Chapter 54: Teaching Gu Qingmeng a Lesson

Gu Qingmeng saw that she was obviously a bit surprised.

She looked at Xi Wan, a trace of defensive hostility flashing in her eyes: "What do you want from me?"

Xi Wan let out a cold laugh, lifted a foot and stepped forward, and before Gu Qingmeng could react, a slap flew straight at her!

The movement was clean and crisp, the sound sharp.

"You bitch! How dare you hit me!" Gu Qingmeng covered her face in disbelief!

In the next second, she went berserk, claws out, lunging at Xi Wan's face!

Naturally, Xi Wan didn't take those moves seriously; with quick eyes and swift hands she grabbed Gu Qingmeng's wrist, used the momentum to pull, and Gu Qingmeng immediately fell forward, landing flat on her backside.

Xi Wan stared coldly at Gu Qingmeng on the ground: "This slap is a lesson for you stirring discord between me and Si Jiuyin!"

Gu Qingmeng scrambled up from the ground in a disheveled state, and hearing her words, she thought that she and Si Jiuyin had already become estranged, then gave a cold smile, covering her face and glaring at Xi Wan: "What, Si Jiuyin ignoring you? Hmph, Xi Wan, aren't you two like sisters? Si Jiuyin just turned against you because of a few words I said; your relationship isn't that solid!"

This bitch dares to snatch Fu Sijue; she has the ability to make everyone around that bitch betray her!

Feeling smug inside, she then heard Xi Wan let out a cold laugh: "Is that so? Well, sorry about that—Si Jiuyin didn't believe a single word you said."

"What?"

Gu Qingmeng's expression changed; how could that be? Si Jiuyin had clearly seemed to believe her at the time!

"That's impossible!"

Gu Qingmeng gritted her teeth, resolutely refusing to believe what Xi Wan said.

"Gu Qingmeng, if you're foolish, don't pretend to be clever; on what grounds do you think the bond between me and Si Jiuyin can be shattered by your few words?" Xi Wan at this moment truly thought Gu Qingmeng was a stupid b—so the question is, which eye was Fu Sijue blind in that he originally chose Gu Qingmeng?

"You damn bitch—"

Gu Qingmeng opened her mouth, ready to curse.

Xi Wan's eyes flashed coldly, and she lifted her foot forward.

Gu Qingmeng immediately shut her mouth, watching Xi Wan warily, and involuntarily stepped back: "W-what are you going to do?"

Her face still burned with pain; she knew she was no match for this woman.

Xi Wan saw her timidity, her eyes disdainful, quickened a few steps, grabbed Gu Qingmeng's collar, forcing Gu Qingmeng to meet her gaze.

Her eyes were full of coldness and anger: "Now you're scared? Gu Qingmeng, I warn you, you'd better not think about harming anyone around me in the future, or—"

"Or what do you want to do!" Gu Qingmeng, not daring to meet Xi Wan's eyes at all, hurriedly looked away, still shouting resentfully.

Xi Wan gave a contemptuous smile, and the slap rose again.

Gu Qingmeng raised her arm to block.

But the slap lingered, not coming down.

Gu Qingmeng, puzzled, tried to lower her arm to see what was happening.

Yet, the instant she lowered her arm, Xi Wan's slap whooshed toward her!

"Slap—"

This crisp sound was louder than the previous one!

Gu Qingmeng was knocked down to the ground by that slap!

Her cheek tingled, and even her ears buzzed.

Gu Qingmeng's eyes reddened, but before she could get up, she heard Xi Wan's ice‑cold words: "Gu Qingmeng, this slap is to give you a lasting lesson; if you ever dare to meddle with my people again, it won't be as simple as this slap." "Gu Qingmeng, I'm not like you; if you truly push me to the limit, I can give up everything to fight you to the death. If you're prepared to accept that you'll end up with nothing, then you may try again!"
