"Why should I execute you?"
Anning smiled at Bai Mei: "Since you were sent by the Zhang Family, let Lao Si return you to them."
Bai Mei, upon hearing she would be sent back to the Zhang Family, felt it was worse than being killed.
She turned and kowtowed to Xiao Jin: "Please, Mr. Four, don't send me back? I'd rather die than go back, I..."
Xiao Jin turned his face aside, ignoring Bai Mei.
Anning stood up, smiled at Xiao Jin and said: "Lao Si, even Qing'er and Zhu'er know that when gifts are bestowed, there must be a hidden agenda. They could see Bai Mei was off just by looking at her once, and you've been with her day and night and still didn't notice? Are you blinded by your heart or by beauty?"
Xiao Jin felt embarrassed by Anning's words, his face flushed red, his gaze flickering, not daring to look at Anning.
Anning said to Bai Mei: "Get up, you should follow me for now."
