Chapter 787: Chapter 735
Xu Yan’s expression darkened; naturally, he knew what he was doing. He brushed off Lin Huanhuan’s hand.
“I know what you’re up to, step aside.”
He was more aware than ever of his actions. As for Lin Huanhuan, in reality, she was the one lacking clarity.
“So, what about you? Do you know what you’re doing?”
Lin Huanhuan had always had the gaze of a young lady oblivious to worldly affairs, with words like innocent, kindhearted, and academic achiever frequently associated with her.
But being in that circle for so long without any craftiness? Xu Yan didn’t buy it at all.
As for whether others believed it or not, that didn’t really matter.
“Of course, I know. I’m here to watch over you. Don’t worry; do whatever you want. I even brought you a lot of things I know you’ll enjoy.”
Lin Huanhuan’s tone eased, and she spoke slowly.
The smile at the corner of her mouth never ceased.
But there was no acceptance. One minute passed, then two, then five, and still no sign of acceptance.
This changed the color of Lin Huanhuan’s face. She had never been so humiliated. As the leading character, Xu Yan had dealt her a massive blow… It was just too much…
“No need, I have nothing to talk to you about,” Xu Yan stated bluntly.
Having said that, Xu Yan was about to leave. But Lin Huanhuan suddenly grabbed hold of him. His gaze was icy, and his eyes were pitch black; Lin Huanhuan dared not look into them because they had never held her within them.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the higher-ups you’ve betrayed them?”
Xu Yan frowned and was about to speak when he got interrupted.
“What do you mean by betrayal? There’s no such thing between us, at most it’s just a peaceful termination of our agreement.”
Lin Huanhuan: “…”
When Bai Zhi returned home, it was already night. The Ancestor and Moh Li were both stunned, completely unaware of what was going on.
All the fireworks were being set off in the square. Bai Zhi and Moh Li had dinner quickly, then hurried to the square to find a spot.
The firework show began shortly after and was exceptionally beautiful and stunning.
Bai Zhi had not expected to see such beautiful fireworks today.
…
Bai Zhi ended up going to the hospital, learning that Bai Da had been brought in, but her mind wasn’t filled with thoughts; rather, it was blank.
She just felt a bit dazed—not moved or heartbroken, just instinctively bewildered.
Today, she had come to visit him out of gratitude. Almost as a formality, Bai Zhi had gone out to buy a few things.
So, in the moment she arrived at the hospital room, Bai Zhi somewhat wished not to enter, not out of a desire to flee but rather feeling it was meaningless.
The past had become history, and even if one wished to change it, there was no turning back.
When Bai Da saw Bai Zhi, he became very restrained, as if he were a child who had done something wrong, awaiting judgment.
“Xingxing, you’ve come to see me. I’m so happy.”
In the end, he had not received any news from Bai Zhi. Previously, he had waited every day for news of her—if she had awakened and how she was doing.
“Xingxing, how are your wounds? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? You have to tell Dad, okay?”
Bai Zhi sighed while looking at Bai Da, “I’m here to say thank you for shielding me before. But although I thank you, I won’t feel indebted to you.”
Bai Da had caused her much harm, and she couldn’t just let it go; thus, she was prepared to offer assistance.
Bai Zhi took out the Golden Needle, then locked the door from the inside before starting to treat Bai Da.
“My skills aren’t the best, so don’t move; otherwise, if there’s any mishap, I will…”
Though these acupoints had been needled countless times, it was still important to lay things out clearly in advance.
“No worries. If anything happens, it’s destined. I hope to donate my body.”
Bai Da had long realized that none of that mattered, what mattered was Xingxing.
“Xingxing, are you okay? Have you recovered a bit? Why have you lost weight? Girls shouldn’t diet, what does it matter if one is fat or thin?
I actually think it’s better to be chubby, it makes one look well-behaved, cute, and shows that they take care of the family.”
Bai Da started to chat with Bai Zhi, though his conversation was disjointed. Bai Zhi actually didn’t want to come. Really, who knows where he got those double eyelids from.
“I’m here to thank you, why are you telling me all this? Don’t move. Don’t you see I’m giving you acupuncture, and then you say I’m like a bamboo pole, especially a really skinny one.”
It was really speechless and uncooperative.
Bai Da felt somewhat embarrassed; how could he have forgotten that he used to be such a scoundrel?
He cooperated obediently and soon his loud shouts could be heard.
Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched; a man who couldn’t even stand this, it was really shameful.
After the golden needles were removed, Bai Da could finally move again, or else he thought he’d go mad.
“Xingxing, I feel much better now, Xingxing is truly amazing.”
Bai Zhi acted as if she hadn’t heard, packed up her things, and only then did she look at him.
“Xingxing, I…”
“We’re not close,” Bai Zhi said. If it weren’t for him acting crazy this time and actually saving her, she would certainly be living happily now.
“Xingxing, I’m sorry…” Bai Da was in tears, looking at his daughter today, whose actions seemed increasingly risky. “It’s just, can you please take care of your younger brother for a couple of days if something happens to me?”
“I don’t have a younger brother.” Bai Zhi directly rebutted, “As for taking care, he has a dad and a mom, what does that have to do with me?”
Bai Da was probably talking about Nan Xi, even thinking of having her take care. He really didn’t know where Bai Da got the courage to say such things.
Bai Da: “…”
He had said the wrong thing again.
“It’s not that I misspoke, it’s not your brother. It’s your mother, Bai Ye, with whom I no longer have any relationship. It’s just that I still think of her fondly.”
Bai Zhi didn’t expect it to be Ye Xiu. But it had nothing to do with her.
“Just take care of yourself.”
Bai Da: “…”
“I have other things to attend to, so I’m leaving.”
Bai Da wanted to stop Bai Zhi, but she had already opened the door sharply, only to find the food delivery person standing there.
“Sorry, I… I went to the wrong room…” Oh dear. This girl is so fierce…
“Xingxing…” Bai Da wanted to call out, but he didn’t have the right.
He already felt very happy because Xingxing had come.
“Xingxing came to see me.”
In the afternoon, when Bai Ye came, Bai Da excitedly began to speak.
He never expected that one day, even father would feel happy because of a word from Bai Zhi. Happiness.
“Oh.” Bai Ye was actually surprised.
“Why aren’t you happy, do you not like that I’m getting along well with your sister?”
Bai Da got angry all of a sudden, particularly upset.
“Not at all.” He was one hundred percent willing, but Xingxing wasn’t. Not willing to see him…
“No, Dad, of course I hope for that. It’s just that Bai Zhi still hates us, it’s better not to push things too far.”
Bai Ye thought for a moment before speaking; he really had his father’s best interests at heart.
Bai Ye actually had it tough, but he never complained, feeling that everything was arranged by fate. He had been wrong before, and whatever happened now was deserved.
“I know.”
