The light in the basement was very bright, but it was cold white, and Xu Tianxin was squatting in the corner at the moment, with her head buried in her knees, not knowing if she was asleep.

She heard the sound of footsteps, and she looked up.

"You'd better tell me sooner why the phoenix hairpin in your mother's hand appeared in your hand." Bai Xianyi squatted down in front of Xu Tianxin, looked at her at eye level, and there was a clear light in his eyes.

"If I don't say it, what can you do to me?" Xu Tianxin raised her head, the gloom in her eyes dissipated, and only fearlessness remained.

"What do you think?" Bai Xianyi took out a dagger from the pocket of his long trench coat.

This dagger is the same as the one that injured Yu Lian that night, but it is not the same one.

Xu Tianxin's face changed slightly, shrunk into the corner of the wall, and stared at the dagger in Bai Xianyi's hand in horror, "If you let me be hurt at this time, the people of the Xu family will make you think that you are an impostor and want to bend me into a move." ”

"Do you think I care so much about the identity of the eldest lady of the Xu family?" Bai Xian hooked the corners of his lips with cruelty, directly grabbed Xu Tianxin's collar, dragged her over, and pressed the dagger against her throat, where the broken porcelain was cut that morning.

Xu Tianxin screamed in pain.

"Let me tell you, I'd rather not have the identity of the eldest lady of the Xu family, but also find out the truth about my mother's murder." Bai Xianyi gritted his teeth, and the force in his hand increased.

"You'll pay for your life if you kill someone, you're already an adult." Xu Tianxin didn't give up, she didn't believe that Bai Xianyi would really kill herself, she didn't dare.

"You can try." As soon as Bai Xianyi loosened the dagger in his hand, he dragged Xu Tianxin's wrist and slashed it fiercely, blood gushed out, and Xu Tianxin screamed in fright.

"You tell me now, I'll call you an ambulance, if you don't tell me, I'll let people bleed to death." Bai Xianyi looked at Xu Tianxin expressionlessly, his eyes were cold.

She's all been dead once, so what's there to be afraid of?

But she must not lose her mother again, and this time, no matter what the cost, she must investigate it clearly.

"I don't know, I really don't know, before the banquet started, someone knocked on my door, I opened the door and saw the phoenix hairpin, someone sent me an anonymous text message, saying that if you take this phoenix hairpin to find Xu Zhijie, he will believe me, I am the eldest lady of the Xu family." Xu Tianxin was very afraid of death, and her voice trembled.

"You'd better not lie to me." The dagger in Bai Xianyi's hand fell on Xu Tianxin's face.

"I really don't know anything else, you spare me." Xu Tianxin was scared and cried.

Bai Xianyi put the dagger back in his pocket, glanced at Xu Tianxin mockingly, and walked out.

"Remember to call me an ambulance!" Xu Tianxin shouted loudly in horror behind him.

"It didn't hurt the blood, it was just a flesh injury."

After saying this, Bai Xianyi had already disappeared at the door of the basement.

Just out of the basement, the phone in his pocket rang, it was a strange call, Bai Xianyi picked up the phone.

"Xianyi, it's me." Xu Minmin's weak voice came from the phone, and he said apologetically, "I was too excited in the morning and hurt you, I'm sorry." ”

Bai Xianyi remembered the peace charm that Xu Minmin gave him, was stunned, and walked towards the main villa, "It's okay, you have a good rest in the hospital." ”

"I can't come out now, the Xu family has sent someone to guard me, can you come and talk to me?" Xu Minmin said again, with a cautious temptation.

Bai Xianyi stopped and did not speak.

Lin Xianjie had just told her to stay away from Xu Minmin, and besides, she also felt that Xu Minmin's current situation was indeed very unstable.

"I don't have any friends, and I don't have anyone to talk to, don't be afraid, you come to the hospital, and I'll tell you about my past, okay?"

"If you don't want to, forget it." Xu Minmin smiled bitterly and was about to hang up the phone as she spoke.

"Wait, I'll come." Bai Xianyi replied.

She really wanted to know what Xu Minmin had experienced before.

Maybe this can also solve a problem for the Xu family and father.

Thinking about it, Bai Xianyi called the driver of the Xu family and sent him to the hospital.

Xu Minmin still lived in the previous ward, Bai Xianyi found the ward with ease, pushed the door in, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, but she didn't see Xu Minmin on the bed.

Probably went to the toilet?

She was about to make a phone call to ask, but suddenly she felt a gust of wind in the back of her head, followed by a sharp pain, and Bai Xianyi's eyes turned black, and she didn't know anything.

When I woke up again, it was in a dirty, dimly lit basement, surrounded by the smell of rotting wood.

Bai Xianyi struggled to open his eyes and tried to move, but his whole body was tied with ropes, and there was no room to move at all.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Xu Minmin sitting not far away.

"Xianyi, I've always thought you were very smart, why did you fall for it so easily today?" Xu Minmin smiled and walked up to Bai Xianyi, "It seems that you are nothing more than that." ”

"What are you kidnapping me here for, can't you say something well?" Bai Xianyi looked at Xu Minmin, now her eyes are clear, and she doesn't look like a person with mental problems.

"Of course I hated you, so I brought you here." Xu Minmin smiled bitterly, moved the chair over, sat down next to Bai Xianyi, lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"You're the one you prefer, of course you can't understand my feelings."

Bai Xianyi looked at her coldly, "You don't have any mental illness at all?" ”

Otherwise, how could he have planned to kidnap himself from the hospital and sit here so calmly and chat with her?

