Chapter 195 A Trade With Li Huiran
"You may want to hear this recording first."
The sound of He Xinyan and Ma Yuhao's voice was loud and clear inside the room. She had cut out the unnecessary parts, so the recording went straight to the point.
'What do you want to know?'
Li Huiran's face immediately paled when she heard the man's voice. She recognized it. . . That was Ma Yuhao!
'Everything! From when you first met Li Huiran to how Li Yuyan came to be to. . . just everything!'
Li Huiran's pale face seemed to lose even more color, so it was as white as a sheet of paper. She looked up at He Xinyan, who was smiling back at her.
He Xinyan! How did she find Ma Yuhao?! How did they know each other?! Why are they talking to each other? What are they talking about?!
Li Huiran lunged forward to try and snatch He Xinyan's phone, but she pulled it away.
"Be patient, Auntie Li. Let's finish listening to the recording first."
'Well, I first met Li Huiran at a bar. . .' The recording continued to play.
'She came over to the bar often and slept with me whenever Bai Jiawei couldn't be with her. . .'
He Xinyan pretended to be surprised when she heard this and she gasped, "Wow, Auntie Li!"
Li Huiran glared at her and tried to grab the phone again, but failed.
"Where did you get this?!"
"Sh. . ." He Xinyan put one finger up to her lips, "Let's finish it first. Be patient."
'In one of those nights, she got pregnant with Li Yuyan. . . my daughter. . .'
He Xinyan couldn't control herself, and she let out a giggle. Li Huiran looked like she wanted to kill He Xinyan as she glared at her.
The recording continued all the way to:
'What about the DNA test? Do you know about the DNA test when Li Huiran first entered the He mansion? How did she get past it?'
'She was very worried. She asked me about it too. . . All I know is in the end, she bribed the hospital that did the test, so it was. . . fake.'
'I know it was fake. Thank you for your honesty!'
He Xinyan cut off the recording there and closed her phone.
Li Huiran's eyes were scarily red as she glared at her, "What do you know?"
He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "Everything. . ."
Li Huiran lunged at her, but she was no match for He Xinyan. He Xinyan easily pushed Li Huiran onto the ground and there was a loud thump and a scream as Li Huiran hit the ground.
He Xinyan walked over to her and lifted her up by her shirt collar, "Li Huiran, are you scared?"
Li Huiran was shaking, and she was obviously scared. . . Scared would be an understatement! She was terrified! Where did He Xinyan get this recording? How did she know about this?!
"What do you want, He Xinyan?!"
He Xinyan grinned and let go of Li Huiran, "I want to make a trade with you. Your secret about Li Yuyan can stay a secret forever. I am a very trustworthy person, and I won't reveal your secret. However, you need to tell me another secret in return."
Li Huiran rolled her eyes, "You think I trust you?"
She pushed herself off of the ground so she was sitting on the ground. However, the next second, He Xinyan walked over and pulled her up by the collar again.
"Ah!" Li Huiran closed her eyes as she felt the pain come from where He Xinyan was grabbing onto.
"Do you have a choice?" He Xinyan asked with a smile, but her eyes weren't smiling.
"You can make this deal with me, and your secret about Li Yuyan stays a secret. Bai Jiawei won't know about it. Or, you can choose not to make this deal, and Bai Jiawei will know about it now. Once he does, I'm afraid that you and your daughter's lives are ruined. If you do make the deal, you and your daughter can still stay in the upper class and live your lives."
He Xinyan tried to stay calm as she lied without even blinking.
Li Huiran stared at her for several seconds before muttering, "Let go of me!"
He Xinyan let go of her collar and stood up straight, "Hurry up! This deal doesn't last long."
Li Huiran pressed her lips together as she looked towards the door, wondering when Bai Jiawei would be back. Li Yuyan had returned home a while ago, but she left again a few minutes before He Xinyan went into the master bedroom.
"You don't want to wait. If dad comes back and overhears, you will be screwed," He Xinyan said.
