556 The Secret About the Past 174 (2/2)

”If I'm a monster, what does that make you? Are you any better than I am?” Sun Weiwei questioned softly.

The assistant ignored her and scurried out of the hospital to get into her car.

She pushed through the discomfort and forced herself to bear with the excruciating pain while driving home.

However, she stepped on the emergency brakes halfway through the journey and stopped breathing altogether.

Sun Weiwei knew that the assistant would die for sure. Yet, she did not expect herself to make such a foolish blunder again this time.

She was arrested by the police the very moment she arrived home.

The assistant's post on Weibo caused a major uproar in the evening. The cause of Bai Ranran's death was finally revealed years after she passed away. Both the Ye family and Bai family were flabbergasted when they heard about the news.

Ye Xiaotian was overwhelmed with guilt as he read through the post on Weibo over and over again.

When Bai Ranran died, he was not as upset as he was now.

He was in the worst possible mood.

After visiting Sun Weiwei at the police station, he returned home and cooped himself up in the wine cellar.

He chugged liquor continuously in a bid to drown his sorrows.

He felt guilty for not investigating how Bai Ranran got infected with the SIA virus back then and instead just watched as she died.

If it weren't for the fact that the assistant had suffered the same fate, the truth will have probably never been unraveled.

Sun Weiwei committed all of these misdeeds for her own selfish reasons.

In fact, that was what the media reported as well— claiming that Sun Weiwei had plotted a scheme to kill Bai Ranran, all because of Ye Xiaotian!

Ye Xiaotian was branded as a shameless jerk as a result.

However, there was also a minority who defended Ye Xiaotian, saying that the matter occurred solely because of Sun Weiwei's malicious intentions and evil thoughts and that Ye Xiaotian did not deserve to be called a shameless jerk since he did not force Sun Weiwei into doing what she had done.

In conclusion, the piece of news become a hot topic for discussion online.

Mo Li had also read everyone's comments about the matter, particularly about Ye Xiaotian. Thus, she walked toward the wine cellar and pushed the door open.

”Xiaotian.”

Ye Xiaotian did not bother looking at her and instead continued to drink incessantly.

Mo Li entered the cellar and squatted down in front of him. ”Stop drinking,” she said, snatching his bottle of liquor away.

”Give it to me.” He snatched it back from her.

”It's not your fault, you don't have to hold it against yourself. You didn't wish for this to happen either. It was all Sun Weiwei's evil doing.”

”When Ranran died… I actually felt a little relieved to be free, because I'd have had to marry her if she hadn't died. That was a token of gratitude to thank her for donating a kidney to my mother. But I really didn't expect her to have died because of someone else's doing. I never knew she died a wrongful death all along. She died all because of me, because of me!”

Teary-eyed, Mo Li said, ”Sun Weiwei is now arrested. Ms. Bai would definitely be at ease if she knows about this. Ms. Bai won't bear a grudge against you.”

Ye Xiaotian turned to make eye contact with her and said, ”Have you any idea how much I wanted to break Sun Weiwei's neck when I saw her at the police station today?”

Mo Li nodded and said, ”I know.”

Without uttering another word, he raised his neck and continued to drink until he was drunk out of his senses.

Mo Li then helped him back inside the room.

”Ranran… I should've given you a wedding…” Ye Xiaotian murmured.

Mo Li stood by the bed, slightly upset to hear his words. However, she did not wish to vie with a dead person for his love.
