Chapter 449: Chapter 449_1 Chapter 449: Chapter 449_1 “What are you so proud of, Qiao Xiaren? Your birthright is merely better than mine. My loss to you today is merely the hand of fate! I refuse to believe, refuse to believe that your good fortune will last forever.”
With these last words, a peculiar smile twisted across Qiao Anchu’s lips, half curse and half resentment.
“Is that so? What a pity then.” Qiao Xiaren nonchalantly took a few steps forward, once again mercilessly stepping on his terribly mangled hand. She smiled and said, “I control my fate, not even the heavens can dictate it. If they can’t, who are you, Qiao Anchu, in comparison? Thank you, however, for bearing the name Qiao Anchu. The name really is quite ugly.”
Despite her public display of violence, Qiao Xiaren remained elegant, her demeanor exuding such a stark contrast to her actions, enough to make one’s blood boil and bring about feelings of suffocation.
Wang Yi’s eyes sparkled with admiration; this was truly authoritative and impressive!
Gu Ming felt that they might as well kill Qiao Anchu to put an end to all of this.
Members of the four major families never showed mercy, otherwise, they would not have survived from the warring states era until today. They are ruthless and cold towards their enemies.
Qiao Anchu was in so much pain, he was sweating profusely, and his vision blurred. However, he saw Qiao Xiaren elegantly playing with the shards of a broken vase. Her icy, white fingers gripping the fragments created a chilling and wickedly captivating visual sensation.
She moved her hand slightly, and a piece of the vase whoosh passed just like that, embedding itself very accurately between Qiao Anchu’s fingers.
Giving Qiao Anchu such a scare, his heart could barely handle it.
He thought that Qiao Xiaren would genuinely gut him open.
Unfortunately, Qiao Anchu was being too optimistic.
Dying was one thing, but living with nothing, stripped of everything, it was far more painful and unbearable.
“I wonder what color your heart is. Curious indeed.”
Qiao Xiaren sneered, intending to vent all her pent-up anger.
She hadn’t settled on how she would kill her. Nevertheless, Qiao Xiaren found herself entertaining the idea of making Qiao Anchu taste the bitterness she herself had faced in a past life.
Destroying her beauty.
She’d make her suffer it all over again, subjecting Qiao Anchu to the same torment and pain she had endured in her past life. The mere thought brought a great deal of joy to Qiao Xiaren.
No need to rush, she’d enforce all of them in turn. Qiao Xiaren wouldn’t miss any of these punishments! This eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth was precisely her way.
She’d personally participate in the entire event, helping Qiao Anchu recall all that meant to be betrayed by all and experiencing bone-chilling pain. It’s pretty even, no? Seeing the beautiful eyes above her filled with icy hostility made Qiao Anchu shiver uncontrollably.
She stared blankly ahead.
The grand staircase in the hall spiralled downwards; the glossy floor was made of marble and topped with a layer of light-gray carpet, luxurious and refined.
Only moments ago, the privileged daughter of the family had descended from above, radiant and resplendent. However, in the blink of an eye, she was reduced to something worse than a pig or a dog, barely hanging on here.
Nobody paid attention to the person on the ground, as if they were just a dead pig collapsed there.
How glorious and proud she was just a few days ago, contrasted starkly with how miserable and beaten she was today!
This self-inflicted humiliation was truly bone-chilling!
Perhaps Qiao Anchu had not yet realized that more severe punishments were waiting for her, which would become the most unforgettable experience in her life.