Li Huiran glared at her and after several seconds, she finally said, "How can I trust you?"
"After you tell me your part of the deal, I will delete the recording from my phone. I will also delete my second copy from my computer. You can watch me do it."
"How can I know that you don't have more copies?"
He Xinyan smiled, "I promise you that these are the only two copies I have."
"Really?"
He Xinyan put on a straight face, "Yes, I promise. You can search my computer or phone for more if you would like. However, you will have to hurry up."
He Xinyan sounded so genuine it was almost like she was helping Li Huiran.
Li Huiran clenched her fist together and gulped. Right now, she only had one choice, and it was to agree to He Xinyan. Although she still didn't trust He Xinyan, this was her only chance.
Her only option was to trust He Xinyan and take the deal. Or else, she would be screwed! She knew that Bai Jiawei would definitely be furious if he knew about this, and not only her. . . Her daughter, Yuyan would also be screwed!
Li Huiran took a deep breath and glared at He Xinyan. This was all her fault! Why couldn't she die like her dead mother?!
"What is your trade?!"
He Xinyan smiled happily and crossed her arms together, "I will delete all my copies of the recording after you tell me about my mother's death."
"What?!" Li Huiran's eyes widened as she fell backwards.
He Xinyan's smile disappeared and she walked over to Li Huiran, "Tell me the truth. How did my mother die? It wasn't an accident, right?"
"He Xinyan, what are you talking about?! Of course it was an accident!" Li Huiran's eyes darted around the room nervously, and it landed on the door. For a second, she thought about running, but where would she run to?! And, if she ran, He Xinyan could just go find Bai Jiawei and reveal her secret.
She was stuck! Li Huiran dug her nails deep into her skin in frustration.
"You know what I am talking about, Li Huiran. Tell me the truth. . . If you don't, I will also show the recording to my dad."
Li Huiran glared at her, "What truth?! I really don't know what you are talking about!"
If she said it, she would be screwed! She can't let He Xinyan know! No way!
He Xinyan chuckled, "I guess I'll have to show this recording to dad. He should be almost home by now! Perfect timing!"
He Xinyan clapped her hands together excitedly and turned around. As she did so, Li Huiran lunged forward to try and attack He Xinyan from behind, but at this moment, He Xinyan turned around again.
She used the hand not holding the phone to grab onto Li Huiran's hand, and with the other hand that was holding her phone, she slapped Li Huiran aggressively across the face.
"Ah!" Li Huiran fell back down sideways because of the slap, and her face immediately turned red. It was even worse because the phone was hard, and Li Huiran felt like it hit her teeth.
"He Xinyan!" She screamed, not very clearly because it hurt when she spoke.
"Li Huiran, don't try to play tricks on me! It doesn't work." It felt like the room dropped a few degrees because of He Xinyan's cold expression and tone, and Li Huiran moved back a little on the floor.
"You are over with, Li Huiran! Once my dad hears this recording, you and your lovely daughter can pack your bags and get out of my house! If you are lucky, maybe you can find a trash can to live in for the rest of your lives. After all, that is where you belong to."
"You -" Li Huiran glared at her but backed down again from He Xinyan's dangerous expression.
He Xinyan scoffed and turned around to leave again. Maybe she was just overthinking, but she felt like she was becoming more and more like Gu Yechen! Ahh. . . He indeed was a very bad (good) influence!
Her hand was on the door handle already when Li Huiran suddenly screamed.
"Wait! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Li Huiran couldn't let Bai Jiawei hear the recording! No way! She would be screwed! Bai Jiawei might even kill her if he knew about this!
As of now, she had to protect herself and Li Yuyan! Whatever! He Xinyan could know about how her mom died. He Yuxin was dead anyway! It didn't matter now.
He Xinyan stopped and turned around, "I am not a patient person. Hurry up and tell me."
Li Huiran gulped and pushed herself up from the ground, "Your mom. . . She didn't die by accident or because she was too sick. She died because. . . because, your dad. . . your dad and I. . . killed her!"
