Chapter 168 – Ms. Kim, Why Do I Feel You Are Duping Me?
When Qi Shuai heard Ryan's deal, a voice screamed near his ear. 'Shuai, you are simply dead! Just go and quickly prepare the invites of the guests for your own funeral. Shufen is going to just kill you and finish all the fuss".
And there is no way he could doubt that internal voice of his, as he also knew the truth well. He has seen how much Shufen is possessive and caring towards this woman. Saying that he has kept her in his palm will be an understatement if it meant to describe his love and concern for her. And now he could not imagine what will happen if he heard someone offering her such a deal to leave him?
'No, no this can't happen. This simply can't happen. If these words reach his ears, then not only him but this whole world will be pushed towards its end. No, I will have to stop all this at any cost or only I will become the person to be blamed at the end and it will be only me who will have to take all the curses of the people around' he thought as he shook his head in horrific denial.
His eyes moved to look at the woman to whom the deal was offered. She looked all cool and nonchalant about it, thinking deeply about it. Was she planning to accept the deal? 'What the hell! Li Xue, you can't take this deal. Do you hear me? You can't accept this offer. Deny it straightaway, come on! Just deny it!' he tried to yell out but, his voice was simply not coming outside. His throat felt heavy, might be because of the iced drink he was sipping all this time.
Heavens please show some mercy on us! Don't let Li Xue accept the deal or this world will surely be dead. Please show us some pity!
Li Xue gave some good thought to Ryan's words. Leaning forward towards the table, she held her chin on her hand with the support of her elbow on the table and said in a very deep and smooth tone. "Without any doubt, the offer seemed to be very enticing to my ears. Something very profitable and should not be missed even if the person is in the delusional state" She said taking a pause in her words.
Ryan also smiled when she saw her plans getting fulfilled according to her. On the other side, Qi Shuai instantly paled in complexion. 'Someone please come and kill me before this catastrophe actually happens. I don't want to become the scapegoat. Please, someone, save me', he cried internally. Closing his eyes in grief, he was all ready to take the blow when suddenly he heard the best and the most soothing word of this world.
"But …"
'Am I being saved!' his eyes instantly snapped open becoming all expectant to the next coming words. He has seen the ray of hope around.
Ryan raised her brows doubtfully at her too, not understanding what suddenly felt flawed in the deal. "But?" Li Xue smiled looking at her instant response. Do the woman in love become so useless? She questioned internally, directed to no one in particular and then continued, "But Ms Kim don't you think you are duping me with this enticing looking offer?"
"What do you mean?" Ryan asked not understanding what exactly she meant with those words.
"My meaning is as simple as it sounded to your ears. Though I am a dessert chef, I am not that weak in mathematics. I still know the basic profit and loss" she said all politely but a side of her was getting back on her arrogant attitude with which she has begun with. "I know that your offer might look attractive. I mean 50 million is not a small amount, but it is just a reflection image that only looks tempting when in actuality something else can be more good"
"Li Xue, be clear with your words" Ryan could not control but slam her hand on the table, showing the level of anger she was holding inside. The glass on the table shook a little because of the sudden force applied.
Seeing her action of agitation, Li Xue could not control but laugh out. "Ms Kim, please don't lose your anger like this, your frail hand might not take it and you might have to feel the pale of fracture. And I am sure, you won't want that. Now let me clear up my words. You offered me 500 million, right? But don't you think, living with Shufen and marrying him can bring me more than that? Then why should I bother accepting your offer or putting my mind into it?"
"Li Xue, you are such a b*tch here. How come Shufen could not see your true face?" She yelled standing up in agitation.
Li Xue too followed her suit and stood up. Her lips gave off a delicate smile that was at the same time mocking the woman in front of her eyes. "Ummm … I can't be too sure Ms Kim. But this might be related to my beauty and charm. Maybe Shufen became too weak in front of it. I wish I could bless you with such beauty but that would make me lose a treasure like him so it would be better to not do so"
"Don't be so greedy Li Xue. If Shufen comes to know about it, he himself push you to the hell" Rayan warned again but it did not faze Li Xue even a bit. She looked all accustomed and welcoming to those insulting words which further irked Ryan.
"Ms. Kim, don't you feel Shufen's beauty is worth dying. If given a choice, won't you also choose to die rather than leave Shufen to some other woman? Sorry, his beauty is the cream of the crop along with his wealth. So I can't accept your offer" Her words sounded blatantly greedy and selfish but Li Xue did not care at all.
At the side, Qi Shuai was all taken aback. From all the reasons he simply was not waiting to hear something like this. His Sister – in – law was becoming gracefully vicious. Greedily talking about money but there was no shame in her eyes or expressions as if her words were the most appropriate thing in this world.
"I will tell Shufen about this and then he will let you know your actual place. That bas*ard child of yours will also not help you get his mercy. She is just …" her words came out all poisonous but before it could get complete the glasses on the table made a loud clanking voice making everything go silent.
This time it was Li Xue who slammed her hands on the table. "Ms Kim you better not mention my daughter in the middle of all this, or I won't go any simple to you. I will even forget that you are Shufen's long-aged friend. Don't take me an easy piece in the beginning or you will regret it very badly later".
Her words were not simple, it was warning about the disaster that will befall if not changed its way.
"You … are you threatening me?" Ryan said with a slight stuttering voice. She could not help but be shaken at the loud roar.
"No, I am not threatening you, just giving a mild warning", Li Xue said lightly, taking out the pricked glass piece from her hands nonchalantly. With that roar of hers, none has noticed a glass falling down, making it break into pieces.
"Xiao Xue, what happened here?" At this moment a cold voice came from a distance, making Li Xue, a little stiff in her position. 'How can she forget? Mr Beelzebub was still in the house?'
