Mu Qianshui’s targeted words pierced through Yan Xinxin’s heart like a sharp blade.
An invisible pain, silently spreading.
Seeing Yan Xinxin frozen in place, Mu Qianshui’s lips curled up in triumph.
"The reason Chuxi even noticed you must be because of that face of yours, so similar to my late sister’s, isn’t it?"
"Yan Xinxin, don’t you think it’s utterly pathetic? From beginning to end, you’re merely benefiting off a dead person?"
"Mu Qianshui, that deceased person was your sister. Referring to her as a dead person every other sentence—don’t you think that’s excessive?"
Yan Xinxin questioned while gazing at the woman in front of her, who was chuckling lightly.
Mu Qianshui’s expression froze briefly as she savored the three words "sister," a cold, mocking smirk flickering in her eyes.
"It wasn’t Chenxi wanting to see me. It was you, using the child’s name as an excuse to summon me here just to hear this, wasn’t it?"
Yan Xinxin exposed her.
"Mu Qianshui, I’m standing right here now. Anything you want to say, just say it. Or if there’s something you want me to pass along to Mo Chuxi, go ahead and say that too!"
Unexpectedly calm, Yan Xinxin’s composure made Mu Qianshui’s face darken. She glared at her angrily.
"Yan Xinxin, don’t get too ahead of yourself! Let me tell you, Chuxi and I will get married sooner or later! Not just because we have a child together, but because the Mu family and the Mo family are century-old allies. A marriage alliance is practically set in stone. Chuxi being with you now is just a way to kill his loneliness!"
As she listened to Mu Qianshui’s near-hysterical rants, Yan Xinxin smiled faintly, her lips curling in indifference.
She hadn’t expected Mu Qianshui’s true face to be revealed .
"Yan Xinxin, what are you laughing at!"
"Hmm... Laughing at how pathetic you are."
"What did you say? I’m pathetic?"
Mu Qianshui sneered twice mockingly.
"Yan Xinxin, do you even know who I am? Wealth, fame, status—I have it all! Me, pathetic? Are you blind?"
Faced with Mu Qianshui’s arrogant, malicious ridicule, Yan Xinxin maintained her unruffled smile.
"Precisely because of this, it highlights your misery even more. The things you lack—those are the ones you scream most hysterically to cover up your insecurity. Isn’t that right?"
"You’re correct. Film Queen Mu, you have money and fame, you certainly seem glamorous. But there’s one thing you’ll never get, and that’s Mo Chuxi’s heart."
"What you said may have shaken me for a moment, but let me tell you, Mu Qianshui, your words hold no credibility to me! I believe in Mo Chuxi. He’s definitely not the kind of man to be promiscuous. You said he’s been with many women? Save your malicious fantasies. I won’t believe it!"
With resolute words, Yan Xinxin brushed past Mu Qianshui and walked away.
Mu Qianshui’s face darkened as she angrily stared at Yan Xinxin. Suddenly, she extended her foot to trip Yan Xinxin.
Caught off guard, Yan Xinxin stumbled several steps, thankfully catching herself against the wall.
She widened her beautiful eyes, exhaling in relief after the scare, then turned around sharply with piercing eyes.
"Mu Qianshui, you did that on purpose?"
"That’s right, I did it on purpose."
Mu Qianshui raised an eyebrow and smirked, shrugging nonchalantly.
"You’re pregnant, aren’t you? Well, you better watch yourself! You’ve already offended a huge group of my fans. From now on, be careful when you go out. Otherwise, it might just end up as two deaths in one..."
Yan Xinxin raised her hand and decisively slapped Mu Qianshui across the face, her stunning eyes sharp like daggers.
"Then before you cause ’two deaths in one,’ I’ll teach a lesson to the inhumane instigator that you are!"
