Chapter 70 - Not Someone You Can Afford to Mess With (3)

The bodyguards in black suits paused mid-step when they heard the rebuke. A small part of the sharp tip of the hairpin placed against Zhao Youxi’s neck by Zhao Youlin had already pierced into her skin.

Blood flowed down along Zhao Youxi’s fair neck. The mixture of red and light colors created an indescribable visual impact.

Zhao Youxi felt the pain in her neck. She reflexively looked down, only to see the bright red color of her blood. Her mind instantly went blank.

After a brief moment of dismay, Zhao Youxi returned to her senses. Her intense fear had induced her to struggle violently. She said, “How dare you… How could you…”

Upon hearing Zhao Youxi’s words, Zhao Youlin almost wanted to laugh out loud. ‘That’s weird, I’ve already done it this far, what makes this weirdo think that I dare not do it?’

Indeed, not only were weirdos nowadays becoming stupider, but they were also highly optimistic to the extent that one would become speechless watching them.

“Let me warn you, this is an inanimate object. If you continue to struggle, it might pierce elsewhere which is beyond my control.”

Within Zhao Youlin’s expectation, the moment Zhao Youxi heard her words, she instantly stopped struggling. However, she glared at Zhao Youlin so resentfully as if she could not wait to swallow her alive on the spot.

“It seems like you’re still not aware of your current situation,” Zhao Youlin said when she saw the spitefulness in her eyes. Zhao Youlin’s eyes fluttered. She mischievously moved the hairpin covered in bloodstains against Zhao Youxi’s neck.

The sound of Zhao Youxi’s gasps gradually thickened, as expected. Her shivers were becoming more visible as Zhao Youlin continued her motion.

“Speaking of which, other than the identity as the second young lady of the Zhao family, it seems that the only thing left for you to show off is your face, right? What if I use this thing to cut a few scars on your pretty face, do you think those men whom you’ve hooked up with will still be as subservient to you as before?”

Zhao Youxi’s gaze instantly changed. Her gaze was no longer as conceited and insolent as before. Instead, they were replaced by intense fear.

Zhao Youlin did not say more. She turned the tip of the hairpin and raised the shiny piece high, as if an angel of death lifting a sharp blade and was going to crush the last defense of a human’s heart without mercy.

“No!” Zhao Youxi’s loud shriek immediately rang throughout the entire neighborhood and inevitably sent a chill down the residents’ spines.

“Cheh! How dare you come to find fault with me with that spineless body of yours. You’re just asking for death,” Zhao Youlin snickered. The hairpin that was about to pierce her rested at a finger distance from Zhao Youxi’s side face.

It was truly a fingertip away! Zhao Youlin blocked the end of the tip with her finger at the nick of time to stop it. Otherwise, Zhao Youxi’s face would have been scarred by now.

Zhao Youlin slightly relaxed her grip on Zhao Youxi’s wrist. Zhao Youxi slid down weakly on the floor. She gasped for air in a low voice. Her eyes were full of gratitude and fear in the aftermath of the shock.

After a while, Zhao Youxi gradually recovered from it. Her gaze slowly changed from gratitude to resentment and gloom. She looked at Zhao Youlin and her bodyguards. A scheming look appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Youlin noticed Zhao Youxi’s reaction. She sneered and exposed her scheme without hesitation, “You were already an idiot and before you become worse, stop playing tricks now. The last time your parents came, they brought along more people than yours. Today, I want to give a word of advice to you and your mother, if you wish to live longer, you should know when to quit. Now, I’m no longer someone whom you all can afford to mess with.”
