Seeing herself in utter pain, while Bai Xue remained unscathed, it filled her with resentment. Why is it that Bai Xue is always so fortunate? Why is it that all the good things come her way?
They were born from the same father. She grew up as the heiress of the Bai family, treated like royalty wherever she went. Whereas she was a bast*rd, forced to hide away shamefully, and even when she claimed her lineage, people still pointed fingers at her!
She fell in love with Su Yan first and he reciprocated her feelings, yet Bai Xue cruelly snatched her happiness away!
The rightful Mrs. Su was her, but instead, she was the one suffering!
Is this justice?
Does fairness even exist in this world?
Her plaintive gaze made Bai Xue chuckle. It's not like she was the one who caused her harm. Why is she looking at her like that?
Bai Wanrou was always like this, using pity-seeking, plaintive gazes to look at people, as if the entire world had wronged her.
"Bai Xue, would you like a drink?",Jones Ellie attitudes towards Bai Xue and Bai Wanrou are like heaven and earth.
Initially, Ellie disliked Bai Xue, but after seeing how Su Yan treated her, she felt a sense of kinship with her, of we are all but fellow lonely souls. Coupled with a certain admiration she had for Bai Xue, her treatment towards her had a flavor of friendship.
The threat of torment yesterday was purely out of annoyance and an attempt to frighten her.
"If possible, I would like a glass of water." Bai Xue rejected anything that might harm her baby's growth.
"Bai Xue, are you pregnant?" Jones Ellie suddenly leaned closer to her.
Bai Xue was taken aback.
Ellie was smarter and more observant than she thought.
Bai Wanrou also trembled. Bai Xue is pregnant! Su Yan actually got Bai Xue pregnant!
How can this be!
"You're carrying his child, yet he's still so indifferent to your life or death. Does such a man deserve your love? Or my love?" Ellie, reminded of the phone call with Su Yan last night where he only warned her not to touch Bai Wanrou and he didn't even mention Bai Xue, felt genuinely sad for her.
"There is no question of worthiness." Love is love. The path she chose, she alone is responsible for. Her love for him is her business, his lack of love for her is his affair. No one has ever guaranteed that love will be reciprocated, so she doesn't resent or blame Su Yan.
"Bai Xue, if you keep this up, I might just be convinced to spare you." Ellie sighed.
How could such a detestable woman suddenly start to appeal to her?
"Then please, spare me." Bai Xue seized upon her words.
"If I spare you, and then kill the person you love most, will you let me be?" Ellie knew the power of Bai Xue's revenge was not to be underestimated.
"I will." Bai Xue wasn't placating her, she truly meant it.
It was not because she was afraid of death, but if Su Yan died trying to save Bai Wanrou, why should she seek revenge for him?
"Fine, remember what you said." Perhaps if she felt good later, she really would allow her a way out!
Bai Wanrou was huddled in a corner, listening to their conversation, her heart filled with unending dread for the future.
However, she wasn't entirely in despair. From Ellie's tone, she knew that Su Yan was still concerned for her life, he would come to save her!
Every time there was a danger in the past, he had always been there in time to save her. He never let her get hurt, she believed this time would be the same!
