6 – The Scum Have Arrived
After placating Jiang Yihan, Bai Ruanruan pushed the door open and left.
However, the moment she stepped out of the bedroom…
“You can’t go up.”
“Leave, get out of here now.”
Downstairs, the servants chased after Su Mengshu, who was panting heavily as she rushed toward Bai Ruanruan.
“Ruanruan, are you okay? You have no idea, I waited for you outside for so long and you never showed up. You… Ah, your lips… That beast Jiang Yihan!”
Su Mengshu grabbed Bai Ruanruan’s hand, her anger boiling over. “I said I waited for you outside for so long, why didn’t you come? So you were caught by Jiang Yihan again, and he even did such a beastly thing to you?”
The more she spoke, the higher her tone rose.
“How could he do this? He clearly knows you like Mu Xuan, how could he still do such a shameless thing? It’s too much.”
Bai Ruanruan lowered her head, staring at the hands gripping hers, and smiled.
These claws… she really wanted to crush them.
“Ruanruan, since Jiang Yihan has gone this far, don’t be soft-hearted toward him anymore. I have a new idea that can get you out of here right away and let you meet with Brother Mu Xuan.”
“What idea?”
In her previous life, when her parents died in an accident, she not only failed to investigate the cause of their deaths but instead fell in love with Mu Xuan, secretly dating him while Jiang Yihan handled all her parents’ affairs.
Meanwhile, she followed Su Mengshu’s advice, poisoning Jiang Yihan to provoke him, while pouring all the wealth her parents left behind into Mu Xuan’s hands.
It wasn’t until her death that she learned Mu Xuan had been with her from start to finish only for the Bai family’s inheritance and the heart in her body that could prolong Su Mengshu’s life.
In her previous life, she was famously known as the fool of the capital, with nothing but a love-struck brain, allowing Su Mengshu to manipulate her in every way.
This time, let’s see who manipulates whom.
Su Mengshu didn’t notice Bai Ruanruan’s unusual expression at all. She pulled her along, continuing to offer advice as she always had, speaking with animated excitement. “First, come with me. I’ll take you to see Brother Mu Xuan. He’s been waiting outside for you, worried sick. For you, he’s already left the Mu family. He wants to elope with you, to completely escape Jiang Yihan’s control.”
As she spoke, she tugged Bai Ruanruan downstairs. “Listen to me, Ruanruan. If anyone tries to stop us from leaving, you hurt yourself again.”
With that, Su Mengshu took a knife from her bag and handed it to Bai Ruanruan.
“Jiang Yihan can’t stand seeing you hurt. This time, make it a bit more severe, and no one will dare stop us.”
“Stop them, stop them!” Downstairs, the servants panicked when they saw the two preparing to leave.
Bai Ruanruan held the knife, silent. Su Mengshu had indeed brought a knife to her before.
Back then, when she heard Mu Xuan was waiting for her outside, what had she done?
She followed Su Mengshu’s advice and harmed herself, only to end up with Jiang Yihan imprisoning her even more fiercely.
This was Jiang Yihan’s territory. If she hadn’t threatened him with suicide back then, forcing him to allow Su Mengshu free access to the estate, Su Mengshu would never have set foot here in her lifetime.
“Bai Ruanruan, I knew you were deceiving the young master for a purpose. How long has it been, and your true colors are already showing?” When Lin Da arrived and saw Su Mengshu, everything became clear to him.
Every time this woman came to the house, she would stir up trouble with Bai Ruanruan, and the young master would inevitably suffer.
He had wanted to kill this woman several times, but she happened to be Bai Ruanruan’s close friend, and the young master had also given orders that no one around Bai Ruanruan was to be touched.
“I advise you to step aside, or else…”
Su Mengshu grabbed Bai Ruanruan’s hand, making the knife in her grip gleam menacingly.
