Chapter 477: I Want You to Be Buried With the Dead
“Wait for me here. I’ll go buy two tickets,” Qian’e said to Xia He.
Xia He nodded and slowly sat down on the stool by the big tree. She had acted in many stage plays and knew the kind of angles that would make it difficult for others to see her face clearly. Even professionals would not be able to see her face clearly unless they leaned in to take a closer look.
There were not many people who came to row in the morning. Qian’e quickly bought the tickets and the two of them chose a boat to row to the center of the lake.
“We can finally talk now,” Xia He said with a sigh.
“We can’t act too normal. Otherwise, the people ashore will become suspicious when they look at us. Do you think they are using binoculars?” Qian’e asked curiously.
“If you didn’t tell them we’re going on the lake, I don’t think they would bring such a thing out. People wouldn’t expect us to be here,” Xia He said.
“I didn’t tell them about my plan. I just told He Mei that her wish would come true and I didn’t mention it again. When I came out this morning, I was so nervous. I used to hate Qiao Mei and could come up with loads of things to scold her. Now, I have to think about what to say when I scold her,” Qian’e said helplessly.
No one would have thought that she would become good friends with Qiao Mei.
“You still have to continue scolding. Let them see that we’re quarreling. Why not just let out all the frustration you’ve had all these years,” Xia He said.
“I don’t know how long I’ll need to do that. I wonder if Qiao Mei is ready at her end.” From time to time, Qian’e would look towards the shore in the east to see if there was anyone coming.
“It’s been more than 20 minutes since we came out and came to the center of the lake. I think they’re ready. It’s time for us to take action,” Xia He said.
Qian’e lowered her head and pondered for a long time. She recalled the past scenes of Ma San ruthlessly beating and scolding her, the cold metal bed in the hospital, the scoldings from her family all these years, and all the ridicule from her neighbors. All of these scenes were deeply engraved in her mind and she could not get them out.
She suddenly stood up, pointed at Xia He and scolded, “It’s all because of you that I ended up like this! It’s all because of you! If not for you, I wouldn’t have been mocked! If not for you, I wouldn’t have been deceived!”
“Do you know how much I want you to die! As long as you die, Xia Zhe will fall in love with me! At that time, the position of Mrs. Xia will be mine!”
“I’ve waited for him bitterly for so many years! How can a girl from nowhere like you snatch him away! Who do you think you are! Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror!”
Qian’e grabbed Xia He’s hair agitatedly and pulled it towards the surface of the lake, causing the entire boat to rock violently.
“Look at you. You have a pretty face, don’t you! You’re a b*tch! You must have gotten pregnant to threaten Xia Zhe!”
Xia He tried her best to break free from the grip Qian’e had on her and held on tightly to the boat with both her hands. She did not expect Qian’e to be so agitated. She guessed that Qian’e must have suffered a lot over the years.
Qian’e stared at Xia He indignantly and said, “During that period of time, I was scolded every day! I was called a whore and a jinx every day. I only have myself to blame and I can’t blame anyone else, but I can’t accept it! I clearly have no intention of harming anyone! They are the ones who harm me! Why do I have to bear all of this!”
“I didn’t know you suffered so much back then.” Xia He looked up at Qian’e with a trace of pity in her eyes.
“What kind of look is this! I don’t want you to pity me! There’s nothing pitiful about me! If not for you, would I be living such a miserable life!” Qian’e said as she avoided Xia He’s gaze.
There was now a red cloth strip on a branch on the west bank. This was the signal that Kong Lu and Xia He agreed on.
Xia He slowly stood up and said, “You clearly brought this on yourself! You’re the one who did all kinds of evil and ended up like this! Who can you blame!”
Qian’e stared fixedly at Xia He and said with a strange smile, “In that case, if my child can’t be born, how can your child live in this world? Then you and your child can be buried with my child! This way, my child won’t be alone!”
“What are you doing! Don’t come over!” Xia He said nervously as she held her stomach.
“I want you to die!” Qian’e seized the opportunity and pounced on Xia He, causing the two of them to fall into the water together.
