Bai Zhi’s gaze grew increasingly indifferent. Ye Xiu, this woman, she once thought was a decent teacher. But now...
Indeed, it was ironic. Turns out she was just another person without a bottom line.
"Xingxing, wait a mont. You can’t do this, you can’t leave here."
Ye Xiu shouted at the departing Bai Zhi, relentlessly calling out.
"Why can’t I? You’ve already hurt . Why should I spare you?"
Bai Zhi turned back and looked at Ye Xiu with an ironic gaze, thinking it would be foolish to do so.
"I am your mother..."
Ye Xiu was sowhat agitated. She was Xingxing’s mother, even if she sotis neglected Xingxing. But she did have a daughter in her heart.
"So what? Even biological mothers can commit cris, thank you. I have to go now."
After finishing her words, Ye Xiu prepared to leave, not wanting to talk further.
But that superstition explanation, Bai Zhi didn’t believe a word of it.
As for why, she thought that only Nan Jin knew.
Now it seed Ye Xiu was just a person being used.
Ye Xiu was indeed unfortunate. Bai Da was no good, and this Nan Jin was not much better.
...
Bai Zhi was unsurprised when she learned that Nan Jin wanted to see her.
"Uncle Nan, do you have sothing you want to say?"
When Bai Zhi saw Nan Jin, she was still very polite.
"It’s been two days. Your mother and I have been in the detention center for two days. I don’t mind, but she is your mother. How can you be so indifferent?"
Nan Jin was already very tired, and he couldn’t afford to delay his ti anymore.
"I haven’t felt it, though I could have understood, but it depends on your attitude, Uncle Nan. Don’t you think?"
Bai Zhi clearly knew that the person behind this incident was Nan Jin.
"I don’t quite understand what you an. Xingxing, we might have been wrong, simply trusting in superstitions, but is it necessary to be so severe?"
Naturally, Nan Jin couldn’t admit anything, and he had always made Ah Xiu believe that it was because of believing that Feng Shui master.
"Actually, Uncle Nan, you’re overreaching."
Bai Zhi looked at Nan Jin, perhaps because of the inherent caution of a businessman, that’s why things had co to this point.
"You say if you had secretly investigated what you wanted, wouldn’t you have found out by now? And now... trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice."
At this mont, Bai Zhi’s gaze held a hint of mockery.
Nan Jin: "..." Wasn’t that for gaining Xiuxiu’s trust?
"And also, what you wanted to investigate..." Bai Zhi’s lips curled into a smile, "was it the reason behind my mom’s mories, or perhaps you also wanted to know about that thing that can hypnotize my mom?"
Nan Jin’s eyes narrowed. How did Bai Zhi know about this?
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Nan Jin imdiately denied, but the fleeting guilt in his eyes betrayed him.
"Knowing or not, either way, I want to tell you, don’t set your sights on the Bai Family. Otherwise, I will make sure you won’t return.
Uncle Nan, you know very well what you’re playing at."
Bai Zhi had thought for a long ti; there really was nothing much in that small courtyard of the Bai Family. The only thing possibly noteworthy was that bit about hypnotism by Bai Da.
If Nan Jin was together with Ye Xiu, then naturally the thing about her being hypnotized would also beco known.
A businessman dealing in dicinal materials would naturally know about these things. Wanting to know was normal.
After all, there was profit to be made in this, of course. If he said it wasn’t, that would be normal too.
Who would admit their own ulterior motives?
"Xingxing, you really can make things up. Have you been reading too many comics? I don’t know what you are talking about, and besides, we only gave you so painkillers."
Naturally, Nan Jin wouldn’t leave too much evidence; those dicine Powders detected would only amount to sleeping pills at most. And the ingredients of a painkiller...
"Right, but that’s enough. Enough for to sue you."
Bai Zhi, of course, knew that, but that was enough.
"You don’t want to talk about it, no worries, just wait for the results, you can be a couple who share weal and woe."
No matter the reason, no matter why, no matter how much of the dicine Powder was actually used, what’s done is done.
Besides, to act against one’s daughter due to superstitious beliefs is even worse than what Bai Da did.
Nan Jin: "..."
"Won’t you even spare your own mother?"
Nan Jin’s face had completely darkened by the end, he was so angry he could barely breathe.
"Maybe I’m heartless." Sorry, she really doesn’t see any problem with that.
Nan Jin: "..."
"Also, before you criticize , maybe you should take a look at yourself and see if you have any issues."
Nan Jin: "..." He had actually been out-argued by a young girl.
Bai Zhi, having left Nan Jin speechless, happily returned.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the village, she saw Bai Fei and Wu Wa waiting for her.
Feeling good, Bai Zhi had even bought so fish, planning to make hotpot fish.
"Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi, let us help you carry that."
Wu Wa quickly ran over to help with that.
Bai Fei also ca running, and Bai Zhi noticed she had slimd down quite a lot after not seeing her for several years.
"Cousin, you’ve lost weight, how did you manage that?"
Bai Zhi was sowhat surprised, as Bai Fei used to be unable to resist her own appetite. But now she had slimd down, which must have taken a lot of willpower.
"Hehe, you noticed, right? Don’t I look pretty now?"
Bai Fei happily twirled around a few tis. Previously, she could only envy others’ beauty, but now she could also be beautiful.
"And it’s not just , my mom lost weight too."
Bai Fei said mysteriously, catching Bai Zhi off guard. Even her aunt had lost weight?
"How did you do it, did you take the enzy I gave you?"
Before leaving last ti, Bai Zhi had given them the first generation of probiotic enzys extracted from fruits.
"No..."
Bai Fei felt a bit embarrassed; they had used it, but then realized it was too slow and required combining with exercise, and she didn’t want to exercise.
So...
"It was exercise."
Bai Fei didn’t want Bai Zhi to feel uncomfortable, so she refrained from explaining exactly what happened.
"Well, that’s great, let’s go back and make the hotpot fish."
Not only had Bai Zhi bought fish, but she also bought a lot of at for the hotpot, like lamb rolls, beef, and tripe.
There were even more vegetables, like potatoes, winter lon, pumpkin, lotus root, and various mushrooms.
It was all for everybody to have a good al together.
"Sounds good."
Bai Fei and Wu Wa helped out, and before long, the hotpot base was ready, just waiting to add the vegetables.
Bai Zhi noticed that previously gluttonous Bai Fei barely moved her chopsticks, having eaten just a few slices before putting them down.
Knowing her past habits, she used to be the last one willing to leave the table.
"Cousin, why aren’t you eating?"
Bai Zhi then looked seriously at Bai Fei, whose eyes already had dark circles beneath them.
Even her eyes didn’t seem as lively as before, "Did you not sleep well?"
It’s possible Bai Fei hadn’t slept well, considering she often went out.
"It’s not that, I’m just trying to eat less in the afternoon for weight loss."
