remark that surprised Wu Qianru. Before this, she had always been the one to lead the conversations with Mu Xiaoyu. The simple yet stubborn girl trusted her completely and had never hidden anything from her. However, today Mu Xiaoyu had taken the initiative to end her questioning. All of this made Wu Qianru uneasy. She felt that something was quietly changing.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Did Li Chenxu threaten you? Tell me, I can help you. We can think of another way, like yesterday..."
"That's enough, Qianru. My head really hurts. Let's talk another day!" Mu Xiaoyu wanted to interrupt Wu Qianru rudely, but then she softened her tone slightly so that Wu Qianru wouldn't notice her change.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's state, Wu Qianru assumed she was traumatized after being raped and would recover after calming down. Thinking this, Wu Qianru forced a smile and continued, looking at Mu Xiaoyu:
"Then you should get some rest. I'll come see you another day!"
Mu Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, escorting Wu Qianru to the door. The moment she closed the door, Mu Xiaoyu's smile froze on her face.
In her previous life, she had always believed in the deep sisterhood, but it was all an illusion. Her so-called best friend was just coveting her. Ironically, she was like a docile sheep, automatically jumping into the trap she had set.
Eight years ago, Mu Xiaoyu sought help from Wu Qianru to escape Li Chenxu, and her best friend devised a scenario to catch her cheating on him!
She told Mu Xiaoyu that she would arrange a man and a hotel for her, and prepare everything for her. All Mu Xiaoyu had to do was put on a show with that man in front of Li Chenxu, who came after hearing the commotion!
At first, Mu Xiaoyu was very grateful to Wu Qianru for going to such lengths to help her. However, she never expected that when she arrived at the hotel, Wu Qianru would scheme against her and try to make her take the fake relationship seriously.
In her previous life, Mu Xiaoyu never understood who had drugged her, but in this life, she finally understood. She was extremely nervous when she went to the hotel that day, and Wu Qianru handed her a glass of water to calm her down. That day, she was the only one who drank the glass of water that Wu Qianru handed her. Who else could it be but her...?
I can only blame myself for being blinded by sisterly affection, which led me to let her hurt me time and time again.
