Chapter 130: Threat

Shangguan Ning was surprised for a moment when she heard the voice on the other side of the phone. She asked hesitantly, “Ji Lili?”

“Of course, it is me! Surprised?” Ji Lili said viciously, “You must come tonight! I have planned a special surprise, just for you.”

If Shangguan Ning remembered right, Ji Lili’s birthday was still a few months away. What was she hosting a birthday party for, on this date?”

Sensing Shanggan Ning’s hesitation, Ji Lili understood that very soon all her planning was going to come to naught because Shangguan Ning was surely never going to fall for her story.

“Then I think it would be best if I wish you a very happy birthday over the phone because I don’t think that I will not be able to join in, in your celebrations.”

Ji Lili seemed to have known that she would have said that, so she sneered and said, “It is going to be a fun night tonight and I am so excited to get started with it! You have got to make it because tonight, you are going to be the showstopper.”

Shangguan Ning had no idea where her confidence came from. She still rejected the offer, and said, “It is definitely exciting when the daughter of the Mayor has two birthdays a year. Don’t worry, I won’t be stealing your show tonight, because you are too ugly and that will make me look pretty, so no one would be interested in looking at you anymore.”

“Shangguan Ning, you are such a bitch! The ugly one is you!”

Ji Lili was still fuming and swearing over the phone, while Shangguan Ning calmly just went ahead and disconnected the call.

She didn’t mean to be Ji Lili’s enemy, but because of Shangguan Rouxue’s trick, their relationship had become bad to worse.

Ji Lili kept asking for trouble. Shangguan Ning was in two minds. She felt like she should have gone to the party tonight, after all. She would’ve gone there and exposed Shangguan Rouxue’s true colours to all those present.

She was still lost in thought, when her phone beeped. A message had been received. It was from Ji Lili. It read –’If you are not here tonight, then your cousin Huang Xinyi’s reputation will be ruined. I believe that as her cousin, you won’t allow that to happen, will you?

Shangguan Ning’s heart skipped a bit after she read the text.

Why and how was her cousin involved?

Didn’t Uncle say that she was abroad for studies? Or did she not go there at all?!

Shangguan Ning didn’t think for too long. Instead, she called Ji Lili immediately.

The call wasn’t answered for a long time. Apparently, Ji Lili was trying to play games with her.

Shangguan Ning didn’t care about Ji Lili’s juvenile behaviour. She would have been pissed off by Shangguan Rouxue and Ji Lili a long time ago, if she would’ve have taken their actions seriously

“Yeah, who is it?”

Shangguan Ning knew that she was just pretending, so she said coldly, “Ji Lili, you better tell me straight out. What is it with my cousin?”

“Yeah? What did you say? I couldn’t hear you clearly, say it again!”

Shangguan Ning was worried about Huang Xinyi so she put up with Ji Lili’s nonsense. Hearing that Ji Lili didn’t want to speak like a mature individual, she also calmed down and changed her pitch accordingly, “Ji Lili, do you want to know what your good friend Shangguan Rouxue says about you to outsiders? Do you know why you don’t have any friends apart from her? Have you noticed that ever since you got to know her, every other friend that you have had, has been drifting further and further away from you? Are you naïve or just silly that you can’t see all of this?”

“Shangguan Ning, you are talking bullshit!”

“You don’t need to shout. Save some efforts and ask anyone around you, then you will find the answer you’re looking for. Oh yes, didn’t you have a friend called Xiaomin. She might be able to tell you a little bit more. I suggest you try asking her. Or you can ask Luo Ying. She is an honest person too and she can tell you the truth as well.”

“I will be there tonight. Text me your address. Just remember one thing, if anything happens to my cousin before I arrive, you will be responsible for the consequences that you will suffer. You have my word. Family Ji and Mayor Ji are outstanding and have a great reputation but you are the only black sheep in their family. Anyway, lets see how proficient is the Public Relations Department at Family Ji, if they were to know that the headline of tomorrow’s newspaper were to read – Mayor Ji’s daughter drives over and kills innocent pedestrians, with her car.”

“How dare you, Shangguan Ning! I will kill you!”

“Sigh, you get angry very easily. I’ve only said two sentences.I have recorded everything you have said so remember that if something goes wrong, we can both go to the police station and enjoy a cup of tea there. I hope that you can still talk in a similar fashion, at the police station. Let’s see how long do they keep you in for.”

Ji Lili was appalled by Shangguan Ning’s attitude, on the other side of the phone. She had never expected that Shangguan Ning would ever say anything like that. Shanguan Ning was someone who was bullied most easily and she would not have responded, no matter how much they instigated or insulted her. She was so silently boring that she was not worth fighting with.

And now, she even dared to threaten her?!

Ji Lili felt like she was making a fool of herself while Shangguan Ning was in total control of the situation.

How could Shangguan Ning have changed so much. She was not like this at all.

Ji Lili had always claimed to be a “princess” and she did live a life like one but as of this moment, she felt that Shangguan Ning was the queen, no less.

Sure, she had been dominating and threatening Shangguan Ning with Huang Xinyin, but things seemed to have changed. Strangely, she was the one who felt threatened now.

She could not handle the fact that the tables had turned.

Ji Lili threw her cell-phone onto the ground, smashing its screen. She did not want to hear a word of what Shangguan Ning had to say.

She wasn’t sure whom had Shangguan Ning latched herself to. Now she not only had a convoy of cars at her beck and call, but somehow she had also got the conviction to say what she wanted. Well, Ji Lili was definitely not going to stand and watch Ning take centrestage. After tonight, Ji Lili was going to trample over Shangguan Ning’s newly gained confidence.

She didn’t feel better until she had vented some of her rage by smashing some vases.

The servant who had been at her service at Family Ji for many years, instantly swept the ground clean off any shards of glass and also gave her a new phone.

Ji Lili took the mobile and grudgingly sent Shangguan Ning a text,stating her address and the time of the party.

Shangguan Ning had to come to the party tonight, otherwise all of Ji Lili’s preparations were going to be in vain.

It was a good thing Shangguan Ning’s cousin, Huang Xinyi, was easier to fool. It didn’t take much convincing to get her to come to the party.

There would be a wonderful show tonight!

Shangguan Ning heard a huge bang while speaking with Ji Lili and she knew that Ji Lili had smashed her cell phone again.

She calmly texted Jing Yichen that she was going to attend Ji Lili’s banquet. Then she drove home, ate something and waited for Ji Lili’s text.

She had wanted to ask Uncle if her cousin had come back home, butt after giving it much thought,she didn’t end up making that call.

Ji Lili had no axe to grind, against Huang Xinyi. She was just using her as bait, in order to make Shangguan Ning attend her birthday banquet, so as to make her lose face somehow.

A short while later, Shangguan Ning received the time and venue of the party from an unknown number – Eight o’clock tonight, at The Royal Crown.

Shangguan Ning’s wasn’t pleased when she saw this address.

This was the most luxurious hotel in A City and she had had two very bad experiences, on both her visits there. She did not want to go for the party tonight, but she knew that she had no choice.
