Chapter 171 - : You Promised Me

But Bai Lian grabbed Jing Chen’s arm and looked at him with heartache and tears in her eyes. “Jing Chen, do you know how hurtful these words are to me? You said that you had to take care of my body. Do you know who caused me to become like this?”

“If it’s as you said! Did I do this to myself? I’ve wanted to commit suicide several times. If I die, I’ll die a hundred times over. But I’m not willing to die like this. If I die, you’ll completely become that little b*tch Su Wan’s man. I won’t be able to walk the path to the netherworld with peace of mind.”

The more Bai Lian spoke, the more agitated she became. She was in a state of hysteria. Her hateful eyes landed on Jing Chen. She held onto Jing Chen tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She was trembling and the veins on her face were bulging. She stared at Jing Chen.

“Can you take pity on me, Jing Chen…”

Jing Chen brushed her hand away and pressed it down hard. After pushing her away, he took a step back and said expressionlessly, “I’m not pitying you anymore. I’m taking you too seriously. You might not be that weak. This injury hasn’t endangered your life after so long, right?”

“Jing Chen, what do you mean? Are you forcing me to die?”

Bai Lian looked at him absurdly, her face full of shock. Her hand remained in the same position, frozen in midair.

She looked straight at him.

Jing Chen trembled. He narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. “Don’t do anything stupid…”

Bai Lian saw that his tone had become tactful and was no longer as confrontational as before.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, Bai Lian moved closer to Jing Chen again and held his hand tightly. She said earnestly, “Jing Chen, think about me. I don’t feel aggrieved. As long as you’re by my side, it’s fine even if the person you like isn’t me.”

“Look, the child in Su Wan’s stomach isn’t yours. You can care for her so much and love her so much. You’re even willing to cover up for her. I love you so much. Why can’t you treat me better?”

“…”

Bai Lian’s words were like a sharp blade that pierced Jing Chen’s weakness. He stood rooted to the ground and asked in a hoarse voice, “I can’t even be sure, so how can you be sure that the child in Su Wan’s stomach isn’t mine?”

Hearing this, Bai Lian smiled knowingly. The light in her eyes could not be hidden no matter what. She smiled brightly and arrogantly. “Jing Chen, you have to admit that she has someone else in her heart. You swore to her that you didn’t want a child. How could she be willing to keep your child?”

“Women know women best. Can you believe it? This is the only way this will end.”

Faced with Bai Lian’s firm tone, Jing Chen felt extremely upset.

He had not expected that in the end, he would give up his feelings and his heart in this marriage.

However, he was abandoned by that person.

Jing Chen pretended to smile casually. “Is it important? If you can do it to this extent, why can’t I?”

“Jing Chen! Are you of the same status as me? Why can’t you look at me? Why, Jing Chen…” Bai Lian got up from the bed with difficulty. She looked extremely weak, as if she would fall the next second.

“Our relationship was so good before, but you actually forgot about me. Is it because of my current state? But it’s all because of Su Wan. It’s all because of the person you love. It’s all because of her. Without her, my life would be so good. If the Jing Family hadn’t chased me out of the country, I wouldn’t be in such a state…”

With that, Bai Lian had already hugged Jing Chen. However, just as she placed her hand on him, Jing Chen pushed her away mercilessly.

Jing Chen said indifferently, but his expression was extremely bad. “Things are different now. What I’m giving you now is something that even Su Wan has to lean on. What are you still dissatisfied with?”

“Of course I’m satisfied. The prerequisite is that you really didn’t go back on your word. Remember what you promised me. Jing Chen, I’ll drag someone down with me before I die.”

“…”

She would drag someone down with her before she died.

When Jing Chen came out of Bai Lian’s ward, he saw Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin smiled bitterly. “Young Master Jing, people from the Jing Family shouldn’t be like this. People have to learn to know their limits, right?”

Why did he have to spoil her like this?
