“How is your mother?” Lily fired back. After Tang Lingyun had stabbed Qin Mo, Lily had never heard anything about Qin Fei and Xuan Hui. “I presume your father survived from that— unfortunate incident?” It’s funny how Lily thought that rubbing salt to someone’s wound was one of her best talents. Seeing Qin Fei’s face change, Lily beamed.
The issue of Tang Lingyun stabbing her husband last year was big. After all, she used to be an actress while Qin Mo was a well known businessman. To add to that, Qin Fei and Xuan Hui spent some time in the police station due to being accused of killing Xuan Hui’s secretary also made it to the news. Before Qin Fei could open her mouth to argue, Lily continued, “It’s been half a year? I wonder… did they found out why your cousin disappeared?”
Qin Fei’s ashed face instantly contorted. She could feel her throat tightened at Lily’s words. When it came to using words, Lily could still easily rile her up. “Feifei… I think we should just leave. We still have a few meetings to attend to. Let’s not waste our time here.” The woman beside Qin Fei said, sympathy apparent in her face.
Who doesn’t know that Qin Fei’s weakness was her family?
When Qin Fei told them that Lily Facci Zhou was a really hateful woman, the three of them did not believe this. After all, Lily’s face from the news, always had a slight smile that would make her look approachable. Seeing Lily Facci’s nasty attitude, the three of them immediately decided to believe Qin Fei this time.
“Let’s go.” Another one said.
In response, Qin Fei glared at Lily, her face contorted into an ugly scowl before she forced an ugly smile that looked as if she was crying instead of being happy. “Of course, my father is fine.” In fact, Qin Fei only heard news about Qin Mo these days. She had never seen him since Tang Lingyun stabbed him last year. “You sound as if… my family’s demise is making you happy. Does hurting the people who raised you for twenty years, make you happy? Are you really that cold hearted? Does ruining families make you happy?”
“Ruining the people who can’t help but offend me, makes me happy.” Lily answered without batting an eyelid. The reason why she let this woman go is because she thought that she would learn her lesson and focus on her family instead. After all, she already had a child to attend to.
To be honest, Lily actually thought that this woman might have matured after what happened to her family. After all, Qin Fei and Xuan Hui knew that Lily could ruin them anytime. For some reason, a hint of suspicion glinted in Lily’s eyes.
Both Xuan Hui and Qin Fei never tried to engage Lily unless… they thought they had a strong backing, helping them from the shadows. Lily immediately shook the thought out of her head.
“Are you threatening me?”
“Qin Fei… let’s just leave.” One women nudged Qin Fei. As the children of businessmen, they had heard about Lily’s achievements in the business field from their father’s. They were smart enough not to even think about offending a woman that even their fathers respected.
“Come on Qin Fei. This is not worth it.”
Qin Fei narrowed her eyes at Lily. She immediately recalled Xuan Hui’s conversation on his phone about Lily and his plan to leave Qin Industries. In Qin Fei’s mind, Xuan Hui had found a reliable backer that would help them get rid of this woman.
Of course, she was not planning to do anything against Lily for now. After all, Xuan Hui didn’t tell her what his plan was. Qin Fei immediately made a mental note to have a conversation with her husband later tonight to confirm their plans.
“Let’s leave. Feifei.”
Slowly, Qin Fei regained her composure as she continued to stare at Lily’s cunning smile. Talking to someone like Lily was enough to kill a person with heart problems. It was a good thing she didn’t have one. “It’s nice to see you Lily.” She said as she recalled the image that she took earlier with Lily and the man opposite her.
With the right angle, it is very easy to make a photo ambiguous and confusing, easily making people conclude the right thing. “I hope we never see each other again.” She added before walking away from Lily. A sharp sigh immediately escaped her lips. “Now… do you believe me? That woman is a bully.”
“She had the right to act that way. After all, she is more successful than our fathers.” One woman answered. “I also heard some news.” The woman turned her head left and right, making sure that no one was close enough to hear her next words. “You know that my mother works in an international magazine right?”
“Hm?” Qin Fei nodded, irritation apparent in her eyes. How did the conversation switch away from her? These people were supposed to sympathize with her. Was this because… she was not as relevant as before?
“I heard that Lily Facci Zhou will be included in this year’s Forbes Top Thirty Real Time Billionaires. My mother said that she made it this year. Last year her net worth made it to the top fifty. Now… she is I believe top twenty- nine? Isn’t that a great achievement?”
The irritation in Qin Fei’s eyes immediately became anger. Billionaire? Really? Was this the reason why these women ignored Lily’s nasty behavior towards her? Because Lily was a fucking Billionaire?
Qin Fei gritted her teeth. Funny how these people seemed to forget about Lily’s attitude earlier, when they heard about the Billionaire news!
Do people really value someone based on their money and not on how they treat other people? The more, she thought about it, the more Qin Fei raged inwardly.
