My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife - Chapter 271

“So, are you saying that it’s from me?”

“Who else if it’s not you?” He replied, refusing to back down this time.

Little Snow was looking back and forth from his mother to his father as the two ended up staring at each other.

“Mama? Dada?”

Upon hearing the child, Lu Mello ended up sighing in defeat. He was the first one who broke from their staring contest. He didn’t want their son to see a scene where his parents are arguing. It would only make matters worse. He turned to the boy who was looking up at them before he reached out to pick him up from the floor and carry him in his arms. “Xiao Xue, you shouldn’t do that to your nanny. That’s not good. Look at what happened, she ended up being scolded by your mother. You should apologize.”

The boy looked at Ai Lun in guilt before he lowered his head once again, “I’m sorry, nanny Ai…”

“It’s okay…” It was already surprising enough to see a rich man’s boy to apologize to someone lower than them. She has been working in the household for a few days already and she had always thought of Little Snow as a spoiled kid. His parents were always away so she wasn’t really able to know them well until today.

“Now that this matter is settled, we should have our dinner. You should join us. Have dinner here before you head home.”

“Yes! Nanny Ai can have half of cupcake!” Little Snow exclaimed with a grin. Since he rarely shares his food, it was surprising enough for them to see that he was willing to share one with someone else. It must be his way of apologizing for causing trouble to his nanny.

…

Later that night while everyone was asleep, Shi Enxi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

“Argh… I-it hurts…” She reached out and grabbed Lu Mello’s arm, trying to wake him up. “M-Mello…”

Her husband remained still, not waking up from her cries of pain.

Shi Enxi clenched her fists tightly as she forced herself to sit down but as she did, she felt something wet which made her panic. She removed the blanket from her and the next thing she saw made her face turn pale. There was blood… lots of blood.

“No… no…” Tears unconsciously streamed down her cheeks. This time, she used her strength to wake Lu Mello, “M-Mello… wake up! Wake up! Mello!”

“S-someone! HELP!!! HELP!!!” She screamed at the top of her lungs but no one came to help her. Even her husband remained still, his eyes shut tight as if he was deep into the dream world.

The moment she tried to get out of the bed, she felt the pain disappear, and instead, everything around her disappeared. This time, she was standing in the middle of a dark place. She was wearing a white dress with blood on the lower part of it.

What’s happening? Was she dreaming?

“Hello?” She began walking while looking around.

Yes, she must be dreaming. That was the only explainable reason.

Just then, the scenery changed once again and this time, she was inside a small house. It was a familiar place. She was inside the living room, inside the house where Fan Xiao Yao and Huang Li once lived.

“If you want to have him, you will need to pass through me first! Over my dead body!”

When she heard the shout coming from a familiar voice, she rushed out of the living room only to see Fan Xiao Yao on the ground with Little Snow and Little Jade with her. Hana was standing in front of them with a dangerous look in her eyes.

Instead of panicking, Shi Enxi remained still after seeing the scene before her. This must be a dream, right? Or was this related to what happened back then? If that was the case, then everything should be fine. Huang Li came in time and was able to save Fan Xiao Yao and the kids.

“Mama…” Little Jade was looking at Fan Xiao Yao with his tearful gaze.

She turned to the child with a gentle look in her eyes, “Xiao Yu, can you bring your brother to your room? Don’t open the door until I say so, okay?”

The child nodded his head obediently before he huffed at the other woman, “Mama will beat you!” After that, he dragged Little Snow upstairs.

A slow clap was heard from Hana, “How touching.”

Fan Xiao Yao turned her gaze back to the woman in front of her, ready to take her on.

Hana took a pocket knife out and stared at it, “You could have an easy way out if you give me my son, you know. You don’t have to die just for that runt. You’re only courting death. I wonder how will Huang Li react once he comes home and sees his place covered in blood?”

Fan Xiao Yao bit her lower lip when she saw the knife. She didn’t think Hana was armed. Even if she was, she didn’t back down. She stood her ground. She was not going to allow her to hurt the kids.

“I’m a kind person you know. Out of the goodness of my heart, I will leave Shi Enxi’s son alive.” She took a step forward to which Fan Xiao Yao unconsciously took a step back just to avoid the knife that was pointing at her.

This time Shi Enxi took a step forward towards them. She reached out to Hana and tried to touch her but just as expected, she wasn’t able to touch her. Her hand only ended up passing through her.

“Hana, please… Don’t do this. We can talk about this. I can help you with whatever problem you have. If you need money, anything, I’m willing to give it to you just please don’t do this.”

“Talk? Aren’t you courting death? Allow me to give it to you!”

Shi Enxi continued to watch the scene unfold before her and at the same time, she was impatiently waiting for Huang Li to arrive.

The two women were fighting each other until Hana was able to get the upper hand. She was now on top of Fan Xiao Yao and was trying her best to push down the knife on the other woman’s c.h.e.s.t while she was fighting back and was resisting her.

Shit! Shit! Shit! How long should she wait for Huang Li to arrive? Even if Shi Enxi knew that it was just a dream, she wanted to help Fan Xiao Yao but at that moment, she was useless since she couldn’t touch any of them. She was like a ghost who can only watch the scene in front of her.

The next thing that happened shocked Shi Enxi. She watched as Hana successfully stabbed Fan Xiao Yao in her c.h.e.s.t.

No way… no way…

“NO!!!”
