Chapter 19 - Chapter 19. Falling Out

“Luo Li, don’t refuse a toast. Only forfeit fine wine.”

Seeing that the ruse of self-injury couldn’t defeat me, Bai Ning’er finally revealed her true self.

Her face was dark, and her tone was unfriendly.

“Yo, why aren’t you acting pitiful anymore?” The mockery in my tone was unmistakable.

“Brother is right; you’re an unlucky wretch.”

“Luo Li, do you not understand? It’s your honor to save me. Since you don’t want to form a relationship with the Bai family to save me, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Even an adult might be unable to compare to Bai Ning’er’s sinister appearance.

The words she said were even more wrong.

After the influence of the Bai family head and Bai Yan, Bai Ning’er’s evil had mixed with her blood and could not be eradicated.

“Bai Ning’er, no wonder you’re sick.

You’ve done too much evil. I’m guessing that the heavens are punishing you.”

I said it casually, but I always accurately hit Bai Ning’er’s sore spot.

Her expression gradually became ferocious and terrifying.

“Luo Li, you’re in the Bai family now. Are you still going to be stubborn?

If I wanted to, I could make you experience a feeling worse than death!

Of course, if you sign the contract and become my dog, I’ll give you a chance and decide to forgive you.”

It was an utterly charitable attitude.

Bai Ning’er’s natural attitude was as if she wanted to give me a kidney.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself. Who do you think you are?” I didn’t look her in the eye. “It’s just that you chose well when you reincarnated. Do you think you’re better than others?

If you continue to be so stubborn, one day, you will be abandoned by your loved ones.”

“Trash, how dare you call me that?” Bai Ning’er finally couldn’t take it anymore.

She raised her hand high.

The palm carried the air and was about to land on my face.

“Little girl, you haven’t even grown all your teeth yet, and you still want to teach me a lesson?”

I moved, and in mid-air, I gently restrained her wrist.

I didn’t need to use any skills to deal with Bai Ning’er.

“Ah!”

I shook off her wrist. Bai Ning’er lost her balance and staggered back, falling to the ground.

Coincidentally, she fell onto the bowl of rice.

Her clean little dress was stained. Bai Ning’er covered her mouth and nose; her eyes were red with anger.

“Miss!” The Butler immediately appeared and helped the confused Bai Ning’er up.

“Uncle Butler …” Bai Ning’er called him ‘Uncle Butler’ countless times. “Brother Luo Li bullied me. I took care of him so much, but he still bullied me.

Uncle Butler, I want to find my father and brother. Only they can comfort me!

Could it be that Ning’er isn’t worthy of being treated? Ning’er only wants to live, but Little Big Brother targets me like this.”

Bai Ning’er’s tears flowed again.

“No way, Luo Li still dares to bully our young lady?”

“Miss is kind and the cutest little princess in the world. Yet, Luo Li still bullied her; how despicable!”

“He deserves to be locked in the secret room. He deserves to be tortured!”

“I heard from the young master that Luo Li slandered the young master in school. His moral conduct is evil!”

“I have never seen such a thick-skinned person like Luo Li.”

” Humph, he dared to push Miss. When the time comes, Master and young Master will not let Luo Li off.”

“That’s right. Master and young master love Miss Ning the most. They will teach Luo Li a lesson!”

“The heavenly Dao has good reincarnation. Luo Li will suffer retribution.”

“…”

The Bai family’s lackeys behind the Butler all said.

Even if they knew about the Bai family’s plot, they would not stand up to oppose it. Instead, they would choose to join in the evil.

However, their indignant tone almost made me think that they were trying to uphold justice.

It was laughable.

“Luo Li, just wait.” The Butler looked at me arrogantly. “Wait for our master and young master to deal with you!

I’d like to see how long you can last!”

The Butler didn’t dare to punish me on his own, so he left with Bai Ning’er after saying those harsh words.

The secret room door was closed again, and the surroundings gradually fell into silence and darkness.

“Sigh, a bunch of idiots.”

I smiled.

“System, is the cooldown for the invisibility skill over?”

…

For the rest of the time, I used the key I took from the guards to freely enter and exit the secret room.

I noticed the Bai family’s servants whispering to each other when I was strolling around.

“I heard that young master Bai Yan ordered that Luo Li is not allowed to eat!” A young lady said.

“Hmph, he’s going to suffer a bit anyway.” The old man rolled his eyes. “Our Bai family wants to treat him as a guest of honor, but he’s not happy. Then we’ll have to give him no food and let him calm down in the dark room.”

“Ah? It’s a little harsh not to give him food in the dark room.” A young lady said hesitantly.

The old attendant said unhappily, “Harsh? Luo Li asked for it!”

“Don’t think about him anymore. After a while, Luo Li will probably have to beg his grandfather and grandmother to leave the secret room.”

“But I heard that it was master Bai Yan who slandered Luo Li at school.” The young servant wanted to say more.

Seeing this, the old servant immediately covered her mouth. She only dared to speak after observing the surroundings.

“You’re so bold? You are now serving the Bai family, and young master Bai Yan is your master. No matter what, you have to speak for him!”

“Don’t you know the Bai family’s strength? Be careful not to speak nonsense and have your tongue cut off without anyone knowing. You’ll have no place to seek justice.”

The young attendant was frightened and didn’t dare to say anything more. She could only continue to work.

After hearing the entire conversation, I only felt that the Bai family was laughable.

To be able to make the servants fear him, Lord Bai’s iron Fist was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Unfortunately, the Bai family had kicked an iron plate this time. Bai Yan’s scheme would fail.

Not only will I not beg for mercy, but I will also be free.

It was simply outstanding.

…

Bai Yan couldn’t help but come to me in less than three days.

At that time, I had just finished the signature dish of the restaurant near the Bai family’s house, and my face was ruddy.

“Bring him out!” Bai Yan ordered from outside.

And so, just as I finished my meal and was about to fall asleep, I was brought to the main hall by the guards of the Bai family.

When I saw Bai Yan, he was sitting on the sofa smugly.

“These few days, you must be begging for death.”

Before he could even finish my sentence, Bai Yan noticed my glowing face.

He forcefully swallowed his words, his smile froze, and he looked at me in shock.

“You guys gave him food?” Bai Yan was furious and asked the servant beside him.

The servants repeatedly shook their heads, indicating they didn’t dare to.

Seeing their sincere expressions, Bai Yan’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

I’m guessing he must think I’m fine on the outside, but I’ve been tortured to a mental breakdown.

“Luo Li, I didn’t like you when I first saw you.” Bai Yan said coldly as he made tea.

“You’re such a smooth talker. You got Professor Liu to help you. It also caused me to be hated by professor Liu and lose the support of the academic world.”

At the mention of this, hatred gathered in Bai Yan’s eyes.

“It’s a pity that even if the Bai family loses its status in the academic world, it’s still strong. It’s an existence that you’ll never be able to reach.”

The more Bai Yan spoke, the more proud he became.

It was as if he was an existence that could cover the sky with one hand!
