214 Threat

Seeing that Shen Xi had brought in another bucket of water, the remaining girl from the same class who had not gone out stepped forward to stop her. “Shen Xi, Jiang Xue is the heiress of the Jiang family. You’ll face a bleak future if you continue…”

Shen Xi eyed the door that Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng were banging on and retorted, “Will they stop bothering me if I let things go? Somehow, I doubt it.”

If she were honest with herself, Shen Xi felt that Jiang Xue had gotten off easy since she was only dousing her in water.

In her previous life, Jiang Xue had installed an air conditioner in the basement of the Jiang family’s house. She set the temperature as low as it could go every night and used a hose to spray her down. This lasted the whole night.

That bone-chilling cold was something that Shen Xi would never forget. Had it not been for her tough life, Shen Xi was sure she would have died from hypothermia.

The girl was speechless. Shen Xi was right. Even though she had never gone out of her way to provoke Jiang Xue and company, they would always target her for no rhyme or reason.

Shen Xi walked around the girl and dunked another bucket of water over the top of the cubicle, drenching Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng in the deluge. Their screams echoed throughout the changing room.

Zhao Yuan never thought Shen Xi had such a vicious streak to strike back at Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng without care. This was not the same Shen Xi she had known for so long. This was Shen Xi without any scruples.

After pouring a few buckets of water on them, Shen Xi finally let the wet Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng out.

Dishelved and soaked from head to toe, Jiang Xue shouted, “Shen Xi, my father will make sure you and your lowly parents pay for what you’ve done to me. Just wait! I won’t let you off!”

Liu Cheng parroted the gesture, echoing Jiang Xue’s threat.

Shen Xi did not take their words to heart. She merely took a few steps closer to Jiang Xue and whispered in her ear, “If you don’t want that video to be known by everyone, you’d best behave yourself.”

Despite her fury-addled mind, Jiang Xue still had enough of her faculties to process Shen Xi’s words. It caused her to freeze, staring at Shen Xi in disbelief.

What did she mean? Could the video of her gang rape have fallen into Shen Xi’s hands?

Impossible! Her father had said that the video had been destroyed a long time ago. Shen Xi had to be lying to her; she refused to believe otherwise.

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, “That’s impossible. You’re lying!”

“Try me!” As Shen Xi said this, she glared at Jiang Xue, venom dripping from her eyes. Despite her smile, Shen Xi’s words carried the weight of damnation. One wrong move, and Jiang Xue would be consigned to hell.

Just then, a student, who had left earlier to avoid the fight, returned with their class’s form teacher, Sun Ling. When she saw Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng’s bedraggled appearances, she asked, “What are you all doing? What is going on?”

Liu Cheng was about to spill the beans, only for Shen Xi to beat her to the punch.

“They were feeling hot after running laps around the field, so they tried to cool down by soaking themselves in water,” Shen Xi announced.

“Nonsense!” Liu Cheng growled through gritted teeth. “You trapped Jiang Xue and me in the toilet cubicle and poured water on us! Aren’t these the marks you left after beating us up?”

Shen Xi’s brows furrowed slightly as she responded, seemingly helpless, “Liu Cheng, how could you say that?”

Shen Xi looked at Jiang Xue, who remained silent. “Jiang Xue, you’ve always been fair and just. Tell me, weren’t you two having fun splashing yourselves with water?” Shen Xi softly asked.

Looking at the innocent and harmless smile on Shen Xi’s face, Jiang Xue only felt her hands and feet turn cold. Although she did not believe that Shen Xi had the video of her gang rape, there was always the question of ‘what if’?

Jiang Xue had only lived with the Jiang family for two months, but she was already used to her new, pampered lifestyle that came with her family’s abundant wealth. She enjoyed being fawn upon and admired. She reveled in her ability to dictate the lives of those lesser than her, wantonly suppressing any who opposed her. How could she risk losing it all over a gamble without guarantees?

She was so close. Just a little more, and she would have Xiang Cheng in her pocket, becoming the future madam of the Xiang Group.

When her thoughts arrived at this point, Jiang Xue clenched her fists and resolved to answer in the only way she could to maintain what she had. She could not take the risk. If Shen Xi had the video and made it public, her reputation would have been ruined. No family would be willing to have her marry into the family – not if she was already used goods. Her dreams of climbing the social ladder would vanish into thin air, let alone becoming part of the illustrious Xiang family.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling too embarrassed to answer? I took a video of what happened earlier, which might help if you’re afraid to let everyone know what you two were doing.” Shen Xi took two steps closer to Jiang Xue, her words poised at the latter’s throat threateningly.

“Go ahead,” Liu Cheng said, “Play the video and let Teacher Sun be the judge! Let’s see how you bullied us!”
