"Shut it!"
Zhao Ruoxin was enraged and stopped her. She turned to scan their surroundings before saying in a hushed voice, "You have to stay at Zong He until my plan succeeds. You can't let anyone know that you're pretending to be ill!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyan's jaw dropped.
Zhao Ruoxin first entered the Yuan Family because her mother was mentally deranged, her foster father had died, and the debtors of her gambler-foster-father were after her.
If Zhao Yanni was merely pretending to be insane, then why was Zhao Ruoxin's doing all of this?
Moreover, Yuan Xuan had conducted investigations and found that Zhao Yanni had been 'insane' for some time now. This meant that Zhao Ruoxin had planned this a few years back!
This way, she could garner the sympathy of the Yuan Family and sail pass their defense to get to Old Mistress' side. Using Qinger's name, she could also gain Old Mistress' protection. Other times, she would put on a cute or naive look and pretend to be infatuated with Yuan Xuan...
This woman, who had some serious tricks up her sleeves, had carefully planned to get close to the Yuan Family. She would not have done all this for something as simple as to win over Yuan Xuan.
Her methods were terrifyingly meticulous!
One had to wonder what exactly she meant by after her plans had succeeded.
"Xiner, what do you actually plan to do?" Zhao Yanni asked slowly while using her oily hands to rub her eyes. She seemed to be scared of Zhao Ruoxin, but at the same time, was curious about her plans.
Although Zhao Yanni claimed that she was not sick, Mu Chenyan felt that her manner of speech to be somewhat abnormal. Her speech and reactions were slow, as if her brain had gone through major shock.
Zhao Ruoxin was clearly getting impatient. She looked at her mother's blank look and snapped, "Can someone as stupid as you comprehend such matters?
"You only need to remember this. If you don't listen to me, I'll send you back to City C!"
Upon hearing the threat, Zhao Yanni trembled in fear and pleaded continuously, "I don't want to go back to City C. I don't want to go back. They wanted to sell me to the Golden Triangle to become a prostitute for the army..."
"Humph! It's good that you know!"
Zhao Ruoxin's pretty face was filled with disgust as she coldly said, "You've done so many stupid things in your lifetime. Agreeing on helping me is the only wise thing you've done. Whether to continue staying in Zong He Sanatorium or to head back to City C, it's your choice. I'm not forcing you to do anything!"
As Ruoxin spoke, the frigidness in her tone was overwhelming. This kind of state not only caused Zhao Yanni to panic, but even Mu Chenyan, who was still hidden in the trees, to feel extremely uneasy.
"I'll go back to Zong He!" Zhao Yanni was obviously more fearful of City C. She was willing to remain in the psychiatric ward rather than head back to City C.
Zhao Ruoxin sneered coldly and cast a sidelong glance at her mother."I see you're not all that dumb!"
At this moment, her handphone suddenly rang. She looked at the incoming call displayed on the screen — Mr Shadow!
Zhao Ruoxin panicked and glanced around. Then, she lowered her voice and picked up the phone."Why are you calling me at this hour?"
The other party's voice was deliberately suppressed, and there was a hoarse and gloomy chill to his words."Miss Shu, I'm merely concerned that you're forgetting about what truly matters, so I called to remind you."
"Mr Shadow, my surname is Zhao, not Shu." Zhao Ruoxin's tone was heavy but helpless at the same time.
"Hehehe, Miss Zhao? Alright then, Miss Zhao. I'm here to I gave you what you wanted - you've successfully moved into the Yuan Family. Now, shouldn't you start considering getting me results?"
Mr Shadow's tone was sluggish, but Zhao Ruoxin could sense the murderous intent in it!
"It's the Spring Festival now. My mother has been brought over to the Yuan Family. I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish the task you're referring to during this period."
Zhao Ruoxin was extremely irritated, but she dared not offend the other party, hence she could only lower her voice and reply."Mr Shadow, rest assured, I won't do nothing after all that you've done for me, but I need opportunities and time!"
"Alright, I'll give you some time. Nonetheless, I want to remind you that I could help you move into the Yuan Family, and in the same way, I can easily disclose your history. You have to think carefully about which result you want!"
Mr Shadow's cold laughter caused Zhao Ruoxin to shudder. She was extremely nervous, and her whole being was trembling as she forcefully suppressed the feeling of irritation currently brewing in her.
"Mr Shadow, rest assured, I'll get you results very soon so as to not delay your plans!"
