Chapter 646 To Skin You

Chapter 646 To Skin You　　Ruan Meilin was still seething when she heard someone giggling. She turned around to look and her anger soared when she saw Tang Hebe standing there. She clearly looked like she had been there all along and she had heard everything from earlier as well. From the look on her face, she seemed to have enjoyed this live show as well.

And indeed, Tang Hebe had been standing there from the beginning of the confrontation. When she saw Raelle, she wanted to come up to say hello to her. But who knew her cousin was even more eager than her to rush into her own demise? Seeing Ruan Meilin, Tang Hebe stopped and even wanted to leave but something in her stopped her, and she just stood there and listened to everything. 

Calling it a confrontation would be wrong since Raelle had the upper hand from the very beginning. Tang Hebe could even tell that Raelle wasn't even taking Ruan Meilin seriously and Tang Hebe really appreciated this attitude of hers. Because for the longest time, she had allowed herself to become the victim because of everything the people around her said. 

But Raelle wasn't like her. Your comment is your comment, she won't take it to her heart. No, she won't even bother listening to your comment. 

"Are you done laughing?" asked Ruan Meilin. 

Tang Hebe shrugged, "I'm not laughing. I'm just feeling happy for you, cousin!" That emphasis on 'cousin' sounded very strange and mocking to Ruan Meilin's ears but she had no proof of that.

"Oh, and why is that so?" inquired Ruan Meilin.

"Aiya, isn't it because you have such good luck," replied Tang Hebe. "Don't you know how fortunate you are? Raelle Xiang doesn't extend her hand to help someone in need for just anyone. Also, that Dr. Lee... I've heard about her abroad. She is really the best choice you have. And I'm telling you, you should be counting your lucky stars since it's really not everyone's cup of tea to make an appointment with Dr. Lee. But this big pie fell into your lap while you didn't even have to extend any effort. How lucky!"

Although it sounded like she was being envious of Ruan Meilin, anyone with a little brain could tell she was gloating and mocking Ruan Meilin right now. Those nice words hid a sharp knife that she was plunging into Ruan Meilin's heart.

"Don't cross the line!" warned Ruan Meilin. "Do you think I'm mentally ill?"

"Are you?" Tang Hebe gasped in surprise. "Oh my, cousin! Then we really need to hurry up and do something about it. Mental illnesses are silent killers. We wouldn't want you to suffer all alone. Let me help you."

"Shut up!" Ruan Meilin roared attracting the attention of quite a few people around them. Although Tang Hebe chose to ignore those eyes didn't mean Ruan Meilin was able to do the same as well. After all these years of being the VP with high status, she had become arrogant and conceited. Also, she was very self-conscious about her image as well.

Who said she didn't want to tear off the mask she had been wearing for years? Of course, she didn't want to appear like Tang Hebe and look like a copycat anymore. But now, after all these years, this mask had become a rope around her neck, strangling her, tangled up with her. It had become impossible to extricate herself from it anymore. She had already expanded too much effort to wear this mask, now she could only live with it.

Ruan Meilin put on a smile and humbly gave a small bow to apologize to the people around, trying to maintain her good persona. Tang Hebe could only roll her eyes at her act. She was too into this act was all Tang Hebe thought. 

Ruan Meilin pulled Tang Hebe aside to an empty corner and warned her, "Don't think you're so smart. At the end of the day, you can do nothing to me. As for me, you know what I am capable of. I heard you really cherish that bastard son you brought with you."

"You dare!"

Ruan Meilin chuckled, "Wanna try?" She glared at Tang Hebe as she continued, "I'm warning you, don't try to incite me. If I became angry, I'll show you how mentally ill I am."

Tang Hebe was mad. She was super mad but she calmed herself down and smiled at Ruan Meilin. The latter found that smile really unsettling and her feeling was proven right when Tang Hebe opened her mouth, "Do you think you can bind Shui Xian just because he owes you a favor? Hah! Let me tell you, once he got to know what kind of play you staged, that favor will turn into the curse of your life!"

Ruan Meilin was startled. She believed no one knew that secret. Even the person involved knew nothing and she took care of everyone else involved in that play. How did she know? She suddenly felt a panic rising in her heart but she had to hide her true feelings from Tang Hebe. So, she bluffed, "So what? I have done so much Shui Xian. He won't abandon me just because I lied to him."

Tang Hebe laughed out loud. She laughed so much that tears almost fell from her eyes. "Shui Xian won't abandon you? Just what have you been doing all these years? You still don't know anything about Shui Xian. Does he look like a good guy? Trust me, he isn't. He hates it the most when people lie to him. He won't hesitate to skin you alive for what you did to someone he loved dearly just to accomplish your wish! You don't wanna awaken the monster in him."

Ruan Meilin's body shook but she still put up a strong front, "How will he know the truth? Who will tell him? You? If you wanted to, you'd have done it long ago!"

"Until now, I've been quiet just because I still had some hope that you'll turn a new leaf but you aren't getting anywhere!" Tang Hebe was disgusted just looking at her, "Dare threaten me again and I'll show you exactly what I am capable of. I am no longer that little girl who fell for your stupid words!"
