To Lu Yushan, seeing someone realize the truth in their dying moments, yet being powerless to do anything about it, was the most satisfying outcome and the most fulfilling moment of revenge.
As for Yin Xi, a thrill of secret delight, even a touch of excitement, coursed through her.
The truth was finally about to be revealed.
She believed Qin Si Ye was undoubtedly nearby, listening to their conversation.
“How did Qin Si Ye’s necklace end up in your hands?” Yin Xi didn't beat around the bush, directly asking the question that troubled her the most.
“Oh, you can thank me for that,” Lu Yushan said, hands clasped behind her back, a sinister smile on her face. “Remember five years ago, the day the Yin family was sealed off? I kindly went to see you at Yi Jing Xi Yuan, but you attacked me. The necklace fell out of your bag then.”
Hearing this, Yin Xi’s heart trembled. It seemed her guess was half right.
No wonder she had never seen that necklace before.
“Lu Yushan, you’re incredibly bold. With just a necklace, you dared to claim to Qin Si Ye that you were the woman from that night.
Aren’t you afraid Qin Si Ye will uncover the truth and end your life?”
“Hmph, how could that happen? Before I went to him, I made thorough preparations. Everything was under my control.
He hasn’t figured it out all these years, has he? If you hadn’t suddenly returned to stir things up, would things have reached this point?”
Lu Yushan chuckled and continued,
“Actually, Qin Si Ye’s intelligence isn’t all that impressive; he’s not as mysterious as the rumors suggest.
This time, weren’t you separated by our meticulously planned scheme of estrangement, giving us the opportunity to capture you?”
Qin Si Ye, listening from the third floor, heard her words and clenched his fists, the sound of his knuckles cracking.
If he hadn’t possessed a certain degree of self-control, he would have gone over there and strangled that arrogant and vicious woman.
Inside, the people present trembled, not daring to make a sound.
Yin Xi didn’t dwell on that topic, shifting to another matter.
“What about the car accident near Xishan Cemetery five years ago?”
At this moment, Lu Yushan was completely intoxicated by the feeling of victory and replied without thinking:
“If you don’t mention that car accident, I don’t get angry. I don’t know how my father found people, but they failed to kill you and the child in your womb on the spot.”
Hearing this, Yin Xi stared at her in utter shock.
Qin Si Ye’s prediction had been correct; Lu Huaian had indeed sent people to do it.
How could this woman be so venomous? Not only did she want to kill her, but she also wanted to take the lives of the three children in her womb.
A mist formed before her eyes. Yin Xi sniffled, her voice choked as she asked, “How did you know I was pregnant back then?”
She recalled that at the time, she hadn’t told anyone about her pregnancy, not even her close friend Xie Yifei had enough time to be informed.
“It was quite a coincidence. The day you found out you were pregnant, I was also at the obstetrics and gynecology department, having just discovered my own pregnancy. A quick investigation by someone told me.”
Bai Lin looked at her with fierce eyes and continued,
“You were by Qin Si Ye’s side then; how could I tolerate him knowing about your pregnancy?
So the only solution was to get rid of you as soon as possible.
It’s a shame it failed; you were rescued by someone, and even gave birth to three children.
It’s truly hateful; now I can only take your life. Those three children are with Qin Si Ye, and for now, I can’t do anything to them.”
What? Even now, she still intended to harm her children?
Yin Xi glared at her, her eyes bloodshot, wishing she could tear her flesh and drink her blood.
But she knew she had to endure; one crucial question remained unanswered.
Just then, Meng Qi, who had been standing silently, stepped forward belatedly, took Bai Lin’s arm, and asked:
“Bai Lin, you’ve been lying to me all along. Everything you’ve done since returning to the country, you’ve been using me, haven’t you?”
