"Well, well, well, it's been a while since I've seen you, you imbecile child. I almost forgot how you looked like. Was it fun playing cat and mouse with your parents?" Gu Wing walked down the stairs and leered at the two girls on the floor.
Ya Nuo tightened her arms around Nana, "Oh? There are enough roaches in here so we don't need extras. If mocking us is what you're here for, then leave."
"You! Heh, after leaving this house for a few years, you already forgot how to properly greet your mother?" Gu Wing kept her distance from them and crossed her arms.
"Pfft, which part of your appearance makes you think that I look like you in any way possible? Hmm? Eyes? Nose? Lips? I don't see any resemblance. Me calling you my parent is another impossibility."
"Haha, try having that sharp tongue in front of your future in laws, let's see if they'll cut it off or not. You're lucky I haven't done so yet."
"The only reason why you haven't laid a finger on me is because of that old man. He wants to gain a profit from selling me to some other rich family. If he didn't see such value in me, I would've died long ago. If you're going to humiliate or say any other words about this, then you can also leave because it's some useless information that I've been told since young." Ya Nuo tried to stall time as her eyes wandered around the room looking for tools that she could use.
"Hah, tsk, tsk, tsk, see what kind of idiot we brought up? Brat, of course I came here for a reason and humiliating you had been my pleasure. I'm telling you, you're nothing but a tool to boost our family wealth. Don't see yourself as someone that highly or important. The reason why you're born is because you can be used as some child birthing machine." Gu Wing enjoyed the feeling of being above everyone else so she continued her mockery.
"Hah, well, at least there is some use in me. I do have better genes and will give birth to prettier babies. What have you done for the old man? You only know how to crawl on his bed and satisfy his sexual desires, but it doesn't seem to be enough for him. He's still cheating with many celebrities and models who are way healthier and younger than that sagging body of yours. Maybe you should try to keep your husband tied to you first before caring about my business."
"You wench, do you know what position you're in right now to talk to me in such a disrespectful way? You don't even call him your father. What kind of unfilial child are you?"
"Thank you for your compliment. I was brought up by the two of you."
Gu Wing walked closer to them and Ya Nuo quickly repositioned herself blocking Nana from her. Ya Nuo stood up and stared at her fiercely.
Gu Wing laughed amusedly, "What? Afraid that I'll lay a hand on that girlfriend of yours? Don't worry, you two are highly valued by Qiu Rei, I won't do anything to anger him. As for you, Ya Nuo, how stupid can you be to come back on your own? Didn't you already leave this house and hid from us? Hah, for a guy that you fell in love for in high school, is he even worth your future?"
Ya Nuo smirked and looked at her sympathetically, "Gu Wing, I really pity you. A person like you would never understand anything beyond money. Ah, and expensive gifts. You will never understand how precious someone could be to you because you'll never truly give your heart to another without being suspicious of them. So what if I came back on my own? This was my choice and I don't regret it one bit."
Gu Wing squeezed a water bottle furiously and angrily threw it to the side of the room. She pinched Ya Nuo by her chin and pushed her against the wall, "Someone like you, who is about to serve some stranger in bed, has no right to say anything to me! You'll be lower than prostitutes and wish that you were better off dead! You hear me? You'll never get any happiness you want."
Nana quickly stood up and pushed Gu Wing away from Ya Nuo using all her strength.
"Hah, little girl, did you forget the blood loss you had from earlier? Without food, drinks, and proper medical care, what made you overestimate your ability to topple me? Huh?!!" She shoved Nana to the floor and looked down on her as if she was a roach that she could kill any time she wanted to.
When Nana fell on the floor, her hands landed on a few roaches. Even though she always hated these roaches, she grabbed a bunch of them in both hands and released them on Gu Wing's legs.
"Ah!!!! Get them off! Ahhhh!!! Off!! Get them off me!!!!!" Gu Wing shrieked in terror as roaches ran up her dress. Ya Nuo took this chance to get away from her grip and quickly went to see if Nana was hurt. Nana was better than fine after seeing Gu Wing lose her balance and roll on the floor like a lunatic.
Ya Nuo whispered, "Nana, quickly grab as many roaches as we can and throw them on her body, especially her face. Use this chance to run away." Nana nodded and grabbed handfuls of roaches and threw it on Gu Wing. While Gu Wing was busy with the hungry critters, Ya Nuo grabbed the medical kit on the floor and lead Nana out of the room. Ya Nuo made sure to close the door from behind when they left and continued running until they reached the exit. The pathway closed automatically after they got out.
Ya Nuo panted, "Nana, are you okay?"
Nana nodded as she let out a few coughs.
Ya Nuo looked around the room, "We can only rest for a minute or so. She's been out for too long so Yang Qiu Rei will probably come and look for her. Thank goodness they still have the habit of having a container with fresh water in every guest room. Here, drink."
While Nana was chugging down the glasses of water, Ya Nuo looked for ways to escape. The window in this room was bullet proof and designed so that nobody could climb in or out of the house. Just when she was thinking of escaping through the hallways, she heard hurried footsteps approaching from the other end of the hall.
"Baby, what's taking you so long?" Yang Qiu Rei called out with an impatient voice.
"Shit!!!"
