Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Discussion
“Bai Jingshan was actually understandable. When I found out the whole story, speaking objectively, Bai Jingshan’s actions can’t be considered unforgivable. It was just all too coincidental.” It’s not that An Zhiyuan was defending Bai Jingshan; it’s really just that Bai Jingshan’s situation had so unavoidable mischief involved.
“You still say that! I haven’t even interrogated you about this. When did you find out? Haven’t you promised never to lie to ? Yet you kept such a big thing hidden from . An Zhiyuan, I’m really disappointed in you.”
An Zhiyuan’s face fell, feeling like he was plotted against by his father-in-law.
“Xiaoxiao, I truly had no choice. Bai Jingshan already confided in about this. I couldn’t act like I hadn’t heard it. I thought about it for a long ti, but I couldn’t tell you rashly. You have such strong resistance against your father; it’s not sothing I’m unaware of. I swear, this will be the last ti I hide anything from you. From now on, I’ll be completely transparent with Bai Xiao, holding nothing back.” He tightened her fingers in his palms—this was his wife, the person he loved the most.
Bai Xiao sighed and told the shopkeeper what food she wanted, “You haven’t eaten either, right? Let’s eat here and then take so food back for big brother.”
An Zhiyuan really did care for her, and she knew it. This man was overly afraid of hurting her; sotis, An Zhiyuan seed to care more about her than she did about him.
She did trust him.
“You’re not angry anymore?” An Zhiyuan asked nervously.
Since discovering this matter, it’s like there has been a knife hanging over his neck, never falling, truly making him uneasy.
“Why would I be angry? You’re also doing it for my good; am I that ungrateful? I was just upset at the ti. But thinking about it, what else could you do? If I were in your shoes, I might have done the sa.”
“Not being angry is good! Being angry isn’t good—causes wrinkles, and then you won’t be pretty anymore. My wife’s beautiful face can’t be marred by this; that would be my fault then.” An Zhiyuan instantly brightened up and even dared to joke.
“Second brother, Shang Kaiwen ca to the hospital today.”
If not now, it would have to be said sooner or later.
“She ca again? She never gives up; I’ll find soone to send her away.”
An Zhiyuan hoped Shang Kaiwen wouldn’t disrupt Bai Xiao’s life; he knew perfectly well how much Bai Xiao disliked people from the Shang Family. Previously, he might have had so concerns—after all, the Shang Family might have been Bai Xiao’s father’s family—but now the truth has co to light, Bai Xiao had no connection whatsoever to the Shang Family. This is better anyway, to prevent Bai Xiao from regretting it one day in the future.
He didn’t want Bai Xiao to bear a psychological burden.
“She said sothing today, claid she dreamt that I had the ability for Eternal Youth.”
An Zhiyuan’s face darkened; the fact that Bai Xiao’s secret was known by soone ant Shang Kaiwen absolutely couldn’t stay. Even if he couldn’t continue being a soldier, couldn’t keep working in the army, he couldn’t let anything happen to Bai Xiao.
But now isn’t a good ti. If sothing happens to Shang Kaiwen shortly after she spoke like this, so people might really suspect Bai Xiao, which would bring trouble onto oneself.
“I made a fuss about it; everyone in the hospital knows about this matter.”
Bai Xiao could see that An Zhiyuan was getting uneasy—probably in the sa protective way as Bai Song.
An Zhiyuan squeezed her hand on the table, “Eat sothing; people like her aren’t worth your attention. Whatever you do won’t be excessive. Don’t be afraid; I’m here, and whatever happens, I’ll handle it.”
“Second brother, it’s okay—don’t be afraid either. I blew it up on purpose. Think about it; Shang Kaiwen ca to threaten with this mindset! If I kept it hidden, it would be sothing to hold against —no matter what happens in the future, there would always be suspicion. If you really have nothing to feel guilty about internally, why let soone else lead you by the nose?
It’s better to make a fuss from the start; even those with ill intentions would have to think: if I really have sothing, why am I so reckless? I’m not a fool; doing so doesn’t benefit at all. Plus, I wanted to seize this opportunity to deal with Shang Kaiwen; she inadvertently gave a chance.”
In the previous life, no one would suspect her—because no one had ever encountered such inexplicable, science-defying things before! Who knows what might happen in the future, or if anyone else might be involved—Bai Xiao herself is unsure. But generally, people wouldn’t believe it.
“You’re right! What you did is correct. Shang Kaiwen is digging her own grave. I understand what you an; you don’t need to concern yourself with other matters. I’ll call Jiang Shaoqing and contact so of my friends. This issue isn’t big enough yet. We need to make the whole world see this joke and treat it as such, so no one will ever suspect you again.” An Zhiyuan, instinctively understanding, knew what to do.
Bai Xiao truly is very clever! She handled the situation quite adeptly on the spot.
Even Shang Kaiwen herself might start doubting whether she dreamt up sothing absurd.
“It’s best if you don’t involve your friends in this matter. You and I must not co forward about this issue, because so people with ill intentions will surely make associations. We must leave no room for any gaps.” Bai Xiao shook her head; she disagreed with finding An Zhiyuan’s comrades, having thoroughly considered it.
The more ticulous the actions, the fewer future repercussions.
An Zhiyuan added more food for her, “Eat up; I heard you just did a six-hour surgery today and must be exhausted. Eat more, and leave this issue to ; I have my ways, don’t worry, I’ll make sure no one can find any reason whatsoever.”
Bai Xiao smiled lightly; having An Zhiyuan around certainly brings her peace of mind. He often foresees what she needs.
Two heads are better than one.
After finishing the al, the two brought food to Bai Song. Upon seeing his brother-in-law, Bai Song’s face darkened.
“You dare to co see ? You traitor—you sold out so smoothly, never considering you’d have to see afterward.”
He hadn’t forgotten how An Zhiyuan sold him out to Bai Xiao.
“You still talk! It was almost because of you that Bai Xiao scolded to death. You don’t know this matter wasn’t ntioned by —it was Chunlu’s own mother who said it. So, could I find a way to shut her up?
And you still have the nerve to bla . I’m the one who got hurt badly by you, you aren’t aware of Bai Xiao’s temper, especially when you’re in trouble—Bai Xiao would want to eat alive.
I’m taking the fall for you, and you’re complaining about ? Brother-in-law, that’s really not right.”
Bai Xiao smiled and gave him a light slap, “You still talk, big brother! From now on, don’t conspire with An Zhiyuan to deceive . Otherwise, I won’t let you off next ti. Have you forgotten what you promised ?” An Zhiyuan’s skill in joking is increasingly agile—but whether it was her overlooking his nature when marrying him, or him revealing his true colors afterward, she couldn’t tell.
Regardless, he’s far from that steady Captain An.
Bai Song, sowhat sheepish, looked a bit guilty when his sister spoke up.
