Chapter 305 - I’m Not Easy Prey

“It’s easy for people like us to make any civilian disappear,” Faye made a veiled threat.

“Are you threatening me?” Yun Xiangxiang tore the veil away.

“I am just stating the facts. You are nothing but a speck of dust to us,” Faye looked at her mockingly. “Even if Song Mian is worried about you, you’re just some random woman he found. Calling you his girlfriend is a stretch,”

Faye sneered. “Even if I made you disappear and incurred his wrath, he couldn’t do anything to me thanks to the Cardicra family behind me. The most he can do is stop me from entering China for my whole life.”

“We are people of business. There’s’ no such thing as a lifetime of hatred, only a lifetime of profits. When the day would come where he needs our family’s help, that will be the day he forgets about an inconsequential woman like you. This is the tragedy of you peasants.”

“So Miss Faye is saying that if I don’t leave Song Mian, I will disappear sooner or later?” Yun Xiangxiang rephrased Faye’s words.

“You can try not leaving him. Let’s see if you can go up against me,” Faye didn’t deny it.

“Miss Faye, so love is just something that can be gained with power and wealth to you. Normal people like us don’t have the right to pursue love, it seems.” Yun Xiangxiang chuckled. “If even love is so unequal, then doesn’t that mean people like you hold power to decide everything else?”

“The right to make rules belong to the powerful,” Faye said matter-of-factly.

“Can the powerful flout the law?” Yun Xiangxiang asked gravely.

“You can give it a go and see if I can,” Faye provoked Yun Xiangxiang. She didn’t think a mere actress would be a threat to her.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at her quietly for a long while. “Miss Faye, we are born on different levels of the hierarchy. We uphold different values. But let me make this clear. I am not afraid of your threats, and I trust that he can protect me.”

Yun Xiangxiang stood up,” I don’t see the need for further conversation.”

“I can ruin your whole life with just a snap of my finger, believe it or not.” Faye threatened.

Yun Xiangxiang stopped in her tracks. She didn’t turn back, only turning slightly to her side. “Remember this, Miss Faye. I, Yun Xiangxiang, am no easy prey. Those who dare bully me will suffer a lifetime of pain by my hands.”

Yun Xiangxiang walked out of the door. She could hear the sound of glass smashing against the floor. But she ignored it and left calmly.

Yun Xiangxiang was surprised that Faye still had her chauffeur send her and Song Qian back, even after they had declared war.

She went to Milles and the crew after returning and went into the car heading to the next spot. Yun Xiangxiang found that the air got fresher after she left the city Faye was in.

Faye was a typical arrogant woman. She had everything she wanted since she was a child. That was why she thought everything she liked should belong to her.

That sense of entitlement she had bred her sickening obsession. Her life of grandeur made her into a narcissist.

“I think she will attack me soon. But I don’t know how she operates, nor do I know how she attacks.”

Yun Xiangxiang had a great instinct. If Faye could threaten her like this, she must be confident in her attack.

She would be going after Yun Xiangxiang soon. Faye needed Yun Xiangxiang to know how she could ruin her life with a snap of her fingers.

“I’ll be keeping an eye on her,” Song Qian nodded.

“Don’t tell Ah Mian about this. This is our fight. I am not easy prey,” Yun Xiangxiang reminded Song Qian.

“The root of this problem is the young master. It’s fine even if you let him handle this,” Song Qian still thought they had to notify Song Mian.

Faye was the young miss of the Cardicra family. The power she had couldn’t be underestimated. Even if Song Qian was on high alert, she could still miss something.

“Don’t worry. No matter how crazy she is, she won’t go against the Song Family this easily,” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t worried.

Even if Faye thought Yun Xiangxiang was just Song Mian’s plaything, she should understand that attacking Yun Xiangxiang meant going up against Song Mian. Provided that she had a shred of rationality.

She wouldn’t dare make a move unless the Cardicra Family could surpass the Song Family. But that was just a hypothetical situation.

“That tactical mind and courage don’t seem like it belongs to someone who had just come of age.” Even Song Qian thought Yun Xiangxiang was terrifyingly calm and mature.

Yun Xiangxiang smiled mischievously at her. “That’s how geniuses are. We always get doubted.”

But she became youthful again, just like how she should. Song Qian was amused, “Well, hello, genius.”

“You’re too kind,” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t humble at all. Song Qian had to pinch Yun Xiangxiang’s face.

“That felt good,” Song Qian rubbed her fingertips, recalling how Yun Xiangxiang’s face felt.

“Just say it if you want to take advantage of me. I’ll complain to Song Mian, you know,” Yun Xiangxiang pretended to be cold.

“Oops, I’m sorry. Please don’t complain to the young master, missy...,” Song Qian pleased amusingly.

“Buy me three ice creams, and I’ll forgive you,” Yun Xiangxiang negotiated.

Song Mian had Song Qian keep an eye on her, stopping her from having too many cold things. Yun Xiangxiang was displeased.

The weather was scorching. Yun Xiangxiang wanted to stick herself to a big tub of ice cream and dig in.

She finally had a body that wouldn’t get fat easily, but she could only have one scoop of ice cream a day. She wanted to have more, but she didn’t dare go against what Song Mian told her.

Song Mian said Yun Xiangxiang had problems with the lower part of her body. That was something caused by her falling into a pond when she was little. It left some consequences.

She died of an illness in her past life. She didn’t want the same thing to happen again, so she listened to Song Mian. The problem was with her discipline.

It could be decisive against anything, but not against food. It would crumble at the slightest temptation.

“If I got you that, you can use that as an excuse to blackmail me to get more ice cream for you.” Song Qian wasn’t gullible. She wouldn’t get tricked this easily.

Yun Xiangxiang pouted and kept quiet. She was trying to see how much she could get away with.

Song Mian was usually keen to spoil Yun Xiangxiang, so she believed Song Mian would let her have it if she could. But if he didn’t even budge on this issue, then that could mean the problem was serious, potentially life-threatening.

Fine, forget about the ice cream. Her life was more important than chilled dairy. She would endure the heat.

Song Qian laughed at Yun Xiangxiang’s quiet tantrum. “You can keep yourself in check when it comes to most things. To an admirable extent too. Only toward food will you act like a child.”

Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t keep herself in check when it came to food. She would throw tantrums too.

“A wise person once said something.” Yun Xiangxiang lamented. “Life is all about good food. And I agree.”

If she couldn’t eat anything she wanted, life would lose a lot of colors. Yun Xiangxiang felt sorrowful when she thought of her past life.
