“Mai Douer, are you alright?” Qiu Xin placed the bouquet at the head of the bed as she asked Mai Douer this innocently.
Mai Douer’s eyes turned red at the sight of this woman and she glared at her. It was all because of this woman! It was because of her that she had lost her role of female lead, that she had lost Mo Juefeng and her child! She didn’t even have the ability to become pregnant anymore!
“Are you here to mock me?” Mai Douer sat up, but the movement tugged at her stomach and caused sharp pain. She pointed at the door and shouted, “Get out of here! I don’t want to see you!”
Qiu Xin looked at Mai Douer expressionlessly. “You look pitiful. The one Mo Juefeng loves now is me, not you.”
“Scram! Scram…” Mai Douer threw the bouquet Qiu Xin brought at her.
Qiu Xin didn’t dodge and allowed the bouquet to hit her. “I came to visit you out of kindness, but you’re actually being ?”
Mai Douer was so angry she started crying. All those painful events made her heart heavy, and now that Qiu Xin was ridiculing her , she felt like her heart was about to explode from anger. She wished she could just drag this woman down to hell with her.
Ning Shu had already called the doctor over. The moment the doctor came in, he gave Mai Douer a tranquilizer, but it took quite a while for Mai Douer to finally calm down.
Why did she need so many tranquilizers? It wasn’t like she was psychotic.
As Qiu Xin looked at Mai Douer who was now unconscious on the bed, she smiled faintly before turning towards Ning Shu. “I want to talk to you about something.”
“You want to talk to me? I don’t know you though.” Ning Shu frowned slightly. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was something wrong with Mo Juefeng’s new flame.
Qiu Xin walked to Ning Shu, then leaned over and spoke next to her ear, “We’re the same type of people. Don’t try to argue, I can tell I’m right.”
The same type of people? A task-taker?
Ning Shu’s heart abruptly jumped. This was her first time encountering another task-taker in a task.
Qiu Xin left the room first. After considering it for a moment, Ning Shu left the room as well and walked over to the display of flowers where Qiu Xin was waiting.
“You’re probably a novice, right? I’ve never seen a task-taker go at things as slowly and as roundabout as you,” said Qiu Xin as she crossed her arms.
Ning Shu looked at Qiu Xin. From up close, Qiu Xin had a sort of soul-touching beauty. Her skin seemed almost translucent in its fairness underneath the sunlight. At first glance it’d only seem nice, but the more one looked, the more one would feel like she was incomparably beautiful. The more one looked, the more stunning she seemed. Her beauty seemed to invade the onlooker’s very bones.
Ning Shu shook her head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
She didn’t want to admit that she was a task-taker. It was almost an instinct not to.
Qiu Xin smiled towards her. “There’s no need for you to be on guard against me. Our goals are the same, to get revenge on Mai Douer. I sensed that something was off about you a while ago, but I thought it was because you had gone through a rebirth and had come to get revenge on Mai Doue. However, you showed no hatred towards Mai Douer at all, which led me to suspect that you were a task-taker.”
