CHAPTER 254: CHAPTER 238 TIT FOR TAT_2

The entire Qi Family couldn’t match up to a Yuan Yi, they were all quickly pushed aside, with Qi Yexin being too old to get involved, standing there stomping his feet in anger.

"Mu Shuoqian, what you’re doing is illegal. Under the broad daylight, you dare to do something so cruel. Luan Yi releasing the snake was wrong, but what you are doing will also land you in jail. So many people are watching, you won’t be able to escape the law," Qi Yexin said with a pale face, his eyes turning red with anger.

Mu Shuoqian was indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard a word, while Gu Qili quietly shook his arm.

She didn’t mind Luan Yi being bitten by a snake; what she cared about was Mu Shuoqian really getting into trouble over this. Aus City abides by the law, and no matter how rich and powerful one might be, you cannot commit a crime in front of everyone.

Mu Shuoqian grabbed her hand back and squeezed it firmly, his palm warm and dry, exuding a reassuring strength, causing Gu Qili’s previously anxious heart to inexplicably calm down.

Luan Yi was dragged by Yuan Yi to the edge of the box, and Yuan Yi grabbed one of her hands and stuffed it directly into the opening on top of the box.

"Ah, no, please, don’t." Luan Yi couldn’t break free and had no choice but to desperately seek help from Gu Qili: "Gu Qili, no no, Qili, Qili, please save me, I admit I was wrong, I shouldn’t have put a snake in your cabinet, I was blind for a moment, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please forgive me this once, please, I’m begging you."

Luan Yi spoke for a long time but Gu Qili’s eyebrows did not relax in the slightest. Suddenly, Luan Yi knelt down towards her, banging her head forcefully on the ground: "Miss Gu, you’re generous, please don’t take offense at someone lowly like me, I beg you, please."

Gu Qili narrowed her eyes, Luan Yi, who had once been so arrogant and claimed she would never beg her, was now knocking her head on the ground while crying and begging for help, oh the irony, if only she had known this would happen.

Suddenly, Gu Qili stepped forward, grabbed Luan Yi’s struggling hand, and directly stuffed it into the box.

Luan Yi felt pain in her hand and rolled her eyes back, fainting away.

"Luan Yi."

"Luan Yi." The Qi Family members scrambled over, Luan’s father helped her up and anxiously inspected her injury.

"Gu Qili, you are too malicious, I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless," Qi Meihui pointed at her, her teeth gritted with hatred.

Gu Qili was not malicious; she believed that Mu Shuoqian wouldn’t really put a poisonous snake in the box. Her actions were merely to teach Luan Yi a lesson; she never really wanted her life.

"Quick, call an ambulance!" Luan’s father screamed at Qi Chuan, who was standing there stupefied.

"You little wretch, I’ll fight you with my life." Luan’s mother charged at her with red eyes and a fit-throwing manner, but before she could get close to Gu Qili, Yuan Yi pushed her back.

Luan’s mother jumped up and down, pointing at Gu Qili and cursing, one word uglier than the next, spewing words like "cheap woman," "slut," and the like with fluency.

Mu Shuoqian’s face darkened, his cold voice interrupting her, turning to the still-shocked Qi patriarch and saying, "I intended to let this matter go, but it seems you are not willing to let it end."

After Mu Shuoqian finished speaking, he left, pulling Gu Qili with him.

Only then did Qi Yexin regain his senses. Was Mu Shuoqian actually considering letting them go, and now he’s changed his mind?

He strode over, and delivered a heavy slap across Luan’s mother’s face: "Shut your dog mouth, the hopes of the Qi family have been shattered by your words, you and your daughter are nothing but trouble, get out, out with you."

Luan’s mother felt an extreme injustice, looking incredulously at Qi Yexin: "Dad, I am your own daughter, Luan Yi is your own granddaughter, how can you only think of the company’s interests and disregard our feelings, Luan Yi is now harmed by that wretched woman, her life is in danger at any moment..."

"Enough, look at her wound and then look at that box, foolish, utterly foolish."

At this point, someone accidentally knocked over the box, and a snake fell out, its body brown-gray with black spots, the most common non-venomous snake in Aus City. The snake quickly slithered into the nearby woods, disappearing without a trace.

And the wound on Luan Yi’s hand was just a bit red, not swollen or bleeding.

Luan’s mother, as if slapped hard across her face, stuttered, "Then, why did Luan Yi faint?"

"Cowardly, just scared," Qi Yexin looked at her helplessly, glancing before striding away.

Soon, the ambulance arrived, and the doctor’s judgment was the same as Qi Yexin’s, this type of snake is non-venomous, merely requiring some anti-inflammatory ointment after being bitten. The wound was neither painful nor swollen, and there would not be a risk of life, but considering Luan Yi had fainted from fright, the Qi Family members insisted on taking her to the hospital.

Without any excitement left to watch, the surrounding people also dispersed.

"Young girls these days are really something else, releasing snakes to bite people? She deserved to be scared into fainting."

"She looks decent enough, how can she have such a dark heart? She really should taste what it’s like to be bitten by a venomous snake." For them, this story would soon become casual chat at the dinner table, but for the Qi Family, it was just the beginning of a nightmare.

Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Qili hurriedly began picking up the broken pieces of the vase, a piece worth millions, how could she not feel the pain?

Mu Shuoqian pulled her up from the ground, flicking the dust off her hands, frowning as he said, "Stop picking, what if you cut your hand?"

"Mu Shuoqian, you won’t think I’m wasteful, right?" Gu Qili shook his hand nervously, her impulse from earlier having resulted in smashing something worth millions.

"Such things are plentiful in the warehouse, why care about them? If you like smashing them, feel free to take out a few and smash them," Mu Shuoqian dismissed the antiques as if they were trash, not caring in the slightest.

Gu Qili grinned at him: "You never intended to let the Qi Family go, did you?"
