Chapter 1198: Really Considerate

Jiang Bilian bit her lip and didn’t speak.

She had expected the training camp to help her get back justice for having lost her lead dancer position, but looking at the situation now, it would be good if Xia Yingluo didn’t achieve meteoric success and fly over her head! Although she was jealous of Xia Yingluo and hated her to the core, she also knew how to judge the situation and understood that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years later. Hence, she said to Zhu Zhu, “Let’s go.”

Zhu Zhu flattered her. “Only our Sister Bilian is so mature!”

Jiang Bilian smiled reluctantly. The dance she had carefully choreographed had been ruined by Xia Yingluo, and none of the nobles had even paid attention to her, let alone inquire about her and talk to her. How could she not be angry to have entered a treasure cave and yet come out empty-handed? But so what if she was not reconciled, she couldn’t rush forward and hold on to a nobleman and ask them to give her another chance, could she?

She could only wait for the second chance...

But who knew how long it would take for the second chance to come?

Jiang Bilian felt her heart boiling in rage. She was extremely angry and remembered this debt that Xia Yingluo would have to pay for.

If it wasn’t for Xia Yingluo stealing away her limelight—

Chairman Pei would have taken a liking to her, Jiang Bilian!

It was midsummer.

The garden was lined with trees and flowers.

Xia Yingluo was curled up on an old rattan chair while playing with a cat and thinking.

Pei Ziheng had yet to come and find her. Maybe he wasn’t coming. Then, what had happened at the lunch table was just an accident. Her identity hadn’t been revealed and he hadn’t taken a liking to her. That was good. Moreover, with his interest in her, the training camp wouldn’t dare expel her from the school anymore. Who knew whether Chairman Pei would come to visit and ask specifically to see her?

It was all unpredictable.

It also meant that she could live a comfortable life from now on. She could cause trouble and not have to worry about being expelled. Otherwise, even though she could enter Skyart’s training camp after being expelled, it was still troublesome to change schools.

Xia Yingluo was in a good mood. She saw a waiter walking with a tray nearby and motioned for him to come over. “Come here.”

The waiter came over with a tray full of a variety of snacks, drinks, and preserved fruits. Xia Yingluo picked a piece of mint cake excitedly, then curled up in the old rattan chair to enjoy it comfortably.

The sun was warm.

The ivy hid quietly behind the glass wall.

Xia Yingluo lazed in the sun for a while, then fell asleep groggily. Gradually, she began to feel as though something was wrong with her body... A tingling sensation came from her private place, like an electric current spreading quickly through her body and making her tremble. She gasped, and having already had her first time, her body immediately reacted to the sensation and she widened her eyes in shock and anger—

There was a problem with the piece of cake she just ate!

A large dose of aphrodisiac had been added to the cake. It was coming into effect and made it very difficult for her to even walk.

Her heart and mind were on full alert. She didn’t know who was dealing with her in this way, but she knew that the person must have a powerful background. She managed to support her body and stumble toward the gate.

She had to leave...

She’d be fine once she left.

She sucked in a deep breath and stumbled on. She has yet to go far when a few waiters rushed out and blocked her path. “Ms. Xia, what happened? We’ll help you to rest in the guest room.”

Indiscriminately, they half-supported and half-dragged her into the building.

Xia Yingluo wanted to struggle but was surprised to find that she couldn’t fight. The aphrodisiac medicine she had eaten was probably mixed with some other ingredients that made her four limbs weak. She couldn’t use any of her self-defense skills. These people... had really considered everything about her!

With all her strength, she fell back and refused to follow them. “Who sent you? Where are you taking me?”

One of the waiters said politely, “Ms. Xia, we don’t understand what you’re talking about, and you are not feeling well. We’re just helping you to rest. This is a banquet hall and we’ll have to take responsibility if anything happens to you, so of course, we have to take care of you.”

Xia Yingluo said laboriously, “I, I don’t need you to take care of... let me go, or take me to the hospital.”

“Ms. Xia, let’s take a break in the guest room first,” said the waiters. They dragged her into a dark and silent room and slammed the door shut. “We’ll find a doctor for you.”

There was a stale moldy smell in the air.

The curtains were tightly pulled, it was dark, and no fingers were visible.

Xia Yingluo knew she must have fallen into somebody’s trap, but she didn’t know if that person was Pei Yan or Zhao Yixuan? Her instinct to danger had been cultivated for a long time, and it made her slow down her breathing immediately. She bit her lips tightly so that not a silent sound would leak out. Then, she climbed backward a few steps forcefully and carefully hid herself in the dark.

The gentle movement almost exhausted all her strength.

The hotness in the body was getting more intense. It engulfed her and caused fine cold sweat to ooze on her forehead.

She bit her lip tightly, smelling the faint scent of blood.

Deep in the room came clumsy footsteps, then a man’s wretched laughter. “Little beauty, are you finally here? Hurry up and make me happy...” Then came the laughter of several other men.

Xia Yingluo’s expression changed. The person who harmed her was really vicious to throw her into a pile of men! She could imagine the consequences if they were successful. They might even take a video of her or something and ruin her reputation forever!

She didn’t even dare to make a sound, and her white teeth clenched harshly on her cellphone until blood leaked out.

She was dizzy and barely kept awake while relying on her pain between her fingers. She had difficulty breathing and felt like she might pass out at any time.

Messy footsteps rushed to the place where she had been thrown in before, followed by a curse. “Shit! That bitch dared to trick us! Where’s she?” Then came the sound of chairs being dragged and pushed. Those people were indeed furious and were looking for her.

Xia Yingluo carefully moved towards the door under the cover of these noises.

The room was too dark, and she couldn’t see anything. Fortunately, her memory and sense of direction were pretty good, and she soon touched the door.

She felt a joyous thump in her heart, but at the same time, a man said, “What the hell, it’s so dark! Ah Si, go turn on the lights and see where that bitch is hiding!” Then there was the sound of tables and chairs being knocked over as if the man called Ah Si was moving around.

Xia Yingluo estimated that there were no fewer than five or six men in the room. Moreover, with the sound their movements were making, their strengths were probably big. It might not have been a problem if her body was fine, but at the moment, she was drugged and could barely even stand. Hence, there was no way she could fight with these people.
