Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Xue’s eyes widened and the corners of her mouth opened in disbelief. “W-What did you say?”
“I said, 1 can.” Shi Man promised her solemnly. “If you’re willing to believe , 1’11 save you and your mother from the Bai family. At that ti, it’s up to you to decide if the child in your stomach will stay or leave.”
Bai Xue still found it hard to believe that soone would be willing to help her.
She had thought that the Shi family would be angry and threaten her after knowing this. Just like Bai Yao, they would only see her as a tool to achieve their goal. However, Shi Man said that she was willing to save her and respected her own thoughts.
“I…” Bai Xue opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, but the lump in her throat made her unable to speak. She could only turn her head away and say word byword, “If I listen to Bai Yao, at least she can let and my mother go after she achieves her goal. But if I believe you, once you don’t succeed, my mother might die at any ti.”
Shi Man sat up straight and raised her eyebrows slightly. “How about this? I’ll bring your mother to a safe place first, then you can decide if you want to cooperate with . Don’t you want to take revenge on Bai Yao for the pain she caused you?”
Bai Xue was shocked. Her pupils constricted, and even her tears were hanging in her eyes. “I, I want to.”
The white bedsheet was twisted in her hand. Thinking of that painful night and Bai Yao’s coercion, she wished she could let Bai Yao taste the sa torture as her.
Shi Man could see the monstrous hatred in her eyes and smiled in satisfaction. “Very good. It’s settled then. Tell about your mother and I’ll help you think of away.”
Actually, Shi Man could investigate all of this herself, but letting Bai Xue say it herself could strengthen the latter’s determination to hate the Bai family. This could prevent a possible betrayal by Bai Xue in the future.
Bai Xue fell back onto the bed exhausted. She widened her eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling above her. The pungent sll of disinfectant filled her surroundings, and the corridor was noisy.
But ironically, this was actually the most comfortable place she had ever lived in her life.
She was the daughter of the Bai family. Her mother was a mistress raised by Father Bai.
When she was young, she had gotten along well with the children around her because of her peaceful personality. It was only when Bai Yao’s mother ca knocking on her door that everyone seed to know her mother’s identity overnight.
Her friends, who was originally on good terms with her, would throw stones at her window every day. When she was in school, she was often bullied. Even the teachers would privately call her mother a b*tch and call her a little b*tch.
But she had done nothing. She had never even received fatherly love, and yet she had to be criticized by that man’s family for no reason. She had to beco a rotten person who was stepped into the mud and could never recover.
Later, for the sake of reputation, the school found her mother and tactfully persuaded her to let Bai Xue drop out.
She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even have the right to go to school, but the father who had hard them to this extent still didn’t appear.
Her mother suffered from depression because of this and drank at ho every day.
In order to support her family, she had been working part-ti everywhere after dropping out of school. She had been in a daze and had been called a b*tch until she was numb. Not long ago, the Bai family suddenly snatched her mother away and forced her to commit to a man she had never seen before.
What was even more shaful was that she was pregnant with that man’s child, making her baby out to be a tool that could be abandoned at any ti.
Shi Man listened to her story quietly with a frown and disgust in her eyes. “Then do you know where they took your mother?”
Bai Xue lowered her eyes dejectedly and shook her head. “I don’t know. They deliberately separated from my mother to force to agree to approach your brother. If I don’t do as she says, they will kill my mother. On the contrary, if your brother doesn’t listen to , she will expose everything that happened that night.”
Su Tang clenched her fists in shock. She almost blurted out so swear words that she had never said before, but because of her usual self-restraint, she forced them back. She endured it and said, “Manman, can you find out her mother’s whereabouts?”
Bai Xue looked over expectantly.
Shi Man smiled and looked back at her confidently. “1 can investigate, but you have to help do sothing first.”
“What is it?” Bai Xue’s eyes finally lit up.
Shi Man retracted her smile and said mysteriously, “I want Bai Yao to tell her true motive.”
According to Bai Yao’s previous actions, she clearly didn’t just want to destroy Shi Mu. She must have a deeper goal. In the Shi family, only Shi Mu could help her achieve this goal.
Bai Xue thought for a while in silence. She suddenly looked up and a determined expression appeared on her pale face. “Alright, 1’11 cooperate with you. As long as you can save my mother, I’ll abort the child and have nothing to do with the Shi family after this..”
