Immediately, what Bai Ran did not want to hear even more entered her ears. “There’s only one thing. Deny it with all your might! Don’t admit what that man said to you on the phone. You have to say that he went to Hu Wan’s place and didn’t want to come to you. You have to make that Madam Bai believe absolutely that Chen Chen is lying, understand?”
Old Wu and the others quickly said, “Okay, okay. You just want to create a misunderstanding, right?”
Yu Xuan laughed disdainfully and said, “You’re very smart. That’s right.”
There were some details about the kidnapping. Bai Ran could no longer listen.
She looked discouraged. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her heart, making her freeze on the spot.
Chen Chen knew that she was unwilling to accept it, but he still said, “The evidence is here. I know you’re uncomfortable, but I still have to speak up for myself!”
Chen Chen took a deep breath and continued, “It’s not that I haven’t suspected her for so long, but because of you and because I don’t have evidence, I didn’t dare to think too much about it. Now that the truth is in front of me, I hope you won’t side with her anymore. She’s the one who has been stirring up trouble between us!”
Bai Ran looked like she was in pain. She lowered her head and waved her hand. “Stop talking.”
Chen Chen was filled with grievance. Although he was a man, did a man have to keep breaking his teeth and swallowing them?
Ignoring Bai Ran’s words, Chen Chen continued to vent his grievance. “I accepted all the strange crimes in the past. You’ve always trusted her so much. Even just now, if I hadn’t taken out the recording, you would still be subconsciously speaking up for her. Under such circumstances, do you think I have a chance of winning?”
Bai Ran’s heart was in a mess. It was not that she did not know that these things might have been done by Yu Xuan. She had just been brainwashed for too long.
Yu Xuan had always been very good to her. She was so good that there was nothing to nitpick about. She was so good that she gave up everything to make her feel that as long as she did anything that let Yu Xuan down, and as long as she questioned Yu Xuan, it would be blasphemy to others’ feelings.
She would never forget how Yu Xuan had helped her overseas and allowed her to gain a foothold in the advertising industry from a person with no background. When she was being persecuted by kidnapping and rape, how Yu Xuan had saved her from fire and water, including later on at Heavenly Lake, how Yu Xuan had cried loudly on the mountain and searched for her with tears in her eyes, how she had carried her down the mountain alone, and how she had stood up for her in the company later on. She had learned to cook for her and changed from a young lady who had no ability to cook to even reaching the level of a top chef.
Yu Xuan was really too good to her. It could be said that she was devoted to her. She had no choice but to repay her wholeheartedly.
On the other hand, Chen Chen had always neglected her for Hu Wan. How could she trust him?!
Bai Ran did not answer him. Instead, she muttered, “No, Ah Xuan won’t. She’s so good to me. She won’t do anything to let me down.”
When Chen Chen saw that she still had this reaction, he was furious. “I don’t deny that she treats you well, but is that sincere? That’s moral kidnapping! Shouldn’t friends respect each other? But she doesn’t. She limits your freedom and controls your actions just because she’s good to you. She even has to control who you interact with more. I’m embarrassed to expose her. She’s simply sick!”
Hearing this, Bai Ran subconsciously became angry, feeling that Chen Chen should not have said that about Yu Xuan.
However, when she saw Chen Chen’s face, she felt a little sorry.
If he had not been wronged, how could she and Chen Chen have reached this stage?
Furthermore, Chen Chen’s words were not unreasonable. With Yu Xuan, she always felt a little suffocated.
Yu Xuan was indeed very good to her, but she was really too possessive. She did not dare to do anything. She was like a little bird that had been kept in a cage. Were true friends supposed to be like this?
“But, but why did Ah Xuan do this?” Bai Ran still subconsciously absolved.
This sentence touched Chen Chen’s reverse scale. He went forward and said, “Why? Do you really not know? Is she really your friend? Have you never thought of this? Because we’re married, she refused to let me go. Do you really not understand what she wants?”
Bai Ran was stunned by this series of questions and did not know how to respond.
Could it be…
