Chapter 131 A Smiling Woman



Li Caiyi couldn\'t help but feel self-conscious as she walked down the hospital\'s corridor. She felt uncomfortable by the people\'s stares and wanted to run to the nearest bathroom to change her clothes and erase her make-up. However, as Detective Tang said, her outfit was her armor today, so she suppressed the embarrassment she felt and hastened her steps instead.

When she arrived at Li Chunhua\'s room, the room was so quiet and still, as if nothing had changed at all since her visit yesterday.

"Xiaohua, I come again today," Li Caiyi said to her unconscious sister lying on the bed. Just like yesterday, her eyes were tightly shut, but her face was a lot more peaceful than yesterday.

After looking at her sister\'s condition for a while, Li Caiyi began her work. She brought out the hidden camera and voice recorder from the small bag and looked around for a suitable place to put them. It had to be somewhere inconspicuous but still at the right angle to capture the whole room.

After some thought, Li Caiyi decided to put the hidden voice recorder under the bed. She used a tape she had prepared beforehand and stuck it under the bed before turning it on. There was no guarantee Gu Xue wouldn\'t do something to her sister, so it was better to put it there just in case.

Next, the curtain rods piqued Li Caiyi\'s attention. She initially thought the artificial potted plants might be an excellent place to hide the camera but later changed her mind. That potted plant was easy to move, and she couldn\'t risk that.

Li Caiyi turned on the camera and used a chair as her leverage. She positioned the camera so it could capture the whole room. She also used tape to stabilize the camera\'s position before she was finally satisfied. Last, she sent a chat to Detective Tang to make sure everything was fine, to which he replied quickly.

[Detective Tang: You choose a good spot. Everything is clear from here].

[Li Caiyi: Good. I\'m counting on you].

She checked on her wristwatch and found that there were barely ten minutes left before the next patient check-up. Li Caiyi was already familiar with the check-up routine from how frequently she accompanied Li Chunhua at the hospital.

Now, she only had to wait for Gu Xue to show up.

Her heart began to beat nervously in her chest. Li Caiyi tapped it gently to soothe her nerves. She disliked conflicts and confrontations the most, but there were times when even she couldn\'t back down sometimes!

She didn\'t have to wait long because right at the expected time, the room\'s door was opened, revealing a pretty nurse with a malicious heart—Gu Xue.

It surprised Gu Xue to see a person sitting on the couch. That person was wearing a long-sleeve black top, with the arms part a bit wide at the end and translucent, giving a teasing view of the fair skin beneath it. She wore a knee-length red skirt with a ribbon on the side of the waist, making her waist look as slender as a fairy. Her appearance looked classier with the shiny red peep-toe heel, white pearl earrings, an expensive watch hidden under her sleeve, and a luxurious black bag on her lap.

Gu Xue had always followed the latest fashion, so she knew that every piece of clothing this woman wore came from a high-end brand. It was not affordable just by anyone.

The gorgeous outfit, accompanied by her long black hair that swept to the side and adorned with sparkly white clips, made her look like a successful and beautiful woman in her early 20s.

She only came to change the patient\'s IV bag, but seeing the classy woman in the room made sense of inferiority and jealousy arise inside Gu Xue\'s heart.

She swore she would climb up to this lady\'s level soon. In her opinion, her looks were much better, and she could rock that outfit better than this unknown woman could ever be!

\'But first, who is this woman? Is she one of the patient\'s family as well?\' Gu Xue wondered inwardly.

Even if she thought this woman was still below her in terms of beauty, she wouldn\'t mind having one more friend before she could climb up into the upper-class society.

"Ehm, excuse me? Are you the patient\'s family member?" Gu Xue asked her in a polite tone.

The perk of being a nurse was she could cozy up with the wealthy family without looking too eager. Usually, she would only need to talk about the patient\'s condition and be more attentive to catch their attention. People tend to lower their guard and act milder to those who took care of their cherished one after all. Once she got their attention, everything would be easy after that.

The woman didn\'t even bat an eye and only looked outside the window behind her, much to Gu Xue\'s dismay. The nurse thought she didn\'t hear her well, so she tried again with a louder voice.

"Euhm, excuse me? Are you the patient\'s family member?"

Still no response from that woman. She said nothing, rose from her seat and walked past the bed and Gu Xue as if she were only air.

As quick-minded as she was, Gu Xue immediately knew that this woman was deliberately ignoring her!

She had often met many wealthy people so far, from the polite but condescending one to the outright snobbish one. However, this was probably the first time she met someone who outrightly refused to acknowledge her existence!

Gu Xue was a woman with a lot of pride, and having a person who clearly had everything she hadn\'t ignored her was like a scratch to her dignity. She felt humiliated to the point her hands, which held the tray, were trembling. The most frustrating thing was she couldn\'t even say anything, even if she was angry.

Gu Xue detested those who looked down on her so much. She swore she would rise like a phoenix from ashes someday and trampled those who treated her like this!

A person like her shouldn\'t be wasting time doing menial jobs like this. She believed she was born to live in a higher place and destined to have a luxurious life that everyone envied. She would prove that to this rude woman too someday!

Click.

There was a clicking sound behind her, so Gu Xue automatically turned her head. The rude woman who ignored her earlier was standing with her back against the door, with her fingers on the door\'s lock. The woman\'s lips, covered with bloody-red lipstick, curved upward in an amused grin.

Sunlight passing through the window cast a shadow on that beautiful place, making that smile appear more attractive yet hiding danger in it. The smiling woman slowly walked over to Gu Xue, creating a distinct click-clacking sound of heels meeting with the floor. The sound somehow made an extra tension in the air.

It was clearly shining brightly outside, but Gu Xue had a chill run down her spine, feeling the sinister intent behind that smile.

"Shall we have a chat, nurse Gu Xue?"
