Chapter 395: The truth right before the eyes 14_1

Baili Xia’s stride faltered, her palm tightly clenched in a reflex.

“Come or not, that’s your call.” Lu Xuening wagered that she would follow her.

She always knew, the sick man was her Achilles’ heel—she couldn’t break away from him!

As expected, Baili Xia did not leave, but followed her into the room.

As they entered, the room door was slammed shut.

Lu Xuening raised her hand and somehow produced a bag of powdered drug, quickly tossing it at Baili Xia.

If it were Baili Xia of the past, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to avoid it.

But recently, a mysterious man had been training her every night, making her reflexes far superior to what they used to be.

With a “swish”, as Baili Xia dodged the drug, she unleashed her silver chain.

“Ah!” Lu Xuening screamed in pain as her wrist flared with a burning sensation.

Looking down, she saw a bloody gash across her wrist, fresh blood continuously oozing out.

Luckily, the wound was not too deep.

She was fortunate that Baili Xia had not been ruthless.

Otherwise, she would have lost her hand.

“You… You dare to hurt me!” Lu Xuening clutched her hand, glaring at Baili Xia, her teeth clenched in rage.

“After injuring me, you can’t get out of the Dongfang Family!”

She had wanted to drug Baili Xia, making her put on a lewd show with the male servants in front of Jin.

She hadn’t expected her to dodge it!

“Tell me, what exactly did you do to Jin back then?” Baili Xia didn’t feel like wasting words.

Jin refused to believe her, she knew there was more to this story.

Since they were on bad terms now, she didn’t need to hold back either.

This resentment had been simmering within her for an entire year!

Her statement seemed to deflate Lu Xuening’s rage slightly, replaced by a triumphant smile.

“Do you really want to know?”

Her wrist was still painful, but she wanted to see Baili Xia’s pained expression even more.

Baili Xia stared at her, scoffing coldly, “Do you not dare to speak even in front of me?”

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?” Lu Xuening laughed disdainfully, “What difference does it make even if I tell you?

Who would be willing to believe you?”

Baili Xia remained silent, her gaze locked on Lu Xuening.

Lu Xuening gave a shallow laugh, boldly remarked, “Alright then, I will help you understand your predicament, make you wish you were dead after learning the truth!”

She leaned against the table, watching every change in Baili Xia’s expression closely.

“Of course Jin didn’t confuse the situation back then.

Such a clever man as him, how could he have gotten this wrong?”

Baili Xia’s breath hitched, her breathing growing rapidulous, “Then why?”

“Because… I drugged him!

I hypnotized him!”

She laughed out loud, her laughter wild and cruel, “Did you know?

When I drugged and hypnotized him, he kept resisting, calling your name.”

“He really loved you, but now he only has hatred for you!”

“Because, under my hypnosis, not only did he think that you pushed him into the sea, he even thought that you were trying to kill him.”

“You…” Baili Xia clenched her fist tightly, the silver chain in her hand shaking, “You malicious woman!”

“So what?

What can you do to me?”

This was her territory, Lu Xuening wasn’t afraid of her.

“I had someone disguised as you, while he was still sick, and drugged him again.

During that time, I had the impersonator try to assassinate him.”

“It’s a pity, he’s so blindly in love.

Even though he believed that you were trying to kill him, he didn’t say a word to anyone to protect you from the wrath of the Dongfang Family.”

She sniffed dismissively, the mere mention of this subject incensed her, “A man too foolish to dare to love…how pathetic!”

Baili Xia felt a tightness in her chest, her heart aching terribly.

She hadn’t expected that the truth would be like this.

She had always blamed Jin for not believing her, but the truth was, he had been hypnotized all along and had no clue about it!

Even though he thought she was trying to kill him, he didn’t want to see her and had never wanted to seek revenge on her!

Jin, why must you be so foolish?

Lu Xuening watched her closely, noticing the deep sorrow in her eyes.

She laughed even harder, “How does that feel?

Are you hurting?

Do you want to tell him the truth?”

She laughed coldly a few times, her laughter trembling, “Too bad, you don’t have the chance.”

“So it was not Xiaxia who kicked me into the sea, but you?”

Suddenly, the door was flung open, taking both of them by surprise.

A tall figure strode in.

His gaze was locked on Lu Xuening, his voice filled with a murderous chill.

“And the one who risked her life to save me, it wasn’t you, but Xiaxia?”
