"Bullshit." Shen Yunyun didn't take her words to heart at all.
She had the trading center at her disposal now, with several laser guns inside. Who was she afraid of? She wasn't scared of zombies, and she'd seen murder scenes before. Who could intimidate her?
Besides, she could say without exaggeration that where she lived now had the most top-tier security system in the world. If she really couldn't win, couldn't she just escape? As long as she activated the trading center, she could go to other worlds.
Thinking this way, she felt no panic at all.
But she hadn't expected Lu Qi to be so disgustingly underhanded as to bring Qiao Shiyue here. Shen Yunyun had long forgotten about the Qiao family; she hadn't thought of them in ages.
"Sister." Qiao Shiyue's eyes were misty, as if she wanted to get close to Shen Yunyun but was afraid of her. If Shen Yunyun didn't know her so well, she might have been fooled by that facade.
Shen Yunyun said nothing, just watched her, letting her put on whatever act she wanted. Qiao Shiyue wasn't stupid. Having suffered losses at Shen Yunyun's hands several times, she knew Shen Yunyun wasn't someone to mess with. She had originally planned to have no further dealings with her, since she'd already taken everything Shen Yunyun had.
But lately, she kept having a dream where Shen Yunyun pushed her down the stairs to her death. At first, she thought it was just a nightmare, but after having the same dream repeatedly, the feeling was so vivid that it seemed like she had truly experienced it. She even wondered if it was either a parallel world or a past life memory awakening.
Whether it was a parallel world or a past life, she and Shen Yunyun had an irreconcilable grudge. So she wanted to take revenge, to make Shen Yunyun's life a living hell. Wasn't Shen Yunyun always trying to distance herself from the Qiao family? Didn't she want to live her own life? Anything Shen Yunyun wanted, Qiao Shiyue would destroy.
She had spent a lot of money investigating Shen Yunyun. The results didn't satisfy her—Shen Yunyun wasn't working a regular job but had gone into the fruit business with a partner, and it seemed she was doing pretty well. The better Shen Yunyun's life got, the more unbalanced Qiao Shiyue felt.
She had already arranged for people to secretly contact those fruit merchants, planning to set a trap for Shen Yunyun. If she could ensnare her, Shen Yunyun's life would be ruined forever.
"Sister, your tantrum should have limits. It's been this long—shouldn't you have cooled down by now?" Shen Yunyun said nothing.
"Mom and Dad both hope you'll come home." Shen Yunyun still said nothing.
Qiao Shiyue went on talking, even throwing in some seemingly soft words laced with reproach, but Shen Yunyun remained silent.
"Shen Yunyun, so you're this cold-blooded? Treating your own sister with such indifference—you really are heartless. The Qiao family raised you, and this is how you repay them?"
Shen Yunyun turned to Lu Qi and sneered, "You sure are a handy tool, aren't you? Point you somewhere, and you go. Did you latch onto the Qiao family's coattails again? If we're talking about being cold-blooded, I can't compare to you. The moment Sheng Sinian got into trouble, you cut ties with him. By the way, do the Qiao family know you were with Sheng Sinian?"
"Don't spout nonsense! There's no such thing. Don't slander me here." Lu Qi immediately tensed up. "Shiyue, don't listen to her. She has a personal grudge against me and is just saying this to drive a wedge between us."
"Oh, so the leg you're clinging to is Qiao Shiyue? I thought it was some young master from the Qiao family. So which one of you is the lesbian?"
"Shen Yunyun!" Qiao Shiyue was furious too.