"Yes, no." Xu Minmin took a puff of cigarette and spit it all on Bai Xianyi's face.

Bai Xianyi was choked and coughed.

"When you weren't here, although Zhijie had been living in seclusion in Yunze Mountain and being with animals, he would take the time to come back to see me once a week."

Xu Minmin remembered that before, there was a soft smile on the corner of her lips, but it quickly disappeared and became fierce.

"But since you came back, he hasn't come to see me, not once."

She suddenly pinched Bai Xianyi's chin, as if she wanted to crush her mandible, and her expression gradually became hideous.

"You snatched him, and if you don't come back, he's still mine!"

"He's not yours, it's just your wishful thinking." Bai Xianyi frowned, her jaw hurt terribly, but she could only keep herself calm.

"He is mine, everyone in the Xu family hates me, only he will care about me, but after you come back, he no longer cares about me, you say it's not because of you, but because of whom?" Xu Minmin shook off Bai Xianyi's chin and asked sharply.

"You are not suitable, even if you are not related by blood, it is impossible." Bai Xianyi breathed a sigh of relief, but her jaw was already bruised.

"Just because he's older than me? Or is it because of secular ideas? I don't care about any of that. Xu Minmin took another puff of his cigarette.

"I just don't understand, why is such a pure emotion turned into disgusting in their eyes?"

Bai Xianyi was silent for a while, and her heart became heavier.

"The world is at fault, and they shouldn't do this to you."

"But Dad only has Mom in his heart, even if I don't appear, it's impossible between you." She said calmly.

"Impossible? You are not qualified to say this. Xu Minmin sneered, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and slapped Bai Xianyi in the face.

Bai Xianyi turned his head away after being beaten, and there was a little more fishy sweet taste in his mouth, and the left side of his face hurt hotly.

"You know in your own heart that it's impossible, I'm just telling the truth that you don't want to admit." Bai Xianyi raised his head, his face calm.

"Shut up!" Xu Minmin fished out the water tank next to him, there was an extra struggling insect in his hand, and the other hand forced Bai Xianyi's mouth to open, put the insect in, and pinched her mouth.

"Zhijie said that only good girls can be treated gently, but you are not well-behaved." Xu Minmin smiled arrogantly.

Bai Xianyi could feel that the disgusting worm was finally stirring, and kept crawling deep into her throat, her stomach churned, and she didn't know where a force erupted, breaking free from Xu Minmin's hand, and vomiting desperately.

Xu Minmin looked at it coldly from the side, "You owe me these things, you deserve it." ”

Almost vomiting out the acid water in his stomach, Bai Xianyi stopped weakly, with tears gushing out of violent vomiting in the corners of his eyes.

"If Dad knew that you treated me like this, he would never forgive you in this life." She glanced at Xu Minmin, and her heart was full of coldness.

"That's better than not remembering me in his life." Xu Minmin was in a much better mood and went back to the chair and sat down.

"Even if you are bitter, you have only been bitter for more than ten years, and you will be pampered and loved by people in the future, how can you be the same as me."

She sneered and looked at Bai Xianyi again, "I still keep the agreement and tell you about my previous affairs." ”

Bai Xianyi stopped interrupting her in order to stop her overreaction.

It turned out that when Xu Minmin was very young, her parents died, their family went bankrupt, and her parents jumped off the building because they couldn't bear the pressure, and she watched her parents fall from the stairs and lie on the ground covered in blood, when she was only three years old.

Because their family once had a favor to the Xu family, the old man Xu promised them a request, and before Xu Minmin died, he entrusted the child to the Xu family.

The Xu family has a big business, and her parents must have thought that Xu Minmin would not be wronged in it, and she grew up without worrying about food and clothing, and she didn't owe her anything in this life.

This matter was well known in the major newspapers at that time, and Mr. Xu had no choice but to let his youngest son Xu Zhenguo adopt the child, but Xu Zhenguo was a flowery character, and he had no feelings for this child, and he was out all day long, and it was rare to return home once a year.

Xu Minmin's childhood has always been very lonely, although he has never lacked material life, he has never known what kind of thing feelings are.

Until she was ten years old, there was suddenly one more person in her life, and that was her uncle Xu Zhijie.

Before this, she had heard many great things about Xu Zhijie, and he was also a person respected by everyone in the Xu family.

is such a wonderful person, suddenly took her back to his villa, got along with her day and night, treated her as his own daughter, every time the domestic helper bullied her, Xu Zhijie would stand up for her and fire the domestic helper.

The Xu family thinks she is a burden, but Xu Zhijie remembers her birthday every year, buys her dresses and toys that all little girls like, and takes her to travel around the world.

"In that case, why don't you be obedient, we can also be good sisters, can't we?" Bai Xian couldn't help but feel that Xu Minmin's past was pitiful, and his heart softened.

A three-year-old child who watched her parents die in front of her, and then no one cared about her for seven years, you can imagine how painful those days were.

Maybe it's understandable that she's the way she is.

"He is so important to me, how can I be obedient?" Xu Minmin smiled bitterly, "He is my life, do you know?" ”

In this way, five years later, Xu Minmin was fifteen years old, more sensitive emotionally, and more possessive of Xu Zhijie, that year, she had menarche, knowing that she had grown up, so she stripped naked and lay on his bed in an afternoon when Xu Zhijie was expected to return.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhijie didn't come back that day, she slept on the bed until Mrs. Xu took a group of domestic servants and lifted her quilt.

"Do you know that humiliation?" Xu Minmin looked at Bai Xianyi, tears shining in the corners of her eyes.
