Chapter 72 - The Mysterious Truth (1/2)
A Miao knew that she was kidnapped. Her mouth was covered as soon as she walked to the beach. A pungent smell emerged, and she could not even cry for help.
When she woke up, she opened her eyes and began to tremble because she did not know what had happened to her. But when she saw herself naked with Bai Youran lying beside her.
She would rather have never woken up.
”I'm here, it's okay!”
At this time, she saw Shen Xinglan. A Miao thought she had been hallucinating until she was being tightly hugged by him.
”A Miao, I'm here.” Shen Xinglan wrapped her in the sheets and picked her up. ”I'll take you home.”
Because of the drug, A Miao only woke up for a while and then passed out again. Shen Xinglan hugged her into the car, and Shen I looked at him with fist clenched.
”Boss.”
Shen Xinglan's index finger pressed against his lips as he whispered, ”Go to Shen II. He knows what to do.”
”Understood.” Shen I commanded his men and then sat down in the driver's seat to drive.
When A Miao woke up again, she was already in her room. Her first reaction was to look at her body, and she saw that she had pajamas on.
”You're awake.” Shen Xinglan came in with a glass of milk.
It was unknown if it was just a physiological reaction, as soon as A Miao saw him, she cried.
”Don't... don't cry. You're all right, he didn't touch you,” said Shen Xinglan, somewhat flustered.
A Miao cried and nodded. ”I... I know.” She was clear about her own body and there was no sign of having been violated.
”Thank you.” A Miao could not stop her tears while speaking. ”At that time... when you appeared, I thought it was a dream.”
She did not know how to describe her feelings. Thinking back on it now, whenever Shen Xinglan appeared, he was like her savior. Every time she despaired, he would appear.
”Drink.” Shen Xinglan handed a cup to her.
As warm milk ran down her throat, her body instantly became warm, and A Miao sighed in relief.
”Do you want to know what happened?” Shen Xinglan sat down beside her bed, and A Miao stared directly at him. ”Was it Bai Lu?”
Shen Xinglan shook his head. ”She has already been busy taking care of herself. She has no time to plot against you.”
”Who is it then?” If it wasn't her, then who could it be...
”Was it Xia Wan?” She clutched at her chest. ”She... How dare...”
Shen Xinglan glanced at her. ”Why would she not dare? From the beginning, that woman never intended to marry Bai Youran. If you were caught in bed with him today, she could rightfully dissolve the engagement.”
The Xia and Bai families were now in great chaos, just as Shen Xinglan had said.
”Grandpa!”
Xia Mei put on an act and rushed toward him.
”Why are you here?” Xia Wan had a sinister face and really wanted to strangle this damned girl who had repeatedly ruined her plans.
As Bai Youran also woke up, he saw himself and Xia Mei naked and saw Xia Wan standing coldly on the bed, then his heart suddenly sank.
”Damn it! Who's done this? Who has hurt me?”
Xia Yongqiang exchanged glances with the old lady of the Bai family.
”Relative by marriage, this should have never happened today. What do you think?” The old lady of the Bai family was the first to speak.
”I'll send someone to investigate.” Xia Yongqiang nodded while fidgeting because he naturally knew that someone had orchestrated this incident, but he did not understand what the purpose of that person was.
If it was to destroy the marriage, why did that person use Xia Mei? Even if Bai Youran really did touch Xia Mei, the marriage would not be canceled, it would just be with a different woman.
”All right, you two get ready and go home.” When Xia Haixin saw that neither of the two old men intended to investigate, he took Yao Lili and walked out.
”Wanwan...” They along with Bai Youran were afraid of Xia Wan misunderstanding. ”I didn't touch Xia Mei. I was framed.”
Xia Wan put on an ugly expression as she raised the corner of her mouth. ”Let's go back first.”
When the two families left, Shen II took left with the men.
”Did you send Xia Mei in?” Hearing the end of the story, A Miao said with horror, ”Wouldn't that be to her liking?”
Shen Xinglan shook his head. ”The ecstasy that was given to you was a very heavy dose. Bai Youran could not do anything.” Seeing A Miao's vacant face, Shen Xinglan explained it to her.
”If people had really caught them in bed, the Bai family would have definitely pursued the issue to the end.” Shen Xinglan lifted his eyebrows. ”Xia Wan also called a reporter.”
A Miao gave a bitter smile. ”She wanted to make some noise, so the marriage between the two families had to be canceled. She really hates me and tries to use me to help herself.”
”No.” Shen Xinglan shook his head. ”She had originally wanted to find a woman in the social circle, but someone sent you up instead.”
Holding her fist tightly, A Miao felt cold all over. ”Who was it?”
”Ji Xue.”
Haha... Guessed at last.
A Miao covered her head with the quilt, curled up her body underneath, and lay down.
”I want to be alone.”
Her muffled voice came from under the quilt. Shen Xinglan stopped in midair and paused. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
A Miao listened to his footsteps and waited until he left before revealing her head.
”Why... I didn't do anything. Why does everyone hold on to me...” Tears ran down her cheeks, and A Miao bit her lip to keep from crying out loud.
Shen Xinglan went into the study room, where Shen I and Shen II had been waiting for him for a long time.
