The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 928 - 445

Everyone has their own temper. Even the most amiable person has their limits when provoked. The things Liu Xin did had long ago crossed Lu Xinyi’s bottom line. freewebnoveℓ.com

Sometimes, when she wakes up from a midnight dream, she doesn’t even dare to think about it. If, on that day, she had not happened to run into Xiao Xuyang, and if it had really gone according to Liu Xin’s design, what kind of days would be awaiting her now?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. A sense of dread welled up from the depths of her heart, making her shiver uncontrollably.

As for the likes of Liu Xin, who on the surface seemed as close as anyone could be to her but was actually conspiring with others behind her back, Lu Xinyi would be doing well not to come after her for a reckoning. "Liu Xin, do you really think I’m that easy to bully and that soft-spoken? You think after doing such things to me, just by saying a few nice words to me that all will be forgiven? That we can act as if nothing happened, just like before?" Lu Xinyi was already harboring a bellyful of anger.

She had thought that she just needed to recognize Liu Xin for who she was and then simply avoid her from then on.

But she didn’t expect Liu Xin to still have the gall to stop her. "Liu Xin, you didn’t really come to realize your mistake. Stopping me today isn’t out of genuine desire to apologize, but because you’ve seen my association with Xiao Xuyang and you’re afraid that Xiao Xuyang will target you because of me," Lu Xinyi felt exceptionally ironic.

In the end, what prompted Liu Xin to come and apologize to her wasn’t true remorse but fear of the Xiao Family’s power and influence. "So, Liu Xin, don’t ever show up in front of me again. I don’t want to see you."

After speaking, Lu Xinyi walked around Liu Xin, ready to leave.

Liu Xin felt indignant inside. She didn’t believe that what she did to Lu Xinyi was wrong. Indeed, right from the start, she had approached Lu Xinyi not because she genuinely wanted to be friends with her, but because she found Lu Xinyi’s demeanor particularly irksome. Truly a falsely high and mighty act. She wanted to tear off Lu Xinyi’s mask and show everyone her true face.

Even now, Liu Xin still felt that Lu Xinyi was very scheming. How, without any scheming, could she cling onto Xiao Xuyang after one night with him and even gain the recognition of Xiao Xuyang’s parents, to be able to join the Xiao Family?

As Lu Xinyi spoke, Liu Xin kept her head down. It wasn’t until Lu Xinyi walked past her that she suddenly said, "Lu Xinyi, you’ve really latched onto the big tree of the Xiao Family. Standing tall and proud now, aren’t you? Maybe Xiao Xuyang and the Xiao Family are blinded by your appearance, but if they see your true face, do you think you’ll still have good days ahead of you in the Xiao Family?"

Liu Xin’s words made Lu Xinyi feel particularly ridiculous. She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Liu Xin: "Liu Xin, my true face? What kind of person am I in your eyes?"

"Pretentious, sanctimonious, acting as though you see everything so lightly, but in reality, it’s just a fake facade you’ve put on. That’s why I’ve always been particularly eager to see what kind of despicable face you’ll have when your pretense is stripped away."

Listening, Lu Xinyi felt it was especially laughable. So, this is how she was perceived in Liu Xin’s heart. "Does that disappoint you? That you didn’t get to see me like that? Liu Xin, considering you a good friend was the biggest mistake I’ve made in my life. But getting to know you wasn’t all bad. I also have to thank you, for connecting me with Xiao Xuyang. Without you, it might have been impossible for Xiao Xuyang and me to ever meet."

This was Lu Xinyi’s heartfelt truth.

Before this, she might not have even wanted to think about that one night she had with Xiao Xuyang. But after meeting Xiao Xuyang’s parents and seeing how he behaved, she no longer resisted his approach. Now, she couldn’t help but be grateful that the one she had got involved with was Xiao Xuyang, and not someone else.

But Lu Xinyi’s honest words deeply angered Liu Xin. Who is Xiao Xuyang? He’s the man this whole bunch of girls all want to have a connection with. Even just being his girlfriend, if not his wife, would make them happy.

And now, such good fortune had fallen on Lu Xinyi, and furthermore, Liu Xin had pushed things along from behind. Just thinking about it made her furious enough to cough up blood.

Lu Xinyi said she was going to the restroom, so Xiao Shiyao, quite assured, didn’t follow. But after waiting in the classroom for a while, seeing that class was about to start and Lu Xinyi still hadn’t come back, Xiao Shiyao became worried.

After all, Lu Xinyi was now her future sister-in-law, and moreover, her sister-in-law was carrying her precious niece in her womb – nothing could go wrong.

So, Xiao Shiyao quickly ran out of the classroom to look for Lu Xinyi.

"Liu Xin, what are you trying to do?" As Xiao Shiyao walked towards the restroom on their floor, she saw Liu Xin from a distance. Fearing that Liu Xin might do something to Lu Xinyi, she rushed over and scolded her.

Liu Xin hadn’t expected to run into Xiao Shiyao, and if she could, she would have walked away upon seeing her. She had always been clear that a young lady like Xiao Shiyao was not someone she could afford to provoke.

"Xiao Shiyao, don’t be so nervous. We’re in school, and I’m alone – what could I possibly do to Lu Xinyi? Aren’t you being a little too anxious? Or did Lu Xinyi tell you something about me? Told you how terrible I am, how much I bullied her?" Liu Xin was unaware of Lu Xinyi’s pregnancy, so seeing Xiao Shiyao so worked up and looking at her with such wariness, as if she had bullied Lu Xinyi, made her feel that surely Lu Xinyi must have said something to Xiao Shiyao.

Lu Xinyi was completely disillusioned with Liu Xin. Any former friendship had long since dissipated. Therefore, hearing Liu Xin’s words, she found them laughable, and there wasn’t the slightest ripple in her heart.

"Liu Xin, you must have a persecution complex. Just because you’re bad doesn’t mean everyone else is. Xinyi hasn’t mentioned a word about you to me. Not a single mention, let alone bad-mouthing you. That’s something you often do – don’t twist other people in such a negative light. However, as for your character, I don’t need Xinyi to tell me. We’re in the same class, and even though we don’t interact much on regular days, I’m well aware of what kind of person you are. Do you wonder why I’ve never responded to your attempts to suck up to me on several occasions? That’s because I know what you’re like. For someone like you, my philosophy is to stay as far away as possible." Xiao Shiyao said, walking to Lu Xinyi’s side, looking back at Liu Xin, who had remained stationary, and said, "In the future, keep your distance from Xinyi. Otherwise, don’t blame the Xiao Family for settling the score with you for your past actions against her."
