Chapter 380
Sheng Man’s heart was filled with terror and she raised her hand, trying to stop Ye Zhi’s movements.
Ye Zhi glanced at her in response. She raised her other hand and grabbed Sheng Man’s hand abruptly. With slight force, she stopped Sheng Man’s actions, pressed her hand down and made Sheng Man sit on the chair heavily.
Sheng Man fell on the chair and looked up at Ye Zhi in shock.
Ye Zhi leaned down suddenly and stared at Sheng Man with her pair of clear eyes. She opened her slender lips lightly, “You finished venting your anger, but I haven’t.”
There was a trace of fear in Sheng Man’s eyes as she had long since lost the idea of settling matters with Ye Zhi. She completely disregarded the thought because she felt that Ye Zhi was currently very intimidating.
Ye Zhi said nonchalantly, “You came with the intention to trouble me today. If you think you have been wronged, then I would like to have a good talk with you. Till then, let’s see who’s the one who has been enjoying blatant luxuries.”
Ye Zhi looked down at Sheng Man and said every word with clarity, “If you think everyone else in this world owes you a debt, why don’t you mention that Sheng Lian kidnapped me when I was young for your own benefits? He did that just to pave a road for you to crawl your way into the Sheng household!”
Ye Zhi’s voice became a little heavier, “Why don’t you mention the fact that I was abducted and sold, but you were still at ease as you played the role of the Young Lady of the Sheng family?”
Ye Zhi sneered, “You have done so many wrong things, and now, you actually dared to come here to seek the so-called justice for yourself?”
Sheng Man wanted to refute, but she found that everything Ye Zhi said was undoubtedly correct.
At this time, Ye Zhi’s voice was very light. Her voice resembled a silk thread, tightly and unforgivingly wrapped around Sheng Man’s heart, almost making her breathless due to its intensity.
“Did you know that after I was abducted and sold to that village, the nights were always pitch black and there were even mice scampering around all the time?”
Ye Zhi deliberately made up a few sentences to evoke Sheng Man’s fear, “All I could do was shrink myself on that narrow bed and tremble, keeping my eyes open every night until dawn.”
“Sure, the day would come and the sun would shine, but it would become dark after a while. Day after day, I lived such a mechanically desperate life of repetitive habits…”
Sheng Man screamed and covered her ears, “Ah… don’t say it! I don’t want to hear it!”
Ye Zhi pulled Sheng Man’s hands down from her ears and forced Sheng Man to look her in the eyes, “You don’t want to listen, but I intend to keep talking!”
Ye Zhi’s tone was extremely cold, “Sheng Man, do you still feel like you’ve been through a lot?”
“When you project your hatred on others, have you ever thought about whether or not you were qualified to enjoy their suffering? Do others deserve to be deceived and bullied by you?”
Ye Zhi’s tone was very calm, but it was so cold that it was capable of making Sheng Man panic, “Now it’s just a cycle of karma where the villains have been retributed.”
Ye Zhi said lightly, “You have no right to blame your downfall on anyone.”
Sheng Man’s face was pale as she looked at Ye Zhi. Ye Zhi was wearing only a light layer of makeup, but her appearance was extremely beautiful and she radiantly shone under the light.
Ye Zhi was like an extremely bright rose— she was as compassionate as she was beautiful.
However, when the night took over and someone else took the initiative to provoke her, she would spread all her thorns and defend her rights fearlessly.
