Bai Yuejie’s face turned several shades paler with each word she spoke.
Uncle Liu’s face turned completely dark, "Miss Ye!"
Shi Mei, seeing Bai Yuejie looking , felt a secret pleasure in her heart, but her face showed panic.
As if she finally realized the two of them didn’t get along, she quickly said, "Sister Ye, Sister Bai, please say less," then Shi Mei lowered her head to take a sip of the porridge, "It’s really delicious."
Ye Tiao took a glance at Shi Mei, her face filled with disappointment, and flung her sleeve, "You’ll regret it someday."
Then, Ye Tiao turned around and left.
Shi Mei never knew that Ye Tiao could act .
She couldn’t help but applaud her inwardly.
But her face showed awkwardness, and she said, "Sister Bai, she’s just like that, don’t mind her."
Bai Yuejie forced a pale smile, "How could I? For Xiao Wu’s sake, I wouldn’t take it to heart."
Shi Mei asked in a whisper, "Xiao Wu, is that Tang Wu? The singer who was deeply in love with Mr. Shi back then?"
Bai Yuejie nodded, "Yes, back then Xiao Wu and Brother Ling Yan were deeply in love, but unfortunately, afterwards, Xiao Wu didn’t have the fortune to stay by Brother Ling Yan’s side."
Shi Mei sneered in her heart.
Dared to say it, indeed.
Bai Yuejie continued, "Xiao Wu was my best friend, as well as Ye Zi’s best friend, but later Xiao Wu died, and her heart saved my life, which is why Ye Zi came to hate me."
Shi Mei hung her head as if afraid, the hand holding the bowl slightly trembling, her voice laced with a bit of fear, "So, she really died, didn’t she?"
Bai Yuejie looked at her, asking, "What do you mean?"
Shi Mei shook her head, lowered it, took a big gulp from the bowl of porridge, and mumbled as if saying something. However, her voice was too soft to be clearly heard.
Bai Yuejie found it strange and looked towards Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, closed the door to the ward, and whispered to Bai Yuejie, "Let me try."
Bai Yuejie nodded and took a step back.
Uncle Liu looked at Shi Mei, who was lowering her head and drinking the porridge, and took out the retro long-chain pocket watch he always wore on his chest, speaking softly, "Shi Mei."
Hearing her name, Shi Mei raised her head with panic showing, "What... What?"
"Do you see this pocket watch?" Uncle Liu gently swayed the watch.
Shi Mei stuttered, somewhat frightened, "I... I see it."
"Keep your eyes on it, don’t be scared, don’t be nervous, right now, you’re in a dark room."
Shi Mei’s gaze followed the pocket watch as it moved, making it seem like everything in front of her turned dark.
A nameless feeling in her heart began to rise, along with an unknown fear, piercing deeply into her core.
Uncle Liu was hypnotizing her.
Shi Mei, who had known Bai Yuejie for so long, for the first time learnt that this butler by her side was capable of this.
Bai Yuejie sure was surrounded by hidden talents!
"Now you are lying on a sofa, you’re very relaxed, think about the day of the car accident, what happened."
Shi Mei couldn’t help but follow the pocket watch’s movement, as if her body was lying on a soft sofa, completely quiet around her.
She could clearly feel her heartbeat, steady and rhythmic.
Bai Yuejie held her breath subconsciously, not daring to make a sound, watching the scene unfolding in front of her.
Shi Mei’s eyes indeed began to grow dull, staring vacantly ahead.
