7 – This idiot
“Step back.”
The moment Lin Da saw the knife in Bai Ruanruan’s hand, his eyes seemed to wish he could cut her into a thousand pieces.
This troublemaker Bai Ruanruan, in order to leave the estate, had threatened them with self-harm more than once or twice.
Every time she got hurt, their young master would lose control.
And she particularly enjoyed watching their young master lose control.
Poisonous—her heart was truly venomous!
Seeing Lin Da’s fearful expression, Su Mengshu couldn’t help but secretly curl her lips into a smile.
She knew they wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
“Let’s go, Ruanruan.”
Su Mengshu pulled Bai Ruanruan along, walking ahead with an air of confidence.
“Su Mengshu, is Mu Xuan really waiting for me outside?” Bai Ruanruan suddenly shook off Su Mengshu’s hand, her lively and spirited eyes gleaming with mischief as she dangerously toyed with the knife in her hand.
“Huh?” Su Mengshu was slightly taken aback.
“Yes, Ruanruan. Brother Mu Xuan is even willing to give up the Mu family just to take you away from Jiang Yihan and free you from this misery.”
Hah, free?
Mu Xuan had never truly waited for her outside. Every time Su Mengshu came to the estate, she always used the same excuse—that Mu Xuan was waiting for her outside. And every time Bai Ruanruan heard it, she would desperately wish she could sprout wings and fly out, losing all ability to think, allowing Su Mengshu to coax her into self-harm and foolish acts to provoke and hurt Jiang Yihan.
Every time Su Mengshu came, it was to sow discord between her and Jiang Yihan, making the two of them irreconcilable.
The sooner she lost Jiang Yihan’s protection, the sooner they could swindle the Bai family’s wealth and her heart.
“Brother Mu Xuan’s love for you is extraordinary. As your best friend, I’m truly envious. To have such a devoted man treat you this way, Ruanruan, you really are too fortunate.”
“Come on, hurry up and go with me.” Su Mengshu grabbed Bai Ruanruan’s hand and turned to run.
But this time, not only did she fail to pull the woman behind her, she was instead yanked back.
“Ruan… Ruanruan, come with me.”
Bai Ruanruan blinked her long lashes, looking worriedly at the servants surrounding them on all sides, and sighed, “We can’t get out. They won’t let us leave.”
Su Mengshu’s eyes lit up.
This was exactly the sentence she had been waiting for from the little fool.
“So, the method I just told you about can be used. Where did you cut yourself last time? Your wrist, right? This time, try your neck.”
Su Mengshu pulled Bai Ruanruan closer, lowering her voice as she coaxed her step by step, “If you strike harder this time, they definitely won’t dare stop us. And the more severely you’re injured, the worse Jiang Yihan’s condition will flare up. By then, everyone will be busy dealing with Jiang Yihan. Who would still pay attention to us?”
Not far away, when Lin Da heard Bai Ruanruan was about to slit her own throat, his fists clenched with a crackling sound. “Bai Ruanruan!”
Bai Ruanruan seemed not to hear Lin Da’s roar. Her cat-like eyes narrowed slightly as she raised the knife in her hand and examined it.
Su Mengshu couldn’t help but reveal a sinister smile at the corner of her mouth. If this little fool slashed her own throat this time, it would be enough to make Jiang Yihan’s condition flare up and lose control for days, to go mad for days.
The longer he stayed mad, the fewer days he would live.
“Ruanruan, Mu Xuan is right outside. You can’t catch a wolf without risking the child. Don’t worry, once you’re injured and chaos breaks out in the estate, I’ll secretly take you out.”
“I think your idea is quite brilliant.” Bai Ruanruan nodded repeatedly, then grabbed Su Mengshu’s wrist, pinned her against the pillar behind them, and with a flash of cold light from the sharp knife, the next moment…
“Ah—!” Su Mengshu’s pupils contracted, feeling the blood gushing from her neck in disbelief. “Bai, Bai Ruanruan, what are you doing?”
This fool!
“Mengshu, you’re absolutely right. You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Don’t worry, the more you bleed, the more these servants will fear a life being lost, and they’ll let us out. Come on, let me cut you a few more times.”
