“What?” Su Yue observed the look of anger on Zhang Lihong’s face. “Why… Why did she go to jail?”
She asked… if her family was happy?
Her family? Who was she referring to?
What did she mean?
Her heart was beating wildly and she felt that the truth was going to be revealed soon. She felt uneasy and she suddenly didn’t want to know the answer anymore.
Zhang Lihong saw the look of confusion on her face and drew closer to her. She gritted her teeth and glared at her. “Our Xiaojing is the same age as you. Why do you get treated like a princess but our Xiaojing has to suffer so much? Why?”
Her tone was dripping with jealousy and hatred, as well as indignance.
It baffled Su Yue. Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from outside the door. “Because she was the one who brought it upon herself. Who else is to blame?”
A slender figure walked into the washroom and Su Yue turned to look at her. “Third sister-in-law.”
She felt much more at ease with Wen Xuxu around.
She turned around and walked towards Xuxu. She grabbed her arm and asked, “Third sister-in-law, what’s all this about? What does Bai Jing’s mother mean?”
Why did she say that Bai Jing was in jail? Why did she say that it was her fault?
Zhang Lihong heard Xuxu’s words and smirked. “Yes. Then why did the princess of your family ask about our Xiaojing? She wants to know if she’s being tortured enough?”
She gritted her teeth. Every word of hers was filled with hatred.
“What exactly is going on?” Su Yue shook Xuxu’s arm.
What happened the few years she was in Country M?
What exactly did Bai Jing do?
By the looks of it, it was either her third sister-in-law or third brother who sent her to jail.
“Miss Su, forget it. I know our Xiaojing had it coming. So stop showing concern for her.” Zhang Lihong’s cold gaze swept over her.
Then she turned and exited the washroom.
Her high heels knocked against the floor, every step of hers seemed to trudge on Su Yue’s heart. It made her uneasy and anxious.
Zhang Lihong finally disappeared from their view. Su Yue retracted her gaze and asked Xuxu, “Third sister-in-law, what exactly happened?”
Wen Xuxu gave Su Yue a solemn look.
The look she gave her made Su Yue even more anxious. “Third sister-in-law, tell me.”
“Aish!” Xuxu sighed helplessly. Then she grabbed Su Yue’s shoulders and said to her in a serious tone, “Yueyue, that woman who loved your brother and wanted you dead, she wasn’t a stranger.”
It stunned Su Yue. She fell backwards and leaned against the wall.
‘Have you found out the reason behind the car crash? Who was behind it?’
‘Someone who loves your third brother. You do know that many women are pining after your third brother…’
‘She knew that we dote on you the most, so she wanted to finish you off to take revenge on us…’
She recalled the words that Xuxu told her back then when she had inquired about the car accident.
It was a long while before she could finally get words out of her mouth. She stared at Xuxu and was still apparently stunned. “That woman is… Bai Jing?”
She had already confirmed it in her heart, but she still wanted to hear Xuxu’s answer.
She didn’t want to—she couldn’t—accept it.
