You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 441

Chapter 441 A Fox That Is Always Ready To Pounce

Su Xuyan thought Bai Rong was in disbelief and explained, “When Gu Mingchen went to Stephen’s island, Su Zheng sent his men over as well. They spotted Xia He, and once she left, Su Zheng kept track of her whereabouts. Su Zheng thought Gu Mingchen let Xia He go on purpose and would come to save her once he heard that she got kidnapped. What Su Zheng didn’t know was that everything was fake from the very start.”

Bai Rong frowned in suspicion. “Then, what role are you playing in all this? Are you with Shen Yiyan, Sheng Dongcheng, or Su Zheng? You seem to know plenty. Also, did someone ask you to research the virus that you’re studying or did you start it on your own? What exactly do you want?”

Su Xuyan downed all of his wine and put his glass down. “Who I am and what I want isn’t important. I just want to know where Bai Rong is and how much you know about her. Tell me everything.”

Bai Rong pressed her lips together in silence.

“Or perhaps you’re Bai Rong?” Su Xuyan stared at her suspiciously.

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat. She remembered that Su Xuyan was an extremely dangerous man. If he realized that she was actually Bai Rong, things would go in a completely different direction.

“I can tell you two things that can prove that I’m not Bai Rong,” Bai Rong said after downing her wine. She put her empty glass on the bar and stared right into Su Xuyan’s eyes. “I organized Liu Yan’s escape and got Aaron to help me.”

“That’s believable seeing as you two are close friends.” Su Xuyan tried his luck.

“I even organized for Liu Yan’s parents to follow her, but I told Shen Yiyan where they were going and-” Bai Rong paused as her gaze darkened. “Someone under Shen Yiyan leaked their whereabouts and

sent someone to kill Liu Yan but killed her mother by mistake. Don’t tell me Sheng Dongcheng was the one who killed Liu Yan.”

“Sheng Dongcheng wouldn’t wait until now if he wanted to kill her. Are you really not Bai Rong?” Su Xuyan’s gaze locked firmly on her.

“If I were Bai Rong, would Gu Mingchen have chased me out? I can tell you exactly what he said to me.” The corner of Bai Rong’s mouth twitched as a quick shadow of sorrow flitted across her eyes.

“What did he say?” Su Xuyan asked.

Bai Rong raised an eyebrow and said casually, “He said, ‘You’re nothing like Bai Rong. Bai Rong could never lie with a straight face as you did, nor would she kill, commit crimes or do anything so rude or cruel.’ After that, he chased me out. I didn’t even get to take my clothes from his house.”

Su Xuyan scoffed. “I already told you that you’re nothing but a cheap copy. He could never love you the way he did Bai Rong. All he’ll ever take note of are your flaws.”

“Shen Yiyan only allowed me to show up to become Bai Rong’s substitute. Since that got blown out of the water, he will probably arrange other jobs for me. Besides, I was merely following his every command. I’ll take that as a win, so I should be allowed to leave it behind me,” Bai Rong said as she walked over and placed a hand on Su Xuyan’s waist.

Su Xuyan stared at her.

Bai Rong smirked seductively. “Is your proposal for me to start working for you still up for grabs?”

Su Xuyan took her hand. “You’re just a cunning fox who can’t go a day without lying. I bet no one can tell a truth from a lie when it’s out of your mouth. If I let you work with me, you’ll probably gobble me up without a trace.”

He tossed her hand away rather strongly.

Bai Rong allowed herself to fall onto the chair from his swing and looked at him coldly. “Su Xuyan, you’re one weird guy.”

Su Xuyan patted his clothes slightly. “It’s none of your business whether I’m weird or not. In fact, I’m kind of curious. Why didn’t you let me kill Zhou Hailan? You have no reason to look out for her.”

Bai Rong sat on the chair and crossed her right knee over her left. “In order for one to still have a chance at life, we must give others a chance too. Zhou Hailan is Gu Mingchen’s ex-girlfriend after all. She’s one of the most important women in his life and one of the mothers of his kids. If Bai Rong comes back, who’s going to stand up for me?”

Bai Rong’s eyes suddenly sharpened murderously. “Am I supposed to show my true colors and really scare Gu Mingchen away once and for all?”

“Wu Nian, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Sheng Dongcheng isn’t someone you should mess with. Don’t blindly follow others only to get killed first in the end,” Su Xuyan said coldly.

Bai Rong scoffed and reached into her bag for the tape recorder, which she threw toward Su Xuyan.

Su Xuyan caught it and asked, “What is this?”

“I may not be able to get rid of Sheng Dongcheng, but this recording is enough for me to get rid of you.” Bai Rong smiled and looked at him confidently.

Su Xuyan frowned. “Wu Nian, what exactly do you want?”

“I want you dead…” Wu Nian said before pausing.

Su Xuyan glared at her furiously.

“However, that wouldn’t benefit me at all,” Wu Nian continued. “I just want us to be able to work together in the future and fight against the mutual enemies. The future isn’t set in stone. In ten years, you could be commander-in-chief, and so could I.”

“That’s quite the vision,” Su Xuyan said.

Wu Nian stood up. “I could say the same about you.”

“You’re prettier than Bai Rong, but your heart is ten times more evil.”

“One has to be ruthless in order to become a great person.”

Su Xuyan placed the tape recorder on the bar. There was no need for him to take it away since he knew Bai Rong probably had a copy anyway. “Let’s keep in touch.”

Wu Nian watched Su Xuyan walk out of the room and disappear from her line of sight.

Her tense bundle of nerves finally relaxed and she collapsed on her chair.

All parents would tell their children about lying being a sin and not to lie, accompanied by the story of the boy who cried wolf.

However, the older one became, he would realize how dishonest the world turned out to be.

Anyone from salespeople to actors and the government lied. Even some relationships and values were fake.

Unfortunately, Bai Rong had been lying a lot. One day, all of those lies would come back to bite her and she knew she couldn’t do anything to stop that.

Her phone rang.

Bai Rong came back to her senses and saw Aaron’s name on the display. She smiled. “What’s up?”

“I’m at the airport. Are you free to join us for a meal? My grandmother would love to meet you,” Aaron said warmly.

“Come to International Hotel in A City. How many people are you with? I’ll help you all book rooms.” Bai Rong got up and walked toward the reception counter.

“No, that’s too much trouble.”

“You helped me arrange everything when I was in Ustrana after all. Now, it is my turn to help you since you’re in my country.” As Bai Rong walked toward the elevator, the doors opened and Gu Mingchen stepped out.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
