Chapter 642: Chapter 647: A Clean Break
After a long wait, Bai Yifan still hadn’t spoken, and Li Mu’er said impatiently, "That woman is still alive and kicking; do you really need to be like this?"
"Do you think locking yourself away in here will move her, and she’ll throw herself into your arms?"
"Stop dreaming. She doesn’t like you. No matter how much you do for her, she won’t like you!"
Bai Yifan turned around, his eyes a sheet of ice.
His gaze made Li Mu’er shrink back, but what followed was even more rage.
"Am I wrong? You’re pouring your heart out for her, and she’s being all lovey-dovey with another man. Don’t you hate her at all?"
"I’ve misjudged someone in the past, and from now on, you’re no longer my cousin."
He had always thought Li Mu’er was still a child, naïve and kind-hearted, but now he realized how utterly unreasonable she was.
She nearly killed so many people, and yet she didn’t feel a shred of guilt!
Did she truly regard human life as worthless in her eyes?
Li Mu’er blinked in disbelief; her cousin had never been so fierce with her.
If it weren’t for the door separating them, he might actually come over and beat her up.
"Do you still remember what you promised my mother?" Li Mu’er asked with tears in her eyes.
She looked pitiful with her tear-stained face, utterly heart wrenching.
Yet, Bai Yifan couldn’t feel the slightest pity for her.
"Before my aunt passed away, I promised her I would take good care of you, but back then, you weren’t the cold-hearted person you are now," Bai Yifan said, greatly disappointed with Li Mu’er.
He had given her chances, but all he got in return was her becoming even worse.
This time she dared to plot against someone else’s life, what about next time?
Li Mu’er scoffed lightly, "I was merely taking back what belongs to me. Is that also wrong?"
"First, even without Duo’er, you are still just my cousin. Second, I am a person, not someone’s property."
Pausing, Bai Yifan then said, "This time, for my aunt’s sake, I won’t punish you. I will arrange for someone to send you back, and from now on, you are not allowed to come back to White Stone Town."
From this point forward, everyone would go their separate ways.
Li Mu’er bit her lip in hatred, soon tasting the metallic tang of blood in her mouth.
Why did her cousin have to treat her like this?
All she did was love him and want to win his heart. Was that so wrong?
As for Qiao Duo’er, a mere village girl daring to covet her possessions deserved to die!
"Send Miss Li back, and deliver this letter to Master Li," Bai Yifan said to the people behind Li Mu’er.
To prevent Li Mu’er from harming Qiao Duo’er any further, he had kept her under surveillance.
Even if Li Mu’er returned to Mansion City, these two would not withdraw.
"Cousin, are you trying to take my life?" Li Mu’er asked, staring directly at Bai Yifan.
If her father knew about her actions, he would definitely kill her!
Bai Yifan said indifferently, "I’m just reminding my uncle to discipline you. As for the rest, take care of yourself."
Li Mu’er said each word deliberately, "I hate you."
"Thanks to you, I will never forgive myself in this lifetime," Bai Yifan said with a bitter smile.
Qiao Duo hated evil, and she would be utterly disgusted by his covering up for a suspect. Perhaps they wouldn’t even be able to remain friends in the future.
"Miss Li, the aura here is too gloomy; you should hurry up and leave," the young servant suggested, making a welcoming gesture.
Li Mu’er, holding back the tears about to spill from her eyes, fled from the prison like one escaping.
She had always been so proud, intelligent, and beautiful, receiving praises wherever she went. She never thought she would have such a humiliating moment.
