As Ming Yue was getting ready for bed, Lin Xi arrived with Xiao Hu.

Although she had already heard from Jiang Feng about the relationship between Xiao Hu and Sister Lin Xi, when she actually saw the two of them walking in hand in hand, it still took her quite a while to reluctantly accept it.

She didn’t pry into their private affairs, nor did she criticize Jiang Feng; instead, she hugged Lin Xi tightly and said from the bottom of her heart, “Sister Lin Xi, thank you!”

“You’re welcome!”

Lin Xi also hugged Ming Yue back.

After a while, she leaned close to Ming Yue’s ear and said, “Someone thinks you’re mad at us and has spent a fortune to hire the two of us to persuade you. Guess who that person is—and how much money they’ve spent?”

“What did Jiang Feng say?”

Ming Yue secretly made a mental note. She hadn’t even criticized the unnamed male operative, yet he went ahead and pulled such a stunt! Unbelievable…

Ming Yue was a bit speechless, but she still followed up with another question based on Lin Xi’s remark.

Lin Xi smiled faintly, let go of Ming Yue, took the phone from Xiao Hu, scrolled to the message Jiang Feng had sent, and said with a smile, “Take a look for yourself.”

Without hesitation, Ming Yue took the phone and glanced at it, then couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, teasing, “Who would have thought—Mr. Jiang sure knows how to be generous!”

“Exactly! Such a gesture is truly unexpected. So, Xixi, if I ever run short of money in the future, just deliberately quarrel with him so I can make some extra cash!” Lin Xi joked half-seriously.

Xiao Hu also squinted his eyes and laughed along.

Ming Yue could only laugh and cry, saying, “All right, whatever Sister Lin arranges.”

With that, the small talk came to an end. After helping Lin Xi and Xiao Hu tidy up the bedroom, Lin Xi grabbed Ming Yue’s hand and said, “Yueyue, have you decided what to do? Should we strike head-on or undermine them from the side?”

Ming Yue didn’t answer right away. Instead, she sat down with Lin Xi and invited Xiao Hu to join them, then softly asked, “Sister Lin, Xiao Hu, what do you think… what’s the most satisfying way to get revenge and settle the score?”

Xiao Hu answered without hesitation, “Of course it’s to strike hard and kill her—make sure she dies without even a proper burial! That’s the most satisfying way!”

Ming Yue remained silent, then turned to Lin Xi, waiting for her reply.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Lin Xi said, “If it were me, and if I could pull it off, I’d definitely choose a death that leaves my enemy utterly despairing—letting her taste the suffering of everyone she’s hurt, tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousandfold!”

Ming Yue still didn’t comment. After pondering for a while, she spoke in an extremely soft yet chilling voice to Lin Xi and Xiao Hu:

“What you both said is exactly what I’m thinking too—but what I really want is not just to do all that you mentioned, but also to drive her completely mad with despair at the very moment when she’s happiest and most hopeful.”

“Could you be more specific?” Xiao Hu asked frankly.

Lin Xi quickly followed up: “Yueyue, what do you mean by ‘the happiest, most hopeful moment’? To be honest, before I came here I didn’t look into that woman’s background in detail—just what I knew myself and what Jiang Feng told Xiao Hu. From what I’ve gathered, she’s been in Ancheng these past few years, working there, and it seems she even planned to settle down in Ancheng.”

“Yes,” Ming Yue nodded, then took out her phone, pulled up a few photos, and showed them to Xiao Hu and Lin Xi. “This is the current Liu Qingqing. After that incident, she came to Ancheng, not only successfully earned her master’s degree at Ancheng University, but also found a good job there, started dating a nice guy, and is about to marry him, finally living the happy life she’s always dreamed of!”
