Chapter 261: She should have participated in the "white lotus" competition

"Please, Xia Lihua, help me....I'm sorry....I didn't mean for it to go this far."

Xia Lihua looked down at Yue Mei with a flinty gaze. She extended her hand and caressed Yue Mei tear streaked face. 

Xia Lihua's touch was unbelievably cold, causing goosebumps to rise on Yue Mei's arms.

Xia Lihua patted Yue Mei's cheek twice, the gesture deceptively gentle before delivering a sudden, hard slap. "You have the nerve to ask for my help after trying to harm me? You are seriously pathetic!"

Everyone was shocked. No one had seen the loud slap coming. 

Yue Mei recoiled, her hand flying to her stinging cheek. Anger warred on her face as she struggled to find her voice. "Xia Lihua, who knew you could be this vicious! I will—"

Seeing that Yue Mei was about to scratch Xia Lihua with her long nails Yang Lingyun grabbed her by the back of her neck and forcefully pushed her aside.
