BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1280 - Wrestle
The hatred in Pei Yan’s eyes was deep. “You still dare to make excuses? Why would Yixuan have you in mind if you didn’t seduce him? Xia Yingluo, you’re a bitch, a shameless slut since birth!”
Xia Yingluo saw she was going crazy and didn’t want to agitate her further, so she said, “Calm down, Pei Yan. Me and Zhao Yixuan are things of the past, you and him are the most compatible. Let us leave here and I promise you that I’ll try my best to guarantee your marriage with him. I’ll use my family’s power if I have to. No matter what, I’ll make him marry you.”
Pei Yan’s expression turned even gloomier. “Xia Yingluo, what are you? How dare you boast about being richer and powerful in front of me? Aren’t you just Li Lei’s daughter, what’s so great about being Li Lei’s daughter? Your Mother is the cheap slut that my Uncle didn’t want back then! Pah!”
This time, no matter how cultivated Xia Yingluo was, she couldn’t hold it in.
It was okay to scold her, but to drag her Mother into this as well?
She glanced at Pei Yan and her voice turned cold. “Who are you to mention my Mother? Your Uncle loved my Mother for an eternity and has yet to even marry. What about you? Hehe, you can’t even settle a small Zhao Yixuan. Who’s the lousy one here, it’s obvious, isn’t it?”
Suddenly, Pei Yan slapped Xia Yingluo with a “smack”. The truth was always the most painful and she couldn’t take it. Why did so many people like Xia Yingluo, while she only wanted one Zhao Yixuan and yet couldn’t obtain him? “Yixuan won’t love you.” Her expression was frantic and she glared fiercely at Xia Yingluo. She brandished a knife from her bag. “If I cut your face up, do you think he’ll still love you?”
Xia Yingluo only felt half of her face go numb from her slap. Because of the muscle relaxant, her whole body was powerless and she couldn’t move a single step.
Seeing Pei Yan’s knife approach, Jin Ling’er who had been curled up in a corner suddenly pounced forward and clutched deadly onto Pei Yan’s hand that held the knife. “Put the knife down!” Jin Ling’er yelled loudly. “I won’t let you harm Yingluo!”
At her pounce, the knife that had been able to slash ferociously onto Xia Yingluo’s cheeks changed directions, sliding past Xia Yingluo’s jade-like fair cheeks and leaving behind a trail of a faint bloody mark. The knife stabbed into Jin Ling’er’s arm.
Jin Ling’er yelped in pain but still charged at Pei Yan without regard for her own safety. The two of them tangled up together.
“Ling’er!” Xia Yingluo yelled in worry. She saw that Pei Yan had pinned Jin Ling’er onto the ground and was overwhelmed with worry.
She could only hate herself for having been injected by a fluid and hence, being unable to move. Otherwise, she would have come forward and immediately take down Pei Yan! [Move quickly, move quickly...] She chanted in her heart, exerting all her energy and struggling on the bed. In her body, a distinct heat flowed and spread in her, and she didn’t know if the drug was losing its effect or if a miracle had happened, but she could actually move with difficulty. “Ling’er!” She called again and struggled off the bed to help Jin Ling’er.
On the rug, the two people’s fighting was even more intense.
Pei Yan was stronger than Jin Ling’er and had her pinned down and defenseless. In the fighting, Jin Ling’er tried to take the knife that had fallen at the side, but it was snatched first by Pei Yan. Perhaps the adrenaline kicked in her, but she actually stabbed Jin Ling’er!
At that moment, Xia Yingluo felt like her heartbeat was going to stop.
Just like in the movies, fresh blood oozed out, dying the carpet red. Jin Ling’er lost her strength and fell weakly into the puddle of blood like a broken, lifeless rag doll. Her beautiful eyes were opened wide and she lost her senses.
Xia Yingluo was scared out of her wits. She called again, “Ling’er!”
Pei Yan was also shocked by her own actions. The knife slipped from her hand and she stammered incoherently. “I, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Xia Yingluo struggled with the last energy in her and yelled at Pei Yan, “What are you waiting for? Call the ambulance!”
But Pei Yan didn’t dare to call and said, “She, she’s not right, right? If she dies, am I going to jail?”
Xia Yingluo was so angry she was going to explode, but she had no choice but to concede. “Hurry up and call the ambulance, then leave this place. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens. I’ll tell them that Zhao Yixuan did this. If you don’t call, Jin Ling’er won’t forgive you even if she becomes a ghost, and I’ll use all my lawyers, policemen and the Li family’s power to chase you to the end of the seas!”
Pei Family was so shocked she regained her senses and suddenly thought of how severe the consequences of offending the Li family were. Although she was a noble lady of the Pei family, she wasn’t direct to the heir and if anything happened, the Pei family might not be willing to protect her at all costs. Thinking of this, her expression changed.
Who knew if Xia Yingluo was telling the truth? What if she wouldn’t let her go, and went to find the Li family to take revenge on her instead? She might as well just kill Xia Yingluo here as well and end it all.
Xia Yingluo saw the murderous intention in her eyes and was suddenly afraid. She said, “Pei Yan, I advise you not to have any ill intentions towards me. Jin Ling’er’s death is unpredictable and she might be able to be rescued. At that time, it’ll be a small thing. But if you continue with this, you’ll turn from injuring someone to killing someone, then you’ll be a murderer. You’ll have to pay with your life.”
Pei Yan was a little hesitant, but she looked gloomily at Xia Yingluo, the murderous intention still in her eyes.
Xia Yingluo only felt her strength dissipating slowly. Her forehead was full of sweat, but she still forced herself to say, “Don’t waste your efforts. You can’t kill me. Do you believe I have a hundred different ways to kill you? Even if you are lucky and manage to kill me, can you handle the consequences of my parents’ rage? Once anything happens to me, they will surely move everyone to conduct the deepest investigation. You’re not a professional killer and you’re bound to leave behind some evidence. It’ll be an easy feat to find out the truth, then do you think the Pei family will protect you?”
Pei Yan was speechless. She understood her logic, and her murderous look slowly disappeared.
Xia Yingluo secretly heaved a sigh of relief and gently coaxed her. “Dial the numbers and then give me the phone. Then you can leave. I swear on my name that I won’t tell anyone that you were here.”
Pei Yan couldn’t decide.
Xia Yingluo’s voice seemed to have some sort of strange calming effect on her, and Pei Yan unconsciously fell into it. She took the phone and dialed the emergency number, handed it to Xia Yingluo and then escaped by herself in a rush.
Xia Yingluo couldn’t care about her. She quickly told the emergency personnel about the situation and then struggled to climb off the bed towards Jin Ling’er. She looked down at the girl who was breathing shallowly and said chokingly, “Ling’er, nothing can happen to you.”
