âWhy are you doing this?â Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Wei in confusion and her voice trembled. âIf you want to harm me, come at me. Why do you want to hurt Mom? Sheâs also your mother!â
Yuan Xiao regretted underestimating Yuan Wei. She originally thought that no matter how overboard she was, Yuan Wei would only target her. She did not expect that she would hurt Sun Li and the child in her stomach.
âXiao Xiao, what are you talking about?â Yuan Weiâs expression was innocent, and her voice was sobbing. âDidnât you tell me that Mom likes kittens? How did I know that she would have such a reaction? Shouldnât you give me an explanation?â
Hearing Yuan Weiâs words, Yuan Xiao finally understood her true motive. She sneered and said, âSo you really did this to deal with me. But have you ever thought about what would happen if Mom is really in danger?â
Yuan Xiaoâs gaze suddenly became sharp, and her tone was especially cold. âWould you take my word for it, that if anything happens to Mom, Iâll only make you pay a more painful price?â
Yuan Wei was so frightened by Yuan Xiaoâs gaze that she felt a little guilty. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, she still forced herself to say, âI donât understand what you mean.
Youâre clearly lying to me on purpose. Thatâs why I gave Mom the wrong gift.
Itâs all because youâre deliberately sowing discord between Mom and me!â
Yuan Xiao found Yuan Weiâs hoarse voice ridiculous. Compared to Yuan Weiâs nervous expression, Yuan Xiaoâs tone was still very calm. âIs that so? Thereâs no one else here. Whatâs the point of acting like this?â
âWhat acting? I donât understand what youâre saying!â Yuan Wei still refused to admit it. She had long been prepared to frame Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao looked at her and took out her cell phone in disappointment. She played the recording from the bedroom word for word. Their conversation echoed in the empty hall.
Yuan Weiâs expression became worse and worse. When the audio finished playing, Yuan Wei completely collapsed to the ground. She had never expected Yuan Xiao to be vigilant enough to record their conversation.
âWhy? Do you need me to play it again?â
Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Wei and realized that a self-deprecating smile had appeared on her pale face. âYou winâ¦â
Yuan Weiâs voice was a little weak, but it clearly entered Yuan Xiaoâs ears.
âYouâre wrong. I didnât win.â Yuan Xiao walked up to Yuan Wei and looked at her in disappointment. âI originally wanted to bet on whether I would be able to use this recording. You made me lose.â
Looking at the silent Yuan Wei, Yuan Xiao continued, âHave you thought about the consequences of doing this?â
âConsequences?â Yuan Wei chuckled as she sat on the ground. âIf they believe me, youâll become a scheming bad child in front of Mom and Dad. If Iâm lucky, they might hate you more and more and distance themselves from you.â
âIf they donât believe me, they will just let this matter rest. But I didnât expect you to be so scheming. I underestimated you.â Yuan Wei slowly stood up from the ground, as if she had already accepted reality.
âI donât blame you for anything else, but have you ever thought that if Mom gets injured because of this and the child in her stomach is hurt, can you bear the consequences?â Yuan Xiao still could not accept the fact that Yuan Wei had become like this.
âThe child in her stomach?â Yuan Wei smiled and said, âItâs even better if itâs gone. I donât want another little fellow to go against me in the future.â
Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Wei in disappointment. There seemed to be many changes in her.
âYou shouldnât be so viciousâ¦â Yuan Xiao seemed to be talking to herself and questioning Yuan Wei.
âIâm vicious?â Yuan Wei seemed to have been provoked as she shouted agitatedly, âHow did you treat me?! What did I do wrong? Why does everyone hate me?! Why does everyone like you?!â
Jealousy had completely blinded Yuan Weiâs eyes. She wished that Yuan Xiao could disappear forever.
âYou still donât know what youâve done wrong? Youâre simply incurable!â Yuan Xiao lowered her body angrily at Yuan Wei. âDonât do anything to hurt others in the future! Especially Dad and Mom!â
âIs there any point in saying all this now?â Yuan Wei felt that Yuan Xiao was just acting. âDad and Mom will ignore me in the future. You have fulfilled your wish and completely defeated me. You snatched everything that originally belonged to me. If we hadnât been taken home by the wrong families, none of this would have happened!â
âDonât worry, I wonât tell them about the recording..â
