I Was Supposed to Be the Villainess, Now You're Telling Me I'm the Female Lead? - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Sigh, Can We Reconcile?

***

The calmer she appeared, the more it made Bai Ning feel apprehensive. Although she hadn’t planned to let Nan Ziyue off the hook either, after all, Nan Ziyue had wanted her life, and she wasn’t saintly enough to say she’d forgive her or anything like that.

After all, she wasn’t some genuine pure white lotus female lead. When someone’s already stepping on your head, you still smile and say you forgive them? She couldn’t do that.

And if she weren’t the female lead, she might have really died in that car accident.

But what she had in mind was merely limited to collecting evidence, bringing down the Nan Group, and then using legal means to punish her.

So when she heard Jiang Xiyue say those words so calmly, she felt a bit terrified.

Seeing Bai Ning’s shocked expression, Jiang Xiyue raised an eyebrow and repeated once more.

“Do you want it?”

This made Bai Ning feel somewhat chilled. She realized she had still underestimated these crazy villainess, human life seemed to mean nothing in her eyes.

Swallowing hard, Bai Ning asked tentatively.

“What… what are you planning to do?”

“Poison, drowning, car accident, all possible. See which one you prefer.”

A series of words that made Bai Ning’s scalp tingle came out calmly from Jiang Xiyue’s mouth.

“Never… never mind. Let’s still go through legal procedures properly. If you have the ability, get her a life sentence. Of course, if what she’s done exceeds that boundary, it’s fine if she’s gone too.”

Bai Ning shook her head. Although she quite looked forward to something happening to Nan Ziyue, she still didn’t have a strong enough heart for this kind of deciding others’ life and death with just a few words. Her moral standards still weren’t as low as Jiang Xiyue’s.

“Alright.”

Without unnecessary words, with a slight upturn of her lips, Jiang Xiyue’s expression was very calm.

Actually, she hadn’t planned to tell Bai Ning about this matter initially, just planning to quietly do it, since it wasn’t a big deal anyway.

But when she was preparing to act, she suddenly remembered that Bai Ning had previously seemed to tell her that she didn’t like having things hidden from her, especially things related to her.

Because she was afraid of being disliked by Bai Ning, she specifically came to tell Bai Ning about it.

Since Bai Ning didn’t plan to handle it directly, she would still respect Bai Ning’s opinion, just add some extra pressure later to make Nan Ziyue receive punishment faster.

“Is… is there anything else?”

Seeing that the discussion had ended, but Jiang Xiyue was still sitting in the chair smiling and looking at her, Bai Ning felt a bit nervous.

“Yes. After observation these past two days, your body really doesn’t have major problems and has reached the standard for discharge, but…” Her tone paused, and she continued speaking amid Bai Ning’s puzzled expression.

“A doctor’s responsibility is not only for your physical health, your mental health is equally important.”

Jiang Xiyue’s expression was somewhat serious, as if she was genuinely concerned about Bai Ning’s mental health.

It seemed that although Jiang Xiyue was a villainous woman, she was still very responsible about her identity as a doctor.

“I plan to conduct a psychological test on you. After passing it, you can go through discharge procedures.”

Psychological test, there shouldn’t be any problem with that, right?

Schools occasionally did psychological tests too, so in Bai Ning’s impression, psychological tests should just be answering some questions and filling out forms.

“Okay, I’m telling you, my psychology is very healthy.”

After hesitating, Bai Ning agreed to Jiang Xiyue’s words and even proudly boasted about herself.

[Yeah right, you’re so naive you’d help count the money after being sold]

Bai Ning: “I’m going to sue you for defaming me. I’m so shrewd, how could I not see through the people around me’s thoughts about me?”

Bai Ning really felt this system could go test whether it had paranoid delusions. Although Nan Zha and Ning Xue were vicious female supporting characters, they had already been led by her to reform and turn over a new leaf.

“The psychological test has two parts. I’ll first ask you questions and judge your mental health level based on your answers. After passing this, we’ll proceed to the next part.”

“Bring it on.” Patting her chest, which drew Jiang Xiyue’s gaze, Bai Ning stared seriously at Jiang Xiyue.

Just kidding. Although she, Bai Ning, didn’t have much experience dealing with villainous female supporting characters, she was still very skilled at test-taking.

Perhaps it was the female lead’s buff that made her not-so-smart little brain always achieve surprising results in studying.

She just underestimated Jiang Xiyue a bit. With just one sentence, Jiang Xiyue made her CPU overload.

“First question: please answer, how did what I did at the banquet make you feel?”

Her mouth slightly agape, showing a surprised expression on her face, she really couldn’t figure out what this question had to do with psychological testing.

“Wait, is this question even proper?”

She somewhat suspected Jiang Xiyue was deliberately teasing her, just finding it fun.

“You just need to answer. These questions all have basis.”

Jiang Xiyue’s expression was calm, as if she was really just conducting a psychological test, almost making Bai Ning believe it.

Recalling what happened at the banquet, Bai Ning’s cheeks flushed red. She bit her teeth and answered.

“So… so-so.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue didn’t react and continued asking.

“Good. Second question: if I were to do that thing now, how would you feel?”

Although the question was still outrageous, having already answered one, Bai Ning had a feeling of giving up completely. She glared fiercely at Jiang Xiyue and said in a low voice.

“Annoyed!”

“Third question: which series of adult films do you prefer?”

Alright, Bai Ning could confirm that Jiang Xiyue was definitely doing this on purpose.

Expressionless, taking a deep breath, she really wanted to punch Jiang Xiyue but still held back.

“I… watch them all!”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue nodded slightly.

“Alright, just these three questions.”

“Unfortunately, you didn’t pass the test. Except for the last question, you chose to avoid and lie for all the others.”

Bai Ning had an “I knew it” expression and rolled her eyes. She knew Jiang Xiyue definitely just wanted her to stay in the hospital for a few more days and then take advantage of her.

“Oh, what a pity. So, can you go out now?”

Pointing at the door, Bai Ning issued an order to leave.

But Jiang Xiyue didn’t walk out. Instead, she moved closer and closer to Bai Ning.

Looking at that exquisite yet expressionless face, Bai Ning swallowed hard.

“What… what are you going to do?”

“You didn’t pass the psychological test just now, which means your psychology isn’t healthy. As your attending physician, I need to be responsible for you, so I will cure you.”

The exquisite pretty face spoke while getting closer and closer to Bai Ning, almost touching Bai Ning’s face, scaring Bai Ning into quickly shrinking back.

“The best way to deal with psychological problems is to face them directly, repeat them, until you can face them head-on.”

Hearing this, Bai Ning’s heart skipped a beat, thinking this was bad.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiyue’s lips curved slightly upward as she spoke words that made Bai Ning’s vision go dark.

“Let’s repeat what happened that day until you can correctly face your inner feelings.”

Warm fingers touched Bai Ning’s cheek, making her tremble uncontrollably.

Is it too late to regret this now?
