Rebirth: Once Again With You

Li Caiyi wanted to laugh at hearing her 'selfless' remark. Following the desire to laugh, there was disgust and scorn from the bottom of her heart.

With a cold and dark gaze, she looked at Gu Xue.

"Gu Xue, don't you think it's revolting to act like a good person in front of the person you had been antagonizing all this time? You seem to have a grave misunderstanding just because I tolerate your presence, but you are not qualified to negotiate with me. Know your place."

Gu Xue felt a chill run down her spine, sensing Li Caiyi's hate towards her. As frustrating as it might be, this kid seemed to have a second personality when dealing with people she considered an enemy.

Her gaze carried a deep sense of resentment, as though Gu Xue had wronged her an entire lifetime of sin and offended her ancestor.

The younger girl looked at her like a human looking down at an ant. Insignificant and easy to trample if Gu Xue did so much as to provoke her.

Li Caiyi was frightening when she was like this. Totally opposite of how harmless her appearance was.

Gu Xue gulped and tried to hide her nervousness by making a defensive stance.

"Calm down a little, will you? Stop glaring at me. I was just trying to offer a win-win suggestion for both of us."

"There is no negotiation unless I'm the one who proposes it. You should feel grateful that I didn't make it difficult for you up to this point. Don't take a mile after I gave you an inch if you still know what shame is."

Gu Xue was scared and uneasy because this girl held her weakness, but at the same time, she was also aggrieved and furious by how Li Caiyi looked down on her. She couldn't stand it.

If only it weren't for this girl, she could live a much easier and more extravagant life.

"Hey, don't forget that I'm the one who took the brunt of your little scheme before. If it weren't for my quick thinking, Rong probably would have killed me when he found out the truth that I was colliding with you. Because of you, my life plan is ruined! At least take responsibility by hearing me out a little."

"Not only are you shameless, but I can also see your stupidity increase from the last time I saw you." Li Caiyi sneered.

"I never forced you to ally with me. You are the one who betrayed your lover first. All because you want to save yourself. Why should I take responsibility for your choice?"

"That's because you are threatening me!"

"Stop playing the victim. I wouldn't be able to threaten you if you weren't so cheap and sleeping around with many men at the same time. You brought this upon yourself."

Gu Xue became even more furious when Li Caiyi mentioned that. The accumulated anger and grievances she had held back exploded.

While shooting a glare as sharp as a dagger, she yanked Li Caiyi's collar roughly and hissed, "Stop yapping your mouth, or I'll kill you, you bitch. You think you are a bigshot just because you came from the Li family?"

Gu Xue snorted mockingly, "Ah, I guess you aren't Li anymore after the divorce. Too bad, since your father seems to like me more because he asked me to be with him as soon as he was liberated from your so-called family."

Pah! A broken family like yours should have been wrecked a long time ago. How does it feel? Having your father stolen by the woman you are looking down upon? What about your mother? Her husband has thrown her away like a pair of old shoes. I can't even imagine how miserable she will be."

Li Caiyi thought she would feel angry hearing her poisonous words, but strangely she felt calm, without a single ripple visible on her face.

Perhaps because she knew everything had over, and what Gu Xue did was nothing but a loser bark.

"You really are pathetic. If thinking like that can satisfy your sense of vanity, then be my guest. However, you are wrong about one thing." Li Caiyi dug her nails into the flesh of Gu Xue's hand, which held her collar, prompting a painful shriek from the older woman.

"Li Jirong didn't throw my mother away. It was my mother who wanted to divorce first. And the Li family belongs to my brother now. Only those recognized by my brother can use the Li family's name. Rather than worrying about us, you should be worried about your lover instead." Li Caiyi growled in a low voice.

Gu Xue couldn't stand the pain anymore, so she retracted her hand from Li Caiyi and took a few steps back. There were traces of blood oozing out from her wrist and on Li Caiyi's nails.

"Look at what you have done! Bitch, are you an animal or something? How could you be so violent?!" Gu Xue screamed in a panic, looking at her wounded wrist.

Li Caiyi could only sneer inwardly. Compared to all the abuse and harassment she received from her and Li Jirong in her past life, that small wound was nothing.

Seeing Gu Xue looking at her with horror gave her a sense of thrill and satisfaction. An evil smirk adorned her lips.

"And don't think I can't see what you are planning. I bet you also said the same thing to that man; you will act as a double spy for him by gathering information about me. Do you think you can fool me just because I'm a kid? Don't flatter yourself!"

"That's not true! Don't slander me. I seriously only want to erase the data about me you have in your hand!" Gu Xue's pupils were clear, and it appeared like she was being genuine when she said that.

However, Li Caiyi knew better than to trust this snake-like woman.

"Hah! I will be a fool if I even believe any words coming out of your mouth." Li Caiyi straightened her uniform.

"I refuse to cooperate with you in any way. My family and I don't care about what you and that man do, so there's no need to come and report to me in the future. As long as you don't cross your line or show your revolting face in front of me, you are the same as a dead person to me."

"Don't jinx me! Where are you going? I'm not finished talking with you yet!"

Li Caiyi clicked her tongue irritatedly. She shouldn't have bothered to listen to Gu Xue.

Thanks to her, Li Caiyi just wasted the time she could use to have fun with her friends. What a waste. A total waste.
