Chapter 348 - A Tragic End

Ambling through the crowd, Liu Chenmin emerged before the dazed Bai Yue who was staring at the performer on stage. He tapped her shoulder and flashed his million dollar smile.

Bai Yue was startled, she screamed and fell in his embrace. He laughed teasingly and grabbed her waist shocking the little girl who was new to such proximity. Her soft body and feminine scent flooded his senses. She jumped out of his arms like a deer with a flushed face.

Instead of making the profusely blushing Bai Yue feel uncomfortable, Liu Chenmin effortlessly eased the atmosphere by talking about her singing and other trivial things. He had successfully divided her attention by his compliments and sweet talking.

Finally, Liu Chenmin gave the young aspiring singer a chance to sing on stage which Bai Yue declined out of nervousness and embarrassment. He subtly forced the girl by saying some honeyed words of encouragement that sounded pleasing to her ears.

The young and naive Bai Yue was easily swayed by the antics of the experienced playboy, Liu Chenmin.

Faced with Liu Chenmin's easygoing attitude and always smiling face, Bai Yue gradually let her guard down. By the end of the evening, they were able to converse freely without any awkwardness between them.

As days went by, Bai Yue and Liu Chenmin came to be really close friends. Their proximity increased too. Comfortable in each other's presence, they frequently met outside.

Sometimes at the club where they first met, while other times at a restaurant or Liu Chenmin's hotel.

The married man with a five year old kid was spending time with his fifteen year old girlfriend. It had a potential of becoming quiet a news. But this affair was a clandestine one. Nobody knew a word, except for Bai Yue, Liu Chenmin and his loyal secretary.

As expected, their union brought forth a lot of complications.

Soon after their frequented meetings, the underage Bai Yue became pregnant within a short period of two months. She looked sick, her originally rosy complexion paled.

Nobody paid attention to Bai Yue's feeble condition because she was diagnosed as anaemic from childhood. Until one day Liu Chenmin's secretary suggested him that she might be pregnant.

Staggered by the possibility of Bai Yue being pregnant with his child, Liu Chenmin was gripped by an indescribable fear.

In the pretense of a routine medical checkup, Liu Chenmin inconspicuously brought a frail looking Bai Yue to a friend of his, who was also a gynaecologist.

After conducting a number of tests it was confirmed that Bai Yue was indeed pregnant.

Baffled by the piece of news, Liu Chenmin poured his heart out in front of his friend, out of intense fear. He rambled about his responsibilities, his marriage, his wife and five year old daughter.

Hidden behind the curtains, the quivering Bai Yue's heart was in her mouth as she listened to Liu Chenmin's stabbing words.

Bai Yue was shocked by this revelation.

The two men in the room were stunned seeing a pale faced Bai Yue hiding behind the curtains. She was shaking with anger and utter shock. It was evident from her reaction that she had heard everything.

The heartless Liu Chenmin forced Bai Yue to abort their child as he was already married, with a family and child of his own.

Naturally the righteous Bai Yue didn't agree to Liu Chenmin's suggestion and ran away from his clutches. She pushed the man with all her might, he fell backwards on the cold floor and watched her back as she sprinted out of the room.

Crying, a heartbroken Bai Yue wasn't able to cope up with her pain and fainted. When she came to, she was lying in the operating room with Liu Chenmin smiling darkly at her.

Miserably failing in her futile attempts of running away from the devil of a man that Liu Chenmin was, the child in Bai Yue was aborted by coercion. She was threatened and abandoned by the man right after the deed was done.

In despair, the once cheery and gleeful young girl fell into depression. Bai Yue's frail body weakened further and her grades dropped too. Eventually, Bai Yue succumbed to her heart-wrenching pain by choosing death as the only resort.

Disheartened, Bai Yue committed suicide by jumping off the club's building where Liu Chenmin had invited her.

It was a tragic end of a young girl with dreams and aspirations.

After Bai Yue's death, her mother who couldn't cope up with her daughter's spear also committed suicide.

The young Bai Yong - Mr Bai - was left alone to fend for himself and his crippled father at the age of nineteen.

One day, after his graduation Mr Bai found his sister, Bai Yue's diary that enclosed the biggest secret of her life along with Liu Chenmin's business card. There were also a few sneakily taken photographs as well as newspaper, magazine cuttings of the despicable man.

Fifteen years!

Mr Bai worked hard to enter Liu empire and work beside his enemy, Liu Chenmin.

For full fifteen years, Mr Bai endured the hatred and anger bubbling inside him and collected evidence of Liu Chenmin's dirty deeds.

Mr Bai vowed to himself that he'd avenge his sister - Bai Yue - her unborn child and his mother's untimely deaths. He'd not leave any member of that man's family alive.

Liu Chenmin's daughter, Liu Li is the first victim of Mr Bai's revenge followed by the ignorant Zhang Lili and finally the man himself.

Attired in a high slit floral skirt and a pale pink off-shoulder crop top, Zhang Lili stood across the mirror with a wide smile on her face. Her pink lips were glossy. Her equally glossy, and smooth skin was framed by loose strands falling on either side of her face. Her hair were styled into an updo.

Satisfied by her appearance, Zhang Lili struck a pose and clicked a selfie to post on her social media account before sauntering out of her room.
