Is what she gained from betraying her really that good?
But she has already betrayed, and Pan Xinzi has already gained what she wanted. No one will compete with her anymore, yet she still wants to drive and crash into herself. It's truly ridiculous.
After feeling a pang of sadness, Lan Baobao called out.
“Yan Momo!”
The dazed Yan Momo finally lifted her head and saw Lan Baobao outside the iron room, immediately projecting an angry glare.
Lan Baobao looked stunning.
Dressed in Chanel, she seemed understated, yet everywhere she went, she attracted envy. She wore a pair of Chanel earrings and flat shoes that were also Chanel.
Damn it, did Lan Baobao think she was a French socialite? Everything was Chanel, how infuriating!
“Lan Baobao, why are you here? Did you come dressed in all Chanel to watch me make a fool of myself and show off in front of me?”
“Yan Momo, we used to be so close. I came here just to understand why you are doing this? Why?” Lan Baobao shook her head. Although she hated Yan Momo, she never imagined that Yan Momo could be such a ruthless woman.
Before, it was just about taking her things, but now Yan Momo seemed intent on killing! When did Yan Momo become such a cruel woman?
Yan Momo stood up and looked at Lan Baobao as if she were a monster. After all this time, she couldn't understand why she felt this way.
How ridiculous Lan Baobao was; she had so much yet thought of herself as kind and genuine. In reality, Lan Baobao was just a very foolish woman who often unintentionally stepped on others' most painful spots, causing those around her great pain.
“Lan Baobao, it's truly laughable that you still ask me why.
You and I are the same; we have no family, no money, no power. What gives you the right to have so much? Do you know? I envy you; I hate you.
You have always had better circumstances than me. Being by your side, I constantly received your so-called generous help. Do you know what I felt? I felt like a beggar living off others' charity.”
When you are happy or think of me, just spare me a little something, give me a bit of a good face, so that everyone around can see how noble you, Lan Baobao, are, how much you care for your friends, and that you are someone who can generously help friends.
But only I know that what you are doing is just to show off. You want to flaunt that you are better than me, more useful than me, and in a better situation than me.
Even after your parents died, you still act this way, refusing to change.
You have always been like a careless princess, letting those around you do everything for you. I am fed up with cleaning up after you and tired of accepting your charity. I want to prove to others that I, Yan Momo, am stronger and better than you, Lan Baobao!
So I will take everything that belongs to you. At that time, what I valued about Pan Xinzi was not just his money but also the fact that he was your fiancé. I will first take your fiancé away from you to let you know that as a woman, you will never be able to compare to me.
But when I took your fiancé away, you immediately found someone else who is even better than Pan Zixin. Tell me, how did you manage to get all this?
Why is your luck always so good? Every time I try to surpass you, you can find an even better way out? The will left by Pan Xinzi's family favors you, and Ye Zixun has also been conquered by you. Everyone is on your side.
I just can't accept it. I hate you, so I want revenge. I want to make you realize that you can never win against me; you are never my opponent!
Revenge? What exactly does she have that is worth Yan Momo's revenge?
Lan Baobao is truly dumbfounded.
Since childhood, she has treated Yan Momo as a very close friend, even like a sister. She has been good to Yan Momo simply because they are friends and because Yan Momo is alone; Lan Baobao has almost given her all.
As long as she has something, there will be a share for Yan Momo.
Having done all this, she still faces Yan Momo's resentment.
What should she do to restore things to normal?
Lan Baobao's heart races anxiously.
No matter how she thought about it, she never expected that Yan Momo seducing Pan Xinzi was actually a way to get back at her.
"Fine, even if you want revenge, you already brought Pan Xinzi close to me five years ago and took him away. Your revenge should have succeeded by now, so why do you want to run me over? My life is not as glamorous as people see from the outside; I have my own struggles.
You should know all of this. Why are you doing this to me? Why do you want to kill me and my child?"
"Because I need to protect myself. I have to kill you." Yan Momo's righteous demeanor made it seem like killing someone was a very simple and reasonable thing to do!
Lan Baobao frowned, completely confused by what she meant. Protect herself? She had never thought of harming her; why did Yan Momo feel the need for self-protection?
"Yan Momo, I don't understand how your need for self-protection relates to wanting to kill me!"
"Lan Baobao, stop pretending in front of me, okay? Do you think I don't know what happened with Mu Jiao'er?" Yan Momo sneered. "It must have been Ye Zixun who did it because Mu Jiao'er once hurt you, so she ended up dead at Ye Zixun's hands, right?"
