Xu Yuan’s eyes turned slightly red. “Would you believe me if I said I did not intend to kill anyone the other day? Maybe I inhaled too much on that day and lost my mind. I was scared once I regained consciousness and saw those photos. I did not do it on purpose. My parents were so kind to me; why would I kill them?”

“Quit playing dumb, Xu Yuan. Since you want to see me today, I might as well tell you something that you probably didn’t know already. Professor Xu and your mother are not your biological parents. Mrs. Xu had always been infertile. When she went to the hospital for an examination, she met your biological parents, who were preparing for an abortion. Why did they want an abortion? It was because your biological father was addicted to gambling and wanted sons. When they found out that you were a girl, they wanted to get rid of you. Mrs. Xu paid to feed and support your biological mother. After you were born, she gave her a sum of money and brought you back to the Capital City. You transformed immediately and became the daughter of Professor Xu from Capital University. Oh, by the way, the adoptive father you killed, Professor Xu, died without knowing that you were his adopted daughter.”

“That’s a lie!”

Xu Yuan’s lips trembled nonstop. ‘No! No! It can’t be!’

“I’m serious. You can do a paternity DNA test, but I don’t think it would matter anymore if you did.”

Xu Yuan’s face turned pale. She stared at Ye Tianxin with her hollowed eyes filled with hatred.

She was not sure whom she hated.

Perhaps she hated herself the most.

“Ye Tianxin, you were lying to me, right?”

Xu Yuan still could not believe it. Charming and warm scenes of her whole family of three together kept emerging in her mind.

She used to have a warm family and a warm home.

“Why would I lie to you before you die?”

Ye Tianxin’s words brought Xu Yuan back to reality.

It was true that she was going to die soon.

She killed Professor Xu, her adopted father.

She was an ingrate who bit the hands that fed her.

Now, she was going to die…

Before she died, the only person concerned her was Mother Xu.

It was all her fault.

Why should the retribution go to Xu’s mother?

Xu Yuan asked in a pleading voice, “Ye Tianxin, could you check on my mother for me?”

She was about to die, yet all she could think of was her mother’s face with a gentle smile.

“Xu Yuan, do I look like Mother Teresa to you?”

Ye Tianxin could not understand why Xu Yuan would ask her to take care of Mother Xu.

She was not a saint.

“I beg you, Ye Tianxin.”

Xu Yuan suddenly knelt in front of Ye Tianxin. Her head banged on the ground with a pounding sound.

“Don’t worry about Mother Xu’s medical bills. They have saved enough money throughout the years. The only issue was her mental state. Do you think she will be fine after all the trauma?”

Xu Yuan sat back in her chair and cried her eyes out. Ye Tianxin could not tell whether or not those were crocodile tears.

Maybe it was both sincere and fake.

Unfortunately, she had already hardened her heart and would not move that easily anymore.

Xu Yuan suddenly said, “I did not kill Li Bai.”

Ye Tianxin nodded. “You do not have to tell me that. I already knew that you did not have the time to kill him.”

“I met someone at the drug rehabilitation center. She said she knew a way to get me out, so I followed her.”

Xu Yuan did not tell Ye Tianxin how unbearable life at the drug rehabilitation center was.
