"I’m sorry you had to witness such a farce today," she said, sighing deeply. Yun Ya gave a wry smile: "Aunt Bai, you looked really beautiful today. That bright red cheongsam especially highlighted all your best features." Bai Ran was discussing something else with her when Yun Ya suddenly brought up her dress. Bai Ran couldn’t quite follow her train of thought. "Yun Ya, you’re right, some people just can’t be appeased with kindness. I learned that lesson well today, fortunately, Xi’er is fine," Bai Ran said, still somewhat frightened at the thought and utterly despising Gu Chunrong at the bottom of her heart. "Lessons bought with your son’s blood and tears are indeed profound," Yun Ya mocked, curling her lips, "So, what are you planning to do next? Prove Bai Xiangxiang’s innocence and then send me to prison?" Bai Ran choked, "Yun Ya, that’s not what I meant..." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire.net "The moment you chose to save Bai Xiangxiang, you already pushed me to a dead end. After all, I have no blood relation to you. It’s only natural for you to want to save your own niece," Yun Ya said. "Yun Ya, I absolutely didn’t mean that. I bear no malice towards you. I just thought about how Xiangxiang grew up before my eyes, and I couldn’t bear to see her imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, so I... But I would never divulge your matters..." "Even if you did speak out, what does it matter? Do you have evidence? Would anyone believe you?" Yun Ya curled her lips, "You’d better go to the police station now and turn me in, let them arrest me. See if they can find even a shred of evidence on me. Oh, I forgot, the lawyer you found, Jian Junjie, he’s quite capable, maybe he could find something on me?" "No... It won’t come to that, Yun Ya, I won’t let you be suspected," Bai Ran insisted. Yun Ya smiled and took out a medical injection bottle wrapped in a clear plastic bag, "This, this is a critical piece of evidence, Tubular Arrow Poison Alkaloid. If you personally place it in Bai Xiangxiang’s room, I’ll believe you." Bai Ran looked at the vial, and her pupils suddenly constricted. Not saving Bai Xiangxiang was one thing, but to personally harm her... "What’s the matter? Can’t bear to do it? Then don’t talk big," Yun Ya sneered, tucking the bottle away. Bai Ran snatched the vial from Yun Ya’s hand, "Who says I can’t bear it? That bitch Gu Chunrong dares to kidnap my son, I’ll make sure her daughter rots in jail." All of this was Gu Chunrong’s own fault, and Bai Xiangxiang deserved it for provoking Yun Ya... She gave herself the perfect excuse. To hell with so-called kinship, nothing was more important than her son’s life. Bai Ran had always believed in an eye for an eye. This was all Gu Chunrong’s doing. "Aunt Bai is a smart woman. You should know where to place the vial to make the prosecutor’s second search seem believable," Yun Ya reminded her. Bai Ran felt a tug at her heart, suddenly finding the vial in her hand burning hot. Yun Ya stepped forward to adjust Bai Ran’s collar, looking very gentle, "Aunt Bai, in life, you will encounter many people. You should know who is worth protecting, who deserves your kindness, and those who aren’t worth it, who don’t deserve it, are like the water you drink, flushing out the waste from your body with your urine. Would you ever feel sentimental about your own urine?" It was a crude metaphor but fitting. "Aunt Bai, today is your wedding day. I don’t want to upset you. A bride should be happy, and you should continue to be happy in the future. You still have Professor Ning and Little Brother Xi. Only they are the ones you should be soft-hearted towards," Yun Ya said. Bai Ran looked at the girl before her: "What were you thinking when you saved that old man?" Yun Ya smirked: "Well, there was a live TV broadcast at the time, a golden opportunity to enhance my image, an opportunity that rarely comes." "You’re lying," Bai Ran said, her gaze fixed on her, "I’ve watched that video no less than a hundred times. You can deceive others but not me. You were risking your life to save that person." With a mocking glance, Yun Ya said, "Digging too deep isn’t a good habit. I saved her, and I benefited from it. It was a fair deal, very worthwhile." Bai Ran looked at her as if she were insane: "You’re terrifying." An angel and a demon coexisting in one body—what kind of terrifying soul is this? Yun Ya nodded earnestly: "You’re not the first to say that about me, of course, nor will you be the last." Clutching the vial in her hand, Bai Ran said, "I know what to do, don’t worry, I won’t let Bai Xiangxiang’s situation implicate you." Yun Ya had a feeling that this matter wouldn’t be resolved so easily because of that Jian Junjie. She had seen his resume, and she suspected a tough battle lay ahead.
