Chapter 478 - 138 Negotiating with a Tiger for Its Skin - Counterattack from a Desperate Position_8
Yun Ya couldn’t help but laugh as she watched; the storyline couldn’t be more familiar.
The original model for Kang Jinse appeared, and that heartless man resembled Yun Shen strikingly. And wasn’t that fragile little white lotus none other than Kang Jinxian?
Yun Ya suspected that the scriptwriter must be well-acquainted with the love triangle between the three of them. The plot seemed tailor-made for them—every line and every glance held a sense of déjà vu.
One couldn’t help but remark that art indeed imitates life.
She glanced at Kang Jinse and discovered she was watching with great interest, her expression calm, her eyes slightly mocking.
What was she thinking about as she watched?
"This mistress is really quite pitiful, tsk tsk. But she also deserves it, doesn’t she? This is what you call ’a villain will meet a worse villain,’ and to think this mistress is so foolish. It’s only now that she’s found out about their affair; no wonder she’s been played for a fool."
Kang Jinse curved her lips into a smile: "Indeed, so foolish."
"Aunt Jiang, if you were this woman, what would you do?" Yun Ya asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kang Jinse paused from eating her seeds, glanced at the girl across from her, and smiled slyly: "Calmly accept it, extract the wealth, and throw the scumbag and cheap woman out, penniless."
Yun Ya furrowed her brows, "Doesn’t seem tragic enough though."
"Death would be too easy on them; only by living can they endure the utmost torture." Her tone was quite sinister.
Yun Ya’s gaze flickered, "It seems Aunt Jiang has some experience. When pushed to extremes, one often unleashes hidden potential. I’m really looking forward to Aunt Jiang’s desperate counterattack."
Kang Jinse looked into those eyes, dark and profound as an ancient well, making her heart skip a beat.
This girl was a vicious wolf in sheep’s clothing. Kang Jinse hesitated for a moment but decided to negotiate with the tiger nevertheless.
What of the tiger? She wouldn’t be snatching food from its mouth. Without touching its interests and with a common goal, they would only achieve their ends more quickly.
Stimulated by recent events, Kang Jinse had become much smarter, at the very least, her vision wasn’t so narrow anymore.
"A desperate counterattack also requires a good ally," Kang Jinse said, looking directly at Yun Ya.
Yun Ya laughed mockingly, "To be my ally, you’re not yet qualified." With that, she got up and left the living room.
Kang Jinse clenched her fist in secret, not qualified? I’ll show you whether I am qualified or not.
——
Kang Jinse had indeed become much smarter; she knew not to fixate on just one person and to find an ally.
Unfortunately, Kang Jinse was just one of her pawns on the chessboard, and more specifically, a disposable foot soldier. Once her mission was complete, she was meant to die.
From the start, this person had been on her hit list.
Kang Jinse had guessed the beginning, but not the end.
Negotiating with a tiger has a painful price, especially when it’s a starving tiger, already eyeing its prey.
Returning to her room, Yun Ya opened her computer, intending to video call Miaomiao. Then, remembering it was still early morning there, around three or four, with Miaomiao likely asleep, she smiled and shut the computer down again.
The phone had died, so Yun Ya charged it, feeling a bit tired, and laid down to sleep for a while on the bed.
Waking up, it was already past one in the afternoon. Yun Ya felt hungry and was about to get up to find something to eat when she thought that Brother Yan might be trying to reach her, so she turned on her phone.
As soon as she powered it on, an overseas call came through.
Yun Ya’s heart gave a violent thump, filled with an ominous premonition.
She answered the call without speaking, and the person on the other end started talking rapidly in English, their tone urgent.
Yun Ya abruptly stood up, her complexion pale, her form nearly swaying unsteadily.
