Lin Huanhuan always seed too eager to throw lives away, acting purely without brains. It looked like Han Sheng really had no one else under his command.
Otherwise, why would they have sent her?
"Are you feeling proud?"
Lin Huanhuan, looking at Bai Zhi’s calm and composed deanor, felt very annoyed.
It was as if nothing mattered to her, or perhaps nothing in her eyes was a concern.
"Not really, I just wonder why you’re in such a rush to throw lives away. Is it because ’pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years’?"
That might be one reason, otherwise, "Otherwise, it must be that Han Sheng really has no one else, so he could only send you out of desperation?"
Bai Zhi, rubbing her chin, seed to be deep in thought and suddenly burst into laughter. "Ah, I’ve got it! Maybe he thought that since you’re pregnant, we might sympathize with you?
I’m sorry, but I don’t feel a thing."
Lin Huanhuan was livid, yet she was helpless against Bai Zhi.
Today, she had acted impulsively. She was just using a prenatal checkup as an excuse to see if Han Feng was at the hospital. When she saw Bai Zhi, she wanted to seize her, which is why, on an impulse, she was caught.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just ca for a prenatal checkup, and you suddenly captured . I was really surprised; I don’t know those people."
Lin Huanhuan quickly regained her composure; she absolutely couldn’t admit it. As a pregnant woman, that was her advantage; they simply couldn’t do much to her.
"Oh, you don’t know them?" Bai Zhi nodded indifferently and then blinked, seeming to actually believe it.
"Great, why did you detain then? Let go imdiately."
Lin Huanhuan had grown bolder at that mont and imdiately spoke out.
They couldn’t really do anything to her, as long as she didn’t admit to anything.
"Sorry about that." Bai Zhi pulled out a recorder from her bag.
"Because I tend to encounter bad guys. And they’re always stubborn, so I’ve got into the habit of carrying a recorder. See how convenient it is."
Bai Zhi pressed play, and Lin Huanhuan’s voice ca out.
Lin Huanhuan: "..." Really... unlucky.
"You, how could you..." Lin Huanhuan, shaking with anger, couldn’t believe Bai Zhi had pulled such a stunt. Now she was completely exposed.
"So, are you innocent? What about those underlings of yours? They’ve confessed."
Bai Zhi’s mouth curled into a smile, looking particularly adorable. Her eyes twinkled like stars.
Lin Huanhuan: "..."
"Aren’t you curious about my relationship with Xu Yan?" Guided by a woman’s intuition, she felt certain there was sothing between Bai Zhi and Xu Yan.
"Not curious at all. If I wanted to know, I wouldn’t need to hear it from you."
That was her unspoken agreent with her brother; no matter the issue, they didn’t need to learn it from others but asked directly and spoke honestly. That was their understanding.
Lin Huanhuan: "..."
"I have to go; I have things to do. Goodbye, Miss Lin Huanhuan."
Bai Zhi stood up, ready to leave. She had many things to attend to; her visit here was only supposed to last half a day, yet it had almost been a full day.
Bai Zhi left the hospital and went straight to shop, then visited Bai Xin’s house to see Yueliang.
The aunt had already been discharged and was resting at ho.
They had hired a maid, secured by Bai Dan so it was safe and even Grandpa Li had co to stay.
Considering the baby was still young and shouldn’t be disturbed, they planned to return to the city after another couple of months, better to wait until Yueliang was a bit older.
When Bai Dan arrived, Li Mo was cooking. On seeing Bai Zhi, his fish gutting hands paused.
"Xingxing, you’re here! Your aunt just fell asleep. Check if Yueliang is awake, and help watch over him while I cook."
"Okay."
Bai Zhi pushed the door open and went in. Sure enough, Yueliang was awake and was happily smiling at her.
Bai Zhi carefully picked up Yueliang; the little fellow had gotten chubbier and looked even cuter.
"Yueliang, have you been good?"
Having stayed at Bai Xin’s house for a while and eaten her al, she prepared to leave, but Bai Xin persuaded her to stay.
"It’s been several days. Don’t you want to spend a night at your aunt’s house?"
"How could I not? I just thought of going back early. Now we even have shuttle buses to the village; it’s very convenient. I’ll co again in a few days and bring you so old hens."
Bai Zhi’s reluctance wasn’t about staying; it’s just that there were too many people in the village now, and she felt uneasy not going back.
Even though Moh Li was there, she still felt the need to go back and check on things.
"You really are like your grandfather; wherever you go, you always want to return ho."
Bai Xin was sowhat helpless; she rembered that her dad was the sa, always fussing about going ho whenever he visited.
"Who is talking about ?"
Bai Dan’s voice rang out from outside the door, and he brought two young ladies with him.
"Bai Xin, these are your two cousins; starting today, they’ll live here." Now that Han Sheng had lost everything, he feared he might do sothing desperate.
Therefore, it was also crucial for Bai Xin to be cautious. The girls he brought with him were retired service mbers; having them care for Bai Xin would ease his mind, and it was also good for supporting their reemploynt.
After all, many people can’t find suitable jobs after leaving the military.
"Thank you, cousins,"
Bai Xin obviously knew this, so she didn’t resist and imdiately responded with a smile.
anwhile, Bai Zhi went back ho with Bai Dan, sitting behind him on his tricycle, enjoying the breeze on her face.
She still rembered those days when Grandpa would take her like this to town to sell things and make money. Those were really good tis.
"Xingxing, are you cold? If you’re cold, cover yourself with the blanket. We’re going ho now, and we’ll do a barbecue, I’ve bought a lot of stuff."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The journey ho was filled with conversation, sothing they hadn’t enjoyed in a long ti.
When they got ho, the sky was filled with stars, and they could see the village brightly lit from afar.
"You know, this traditional village is also quite nice. At least now, everyone can make money from ho."
"Yes, in the past, the village was mostly elderly and children, but now the adults have all co back. Our village is going to beco more lively."
But amid this liveliness, there were many with ill intentions.
They couldn’t just reject tourists because of this; they had to be very, very careful.
"Grandpa, will you co back and stay with all the ti?"
Bai Dan had made up his mind; he was old and, even though he wanted to serve his country, he was not as capable anymore. It would be better to co back.
Once everything settled down, he would cook for Xingxing every day, make little bamboo crafts and take her to school.
"Grandpa, you are not old. You should work a couple more years, otherwise people might talk, saying I don’t support your job.
I understand, Grandpa, but don’t worry, Moh Li is with ."
Actually, Bai Dan knew sothing. Living alone in the mountains was tough, and he was afraid Xingxing wouldn’t be able to handle it.
