Chapter 257: Chapter 250: She is a Demon

Xu Miaomiao was so embarrassed by her mother’s words that she didn’t even dare to lift her head. As a beautiful young girl, being told that she ate too much by her mother was so humiliating, she didn’t know where to hide her face.

Tang Yuxin handed a cup to Lin Yile.

Lin accepted the cup. It wasn’t filled with water, but seemed to contain a slightly medicinal aroma. However, the smell wasn’t too strong. She didn’t ask what was in it, but put it right to her lips, took a sip, then wrinkled her lovely brows as if it didn’t taste good. In the end, she drank everything in a few sips.

She really was too cooperative. Even if it was poison in the cup, she would probably drink it.

She raised her eyes, and her innocent, rabbit-like eyes were filled with curiosity, but she still didn’t ask any questions.

“Drinking one cup every day will be good for you.”

Tang Yuxin patted Lin Yile’s shoulder lightly.

Yile smiled and resumed biting her cup, occasionally kicking the legs of her chair with her feet.

After lunch, Tang Yuxin arrived at her home’s front door. She took the key from her bag. She wanted to see how the semi-conscious woman was doing; it had already been a week. After consuming so many Health Pills, she should have awakened by now. Otherwise, if she continued to eat like this, Yuxin felt she wouldn’t be able to afford these pills anymore.

“Dad…” she called out, but no one answered.

So, she had to put her bag down and go find the sleeping woman.

Yes, a sleeping woman, not a sleeping beauty.

When she opened the door to the room, something came flying towards her before she could react, and she stood there in shock.

Just then, a figure shielded her, followed by a loud bang. She hastily covered her face, feeling pain even though nothing had hit her directly.

When she finally opened her eyes to look, she saw Tang Zhinian’s forehand had turned red.

“Are you okay?” Tang Zhinian touched his daughter’s face.

Tang Yuxin shook her head, “I’m fine, what about you, dad?” She pointed at the large bump on Zhinian’s forehead. This felt like a sudden disaster. She had barely crossed the threshold before nearly being disfigured.

“Dad’s okay too.” Tang Zhinian touched his head, but as his finger came in contact with the bump, he winced in pain.

“You crazy woman!” He yelled into the room.

“I took you in, gave you food and drink, served you day and night, but you repay my kindness with harm. You even tried to disfigure my daughter.”

Peering over Tang Zhinian’s shoulder, Tang Yuxin saw a woman sitting inside the room with a face full of shame and anger. The way she was glaring at Zhinian, she looked like she wanted to tear him apart, devour his flesh, and drink his blood.

Ah, she’s awake. Her temper really isn’t pleasant, huh?

“Dad, since she’s awake, why are you still keeping her around? She nearly killed you with that attack. You’ve already done your part by saving her. She should have jumped from a higher floor instead of a low one. That was obviously an attempt to hurt others.”

Zhinian hastily covered his daughter’s mouth.

He then glanced at the woman, who had gotten up, looking unwilling to accept any help.

Just as Zhinian was about to say something, the woman collapsed onto the floor, unable to get up for a long time.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Zhinian rushed over and helped her up.

The woman continued to glare at Zhinian with bitterness, while starting to pinch the flesh on his arm. However, she was lacking in strength, so the pinching just tickled him.

Before she could pinch him more, the woman noticed the young girl standing at the door squatting down, staring unblinkingly at her. The woman turned her face away. For some reason, she didn’t want to meet anyone’s eyes.

Huh, why did I save her? Why did I save her?

What reason did she have to live?

Zhinian hastily helped her onto the bed and covered her with a blanket.

“Yuxin, can you help take care of her for a moment? Dad left some food cooking in the pot.”

“Okay,” replied Tang Yuxin. She pulled a chair and sat down, engaging in a stare-off with the woman.

After Zhinian left, Tang Yuxin, who was squatting at the door, sat herself down and propped her face on her arms on the chair.

“So you really want to die, huh?”

The woman didn’t respond.

“Oh…” After uttering this, Tang Yuxin suddenly laughed.

“If you want to die, I can help you. Don’t worry, I can make a lot of poison, and can even provide you with hundreds of ways to die,” she counted on her fingers.

“You can die beautifully, like you’re just sleeping, or die horribly, making anyone who sees you feel sick. You could even die a gruesome death that frightens everyone, or you could die in such a horrifying way that anyone who sees you will have nightmares, and even ghosts will be paralyzed by fear.”

“Tell me, which one do you choose? I’ll surely fulfill your wish and guarantee that you’ll die without feeling an ounce of pain.”

The woman shivered involuntarily. Then she looked at Tang Yuxin as if she had seen a ghost.

She pointed at Yuxin. “Are you the one who threatened me in my dream?”

“Me?” Yuxin pointed to her own face, “If you’re talking about in your dream, it shouldn’t be me. But if you mean a threat…”

The woman instantly retreated to a corner of the bed, seeing Yuxin as some kind of devil. Actually, isn’t she a devil? She’ll never forget that voice that appeared in her dreams, each word chilling her to the bone.

So, she’s finally scared? Tang Yuxin straightened her back, then going over to stand by the bed. She lowered her head and stared at the woman unwaveringly.

“Tell me, why do you hate my dad? He hasn’t done anything. On the contrary, he saved you. If he hadn’t brought you back, you would probably be lying in a morgue at a hospital by now. You might have even been used as a specimen displayed in various medical schools’ laboratories for students to visit and dissect. You’d be stark naked, floating in preservative, and you’d have been famous throughout history. I wonder how many people would have seen you in the nude.”

“Stop talking!” The woman screamed, hugging herself.

Zhinian quickly came running from the kitchen.

“Yuxin, what did you say to her?” As he sat down, he put his hand on the woman’s shoulder and gently patted her. “Don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, my daughter doesn’t mean any harm. She’s a good child.”

“She’s a devil!” The woman gritted her teeth and forced out her words.
