Chapter 354: So What If We’re Engaged
This situation made Li Beinian want to laugh.
She looked are Lin Kerou without any trace of sympathy.
Lin Kerou felt even more frightened and hugged Li Meng tighter.
Li Meng patted her back sympathetically. “It’s ok, don’t cry. However, we can’t let this off so easily. This is attempted murder. No matter how jealous she is, this is not the way to show it! Quickly, call the police!”
Lin Kerou pulled her back and shouted, “Forget it, Meng Meng.”
Her voice was very nasal as she cried out. “I was the one in the wrong. I told her about what happened between Brother Donglin and me when we were at university…”
During the university gathering, Mu Donglin and her almost went all the way.
This was the best evidence of their intimate relations.h.i.+p.
Hearing Lin Kerou’s words, Mu Donglin’s face darkened as he looked at her.
Lin Kerou cried indignantly. “Brother Donglin, I promised you not to tell anyone. I know that I’ve made a mistake. It’s justified for Nian Nian to be angry. I was foolish. Even if she really wanted to kill me, I’ll admit my mistake. Besides, she didn’t do it on purpose…”
“Not on purpose?” Li Meng screamed and stood up as she pointed at Li Beinian. “She definitely slapped you and pushed you into the sea on purpose! Luckily, someone saw you or you would have drowned to death!”
Lin Kerou’s skin was very white. Although it could not compare to Li Beinian’s naturally pale skin, it was very eye-catching under the sun.
Right on her swollen right cheek, the bright red fingerprints were striking.
“What about me, then?” Li Beinian suddenly said and took a step forward. “You claim that I pushed you into the water, so how did I get in as well?”
Lin Kerou looked at her and tears fell from her eyes. “I didn’t say that you did it on purpose Nian Nian. I know that I accidentally fell in. If you didn’t save me, I…”
She evaded her gaze and s.h.i.+vered.
She looked as if she was threatened by Li Beinian as she looked at Mu Donglin helplessly and weakly.
That look was like a helpless rabbit who was begging for his care and trust.
Mu Donglin gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Tell me the truth! How exactly did it happen? The one who tried to kill someone will pay the price!”
“But… she’s your fiancèe.” Lin Kerou carefully reminded him.
“So what if she’s my fiancèe?” Mu Donglin erupted in anger and looked at Li Beinian. “For committing attempted murder, she will have to go to jail!”
“Oh, really?” Li Beinian said expressionlessly. She was as calm as death. “Call the police, then.”
After she said that, everyone gasped in disbelief.
Li Beinian glanced down at the kelp that was still tied to her ankles and saw down directly.
“Aquatic plants have roots in the seabed. Once feet get entangled in them, the kelp will hold on to you tighter if you struggle.” Li Beinian lifted her legs with the kelp around her ankles. “However, no matter what, it would be a messy knot.”
The kelp was neatly tied twice around Li Beinian’s ankles and her fair and delicate skin was already red from it.
“What do you mean?” Mu Donglin asked.
Li Beinian said with ridicule, “Isn’t it obvious? Someone tried to kill me.”
“Do you mean that Kerou dived down and tied your feet with the kelp?” Li Meng glared at her and chuckled. “Are you shameless? Our Kerou can’t swim at all!”
