Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife Chapter 1279 - Will Her Food be Poisoned? (Part Two)

If Bai Jing hadn’t reminded or advised her, Su Yue wouldn’t have taken such a step.

Bai Jing pressed her lips and said, “You need not thank me. You just need to be happy.”

She rose and said to Su Yue, “I’m going out for a while. I will be back later.”

“Bai Jing, why were you so angry just now?”

Su Yue was very cautious when she probed into Bai Jing’s private matters.

She warily glanced at Bai Jing as she still could remember how worked up Bai Jing was regarding her being drugged.

Bai Jing maintained a calm facade even though she was upset. “Lei Yong wanted me to accompany some old man. I didn’t want to do it.”

She peered at the ground, looking helpless and pitiful.

“How can he do that!” Su Yue angrily straightened her back and lashed out. “He is a jerk! How horrible!”

“I have no choice.” Bai Jing sighed helplessly once more, and she reiterated once more, “But I rejected him, so don’t worry about me. He won’t use me so easily.”

“Good.” Su Yue nodded and held on to Bai Jing’s hand. “If you don’t like them, then don’t return to that house. I hate that brother of yours. In fact, he is not even your brother and he is so horrible to you.”

Su Yue was a person who didn’t hide her emotions, especially towards Bai Jing.

And it included her thoughts and feelings.

Bai Jing merely smiled but with a tinge of sarcasm.

Did Su Yue a.s.sume that everyone was like her?

Did Su Yue think that she wanted to go back to that house? What choice did she have?

She had lost her father, her pillar of support. She was all alone in this cruel and harsh world where status and wealth meant everything.

She could only depend on herself, and she swore to make her life better. If she carried on being such a weak and fragile girl, she was bound to get bullied all her life.

Someday, she will make those who had bullied her pay for what they have done.

Bai Jing tightly clenched her fists and there was a cold gleam in her eyes. It made Su Yue cower for a bit, and she asked softly, “Bai Jing, are you okay?”

Bai Jing snapped to her senses as she shook her head. “Nothing much. I’ll get going.”

She pulled her hand away from Su Yue.

Su Yue watched worriedly as Bai Jing left the room with her bag.

She felt that Bai Jing had changed, and she knew that it was all her adopted family’s fault.

Su Yue regretted that she didn’t stop Bai Jing from going back to her mother. She should have begged her third sister-in-law to help her.

She got lost in her worries while she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Her phone suddenly rang and it jolted Su Yue back to reality. She glanced at the screen—Xuxu was on the other line.

She picked up her phone and answered, “Third sister-in-law.”

Xuxu asked, “Yueyue, did you attend cla.s.s today?”

Su Yue smiled. “Yes I did and the teacher even praised me.”

“Really?” Xuxu chuckled and said, “You’ve improved.”

Su Yue was about to say something when she received an incoming call. It was Ming Ansheng.

Guilt struck her and she placed the phone to her ear once more. She whispered, “Third sister-in-law, is there anything else?”

Xuxu sounded suspicious and asked, “Why?”

Su Yue was so guilty that she gripped her phone nervously. “I’m just asking.”

“You silly girl.” Xuxu replied, “I was just worried about you, that’s all.”
