Chapter 669: Its all right, it worked fine
Gu Li started to chew the inside of her cheek again as her brows jumped and she sighed, " I never wanted to kill them, I just wanted them to hand their daughters to me such that I will be able to raise them, compared to Li Li, Pei Yuyan was more like me but I knew that Pei Yuyan and Li Li were a collective deal, Pei Yuyan wouldn\'t leave her sister behind which was why I went to ask their parents when they went hunting."
The more she spoke the more defensive she got. " I told them that I can do a better job than them in raising their kids but the two refused saying that they knew what kind of woman I was and did not want even my shadow next to their kids, the two were hunters and went deep in the forest many times, most probably they saw me dragging a corpse of a mer or maybe they simply doubted me but I understood that I could not let them go which was why I killed them and then left their bodies to be eaten by the wild animals."
" I never intended to kill Li Li\'s daddy but the latter was too noisy, he wouldn\'t shut up after I killed his wife, and he kept on saying that he was going to tell my sister and everyone while I tried to stop him from leaving, in the end, I kind of lost my head and stabbed him to, I wasn\'t going to be so cruel as to leave Li Li behind without a mother when she was special like this but I had no other choice, the mer did not listen to anything that I was saying, in the end, I had to kill him, I had no choice. I would not have killed him if he stayed put as I asked him to ——"
" So you just stabbed him and left him to die?"
" I couldn\'t let him break my persona! I had to do it, for us, Xiao Hua… you were still young, I couldn\'t let him send me to prison."
" You have to be kinder to me, I don\'t think you even need to drag me with you, you did it because you wanted to save yourself, it had nothing to do with me, and just because of your selfish actions you caused two girls to become orphans and you still have the guts to defend yourself? Was it even necessary for you to kill Pei Yuyan\'s parents to adopt her?"
As he spoke he narrowed his eyes and started to rethink what Gu Li said and then added with a sneer, " You were a bit sweet on Pei Yuyan\'s daddy as well, right? I have heard that he was nice and really naive, he was just like Li Li, dizzy and scatterbrained… he wouldn\'t leave his wife for even a second and wouldn\'t dare to say east if she said west, you thought he would make a wonderful second Tong Xuelo but he did not agree with you."
" He was married and he wanted to stay with his wife, he might be different from us but he was smart and knew you were dangerous which was why he refused you … and it did not sit right with you, right?"
Gu Li pursed her lips as she tugged at the hem of her shirt and sighed, " You are right, I did think that he was my Xuelo, he was so much like him but he proved me wrong when I asked him to come with me, there was no way my Xuelo would deny me, he will have accepted me no matter where he was but he did not and then I realised that he was just a bit similar to Xuelo and nothing else. A good
thing too or else I wouldn\'t have found out that you were the one who was reborn as Xuelo."
Xiao Hua by now understood that this woman was simply crazy with a \'C\' in front there was not a sane word that came out of her mouth. She continued to change her words every second like she was changing clothes and he could not help but shake his head at the awful luck he was born with, how come in all the taverns that were open in the city this woman had to get obsessed with him?
Now he could not help but question whether this woman killed this mer named Xuelo with whom she had an unhealthy obsession and then killed him too before making up another story for herself to make her look nice and pitiful, because she was lying so much that not even a word of hers could be taken as truth!
Gu Li shrugged casually and then said, "It\'s all right though, Pei Yuyan got a nice life and even though she had a fallout with Li Li who did not want to go with me because she saw me killing her parents… I think everything worked out just fine, I did not want Li Li to go with me anyways."
" Maybe in your mind everything is fine but you have destroyed more than one life!"
" I wouldn\'t have to if you were found by me earlier!"
