BROKEN-WINGED ANGEL: CHAPTER 34

Xia Mei Wei’s words kicked up an existential crisis inside me. I loved them? I truly loved them? I didn’t know, but one thing for sure was that I didn’t appreciate being toyed with here and played for a fool there. I did not want them to pick up an adorable wife without a snitch and live their lives happily ever after.

Envy and hatred are really terrifying things.

I decided to listen to Xia Mei Wei’s advice. Even though I didn’t have the courage to murder a person, and I didn’t have the self-confidence that I could make them love me unconditionally, I did have one thing up my sleeves that I could use. In society’s eyes, their relationship with me was taboo, and didn’t all rich and powerful families fear scandals? They always meticulously hid these ugly and repulsive activities in the dark. Even though they did it, they couldn’t say it.

At this point, there was nothing I was afraid of. Even if I was willing to withdraw right now, Chen Yan Mei and Mrs. Zhao wouldn’t let me off so easily. I had lost my chastity and thrown away my dignity. What else was there to lose?

Grasping my resolution, I decided that starting tonight, I’d begin to carry out my plan of revenge. I wanted them to pay the price equivalent to my suffering, and I wanted them to know that even if I was a nobody, I wasn’t an existence born for them to toy with or humiliate. I wanted them to feel the same pain of having their heart broken like mine.

From the wardrobe, I took several pairs of sexy lingerie that I had never worn before, and stood in front of the mirror comparing them. Weren’t they obsessed with my body? Well then, how about I use this tainted body as a weapon?

“Miss, what would you like to eat for dinner?” Mama Yu knocked on the door and entered my room, asking what dishes I wanted for dinner.

“Mama Yu, it’d be great if you could prepare some light and plain-flavored dishes. Also, you don’t need to send dinner to my room today. I’ll come to the dining room myself.” I gave a rosy smile as I answered her.

Mama Yu stared blankly for a moment, as if she were confused by the unexpectedly cheery look on my face. However, she quickly recovered and gave a smile.

“Miss, I’m glad to see you’re doing better. Seeing you like this makes me feel at ease. These past few days, you’ve been looking so down that I really have been so worried. Even though the young masters don’t say it, they’re also very worried about you. These past few days, they haven’t been getting home from work until very late, and even after they return, they don’t say a word. The atmosphere in the house is very heavy, and the Madame doesn’t dare speak very much with them.”

“Really? I’m sorry I made everyone worry. I was mostly worried that the bruise on my face would scare people away, so I didn’t want anyone to see it. We girls have to take good care of our skin, right?” I pretended to act spoiled as I responded to Mama Yu.

“Right, as long as Miss is happy, it’s all good. Tonight, I’ll prepare a few more dishes.” Mama Yu laughed as she left and went downstairs.

I immediately wiped the spoiled look off my face and looked at my reflection in the mirror. The woman in the reflection had an icy expression, and her eyes were laced with a strange gloominess.

Was this me?

At dinner time, I punctually went downstairs to the dining room. Mama Yu had already prepared a table full of delicious food, including things that I liked as well as the things that the twins liked. They had not yet come back, but I knew they would be back soon. In the afternoon, I made a phone call to the Zhao family business and they were in the middle of a meeting, so I asked their secretary to tell them to come back home on time for dinner. I believed that they would not refuse my request.
