Chapter 80 - Intentional But Reasonable
Bai Lian panicked immediately. She had not expected that Jing Chen would really hear her. She immediately burst into tears and said aggrievedly, “Even if I did it intentionally, it’s reasonable, isn’t it? Jing Chen, how have you been treating me recently? Are you the same person as before?”
Bai Lian’s words did not make Jing Chen hesitate at all.
He stared at Bai Lian and gritted his teeth. “Why did you do that? Huh? Haven’t I given you enough?”
“Jing Chen, you know what I want. Besides, I only saw her this time and played a trick. How can you blame me for everything? If she really trusted you, why would she come here?”
Since the matter had been exposed, Bai Lian admitted it openly. She did not think that she was in the wrong.
“And I just held on to you. If she wants to make a fuss with you about such things, Jing Chen, she’s being unreasonable.”
Bai Lian bit her lips and said angrily, her tears flowing non-stop.
Jing Chen was really annoyed by such a Bai Lian.
She had a point.
But this was not the only thing that Jing Chen came here for.
“You promise you didn’t do anything else… behind my back?”
He had never been willing to use such suspicions on Bai Lian, but Su Wan’s words suddenly wrapped around him, and he suspected it too.
He quickly asked, “You’re right. How could she have such a big reaction just because you held on to me? You asked a great question.”
Bai Lian widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. She denied it immediately. “I didn’t. I didn’t do anything. Jing Chen, what evidence do you have to doubt me? Do you know how much pressure I’ve been under recently? How am I supposed to live in the future? Have you ever thought about it?”
Bai Lian’s voice trembled as she spoke. Her face was pale, and she looked so weak and pitiful.
Even Lin Xiu, who was standing at the side, cried because of Bai Lian’s words.
Seeing that Jing Chen still did not look good, Lin Xiu said, “Young Master Jing you know very well how you used to treat my Miss. You know very well that the damage that you’ve done to my Miss is irreversible. Young Master Jing, you’re being unfair to her.”
Jing Chen pursed his lips. His tone was no longer as shocking as before, but it was still full of coldness.
“Then how did Su Wan know your address? Didn’t you say that she would know?”
Jing Chen’s words rendered Bai Lian speechless.
She was stunned and stood rooted to the ground in a daze. She thought for a long time but could not remember if she had said where she was before. She could not remember clearly.
It was this hesitation that made her feel even more miserable.
But her tone of denial was still firm. “I don’t know. I have never contacted Su Wan. How would I know? Jing Chen, if you want to blame me, you’re wronging me.’
Jing Chen rubbed his temples. “Apart from you, I can’t think of anyone else who would do this. Alright, I will investigate this matter. You can rest first.”
Bai Lian looked at Jing Chen with a stubborn gaze and said firmly, “Jing Chen, ever since you treated me like this, my mind has been affected. I didn’t even pay attention to her matters. Why would I do such a thing? You should have some trust in me.”
“Even if your heart isn’t with me, you shouldn’t treat me like this!”
The more Bai Lian spoke, the more agitated she became. She even struggled to get up from the wheelchair. She looked terrifying.
Jing Chen nodded and said calmly, “Okay, but let’s not have any physical contact in the future.”
“What”
Bai Lian’s agitated expression disappeared.
But Jing Chen left without hesitation.
The corner of Bai Lian’s mouth trembled, and her intuition was ridiculous. “Physical contact? That’s considered physical contact? It must be Su Wan that bitch acting behind my back. Lin Xiu, I’m not going to argue anymore. We have to do that thing.”
“What if Young Master Jing finds out…”
Lin Xiu wanted to say something but hesitated. Looking at Bai Lian whose face was covered in tears, she could not bear to.
The hostility in Bai Lian’s eyes hid the weak aura that she exuded just now. “Not everything I do can be blamed on me. What are you afraid of? If Jing Chen is really controlled by her, I won’t have a good life!”