"You think Mu Jiao'er was killed by Ye Zixun and not that she committed suicide? So anyone who hurts me will be dealt with by Ye Zixun?"
"Otherwise, what other reason can explain the sudden death of Mu Jiao'er?" Yan Momo didn't believe a word; she only believed what she saw. Mu Jiao'er was dead now, and that was the reality.
Lan Baobao shook her head; it turned out all of this was due to a misunderstanding. She misunderstood the situation and came to run her over.
"Yan Momo, I don't care whether you believe what I'm saying or not. I want to tell you that Mu Jiao'er was not killed by Ye Zixun. Her death was her own doing!"
Lan Baobao never expected that she would defend Ye Zixun. Previously, it was Ye Zixun who spoke to her; now it was her turn to speak up for Yan Momo.
Lan Baobao bit her lip and continued, "What happened between us is in the past. Your worries are entirely fabricated by yourself; I never thought about getting revenge on you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Momo weakly took two steps back and fell onto the hard bed.
She never thought about dealing with her? Then everything she had done...
"Ha ha!" A desolate cold laugh echoed in the cell, the sound of Yan Momo's regretful laughter. But now that she knew her mistakes and felt remorse, what could she do? Nothing could be salvaged.
"Ye Zixun, you really love Lan Baobao, don't you? What is it about her that makes you love her so much?"
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Zixun finally responded, " Lan Baobao is my wife. Isn't that reason enough for me to love her?"
Yan Momo fell silent, sitting on the hard bed and starting to space out. Perhaps she had been wrong from the very beginning; perhaps she should never have damaged the friendship between herself and Lan Baobao. If she hadn't done those things back then, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation now.
If she hadn't gotten involved with Mu Jiao'er, she wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.
Surrounded by prison walls, her fragmented life, and Pan Xinzi...
If she hadn't driven to crash into Lan Baobao, Ye Zixun wouldn't have started seeking revenge, and Pan Xinzi's legs wouldn't have ended up like that.
Seeing her former friend like this made tears fall uncontrollably from Lan Baobao's eyes.
Ye Zixun lifted Lan Baobao's face and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. Then he took Lan Baobao out of the police station, knowing that facing Yan Momo would inevitably make Lan Baobao sad.
The last thing Ye Zixun wanted to see was Lan Baobao's tears.
"What's done is done; let's go!" When Ye Zixun saw Lan Baobao looking back, he forcibly pulled her out of the police station.
Sitting in the car, Ye Zixun looked at the silent Lan Baobao, finally unable to hold back any longer. "Don't be sad. If you go back like this, the two kids will see you and feel sad too. It's not worth wasting your emotions on someone like that."
"Ye Zixun, when did you know it was Yan Momo who did it?" Suddenly, Lan Baobao looked up at Ye Zixun.
She stared intently at him, her eyes trembling and glistening with tears.
Ye Zixun's expression suddenly darkened; he hadn't expected Lan Baobao to ask this question out of the blue. "Why are you asking this? Isn't everything already resolved?"
"Complete? Do you think this is complete?" Lan Baobao's emotions suddenly heightened. Looking at the imprisoned Yan Momo, did he know how he felt? Did he know how much it hurt?
"Ye Zixun, you let me watch my friend go to jail in the future. Do you think this is a complete ending?"
"What else do you want me to do? Should I just tell you to endure the threats from that woman? Didn't you ask me to investigate this matter and find out the real culprit?"
"So, if the real culprit is someone else, you feel at ease. But if it's Yan Momo, then you think it's understandable and should forgive her?"
"I guessed correctly; you knew all along that this matter was related to Yan Momo. Since you know it was Yan Momo who did it, why don't you talk to her?"
Has he ever thought about how this could ruin Yan Momo's life?
Ye Zixun saw her becoming increasingly agitated and quickly grabbed her arm to help stabilize her emotions.
"How could you think that Yan Momo would listen to you or me? She hates you deeply, and unless she's pushed to the brink, she will never repent. That's your friend, Yan Momo. Why are you always concerned about those who hate and hurt you?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Baobao's expression slowly darkened, and her emotions began to stabilize as well. Ye Zixun was right; Yan Momo had long forgotten the friendship between them. No matter how many times she was advised, there would be no change. She would still find ways to hurt herself; she just didn't understand that hurting herself was equivalent to hurting her.
The investigation was initiated by her asking Ye Zixun to look into it; it was originally meant to be handed over to the police. Ye Zixun was only doing what he was supposed to do; he wasn't wrong.
But why did she feel so exhausted and sad?
