Did she like him?
Pursing her lips, Yun Shishi recalled when she bumped into that scene of the two at the hospital .
The woman was embracing and reveling in his doting love . The happiness she exhibited on her face was not the kind of adoration one would have for her brother .
Her look spoke volumes of her possessiveness and amorous desire .
An attachment she sought but could not get .
There was no doubt that she liked her uncle .
Her liking could not be obvious; it was suppressed more or less by societal norm .
AdvertisementStill, deep down, her feelings for her uncle was not a simple familial love .
Yun Shishi got a better idea of this woman's thoughts right now .
Although she accused her of being the third party, in fact, she herself yearned to be the woman standing by his side and not as his niece .
With this newly found knowledge, she smiled at her competitor and slowly uttered, “I believe you've got something wrong here . ”
“What?” Song Enya looked at her with a start .
“I'm not the mistress that messed with their marriage . ” Cocking a brow, she displayed a cool and elegant smile . “Mu Yazhe is only engaged right now; what he has is merely a fiancée . Is he married yet? I don't think so . How can you say that I'm destroying their marriage?”
“Brother Mu is already engaged to Mu Wanrou!” the latter blurted angrily .
Her choice of word did not escape her, though .
Mu Wanrou .
She had addressed her by name directly without any qualms .
This might be because she could not accept that woman as her uncle's fiancée .
She added . “So, what if they are engaged? It's only an engagement ordered by the family elders . He doesn't feel any love for the other party . How is this considered as me coming between them? Heh . ”
Her sneer thoroughly antagonized Song Enya .
That pushed her to rap blatantly . “Hah! You're too naïve for your own good! Do you think Brother Mu really likes you? He's just toying with you! Oh, c'mon . You really think that you can take this chance to earn a title and marry into a rich family? The Mu is the top elite family in the capital . Grandpa Mu won't ever let an actress enter the family! Are you thinking of marrying him? You'd be better off buying a pillow for your daydream as that'd be more realistic!”
She was clearly jeering at her for having such notion .
His niece's flagrant mocking was like driving a needle, dipped with salt, into her heart, causing her to feel unbearable pain .
Despite the pain she was experiencing inside, Yun Shishi toughened herself up and maintained her gracious smile . “What of that?”
“You…” Song Enya was aghast with the former's lack of shame and berated, “Shameless!”
“Well, let's say that your words are right . ” Pouting her lips innocently, Yun Shishi threw her a sympathetic look to hint that she knew of the latter's immoral affection for her uncle and continued resignedly . “I'm here to marry the rich—to snatch your Brother Mu that is Mu Wanrou's fiancée—and I'm the third party . Still…”
A brief moment passed, and then she looked up with a sharp glare at her . “What can you do about that?”
“You!”
Song Enya lifted her palm high and sent a hard slap to her face .
Yun Shishi caught her wrist halfway, though . She looked meek and feeble, so the other woman did not expect her to possess this much strength! In fact, when she clenched her hand, a row of deep red marks appeared on Song Enya's fair wrist .
She, when truly antagonized, was akin to a ferocious kitten, which would swing its claws and return unimaginable pain to its aggressor .
