Shifting the Blame

Li Yan knew that Bai Xue had maliciously framed Jiang Ling'er, but she was still trying to put the blame on his assistant and Yue Ling. 'You clearly hate Ling'er, but you're saying you want to be friends with her?'

Looking at the pitiful Bai Xue, Li Yan's heart was in disarray. 'Are you still the pure and kind girl I know? Or was I actually blind all this time, and this is your true self?'

Li Yan said, "Since Jiang Ling'er doesn't want to be friends with you, don't force it."

Bai Xue walked toward Li Yan and hugged his arm. "But if we have a good relationship with Ling'er, perhaps both the Li family and Jiang family can form a closer bond."

Li Yan felt so conflicted. Bai Xue seemed like a sensible girl, but she was doing dirty deeds behind his back. He thought, 'She's like a walking contradiction.'

Li Yan didn't react to her intimate actions at all. "You really don't need to stoop so low."
