Su Yue opened the blue box and looked back on those memories.
Bai Jing made a bracelet for her using red threads.
She took out the bracelet and placed it on her slender wrist. Her wrist was as fair as porcelain, and so she looked good in all colors.
Su Yue leaned against the bed frame after she wore it. She smiled to herself.
“Yueyue?”
Xuxu’s voice sounded.
Without waiting for Su Yue to answer, Xuxu opened the door.
“Third sister-in-law.” Su Yue smiled at Xuxu.
Xuxu was wearing a dark red, low cut dress that enveloped her shapely figure. Her waist-long hair plimented her outfit and it made her look extremely womanly.
She sat down next to Su Yue. “What are you doing?”
Her eyes darted to Su Yue’s wrist and she saw her bracelet. “I saw this bracelet before when I came in to tidy the room for you. I thought of throwing it, but I kept it in the drawer instead.”
Xuxu thought that it didn’t seem like something valuable to Su Yue since she didn’t bring it along with her, so it probably wasn’t something important.
Su Yue hung her head and uttered, “Bai Jing gave this to me as my birthday present.”
Xuxu was dumbfounded when she heard her.
“Bai Jing gave this to you?” She closely studied Su Yue’s expression.
Su Yue nodded. “Yeah, when I turned 18. She made this herself and I really think that it was very nice.”
She raised her head and glanced at her wrist. “It still looks nice now. Since we won’t be seeing each other, I shall keep it as a souvenir.”
She twisted her wrist to have a better look. There were sorrow and longing in her eyes.
Xuxu tightly clenched her fists and hatred flashed across her eyes, but she remained calm as her heart silently ached for Su Yue.
She glanced at Su Yue with a thoughtful expression. “Yueyue, I hear that Ming Ansheng took Xiaojiao away.”
“Yeah,” Su Yue responded without looking at Xuxu.
Xuxu pressed her lips, looking conflicted and hesitant.
Finally, she made up her mind as she glanced at Su Yue. “Ming Ansheng’s grandfather didn’t orchestrate that accident.”
Su Yue’s eyes widened in shock at the mention of the car accident. She grabbed Xuxu’s arms and spluttered, “Third sister-in-law, how did you know?!”
That accident almost killed Jiaojiao, and she still had recurring nightmares of Jiaojiao lying in a pool of blood.
Xuxu answered, “The police investigated and concluded that it wasn’t Ming Ansheng’s grandfather.”
It wasn’t Ming Ansheng’s grandfather? Su Yue tightened her grip on Xuxu’s arms. She was shaking in suspense. “Who was it?”
Who wanted to kill her?
Xuxu winced from the pain, and she frowned. But she still managed a smile and said, “It is a woman who was secretly in love with your third brother for a long time.”
She paused and pondered for a moment. “You know how attractive your third brother is, and he charms women so easily. Even until now, there are still throngs of women throwing themselves at him. But his vicious tongue has offended plenty as well.”
Su Yue was peering at her, looking confused.
Xuxu understood why she was confused. So she added, “That woman knew that we dote on you very much. And she found out that Ming Ansheng’s grandfather disapproved of you. So, she decided to take revenge and then push the blame to Ming Ansheng’s grandfather.”
