Chapter 356: I Know You Didn’t Do It on Purpose
Everyone was taken aback.
Li Meng and Lin Kerou were stunned. Gu Mingye secretly applauded her and Mo Shengyun cheered out loud. “Good job!”
Mu Donglin bent down to conceal his pain, but the remark enraged him.
Straightening his back, he saw Mu Xichen standing silently in front of Li Beinian with cold eyes.
There was a warning look in his deep eyes.
He was obviously protecting her.
Mu Donglin suddenly gritted his teeth and resisted the pain. “Li Beinian, I’m your fiancé!”
“I don’t need you anymore.” Li Beinian sneered. “You can go protect your precious white moonlight.”
Li Beinian had already taken off the kelp that had been tied to her as she looked at Lin Kerou. “You’re claiming that your words angered me and it made me give you a slap? After that, I pushed you into the sea and wanted you to drown, am I right?”
Her words were very clear and her emotions were stable.
She stood up straight. Under the blazing sun, her shadow resembled an elderly person.
She had a condescending look on her slightly narrowed eyes. Although her face was pale, she seemed to look down on those she gazed at.
Lin Kerou felt embarrassed and held her bath towel tightly.
Li Meng was furious and shouted, “What a lowly thing you are! You have no remorse after trying to commit murder! You’re so shameless!”
“Shut up!” Mo Shengyun said in irritation. “From the start to the end, you’re just making so much noise. Aren’t we trying to understand the situation now?”
“Do we have to?” Li Meng’s voice grew louder. “It’s just this cheap woman who’s jealous of the relationship between Kerou and Young Master Mu. Although they have a marriage contract, Young Master Mu still loves Kerou. Otherwise, why would he jump into the water immediately when he saw Kerou while Li Bei…”
“Shut up!” Mu Donglin demanded. “If any more insults come out of your mouth, I’ll rip it apart!”
Li Meng’s voice faded and she looked indignant.
At the same time, she felt a cold, piercing gaze.
She looked up at Mu Xichen’s direction.
However, it seemed to be an illusion because Mu Xichen was not looking at her.
For no reason, Li Meng started to panic.
She hugged Lin Kerou and tried to divert her attention away. “Don’t be afraid.”
Li Beinian looked at Lin Kerou and said, “Tell me. Yes or no?”
Lin Kerou was frightened by her attitude. She trembled a little and realized that her winning trick was not working effectively.
After some thought, she tried to answer in a vague manner. “I know you didn’t do it on purpose…”
Li Beinian became impatient. “Stop saying those useless things. Just tell me, yes or no?”
Mu Donglin looked at Li Beinian and felt that she was even more dazzling.
She was obviously at a disadvantage at this time, but she seemed to have no awareness of it.
The tone of questioning made her seem strong and overbearing.
Lin Kerou shivered more violently and whispered, “Yes.”
“I want to kill you. I’m jealous of you. I was the one who hit you first. After that, I was trapped by the kelp and almost lost my life, am I right?”
Lin Kerou immediately panicked.
The sun was high up in the sky at noon.
With a wry smile on her face, the piercing light enveloped Li Beinian as she walked step by step.
Li Beinian stood in front of Lin Kerou and asked in a condescending manner, “Since I wanted to kill you, why would I jump in then? Am I crazy?”
