Chapter 778 778: We Were Friends
Therefore, as soon as Hua Zi received the mission, she accepted it because of the huge reward.
She hadn’t expected Qingyan to remain the same cold-blooded woman as before. Although she had already found the love of her life, her man was worse than she was.
Both of them were only loyal to themselves.
Even if she was already 50 years old, Qingyan was still the same killer as she was previously. She would still be the kind where she would cripple your ego before killing you. But now, Hua Zi regrets her choice.
“Qing…. Qingyan, we’ve…we’ve been friends for years. When we were young, we used to go on missions together. Please forgive me just this once? I…. I don’t actually hate you, and I don’t mean any harm. I…. Like what you said, my husband left a will, but everything was given to his son. There was nothing left for me. If his son were to die now, everyone would think that I am the one who did it and would sue me for it. My investment hasn’t been successful as well recently, which is why I had to take this mission to earn more. You…could you just pretend that you didn’t see me here today? I’m different from Qing Yijun. I can’t just disappear from here. I came to your house for the banquet, and there are people who witnessed me here. My family will come after me as well.” Xie Qingyan continued smiling the entire time. “You came here to kill me and wanted to kill my precious daughter. You’re telling me that you meant no harm? If a killer meant no harm, are you telling me that the world is now filled with love? Hua Zi, you said it yourself that the past 20 years of luxurious life have changed me, but in my point of view, it hasn’t. The only person who changed was you. Your brain has been infected by worms. I should get someone to clean it out for you.
“As for your family…. Eheh, you’re hilarious. You poisoned your husband, and he found out about it. He never gathered enough evidence of your crime, but based on what he did to you, it’s obvious that he knew that you were trying to kill him. If it weren’t for your impatience, you would know that your old man was actually really good to you.
“But now, his children and he want you dead. You’re too good at this, which is why they couldn’t kill you. When you came for the banquet, I met with your husband. Would you like to guess what he told me?”
Xie Qingyan’s eyes looked mischievous, and she was making a face that said, ‘I’m about to kill you, are you afraid now?’ As for Di Jingxuan, he was looking at his wife with a loving look.
It has been decades since he has seen the mischievous look on his wife’s face, but he still hasn’t gotten bored of it.
Hua Zi had a bad feeling about it, and she continued shivering.
As she thought about the times when she was training while Xie Qingyan had already hooked up with her husband, she felt chills running down her spine.
This feeling was similar to when she realized how her spouse had become allies with someone trying to kill her. She felt anger, dissatisfaction, and fear.
Xie Qingyan didn’t think that Hua Zi would say anything, which was why she continued, “He told me that he will be bringing another ‘you’ back into the household. As for you, this is the end of it.”
Hua Zi’s pupils shrank.
After being the wife of a rich man for the past 20 years, Hua Zi was no longer considered a professional killer. She even lost the basic skills of protecting herself.
Therefore, she took this job with the hopes of earning more money, and on the other hand, she also thought that Xie Qingyan had been used to seeing her at events like these and wouldn’t suspect her. All she had to do was waste some time and allow the others to do the job. She would have ways to kill Xie Qingyan on her own and leave.
