Cindy was given such a simple choice.
Either help her friend or fight together with her against this pretty stranger.
Although the question was very easy to answer and it was no brainer that she should help her best friend to go through this situation, however, it was as if there was invisible hands that crawled out of the ground and took her by her ankles and a grim reaper that was looking down on her with a big silver scythe in his hand by her neck.
The woman's pair of eyes were shaped into a cat-like shape and just like a cat staring at her lazily, but sharply as if it saw any potential danger were to approach it, sharp claws able to tear apart a person's skin and bleed them would definitely come out.
Thankfully, Cindy was never a cat person so she chose a very obvious answer.
While there was no response to the question, Gu Jiao expected that her best friend's answer would be the same as what was inside her mind.
Cindy will help her!
Sadly, the reality proved to be such a cruel thing as no matter if a minute had passed or an hour had gone by, Cindy didn't move a step forward and push Ran Xueyi off her. She didn't even make a move to fight her back and help her at all.
The yellow-orange light inside the room shined brightly and enveloped the whole room in a warm light.

It looked extremely normal and natural that even Cindy felt the need to sit.
Of course, under the compulsion of Ran Xueyi's cold aura, Cindy knew that the other wasn't simply trying to tell her to take a seat; she was telling her to sit and behave inside the room.
And so, behave is what she did.
After taking care of the other person, Ran Xueyi finally focused all of her attention on her only target— Gu Jiao.
With her eyes wide and filled with disbelief, shock, and uncontrolled anger for being betrayed by her best friend, Gu Jiao was seething with undescribable rage. Didn't they promise to stand and fight together no matter how bad and good the situation was? Weren't they best friends for life?
"Uhmph! krghh!"
Ran Xueyi settled her gaze on Gu Jiao's still bleeding nose. One might think that it would be dangerous to leave it alone and find a way to stop it, but what she did next would definitely become a nightmare that Gu Jiao will never get to erase from her life.
Dragging the other person with her hands still pulling her hair and covering her mouth, Ran Xueyi kicked the door to the bathroom open and saw a bathtub filled with water. Colorful petals from red, pink, and white, scattered in the water. Without a doubt, the club has prepared this for the guests who wanted to play wildly during the night.
Gu Jiao stumbled down all the way and looked fearless until she saw the water becoming closer and closer to her.
Like a fish that jumped out of the water, she flailed and protested, but against the hand that held the back of her head, she had no way out of this.
A voice then said above her head, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you... I'm not that heartless and you still have to pay for all the things that you did in the past to the lives you ruined."
Gu Jiao was in tears and shook her head. Even if the other said she wouldn't kill her, who would believe it in this situation?
Ran Xueyi saw that she didn't seem to believe her and clicked her tongue: "Tsk, you don't believe me?"
Gu Jiao quickly shook her head.
Then, as if she was afraid that Ran Xueyi would be displeased by her response, she nodded her head and lied that she believed her.
Ran Xueyi lowered her gaze and sighed, "Don't be afraid... I'm just trying to teach you a lesson here. I'm very professional and tried this to other people."
Gu Jiao was once again shocked by her revelation. What does she mean by that?
Ran Xueyi didn't tell her the answer to that question and continued to say, "But that was five years ago. So, I might need time to practice."
"What do you say? Will you become my practice partner?"
A smile dangled on her lips as though she never thought of anything of the meaning of her words.

Blinking her eyes innocently, Ran Xueyi shook the girl in her arms and let the hand covering the other person's mouth down to reach for the faucet and turned out to water before pointing the head of the faucet at Gu Jiao's face.
"Ah!"
Gu Jiao screamed, surprised and scared shitless at the cold water that slapped into her face.
"Why the hell are you doing this?!" She yelled in anger. "Ran Xueyi, don't think that after this I won't come after you! The world will find out that you're not the kind of person you show to the camera, but an evil and heartless person capable of murder!"
Feeling the adrenaline rushing through her blood as she reclaimed her freedom, Gu Jiao continued to scream whilst in pain and feeling the water slapping her face. "Wait for me to tear you into pieces! I will show the world your true color. Do you think you can escape when I report you to the police after you beat me up? I will make sure you will rot in prison and have all the criminals inside it f*ck you until you kill yourself!"
The club has several surveillance cameras, she could use it against Ran Xueyi and there were also bruises on her face. To Gu Jiao, this altercation was not all losses. She will make Ran Xueyi pay soon after!
Unfortunately, Ran Xueyi was unperturbed by her words. On the contrary, her eyes became even more dull and looked bored as she continued to listen to the other shout.
"Is that so?"
Following her screams, Ran Xueyi suddenly nodded her head causally, one didn't know if she listened in her heart. "You're free to do that, Gu Jiao..."
Not seeing her flustered, fearful, or even slightly anxious, Gu Jiao had a bad premonition.
"But you know... You're not the first person to say those words to me." Ran Xueyi showed a cruel smile. "And the person who might end up in prison between the two of us... Isn't it you?"
