Chapter 773: Sacrificing To Protect Something More Important
Bai Jingrou glanced at the clip being played. “I clearly turned the surveillance cameras off beforehand.”
“I sent someone else to install a pinhole camera.” Fang Xinxin answered her question.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“But, I personally witnessed Doctor Guo Yi injecting Long Jingyuan and Long Xuan with the medicine that would kill them. I even watched as they stopped breathing. Why are they still alive?”
“I arranged for criminals on death sentences to put on high-quality synthetic masks and for them to replace the two of them. You were nervous at the time, and stood behind Doctor Guo Yi as a nurse. Hence, you failed to gain a clear look at them. The people who died were criminals on death sentences. As for the reason they were willing to cooperate, it’s because I promised to give their families a sum of money. In any case, they were doomed to die. Thanks to you, however, they were able to die comfortably and with a peaceful mind.”
“I see.” Bai Jingrou suddenly laughed maniacally. She had completely lost the facade of a refined and graceful lady which she usually maintained. “Fang Xinxin, you are indeed capable. It’s no wonder that you were able to become Madam Bai!”
Fang Xinxin smiled mockingly. “You’re finally admitting that you desire the position of Madam Bai.”
“Indeed. By this point, there’s no use in begging for mercy. I also have nothing else to hide.” Bai Jingrou suddenly turned towards Bai Qinghao emotionally. “Cousin, you’re so outstanding. You say, how could there be a woman who doesn’t love you?”
Her tone became despondent. “We’re not related by blood. Although I live in the Bai family and the outsiders consider us to be close family members, I’ve never been able to approach you. You’ve always looked down on me. I only wanted to become good enough for you. That is why I became foolish and impersonated being the Long family’s successor…”
Bai Qinghao’s lips twitched into a faint, cold smile. “You’re greedy, vain and full of heinous schemes. You sure know how to push the blame onto me. Was the wealth and glory that the Bai family gave you insufficient? You clearly knew that Fang Xinxin and I have been engaged since we were children. Our marriage was inevitable. No matter how pitiful you act, death is your only consequence!”
“Cousin…” Bai Jingrou turned flustered. action
As long as she gained a hint of sympathy from this man, she would be able to escape death. “Cousin, I’m a member of the Bai family. You can’t take my life just because I made a mistake against the Long family…”
“Your mother has already released you from the Bai family’s name.” Bai Qinghao informed her of the truth coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No…” Bai Jingrou turned to her birth mother in disbelief. “Mom, how could you do such a thing?”
“I’m sorry, Jingrou.” Huang Zhishu appeared deeply apologetic. “At the time, you were being held by Bai Qinghao. I thought I would be able to exchange your freedom in this way. I never expected…”
“You didn’t expect for Cousin to be even more ruthless after taking the Bai family’s name away from me, did you?” Bai Jingrou suddenly turned miserable. “After all, I’m not your birth daughter. I’m only an adopted child. I can’t blame you for abandoning me for the sake of holding onto your own position in the Bai family.”
“Jingrou…” Huang Zhishu appeared heartbroken. “I’ve always treated you like my own…”
In fact, Bai Chenxi and Jingrou were both her blood-related children. However, this secretly had to be kept safe, no matter what.
With the way the situation had escalated, they could only make a sacrifice for something more important and give up on Jingrou.
Bai Jingrou also understood that there were no benefits to dragging her mother and brother down with her. Her chances for survival were dependent on their safety!
Thus, she said so intentionally.
Bai Chenxi also reprimanded her with an expression of heartache. “Sister, you were too foolish. How could you commit murder for money!”
