The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 516 - 456: Obsession Really Kills_2

Chapter 516: Chapter 456: Obsession Really Kills_2
But seeing her cruelly kill Nunu today, Xiaolan felt it was a problem of her character. She even felt lucky that Bai Chengxi had broken up with her; otherwise, even if they were together, they would not be happy. Their paths were different; their ambitions were different.
Su Yingluo was live-streaming an attempted suicide. She originally wanted to expose Zhuo Yuqing’s name and let everyone despise her, but to her surprise, the live stream was cut off halfway through.
She thought it was a poor internet connection and vigorously shook her phone trying to catch a signal, yet despite sweating profusely from the effort, she still couldn’t connect to the live-streaming platform. Out of anger, she screamed loudly and threw her phone away.
Soon, there was a pounding at the door. Xiaolan ran to open it, and four or five police officers entered, with Bai Chengxi following behind them.
Bai Chengxi was about to ask about the situation, but when he saw the dead cat in Xiaolan’s arms, he figured out everything. He gave a scornful laugh and turned to leave quickly.
The woman who he once worshipped as a goddess had completely turned into a lunatic. The small affections they had in the past were now utterly annihilated. Even if Su Yingluo really died in front of him, Bai Chengxi would not shed a single tear.
This woman was simply too insane, and it was all a consequence of her own actions.
After the police searched the house, they said to Xiaolan: "You shouldn’t be calling 120 (emergency medical services), you should be calling a psychiatric hospital. Are you sure this lady doesn’t have mental issues? She killed this cat, didn’t she?"
Xiaolan thought about how Su Yingluo was a public figure, and how there was already a plethora of negative news about her. If the cat abuse came to light, she would be completely finished.
"I’m sorry, officer, this is a misunderstanding. This cat wasn’t killed by our Miss Luo, it really is a mistake. The kitten had complications while giving birth, and we had no other choice but to come up with this idea." Although Xiaolan’s explanation was full of holes, the police clearly didn’t want to get involved in such a messy situation and left after giving a brief lecture.
After the police left, the room was still filled with the stench of blood.
Xiaolan looked at Su Yingluo with eyes filled with disappointment and disbelief: "Miss Luo, what has Nunu got to do with getting Mr. Bai back? What did it do wrong? Why did you kill it? It was always so gentle and obedient, we’ve been raising it for three years, three years of bonding—how could you bear to stab it with a knife?"
Su Yingluo still appeared to be in a daze, as if she hadn’t heard a word from Xiaolan.
Xiaolan sighed, "Miss Luo, I now deeply regret helping you do so many wrong things. At the same time, I apologize to you. If I hadn’t always told you that there was still hope with Mr. Bai, I think we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today. Now, I know I was wrong, and I hope you come to your senses too. Mr. Bai and Miss Zhuo are truly in love with each other; if you continue like this, it will only make Mr. Bai hate you more. You didn’t die this time, but if you actually die next time, I guess Mr. Bai won’t even spare you a glance. Why bother?"
As Xiaolan looked at the corpse of Nunu in her arms, she was overwhelmed with sorrow: "That’s it, Miss Luo, I am officially resigning now. From now on, you need to take care of yourself and stop doing foolish things."
Xiaolan said a lot, but Su Yingluo didn’t seem to take any of it in, still hanging her head and trying to connect to the live-streaming website, until the sound of the closing door could be heard. Only then did she lift her head, her eyes empty and despairing as she looked in the direction of the door.

Although Su Yingluo’s live-streamed suicide was only halfway through, it caused quite a stir. However, it didn’t take long for some attentive netizens to find discrepancies in the details.
Some people said that it was implausible for a person who had lost so much blood to still have the energy to live-stream.
Others said that they seemed to see a cat-like animal lying on the ground when the camera shook.
There was a multitude of opinions, and the topic was once again hotly debated.
Bai Chengxi closed his computer, feeling agitated, and rubbed his temples. If Su Yingluo continued her madness, it might end up harming Yuqing.
He thought for a while, then picked up his phone and found a number. It had been so many years, and he wasn’t sure if that person was still using the same number.
Hoping to just give it a try, he was surprised to find the call connected.
"Chengxi?", the person recognized him instantly since they also had kept his number.
"Auntie, it’s me."
"Why did you think to call me?"
"You’ve seen the news recently too, right? She’s causing a lot of trouble. If this continues, I’m worried she might harm herself." Bai Chengxi walked to the window to look outside, "Are you still unwilling to forgive her?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment before a sigh was heard: "So many years have passed, and much has faded. She’s still my daughter. There are no deep hatreds. Back then, I threatened to kill myself to prevent her from going abroad, insisting she marry you right away and abandon such unrealistic thoughts. Still, she didn’t care about my opinion. From that moment, I knew she and you were thoroughly finished. Now that she has returned and wants to reconcile with you, and you don’t agree, she becomes crazed. Obsession really is deadly."
Bai Chengxi was silent, remembering how Su Yingluo’s mother strongly opposed her going abroad years ago, urging her to immediately marry him and dismiss those impractical ideas. Su Yingluo didn’t listen, and her mother resolutely severed mother-daughter ties with her, edly not having been in contact for ten years.
"Chengxi, I’m sorry she has caused you so much trouble. Don’t worry, I’ll go to Aus City tomorrow to bring her back home to rest and recuperate, and we can discuss future matters later."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Sigh, I should be the one thanking you. It appears we’re not destined to be family in this lifetime. I hope you live a happy life."
After hanging up, Bai Chengxi was about to continue working when a call from Mrs. Bai, his grandmother, came through.
"Chengxi, you need to come home right now, quickly, there’s something very serious."
