Chapter 383: Chapter 384: Feeling Guilty?

Leng Peini froze.

Yeah.

Ye Xingbei was right.

She disliked Ye Xingbei because Ye Xingbei was too beautiful, and Ye Xingli cared for Ye Xingbei overly much.

Many times, she felt that Ye Xingli treated Ye Xingbei much better than her.

She was jealous, indignant, angry, resentful.

But as Ye Xingbei said, Ye Xingbei already had a wealthy patron, she now belonged to another man, and could not possibly be with Ye Xingli again. Why did she still hate Ye Xingbei to death?

She didn’t understand why, but she knew, the person she despised the most was Ye Xingbei.

Every time she saw Ye Xingbei, she would be burned by jealousy, making her internal organs unbearable painful.

If she had Aladdin’s lamp, her first wish would be to make Ye Xingbei disappear from this world in the most miserable way.

She fiercely stared at Ye Xingbei – if she could kill without paying the price, she would have long ago killed this annoying vixen!

Ye Xingbei saw the resentment in her eyes and sneered contemptuously.

There are such unreasonable people in this world.

Whether others were doing well or not, even though it had nothing to do with her, she just couldn’t stand to see others doing better than her.

It was truly pitiful and laughable.

Leng Peini was angered by Ye Xingbei’s calm and composed demeanor, she asked in an angry voice, “Ye Xingbei, what are you laughing at?”

What she hated most was Ye Xingbei’s demeanor.

Despite Ye Xingbei’s humble origins, despite her being no more than a lost dog, she was never seen in a demeaning, pathetic state, always carrying herself like a princess—composed and elegant, making her look petty and narrow-minded.

Every time she stood in front of Ye Xingbei, she lost all her confidence, feeling diminished, as if she were only a servant girl.

Ye Xingbei reigned in her smile, leaned into her ear, and asked softly, “Leng Peini, the chocolate in my handbag was swapped by you, wasn’t it?”

Leng Peini was stunned, her pupils constricting abruptly, her body tensing up, she almost screamed, “Ye Xingbei, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you accuse me! I won’t let you off!”

“So scared, are you feeling guilty?” Ye Xingbei sneered, “Leng Peini, do you think that by secretly replacing the chocolate in my handbag and nobody saw you do it, then nobody will know it was you?”

Leng Peini violently grabbed Ye Xingbei’s clothing at her chest, her fingertips whitening, her body slightly trembling, “Ye Xingbei, I warn you, watch your mouth! If your unfounded guess causes a misunderstanding between Ah Li and me, even as a ghost, I won’t let you be!”

Ye Xingbei lowered her eyes to look at her hand, chuckled softly, “Leng Peini, since you are so anxious about Brother Li and since Brother Li cherishes me the most, rather than enmity, you should be nicer to me to win Brother Li’s favor. I really don’t know what you’re thinking, befriending me is the shortcut to gain Brother Li’s affection yet you only want to get rid of me! Leng Peini, such a vicious person like you, doesn’t deserve to be my Brother Li’s wife!”

Leng Peini held tight to Ye Xingbei’s clothing, pushing her against the wall, she glared at her and said, “Ye Xingbei, I warn you, don’t you dare to blather in front of Ah Li! If you dare to start spreading rumors and disrupt my relationship with Ah Li, even if it costs me my life, I will ruin your reputation and make you suffer a miserable end!”

Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow, chuckled disdainfully, “Leng Peini, aren’t you curious how I knew that you swapped the chocolate in my handbag?”
