Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 488 Mom’s Baby

"Baby, it’s not your fault, you don’t need to apologize to mommy. Even if you really did sothing wrong, you don’t need to apologize to mommy, because you are my daughter, mommy’s little baby..."

Bai Yulan smiled gently, wiping away the tears from her daughter’s eyes.

It was as if ti had rewound, returning to the past, back to the days when she and her daughter relied on each other for survival.

The breeze was light, the sunlight warm, and her heart was full of love.

"But... but..." Lan Xinyi choked with sobs.

"Alright, don’t talk about these things. Mommy is already very happy to see you again."

Bai Yulan kissed her daughter’s little face once more.

"Is my baby hungry? What do you want to eat? Mommy will make you your favorite garlic-flavored cuttlefish."

As she caressed her daughter’s little face, Bai Yulan’s joy was almost overflowing.

But at this mont, Lan Xinyi whispered, "Mommy, I’m already dead, I’m a ghost, I can’t eat anything."

"Don’t talk nonsense, you are fine, how could you be a ghost?"

"Say ’peh peh peh’ with mommy, to spit out the bad luck, and spit out the bad words..."

"Mommy, I really am a ghost, it’s my brother who let co back to see you..."

Lan Xinyi said as she slowly disappeared from Bai Yulan’s embrace.

Bai Yulan’s smile froze on her face, she felt dizzy, the continuous impacts put her under imnse ntal stress, and she fell backward.

"Mommy..."

Lan Xinyi appeared in a panic, pushing Bai Yulan’s body, crying helplessly.

...

Seemingly hearing her daughter’s cries, Bai Yulan fought off the dizziness, slowly lifting her hand to touch her daughter’s cheek.

"Don’t be afraid, my baby, mommy will save you..."

...

"Don’t be afraid, my baby, mommy will save you, mommy is here..."

In a daze, it was as if she returned to the day of the standoff with the kidnapper.

The kidnapper wore a yellow feather coat, a Sun Wukong mask, completely covered, revealing no distinct features.

The kidnapper held a knife, and next to him, her daughter was bound hand and foot, trembling in fear, crying incessantly.

Bai Yulan’s heart shattered, as if thrown into a at grinder, shredded to pieces.

"Eight hundred thousand, it’s all here, the money is yours, let her go, let my daughter go..."

Bai Yulan nudged the bag at her feet forward.

The kidnapper said nothing, rely kicked her daughter to the side.

"No." Bai Yulan scread in horror.

Watching her daughter roll toward the edge of the cliff, she lunged forward, trying to catch her falling daughter.

The assailant took advantage of the mont to grab the bag and run away.

Turns out the kidnapper wanted to buy himself ti to escape.

Bai Yulan was still too slow, unable to catch her daughter; it felt as if her heart fell off the cliff along with her.

"Xiao Bao..."

Bai Yulan let out a distressed scream.

"Mommy..."

Lan Xinyi cried out in fear.

Just then, Bai Yulan suddenly noticed a rope tied around her daughter, one end fastened to a tree at the edge of the cliff.

The killer didn’t intend to kill Lan Xinyi, but rather to buy more ti to escape.

Because Bai Yulan, for her daughter, wouldn’t chase him.

If what the kidnapper thought was true, Lan Xinyi didn’t care about the eight hundred thousand, her only thought now was to pull her daughter up from the cliff.

Reignited with hope, Bai Yulan used all her strength to pull her daughter up, even as her palms were cut and bled; years later, the scars still remained.

But accidents often happen unexpectedly. Just as her daughter was about to be pulled up, the other end of the rope suddenly ca loose, and her daughter fell straight off the cliff.

It’s unknown if it was truly an accident, or purposely done by the kidnapper.

In that instant, Bai Yulan’s freshly rekindled hope was instantly extinguished, the huge impact made her faint imdiately.

When she awoke again, she was in the hospital.

The police had sent her to the hospital, and her daughter’s body had been recovered, mangled beyond recognition.

Since then, Bai Yulan lived like a walking corpse, struggling daily with remorse and sorrow.

Her only hope to continue living was to find that person, she wanted to get justice for her daughter.

-----------------

"Xiao Bao, don’t cry, mommy is fine, mommy is okay." Bai Yulan tried hard to comfort her.

Lan Xinyi grabbed her hand, "Mommy, don’t be sad, I... I am really fine now, truly fine, I can even fly, I can go anywhere I want..."

Bai Yulan braced herself, looking at her daughter, her gaze gentle as she said, "Xiao Bao, I’m sorry."

"Mommy, why do you say you’re sorry?" Lan Xinyi tilted her head, very puzzled.

"Because Mommy couldn’t save you, if only I had been stronger, maybe..."

"Mommy, I’ve never blad you, you are my mommy, never say sorry to , because you are my mommy, I love you..."

Even though she felt dizzy and weak, Bai Yulan couldn’t help but smile after hearing that.

Tears cascaded from her eyes as she smiled.

Lan Xinyi reached out her tiny hand to wipe her face, helping to dry her tears.

"Mommy, why are you crying again, don’t cry, okay? I’m not crying."

"I won’t cry, I won’t cry, tell , what happened?" Lan Xinyi tried to prop herself up, leaning against the bed, holding her daughter in her arms.

"Because of the brother I just t..."

Lan Xinyi’s voice contained so excitent.

-----------------

"This piece of jade is quite excellent, I can’t tell exactly where it originates, but the price should not be low, where did you get it?"

Taozi examined the Jade Guanyin in her hand, full of curiosity.

"Tang Tang found it on the beach," Shen Siyuan said.

Taozi: ...

She turned to see Tang Tang on the lawn, the little one was wearing a blue ruffled swimsuit, with a small yellow duck swim ring, grinning foolishly, looking silly.

"Is this a case of a fool having luck?" Taozi remarked helplessly.

Though she had seen many miraculous things from Tang Tang, she was still surprised every ti.

"Tang Tang is not foolish, she’s quite smart." Shen Siyuan reached out and took back the Jade Guanyin from her hand.

"Do you have any connections to help sell it?" Shen Siyuan rubbed it with his thumb, feeling a smooth warmth.

"No, but you can ask Ruan Ruan, but why sell it? Wouldn’t it be better to keep it? It’s a good thing." Taozi said.

"To her, it ans nothing, turning it into cash is most practical." Shen Siyuan gestured with his eyes at Mao Sani who was busy.

Taozi understood upon hearing this.

"You have thought it through."

Shen Siyuan glanced at the whiteness in front of her chest, then asked, "What is Ruan Ruan talking about with that butler?"

In the villa corridor, Ruan Hongzhuang was sitting face to face with the property manager she t in the morning, seemingly discussing sothing.

"Oh, Ruan Ruan is planning to buy a villa here."

"What? So rashly?" Shen Siyuan was surprised upon hearing this.

"Rash? Ruan Ruan has already gotten used to this environnt all morning and made this decision; how is that rash?"

It seems quite reasonable.

Reasonable, my foot, it’s simply the recklessness of the wealthy.

Just as they were talking, Ruan Hongzhuang and the property manager finished their conversation and began walking towards them.
