You Owe Me, My Love

Song Xiyu was slightly taken aback by Bai Rong’s coldness.

She had assumed that Bai Rong was a gentle young lady but it turned out that she was actually a stern and fierce talker. Her attitude was quite different from Song Xiyu’s expectations.

“I think there’s still something that Mingchen hasn’t told you yet.” Song Xiyu lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.

“What is it?” Bai Rong had a bad feeling about it.

“Mingchen is rather fond of you, maybe even more than I have expected. He has been giving his all to protect you from harm’s way so that you can be warm and safe. However, this peaceful safety zone, separated from the world of danger, is built and sustained by Mingchen’s sweat and blood. Do you know that, Ms. Bai?” Song Xiyu smiled but her eyes were full of pain.

“I do not. Can you give a clearer explanation?” Bai Rong creased her brows.

“You’ve met Su Zheng, I suppose. He’s Su Wanning’s father and the current first-in-command of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The man is blackmailing Mingchen’s father. So we have promised Mingchen that if he could find out who Governor Cheng’s murderer is, we will agree to him marrying you; but if he can’t, he must marry Su Wanning. When we agreed to that, we had hoped that he wouldn’t succeed so we deliberately leaked out information about him.”

Bai Rong stood up and could not keep her composure, “Because you leaked the information on purpose, it led to Tang Xiaojiu’s death!”

Song Xiyu did not look at Bai Rong directly, “We thought that there would be people who did not want Mingchen to find Tang Xiaojiu and prevent him from doing so. But we did not expect that it would result in Tang Xiaojiu being murdered.”

“Mrs. Gu, how could a smart woman like you not have predicted this?” Bai Rong mocked her with sharp words.

She did not expect Gu Mingchen’s parents to harm their own son.

“I admit we were selfish but this was all for Mingchen. Even though it is proven that Governor Cheng’s murderer wasn’t Tianhang nor Mingchen, the trade between Tian Hang and Governor Cheng still exists. Whether they let this case slide or not depends on Su Zheng. You might not know this, but do you remember the day when you were taken away by your husband, Su Xuyan?” Song Xiyu reminded her.
