"Bai Yuechen, what happened to you?" Chu Meng was shocked, then suddenly recalled something, her expression turning unnatural, "Could... could it be my father ordered someone to beat you?"

"It was Ling Changfeng," Bai Yuechen gritted his teeth in anger, "Our plan to entrap Yuan Chun was discovered by Ling Changfeng, and this was his warning to me."

Ling Changfeng was avenging Yuan Chun.

Chu Meng’s heart burned with jealousy, "Why? Last time we were the ones who were turned against by Yuan Chun, we were the ones at a disadvantage, and our reputation was tarnished. The drug was clearly in Yuan Chun’s water cup, but it was us who drank it... This must have been done by that bitch Yuan Chun. Why does Ling Changfeng have the right to retaliate against us?"

Bai Yuechen looked at her as if she were a fool, "Just because he is the Young Marshal of Haidu."

"In all of Haidu, it’s Ling Changfeng who calls the shots. If that plan had succeeded, we would have had leverage over Yuan Chun and wouldn’t have feared her telling Ling Changfeng. After all, it was a scandal, and Yuan Chun would want to keep it tightly under wraps to avoid public disgrace, but we underestimated her, and our scheme failed, so we must bear the consequences of that failure."

"Chu Meng, you can’t be naive enough to think that after we tried to manipulate Ling Changfeng’s woman, he would pretend he didn’t know, right?"

Chu Meng choked up.

She had hoped that Ling Changfeng would ignore Yuan Chun, even if she died, he wouldn’t feel a thing. But is that possible?

The entire city of Haidu knew that Ling Changfeng was madly in love with Yuan Chun.

Just as she was madly in love with Ling Changfeng.

Chu Meng lowered her eyes, hiding the intense jealousy within, "Bai Yuechen, where is this place? If you weren’t the one who abducted me, then who on earth abducted me and intentionally brought me here to you?"

"This is the slums; you, Second Miss Chu, have probably never been here, have you? Haha, it’s my first time here too."

Bai Yuechen gave a bitter smile, "As for who abducted you, who else could it be but Ling Changfeng? Our common enemies are only Ling Changfeng and Yuan Chun. A weak woman like Yuan Chun, even with money, couldn’t have done this. Only Ling Changfeng, he is retaliating against both of us."

Chu Meng’s face turned deathly pale, "Changfeng brother is so ruthless to me, I..."

"Hah...still calling him Changfeng brother, Chu Meng, wake up, Ling Changfeng will never love you in this lifetime. His heart is only for Yuan Chun."

Chu Meng, tears streaming down her face, shook her head desperately and ranted, "Impossible, Changfeng brother is so outstanding, and Yuan Chun, that heartless and despicable woman, how could she deserve someone as perfect as Changfeng brother? I’m the one who deserves him."

"It must be that despicable woman speaking ill of me in front of Changfeng brother, that’s why he won’t love me. That must be it. As long as that despicable woman dies, Changfeng brother will love me."

"Yuan Chun, you filthy woman, why don’t you just die sooner? Why are you still alive to torment me..."

Her delicate face twisted with rage and horror.

She cursed hysterically.

After a long time, Chu Meng finally stopped and asked, "Bai Yuechen, what day is it today?"

"Today’s Wednesday, September 8th."

Chu Meng’s eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

She pulled out the pocket watch hanging around her neck, glanced at it, then stared in panic as cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "Impossible, impossible, impossible... I... I was just napping at the Liangxi Chu Family’s Old Mansion half an hour ago; it was only 2:30. How...how did I end up in Haidu? How did I get here?"
