Chapter 701: Chapter 709: Haven’t You Forgotten the Needles You Stuck into My Body?
There were too many things happening, and Li Sisi’s emotions were on the verge of collapsing and erupting. Bai Guang’s words were undoubtedly the fuse.
She exploded instantly.
“So, you were caught in the act. Nothing to say now?” Li Sisi yelled, “My dad was right; all these years, your kindness to was all deceit. You never truly cared for .”
The more Li Sisi thought about it, the angrier she beca. She once thought Bai Guang was pretty good. At the very least, she believed he held so love for her, his wife, in his heart.
But now, it all seed like bullshit.
His heart had never held a place for her.
“Sisi, don’t you think you’re being a bit excessive?” Bai Guang said with a bitter smile. He knew that when Li Sisi got angry, her words could cut like a knife.
He could tell himself not to take it to heart, but that didn’t an he wouldn’t feel hurt…
“Excessive?” Li Sisi scoffed coldly, “I’ve been revolving around your family for so long. Haven’t I been nice to all of you? But when it cos to Bai Zhi, what exactly Bai Yu went to do, you just won’t tell . Even the school doesn’t allow in. And you say you all don’t have secrets?”
She knew so things; she just hadn’t pursued them to the end.
“I wanted that money, but I did not betray you. Can’t you just tell what secrets you are hiding?”
Li Sisi continued moving closer to Bai Guang as her tears finally started to fall.
“I wanted to be a successful woman. Was I wrong? I worked so hard. But Bai Zhi ssed things up as she pleased. She never considered an aunt…”
So much for being one family—her mother was deceiving ghosts.
“You… Because you want to be a strong woman, you can neglect your daughter’s health? You can pretend that your ‘product’ has no issues? Do you even realize, if sothing happens, you would be responsible? Now it’s not only your daughter who’s a victim…”
Bai Guang was at a loss. Was she still dreaming of making a fortune?
“If you want to start a business, I won’t object. Whatever you want to do, we will definitely support you. But you can’t do sothing that goes against morality, understand?
Bai Zhi and Bai Yu are just boarding at the school. If you wanted to visit, you could have just gone. How did we keep that from you?”
Bai Guang said and walked away because it was impossible to reason with her.
At the sa ti, he discovered once again that Li Sisi had always been suspicious and covetous of the Bai Family.
Could this realization make his heart grow even colder?
…
Bai Zhi and Wu Wa quickly packed their things and were ready to return.
Li Mo helped to load their things in the car, and then Bai Zhi locked the door.
That lock was old and not one that just anyone could open.
After closing the door, Bai Zhi turned around and saw Bai Da.
With a basket on his back and a hoe in hand, Bai Da seed like he was heading to work the fields.
He stood at a distance, watching Bai Zhi. In no ti at all, Bai Da appeared to have aged over ten years.
“Bai Ye said, your mother wants to see you…”
Bai Da thought for a long ti but ultimately decided to speak up.
“These past few days, Bai Ye has been trying to find a way, but he also has no solution.”
At that mont, Bai Da looked quite calm. There were no signs of him going insane.
Their conversation was so peaceful; it was quite rare.
“Oh.”
Bai Zhi replied indifferently, as she was planning to visit, with or without Bai Da ntioning it.
“Xingxing…”
Bai Da tentatively spoke the na that he should have called her a long ti ago.
Bai Zhi’s face grew cold, and she looked at Bai Da with sarcasm.
“Don’t call that. You have no right to use that na.”
He couldn’t think that just because she was willing to talk to him ant she was now able to get along with him well.
“Sorry, I was wrong.”
Bai Da looked at Bai Zhi cautiously, wanting to take another glance at his daughter, but he was afraid, afraid of seeing that indifferent look in her eyes.
This was his daughter. This was his Xingxing.
Yet, he had hurt her the deepest with his own hands.
Now wanting to make ands, he didn’t know how to move forward.
“Bai Zhi, I saw the mountain pears are ripe, and there are grapes too, I picked so for you. Do you… want to try them?”
He put down the carrying pole, inside were pears and grapes he had personally picked from the mountain.
Bai Zhi’s gaze grew colder. “The back hill belongs to our family; you picked our pears. Do you know that those are ant to be sold? There are people specifically assigned to pick them. You just took them without asking…”
Although they didn’t live in the village, they had sold the formula for the canned goods, and the village’s production was their own every year.
So Bai Da had picked their pears.
“No, I know.”
Bai Da hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head to explain.
“I picked them from another hilltop. Try them, see if they’re good?”
Bai Da held them in his palms, walking towards Bai Zhi, his back hunched without his realization.
His face bore deep wrinkles, and his hair had turned salt and pepper.
But so what?
Bai Zhi picked up a pear, lifted it above her head, and looked at it against the sunlight…
“I rember, one year you also bought a few pears, I really wanted to eat them, but I was scared, I could only sneakily hold them in my hand, touching and licking them.
And you scolded harshly. You said it was for making rock sugar snow pears for Nan Xi.”
Bai Zhi’s cold and piercing gaze shifted and she threw it directly at Bai Da.
“Now you co pretending to love , do you think I still need it? Bai Da, have you forgotten the twenty-two needles you personally placed in my body?”
So coming now, playing the loving father, must be a case of amnesia, right?
“I know… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Bai Da’s body slowly crouched down on the ground; he knew all he had done was unforgivable.
He knew it, so he didn’t dare hope for Xingxing’s forgiveness.
“So don’t appear before , or just pretend you don’t recognize , with your appearance. Is it disgusting to you or to ?”
No matter how he felt now, the hurts of the past, the damage spanning lifetis, would never be erased.
After finishing speaking, Bai Zhi got in the car with Li Mo, while Wu Wa stood behind, raising her fist at Bai Da.
“Stay away from my Ah Zhi, or I’ll beat you up.”
Wu Wa too got into the car after that.
The car slowly drove away, Bai Zhi’s gaze turned to the outside. The weather really was nice today…
When they arrived in the county, Bai Zhi ultimately let Li Mo take her to the police station.
There, she saw Ye Xiu again, who now looked sowhat worn, yet her hair was still impeccably tied up.
“Xingxing, I never imagined that we, mother and daughter, would co to this one day.”
Ye Xiu never thought that the daughter she once neglected would be the cause of her ending up in custody.
“Yes, I didn’t expect that either. I always thought we could live together in peace.”
At that ti, she truly hoped that her future would be good.
“The truth is, you did nothing wrong. You just wanted to clarify what we needed to do, and I, foolishly, believed those absurd rumors. Wanting to change the feng shui…”
Bai Zhi looked at the current Ye Xiu, opened her mouth, not sure if so words should be said…
