" And then she told me that her husband has been coming late from the office for the past two months," Xiao An Na rolled her eyes as she finished telling the gossip to her neighbours. She was out to get some vegetables since her refrigerator was almost empty when she met with the two elderly women who lived in the same neighbourhood as her.
A few days ago she has heard a rumour about the woman living down the street being cheated on by her husband that was circulating the neighbourhood and she with her gossiping soul did not waste even a second in telling the others about this interesting news.
" What a fool," muttered another woman with a heavy sigh as she took the bag of lettuce and tomatoes that the vegetable vendor was handing her and cupped her cheek. " The signs were all there but she stupidly chose to ignore them, if a woman like her doesn't get cheated on then who will?"
"Exactly," chimed Xiao An Na as she paid twenty yuan to the shopkeeper for the vegetables that she has bought before she took the shopping bag and then turned to look at her friends with an extremely put-off expression as she said, " Naive woman like her are just asking for their men to cheat on them, if it was me, I would have kicked my husband out on the very night he dared to come late at home."
" I would have done that too!"
" Of course what else will a good man do staying out for an entire night."
Xiao An Na returned to her home after chatting for more than an hour with her friends, when she returned home she was surprised to find that the door to her house was open. She frowned as she pushed open the door and then stomped inside her house with a fierce look on her face. " Damn that man, he left the door open again, just wait…this time I will beat the crap out of him once he steps inside the house! How dare he leave the door open, does he not know how hard I work to earn this damned money that he spends every day without so much as caring about how it comes to our house. I work day and night yet the man can't even close the door properly, what if someone comes inside and steals?"
She kept muttering angrily as she headed straight to the kitchen where she put the shopping bag on the table and then went to the refrigerator to take the eggs and ham out, Xiao An Na only crouched for a minute when she felt a funny prickling at the back of her head as if someone was watching her. She stood up straight and then her hand reached for the butcher knife that was sitting on the corner of the kitchen aisle only then did she turn around and raised the knife in her hand as she said in false bravado, " Who is hiding there? I am telling you, I am armed…if you do not step out now then you don't know how fierce I can get!"
" Is that so?" A feminine voice came from behind her and Xiao An Na shrieked as she whirled around and looked at the woman who has barged in uninvited into her house, she looked at the black overcoat that was draped over the back of her shoulders such that a part of her shoulder and neck was revealed of the woman matched with a sleeveless top and black pants, even those boots were black as if she has just stepped out of a pond of tar.
But what stunned Xiao An Na was that she has seen the woman somewhere before…though she couldn't remember.
After a while, Xiao An Na snapped out of her daze and she looked at the woman who was trespassing in her house fiercely and said, " What are you doing and who are you? Get out before I call the police! You look from a good family how come you are trying to rob people like this?"
Song Yan snorted at Xiao An Na's words before she kicked off the refrigerator against which she was leaning and then walked close to the elderly woman who took a couple of steps back when she saw Song Yan coming close.
Song Yan leaned down such that she was looking into the eyes of Xiao An Na and spoke in a voice that was barely above a whisper, " And what are you going to tell them once I let them know that you are illegally detaining a man in the basement of the house behind yours?"
Xiao An Na's complexion turned pale as she looked at Song Yan in horror, she gulped before she looked away from Song Yan's gaze and said hurriedly, " I ha..have no idea what you are saying, what i..illegal detaining I ha..I haven't done anything like that, you..you get out or else I will scream——" as she spoke she tried to stab the knife into Song Yan's arm.
But Song Yan who has already expected this moved faster, she caught hold of Xiao An Na's wrist and twisted it such that it was unhinged. Xiao An Na screamed as her wrist snapped however with the silencing talisman sticking to the door, no one heard her painful scream on the other hand it was Song Yan who winched and then poked her pinky in her ear before rolling it lightly, " My, My you scream quite loudly, I did not expect a woman of your age to have this much energy clearly I was wrong."
" You b!tch!" Xiao An Na gasped as she held her wrist with her other hand, she glared at Song Yan with hatred. " Who the fck you are? How dare you hurt me? Do you even know what you are getting yourself into, if you don't want to lose your life then you better get out and act as if you don't know anything or else you will be losing more than your life, you have no idea how capable my boss is!"
