CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 221: A CHOICE BETWEEN TWO

Mu Beiting frowned, "Tell me, what do you really want?"

Xie Yunlu gave an evil smile, "I’ll have you make a choice!"

Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow, "What choice!"

Xie Yunlu’s eyes turned red, speaking madly, "Choose between Su Yuexin and Ye Anxin! I’ve captured both of them; today you choose to keep one, and the other will be pushed off!"

It was only after Xie Yunlu spoke that Mu Beiting realized that Su Yuexin was actually tied up next to Ye Anxin.

Both of them were bound tightly, seated on the bridge in the same manner.

Su Yuexin was frightened out of her wits, her face wiped clean of tears, pale as a sheet. Seeing Mu Beiting was like seeing a savior, her eyes lighting up as she hurriedly pleaded, "Beiting, save me, I don’t want to die, hurry up and save me! I don’t want to die!"

Mu Beiting’s brow furrowed tightly, a flash of cold light quickly disappearing from his eyes.

"Uncle...!" Ye Anxin said nothing, only looked at Mu Beiting with tearful eyes, quietly waiting for his decision.

That day, she hadn’t understood Xie Yunlu’s words! Today, she understood completely!

Xie Yunlu said let her see whom Mu Beiting truly loves!

Turns out, she wasn’t the only one captured, even Su Yuexin was brought in!

This could mean that Su Yuexin was implicated because of her! If not for her, Su Yuexin might still be in Jin City!

"Mu Beiting, who will you choose between Su Yuexin and Ye Anxin?" Xie Yunlu looked at Mu Beiting triumphantly, waiting for his choice.

Ye Anxin said nothing, held her breath, and waited for Mu Beiting’s decision just like Xie Yunlu.

Although she knew Su Yuexin was innocent and was implicated by them! Yet, at this moment, she prayed in her heart, hoping uncle would choose her!

Not because she’s afraid of dying, but because she’s afraid uncle doesn’t really love her!

She’s more afraid of hearing words of care for Su Yuexin from uncle’s mouth!

Compared to Ye Anxin’s calmness, Su Yuexin was completely out of control, crying hysterically, saying as she sobbed, "Beiting, save me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die! I haven’t married you, I haven’t given you children, we haven’t gotten married yet! My biggest dream in life is to marry you! I truly realized my mistake, I shouldn’t have run away out of spite! I know you’ve always used Ye Anxin to anger me, angry that I shouldn’t have abandoned you! I’ve realized my mistake, really realized it! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"

Seeing Mu Beiting not answering, Xie Yunlu impatiently urged, "You have only one chance! Tell me, whom do you choose! The person you choose can live, while the one you don’t choose I’ll push off!"

Mu Beiting pressed his lips, said without hesitation, "I choose Su Yuexin! Hurry and let her go!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, time seemed to freeze.

Upon hearing Mu Beiting’s choice, Ye Anxin felt as if her heart had been stabbed, the pain causing her to bleed profusely.

At this moment, she felt it was so ridiculous, incredibly ridiculous! Turns out Xie Yunlu’s words were true! Uncle didn’t love her at all; she was just a tool Uncle used!

In Uncle’s heart, the one he truly loves is Su Yuexin, just as Su Yuexin said earlier, Uncle chose to marry her to provoke and retaliate against her for running away!

Indeed, she was nothing more than Uncle’s tool for revenge against Su Yuexin!

Hasn’t Su Yuexin told her this long ago? She just never believed it!

She had lived in a lie, in a web of her own making!

Uncle never said he loved her, did he?

From beginning to end, it was just her wishful thinking!

Looking back, she felt she was way too ridiculous, like a clown dancing on a stage, being toyed with!

Ye Anxin’s face turned ashen, her eyes red, but she didn’t cry, her heart aching so much that even breathing was painful.

Seeing Ye Anxin in such agony, Xie Yunlu’s face brimmed with satisfaction, a sense of revenge in her heart.

Su Yuexin let out a sigh of relief, crying tears of joy, saying excitedly, "Beiting, I knew it, I knew that you truly love me, there’s only ever been me in your heart! I knew it!"

Mu Beiting looked at Xie Yunlu impatiently, "I’ve made my choice, hurry and let her go!"

Xie Yunlu ignored him, seeming to think Ye Anxin’s scars weren’t deep enough, continued to mock her, "Ye Anxin, see what I said? I told you long ago that Mu Beiting doesn’t love you, he loves someone else! You were always just a tool to him! How does it feel to know the truth, shouldn’t you thank me sincerely?"

Ye Anxin bit her lip hard, staring at Mu Beiting, hoping to find some comforting expression on his face!

Yet, she found nothing! Uncle remained as cold and distant as ever.

"Xie Yunlu, hurry and let go of Su Yuexin!" Mu Beiting urged again, his tone unable to hide his urgency.

Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting, heartbroken and desperate, she felt her heartache had numbed her.

Married to Uncle for so long, she had never seen him lose control, yet today he lost control for Su Yuexin!

Doesn’t this alone explain everything?

Su Yuexin impatiently urged as well, "Xie Yunlu, didn’t you hear, Beiting said to let me go! Since he has made his choice, why haven’t you let me go!"

"Ha ha... Mu Beiting, who do you think you are! Let me tell you, you don’t get to call the shots now! You love Su Yuexin, right? Love her very much? Since you care so much about her, I’ll let you taste the pain of losing your most beloved!" Saying this, without waiting for anyone’s reaction, she directly pushed Su Yuexin, bound tightly, off the bridge into the river.

"Ah...!" Along with a scream, came the sound of a heavy object hitting the water.

As soon as Su Yuexin fell into the river, suddenly police officers wearing life vests rushed in from all directions! Seeing someone falling in, they jumped into the water without hesitation.

Seeing so many people suddenly emerging from all directions, Xie Yunlu froze, finally realizing she’d been set up.

"Mu Beiting, you...!" Xie Yunlu looked at Mu Beiting, noticing that he was no longer in his previous position! As she prepared to search for him in surprise, her neck was suddenly caught tightly.

"Since you’re not afraid to die, I’ll grant your wish!" With that, the hand gripping Xie Yunlu’s neck tightened suddenly.

Xie Yunlu’s face turned crimson, her eyes widened with fear.

Ye Anxin remained silent, only watching calmly as everything unfolded, her eyes devoid of any emotional waves as if she were a mere outsider.

Xie Yunlu felt unable to breathe, her brain lacking oxygen, yet she didn’t forget to curse with her remaining shallow breath grudgingly, "Mu Beiting, you... you’ll never have a good end! One day, you’ll pay for what you’ve done! You’ll pay!"

Mu Beiting’s lips pressed tightly together, and the hand gripping her neck swung forcefully, directly tossing Xie Yunlu’s body from the bridge into the river.
