"Talk less nonsense with her!"
Anna glared at Song Xi, her expression as if she wanted to devour her alive, "Song Xi, no one is coming to save you today!"
Then she turned to order Mi Xuan, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and finish her while no one is around."
Mi Xuan walked over, "Song Xi, don't blame me. You forced me into this."
"What did I force you to do?"
As Mi Xuan got closer, Song Xi suddenly spoke.
Her gaze was calm, and a chill emanated from her entire body, "Mi Xuan, it's not too late to turn back now. You have many opportunities in the future. Why waste your time on someone like me."
Mi Xuan's steps faltered.
Song Xi continued, "I'm just an ordinary person. Yes, everything I have is because I'm merely Lou Yu Ming's mistress. What do you think my fate will be? I'll never be able to stand on my own. And the person by your side, after using you to deal with me, do you think she'll let you go? You know that dead men tell no tales, right?"
"Shut up!" Anna never expected Song Xi to play this card. She was demeaning herself to balance Mi Xuan's emotions.
Sensing Mi Xuan's wavering, Anna berated, "Wake up! She's trying to confuse you. I told you, if you kill her, I can elevate you to A-list! Think about it yourself. Without me, you'll never make it big in this life!"
Mi Xuan was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, she had never killed anyone and knew what she would face afterward. Song Xi was right; she was just feeling unbalanced! Why was everything she did inferior to Song Xi's? But hearing what Song Xi said earlier, she did feel a sense of satisfaction.
Right, no matter how capable she was, she was just a caged canary! She would never amount to anything in this life. What was the point of being glamorous when those wealthy individuals had such dirty and perverse methods behind the scenes, which she was well aware of?
So, in a way, Song Xi wasn't doing that well either!
Mi Xuan began to retreat.
Seeing this, Song Xi continued, "Actually, I might as well tell you, Lou Yu Ming and I have broken up."
This statement stunned even Anna.
Song Xi took out her phone, "If you don't believe me, I'll call him now."
"Wait!" Anna feared Song Xi might use this to tip someone off, but to her surprise, she had already dialed. And she was indeed calling Lou Yu Ming.
"Ring... ring... ring..."
The phone rang several times, and everyone held their breath. Only Song Xi looked indifferent.
He was still angry; how could he possibly answer her call?
After several consecutive calls with no response from the other end, Mi Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed they had really broken up!
And although Anna didn't quite believe it, she was still happy to learn they had broken up.
"Then..."
Mi Xuan wanted to back out, but Anna suddenly picked up the iron bar from the ground.
So what if they broke up! The matter was exposed. If Song Xi went around talking later, she would be in big trouble! Shao Cheng would not let her off!
It was good they broke up! And Song Xi had to die today!
"Anna..."
"Get out of my way!" Anna brandished the iron bar at Mi Xuan, "Useless! Do you think we'll get off scot-free if she leaves here safely today! The best way is to make her shut up forever! Only dead people are safe!"
Mi Xuan's pupils widened with fear. Fortunately, she hadn't acted, or according to Anna's logic, she wouldn't have been spared either!
"Mi Xuan."
A faint voice came from behind.
Song Xi whispered, "I'll count to three, and then run down with me."
Mi Xuan swallowed nervously.
"Three"
"Two"
Just as Anna let out a yell and charged forward, Song Xi turned and ran, "One!"
The two of them quickly ran down the stairs. Anna roared from behind, "You two, stop right there!"
Song Xi felt the wind rush past her ears.
She ran forward desperately, thinking that the police should have arrived by now and all they needed to do was get downstairs safely. But at that moment, Mi Xuan suddenly tripped, lost her balance, and tumbled down the stairs, dragging Song Xi with her.
"Bang—"
