When they saw Xiao Tao's reaction, Lu Jingli exchanged a look with Lu Tingxiao. They did not say anything. Their gazes were calm as if they had predicted this.
"Xiao Tao, please get up first!"
Xiao Tao shook her head hard and pushed Ling Zhizhi away. She insisted on kneeling. "No! Sis Zhizhi! I'm not getting up! It's I... It's I who hurt Bro Xi... It's I who caused Bro Xi to become like this... Bro Xi has been so good to me, yet I made her this way..."
"Xiao Tao, please calm down. What's going on?" Ling Zhizhi's expression was even more solemn now.
Xiao Tao remained very emotional and she kept repeating, "It's all my fault!". Ling Zhizhi consoled her for a very long time before Xiao Tao finally calmed down slightly and knelt there blankly. She said in a shaky voice, "I knew... I already knew... that someone wanted to hurt Bro Xi in secret... They wanted to kill Bro Xi... They wanted Bro Xi's life..."
