Bai Xi tightly held the dagger, and the expression on her face changed. Then, her lifeless eyes turned and fell on Zhao Yuan.
The bomb on her abdomen was tied very tightly and it hurt her a lot, but she could not act cute and innocent to anyone now. The usual way she dealt with other people did not work.
Under Bai Xi’s gaze, Zhao Yuan could not help but take two steps back, and said a little reluctantly, “Xixi, don’t be impulsive. These people are all liars.
They’re just playing with us. Don’t be fooled.”
Bai Shao furrowed his brows. “Jie, calm down. I think that even if you do as he says, he might not fulfill his promise.”
Bai Xi’s fingers were white because she was using so much force. She slowly stepped forward, a chilling smile on her face.
“Xiao Shao, don’t you always listen to me? You’re in good health. I’ll be gentle. Don’t be afraid.”
Bai Shao was so shocked that his tone changed. “Jie! Don’t be like this!”
Zhao Yuan put Bai Shao behind her to protect him. How Bai Xi acted was too unfamiliar, and her heart trembled slightly. She swallowed her saliva and said, “Xixi, put down the knife first. The production crew must be thinking of a way to save us, and Bai Lin…”
She had not finished speaking when Bai Xi directly stabbed her. Zhao Yuan screamed and was pulled away by Bai Shao. She fell to the ground, saving herself from the violent stab.
“Bai Xi!” Bai Shao was so anxious that he did not even call her sister. He cooperated with Fan Feng and tried to subdue her.
The boss crossed his arms and watched the show from the side. Seeing that Bai Xi could not hurt anyone even with a knife, he snorted and raised his chin. ‘Go help her.”
Except for the injured Jin Ran, everyone else was tied up with ropes. They could only watch as Bai Xi who usually claimed to be gentle and kind walked toward them.
Zhao Yuan was in despair as she shouted, “Bai Xi! Wake up! I’m your mother!”
Bai Xi sneered. Under the threat of death, she finally took off the mask that she had worn for a lifetime. “So what? I’m just a tool for you to show off on the spot. If there’s anything that you don’t like about me, you’ll abandon me without hesitation and go to your own daughter Bai Lin!”
Zhao Yuan’s eyes were red. Because she was so sad, her voice was trembling. “Bai Xi, ever since you were adopted by me, I’ve always treated you like my own daughter. Even Bai Lin didn’t receive such treatment from me, but you actually treated me like this today!’
“Hmph, you’re better to me than Bai Lin all because of my hard work!” Bai Xi sneered, “When I was eight years old, I deliberately spilled the hot water and framed Bai Lin. You guys were so gullible. You didn’t pursue the matter and just sent her to the countryside.”
Zhao Yuan was stunned. “You—What do you mean?
Bai Shao failed to react for a moment. He stared at Bai Xi. “So it’s been you all along? You want us to hate Bai Lin and be nice only to you?”
“It’s all because you’re stupid! I was only eight years old when you sent Bai Lin to the countryside. I could just lie to you and you’d believe me.”
Zhao Yuan stared at Bai Xi with hatred. “I really regret adopting you back then. If it wasn’t for you, our family wouldn’t have had such a big conflict with Bai Lin.”
The feeling of controlling other people’s life and death was very satisfying. Bai Xi had no choice before and had worked hard to make use of everything, pretending that she was a kind and weak existence that needed other people’s protection.
It was that man who had given her this opportunity.
Thinking of this, she turned around and thanked him sincerely. The man waved his hand indifferently and urged her to act as soon as possible.
Bai Xi squatted down and grabbed Zhao Yuan’s hair, her eyes cold. “Don’t blame everything on me. Dad is tyrannical and chauvinistic, Bai Shao is an idiot who doesn’t stand his ground, and you’re selfish and weak. You’re good to me because I can be flaunted and I’m obedient enough. Bai Lin isn’t that kind of person. Even without me, your relationship wouldn’t have been harmonious.”
Zhao Yuan was speechless.
Li Yan moved with difficulty, twisted his body, and put himself in front of
Zhao Yuan.
He looked at Bai Xi affectionately. “Xiao Xi, I know you aren’t doing this on purpose. If you still like me and are willing to listen to my advice, then put down the knife.”
Bai Xi’s family owed her a lot, but he had always been very good to Bai Xi. Now, he was probably the only person who could persuade her.
Li Yan thought with confidence.
[I didn’t expect Bai Xi to be this kind of person. I only know that she’s not a good person, but I didn’t expect her to be so bad.]
[Just because that man said there’s no live broadcast, she believed him? And stopped pretending? She called others idiots, but she’s actually not that smart herself..]
