Chapter 270 Divergence
Mrs. Baili popped up in the ancient castle of Modu City from nowhere, and no one knew where she came from.
Xia Nuan, Baili and his fellows had been waiting for Mrs. Bali for a while. The latter was lying on the bed, surrounded by curtains. Two female guards stood on both sides of the bed solemnly. They were tall, unfriendly and looked formidable.
Even Baili was acting respectfully.
Looking at Xia Nuan who was so clam, Baili had the abomination in his eyes and couldn’t help snoring. In contrast, Xia Nuan smiled and nodded to him. Seeing Xian Nuan’s satisfaction, Baili felt more resentful.
“Baili, I heard that you were jailed. Who did this to you?” A weak and old voice broke the tranquility.
Baili glanced at Xia Nuan resentfully and said, “You’re looking at her. She might think she is a member of Yuezhao Organization. But she just pretended to be one in order to achieve her purposes. She abused your power to lure us to a wasteland and imprisoned us…”
He told Mrs. Baili the details of the incident. Mrs. Baili only listened silently, showing no response or any sign of anger.
“Madam, in order to cover Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan faked your jade and mobilized the members of Yuezhao Organization to disobey its rules. Now she still dares come here shamelessly, not only to continue to deceive us, but also to deceive you!”
After hearing his words, Mrs. Baili said slowly, “Xia Nuan, is what Baili said true?”
Xia Nuan took a step forward, “Madam, it is true that I imprisoned him. Because sometimes he likes to do things based on his own subjective consciousness. He did something wrong, but he continued his mistake without taking my advice. I had no choice but to imprison him for a few days. However, I let him go in the end. If I really want to kill him, how could he stand in front of you?”
“Nonsense! You imprisoned me to help Ye Sichen get rid of the Allies’ wanted poster and arrest.” Baili retorted her with a little anger.
“Shut up and listen to the Madam.” The female guard interrupted him angrily.
He had to stop talking and shut up.
The female guard opened the curtain—Mrs. Baili in black silk sat on the bed. She supported her forehead with one hand, showing a sense of weak beauty. She asked as her tone combined with special laziness, “Come closer. Let me have a look at you.”
Xia Nuan walked forward again.
Mrs. Baili observed Xia Nuan from head to toe with her narrow eyes. Xia Nuan also stared at Mrs. Baili.
A quick sadness disappeared in Mrs. Baili’s eyes and they became sharp again, “You’re Xia Nuan?”
“Yes, Madam. I’m Xia Nuan, also a member of Yuezhao Organization.” Xia Nuan said.
“How can you prove it?” Mrs. Baili asked Xia Nuan doubtfully.
Xia Nuan opened her sleeves and exposed her arm, on which the crescent moon-shaped cinnabar mole attracted Mrs. Baili at once. Mrs. Baili couldn’t help but tremble her body. She stared at that cinnabar mole with an even more sorrowful expression.
“All this time, Mr. Baili knew I have this cinnabar mole on my arm. It stuck with me since I was born. But he chose to neglect it and fight against me. I was forced to treat him like this, to teach him a lesson, nothing personal. However, the hostility he holds toward me is one hundred percent true.”
Xia Nuan’s words agitated Baili, “Nonsense. Your cinnabar mole is fake. Ye Sichen burned it on your arm to mislead us. It’s a deceptive trick!”
“Baili, shut up.” Mrs. Baili reproached him, staring at Xia Nuan all the time.
Xia Nuan sensed hope.
She had heard from Baili that Mrs. Baili had a missing daughter whose arm got a crescent cinnabar mole. What a coincidence that her arm also had a cinnabar mole, almost identical with that of Mrs. Baili’s missing daughter. By taking advantage of this, she wanted to gain Mrs. Baili’s favorable impression and trust.
Baili got a little chagrin, “Madam, you can’t be deceived by her. She is cheating you. The situation was that I kidnapped her for some reason. But she was Ye Sichen’s woman. Getting the news, Ye Sichen fabricated the story that she had joined Yuezhao Organization to save her…”
“Baili, you will be punished severely by the complete violation of Yuezhao Organization’s rule.” Mrs. Baili said with rage. After the words left her lips, two tall men in black hustled Baili out, dragging his arms.
