There were bite marks embedded deeply on her lip. Li Manni held onto her as though she was a life-saving straw. She pulled hard at Xia Ruoxin’s hand and grabbed her towards her body. She had no wish to die, but she had not thought that her actions were pushing Xia Ruoxin towards her death.

The two swapped positions in an instant, with the speed of lightning. Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes quietly. She welcomed death. It would be a release.

She loosened her grip on Li Manni’s clothing. However, she had not expected the car to change its direction so swiftly, right at Li Manni.

It made Xia Ruoxin’s earlier actions seemed akin to her pushing Li Manni.

“NO!” A desperate voice screamed.

Followed by a screeching sound… Li Manni was thrown off like a torn rag doll. Xia Ruoxin turned pale at the sight as her hands started to shake by her side.

Even her whole body felt cold, colder than the winter. That cold resembled her body being submerged in ice—it was really terrifying.

She looked down at her own feet but powerless to take another step forward.

Meanwhile, blood appeared at the corner of Li Manni’s lips.

The gray sky stifled everyone’s emotions.

“Xia Ruoxin, what have you done?” An angry voice roared. Suddenly, before she could turn around, her knees bent. The man had kicked her legs ruthlessly with his, almost fracturing her bones.

She looked up, and her lips moved frequently, but nothing came out.

Chu Lui!

“Xia Ruoxin, if anything happens to Manni, I will tear you into pieces.” There was a malicious look in his eyes as he ran hastily towards Li Manni.

What a Xia Ruoxin. She had already caused Yixuan’s death; wasn’t that enough? She even wanted his Manni dead.

He would not let her off. Never.

“Manni, don’t be afraid. I will take you to a doctor.” The woman in his arms was lifeless. It reminded him of the time when he first saw Yixuan’s car, burnt beyond recognition. His heart had almost stopped. He had already been through it once; why must he go through the pain of losing his love a second time?

They were getting married. Almost getting married.

He gave Xia Ruoxin an icy look again. It broke her heart into pieces.

Xia Ruoxin rested her hand at her stomach and slightly lowered her long eyelashes. That was a kind of despair which one couldn’t bear to explain.

Why didn’t he trust her, why? He had never believed her.

She had not caused Xia Yixuan’s death; neither had she thought of harming Li Manni. Why would no one believe her?

There were a lot of noises surrounding her, and a crowd had gathered as they gesticulated at her. That reporter continued to take her photos.

Chu Lui was not here. They had left, leaving her here to be subjected to the gesticulation by others. As she stood up, her heart ached from the pain in her kneecaps.

Her hand lay rested on her stomach. It was her legs that were injured, but why did she feel the pain here, too?

It hurt.

Subconsciously, she walked ahead, and all the gesticulation stopped at once. The bitter despair from this overly pale woman had infected everyone, making them unwilling to continue with their accusations.

“Actually, it was not like that.” A man voiced out at this moment.

“She did not push that woman. She saved her, but that woman kept holding onto her. If it wasn’t for the car’s sudden change in direction, she would have been dead now.”

However, Xia Ruoxin did not stop walking. He would not believe even if he had witnessed it or if it was the truth. No one would.
