Wen Xuxu pressed her lips, indirectly admitting it.

“No…” Su Yue shook her head and was in a daze. She hugged her head and stooped down slowly. “No way… How could Bai Jing try to kill me?”

 Snippets of her first meeting with Bai Jing flashed through her mind.

That pure girl who smiled with innocence.

It was the same sincere and kind smile her third sister-in-law gave her when they first met.

It made her want to draw closer to her—to rely on and trust her.

Before she met her third sister-in-law and Bai Jing, no one else smiled at her without a tinge of mockery or disdain.

Through her gaze, she felt her sincerity. Her heart was pure and she befriended her without hesitation. She even shared her innermost feelings with her.

Only to be told that the person who wanted her dead—the person who indirectly killed the amazing Jiao Chen who loved her so much—was the only friend she ever had.

She never hated Bai Jing. She had broken her heart, but at the end of the day, Bai Jing was still in her heart.

Even when Bai Jing had let her third sister-in-law down, she wanted to give her a second chance. She wanted her to be able to keep her head held high in the future.

Did she do the wrong thing? Did she do the wrong thing? Did she do the wrong thing?

 Su Yue hugged her head in agony and was slightly hysterical. Xuxu squatted down and gently patted her shoulder. She comforted, “Yueyue, the scariest thing in this world is a person’s heart because you don’t know what it could turn into. Sometimes, we ourselves cannot control or change our own hearts.”

 Su Yue lifted her head to look at Xuxu, her face studded with tears. “But why did she want to kill me? Just because she liked third brother? Was she angry because she didn’t get her way?”

 Su Yue witnessed it back then, but would rather have guilt towards her third sister-in-law than betray her friend and send her to her doom.

But why didn’t she let her off?

 Su Yue was baffled. She choked. “I knew that she liked third brother. I was upset and heartbroken. I even hated her before. But I truly treated her as my friend. I know that she sincerely treated me as a friend since the start…”

 The words got stuck in her throat. Xuxu’s eyes turned red and she hugged her tightly. She patted her back in an attempt to comfort her. “I know… I know… I’m glad that you have a forgiving heart and the will to give her a second chance. I’m glad that you are so kind-hearted. You did nothing wrong.”

 “No…” Su Yue pushed her away. Heartbroken, she yelled, “I was wrong. I let her off, but she ended up wanting me dead.”

 And most importantly, her benevolence cost Jiao Chen his life.

“I let her off… Then she killed Jiao Chen…”

 She was too foolish.

She even misunderstood Ming Ansheng’s grandfather and indirectly killed him.

Su Yue was wallowing in self-blame. She repeatedly knocked her head against the wall.

She closed her eyes, but tears still flowed down her face in an endless stream. Snippets of Jiao Chen lying in a pool of blood, to his ice-cold, scrawny body in the mortuary filled her mind.

If she had exposed Bai Jing’s thoughts and actions back then, could she still have harmed her?

 If her third brother knew that Bai Jing harbored such thoughts and even acted on them, how would he let her off? He would definitely make her disappear from the capital city.

Then she wouldn’t have the chance, or even dare to think of harming her.