Baili was not happy to be treated like this. But before he could speak again, his mouth was covered, and then his eyes. He could only see the darkness.
Mrs. Baili put forth her hands and looked at Xia Nuan kindly, “Xia Nuan, come here.”
Xia Nuan smiled slightly and walked toward her. Mrs. Baili held her hands, “You’ll replace Baili to administer here.”
Xia Nuan was delighted and bowed to Mrs. Baili at once, “Madam, thank you for your trust and kindness.”
Mrs. Baili held her hand kindly, “How old are you? What’s your father’s name? And are you from Modu City or Feicheng City?”
Xia Nuan smiled and answered the questions one by one. When Mrs. Baili heard Xia Nuan’s father’s name, she felt disappointed.
Xia Nuan felt curious and looked at Mrs. Baili with her head tilted, “Mrs. Baili, what’s wrong?”
Actually, Xia Nuan didn’t tell Mrs. Baili the truth because she wanted to protect her privacy. Even her father’s name was also fake.
“Oh, I’m fine.” Mrs. Baili chatted with Xia Nuan for a while. Then she told Xia Nuan to leave on the excuse of resting.
Xia Nuan walked out the castle and had a long breath.
She didn’t expect that things would go smoothly. Mrs. Baili began to trust her only because of the cinnabar mole on her arm. However, Mrs. Baili might deliberately take a long-term plan to her, so she must be careful and cautious in her future work.
Thinking of this, Xia Nuan got in the car and left.
Thanks to Xia Nuan’s strategy and plot, Ye Sichen had signed an agreement with Yuezhao Organization. Therefore, during this period, he was very indifferent to her and couldn’t forget this unhappy issue. She had looked for him for several times, but he did not welcome her unless she took the three kids to see him. However, even if they had met each other, Ye Sichen was reluctant to say a word to Xia Nuan. She was extremely disappointed.
While the kids were playing in the garden, Xia Nuan looked for a chance to talk with him. But no matter what she said, he kept silent all the time. He walked into the recording room alone, and she followed him.
“Ye, don’t be angry, okay?” She held his hands and circled his waist from behind, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I should have discussed it with you in advance.”
“It’s useless to say anything now. You don’t have to say sorry to me, either. I know you did it for me. But Xia Nuan, I don’t like the way you did it. I don’t like any evil things.”
Ye Sichen shook off her hands.
She frowned, “Why are you so stubborn? I did this so that you won’t be targeted in the future. I’ve tried my best to make you live well, but you don’t understand me.”
“Do you really understand me? No, you don’t. I worked so hard to get rid of Yuezhao Organization, but you get me involved in them again. I hate to be a.s.sociated with all evil things, but you don’t think so, and you want me to live in an evil way. Our outlooks on life and values are fundamentally different.”
Xia Nuan looked at him with dismay and smiled bitterly, “Maybe you are right.”
It never occurred to her that they would be separated for sharing different opinions instead of someone’s scheme of sowing dissension.
Xia Nuan left the recording room, took her kids and prepared to leave.
But she was stopped by Ken and the safeguards. They didn’t let the kids leave, either. Obviously, it was Ye Sichen’s order.
“Madam, please leave the kids here since you are so busy.” Ken said.
Xia Nuan looked at her kids with reluctance. She crouched down, stroked Ansheng’s head, and kissed their cheeks, “Mom needs to go out. You should stay with dad for a few days.”
Wuyou, Nianci and Ansheng agreed happily because they had not lived with their father for a long time.
Xia Nuan seldom saw her kids after she left. Ye Sichen didn’t let anyone have contact with the kids, so they were protected very well. Even Xia Nuan couldn’t see her kids as she wanted to. Only at designated time could she visit and accompany them.
Xia Nuan was so puzzled by what Ye Sichen had done and argued with him several times. But Ye Sichen was still opinionated, and the reason what he gave was very simple: he didn’t want the kids to have anything to do with Yuezhao Organization.
Xia Nuan decided to find a way to cancel the cooperation between Ye Sichen and Yuezhao Organization. She was going to take the sighed doc.u.ment to find Ye Sichen and let him terminate it. When she was going to find him, Mrs. Baili sent her a message and wanted to meet her for discussion. So, Xia Nuan put off her plan to find Ye Sichen but meet with Mrs. Baili first.
