Chapter 248: I Want Your Life as Paymen

What did she just say? Was she out of her mind?

She wanted her to break up with Shen Yi and work for free at Blue Haven for a full year?! This woman was not only a delusional but an insane one! No one in their right mind would give up their other half so easily under such circumstances.

Just who did Mo Lihui think she was?

The smile on Lu Xinyi's face disappeared, with her eyes losing its glint and making it cold as ice. Mo Lihui didn't know what she was asking for. Breaking up with Shen Yi was one thing, but how sure Mo Lihui that she could have him if she won today?

Shen Yi might be devilishly handsome, but who said he was a good man? Mo Lihui would suffer if she dared to force herself at him.

This ignorant woman just got the nerve to openly try to steal her husband right under her nose! Lu Xinyi would rather kill herself if she lost Shen Yi than divorcing him.

Wait...

Mo Lihui said she had to break up with him, but did the idea about being married to him crossed on her bird-sized brain? Probably not. She must have thought that they were just a regular unmarried couple, seeing that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring for today while Shen Yi kept his.

Moreover, working without pay for a year? Lu Xinyi scoffed. Why would she waste her time on someone's kitchen when she, the topnotcher of Silver Leaf's entrance exam, had been looking forward to attending the prestigious academy?

Mo Lihui even dared to question her capability as a chef. Lu Xinyi believed that trying to prove that 'you are the best' is an insult. A queen didn't need to prove herself to a mere peasant.

It was better to let someone think one's an idiot than to wrongly open one's mouth and prove it. This was her sole reason why she let everyone think she's an idiot until it was time to prove they were wrong.

Lu Xinyi kept her silence and let everyone wait for her decision. Shen Yi found it disgusting that Mo Lihui wasn't ashamed for trying to break a good relationship between him and Lu Xinyi.

Why did women like her exist? Where were they getting such confidence and thick skin?

Shen Yi then remembered what his little brother told them when they were younger. Shen Xue told him that most people find guys getting jealous to be cute, but when women get jealous, it could be enough to start another world war.

Jealousy was really a deadly disease. It spread like a poison that could blind someone from any logical thoughts. The human brain was one of the most complex things in the universe. Was it any wonder that so many people never learned to use it?

Now that Lu Xinyi's face became so serious, he knew that Mo Lihui just signed her death warrant today. Some idiotic people just didn't know when to stop, and Mo Lihui was one of them.

The smirk on Mo Lihui's face had made it clear that she was confident that she could beat Lu Xinyi on this bet. She didn't believe that Lu Xinyi could win. She looked provocatively at Lu Xinyi as if saying 'you'll be dead meat'.

Lu Xinyi nodded. "Good. If you win, I will surely grant your wishes."

Ha! Even if she lost today, who said Shen Yi would let her go that easily?

"What about you, Miss Lu?" Mo Lihui looked at Lu Xinyi.

"I want your life as payment."

Lu Xinyi revealed her ruthless smile. She decided right then that she wouldn't hold back and beat Mo Lihui until she had enough. Forcing to reap Shen Yi from her side was the biggest mistake Mo Lihui did to her. Losing Shen Yi meant that she would lose a big part of herself!

She wanted to take her Shen Yi? Then Mo Lihui should be prepared to pay it with her life!

Want her life as a payment? Did Lu Xinyi mean she wanted her to kill herself if she lost today? Was she serious?

Mo Lihui tried to see if Lu Xinyi was bluffing, but there was none. She really wanted her dead?!

She was half-tempted to back out, but seeing the glint of sarcasm in Lu Xinyi's face had infuriated her. Why should she be worried? No one had managed to beat her before, and certainly, Lu Xinyi wouldn't be the one that would cause her downfall!

"No! I refuse!" Mo Liwei objected. His younger sister might be a spoiled brat, but losing her life because of this stupid bet wasn't worth it! Why were they even fighting over a man?

"You have such a good brother, Miss Mo. You should be grateful having someone like him on your side." She told Mo Lihui who was already seething in anger.

Lu Xinyi smiled sweetly to Mo Liwei. "Of course, I wouldn't take her life. It's just a metaphor. If your sister wants to take something important from me, then she should be ready to lose the same."

Shen Yi listened intently on their conversation. He didn't dare to join but kept silent. Whatever Lu Xinyi was planning, the Mo siblings would surely receive the punishment before this day ends.

"As for me, I really like tasting good food and delicacies, but my darling here is fond of collecting properties, adding them to his vast wealth. What am I trying to say is that I want your Blue Haven Restaurant. I really like the layout and the food that your restaurant offers so Miss Mo..." Lu Xinyi's lips curled into a smile.

"If you lose today, I'll be the new owner of Blue Haven; and you should work for me for a year without pay, scrubbing the dirty floors of my restaurants on your knees!"
