chapter 10

Hearing that Aunt Li was about to cry, Bai Weijin looked pale. Then a strong sense of coldness was shown in her eyes while she tried to contain her anger, “Don’t worry, I’ll go back now.”

A pitter-patter.

The first big drop of rain began to fall, and immediately it was raining cats and dogs. Bai Weijin could not even open her eyes in the downpour and she could only grin and bear it. Putting her mobile away, she turned around and ran back like crazy.

Sharp stones cut her skin and hurt her tender feet, but she did not care at all.

Even though she was always as tough as nails in front of others, the most tender and interior part of her heart was hit tens of thousands of times at this moment. Bai Weijin felt herself crumble in an instant. Her mind went blank, and she could not attend to anything else.

Mom… Mom’s stuff… There couldn’t…Couldn’t be anything wrong!

Bai Weijin was out of breath from running. Wind blew salty and bitter rain into her mouth and nose, almost choking her to death. She did not even notice that a familiar car was running along her and stopped somewhere behind her.

“Stop.” Gu Yeze stared at the woman who was totally unaware of his presence dashing away and emerged an obscure look, “Go.”

Bai Weijin had no idea how many miles she had run. She got innumerous cuts on her fair feet, which were whitened by the rain. Finally, the gate of Bai’s house came into her view in a haze.

The entrance was piled high with her stuff, including quilt, sheet, books, quantities of supplies, and…

Bai Weijin crouched down, picked up an old lamp that had been thrown into pieces and touched it tenderly in her arms. After the mud was wiped off its surface, the faint yellow color revealed itself.

She seemed to see a gentle woman holding a picture book and slowly telling a fairy tale in front of the lamp.

From an early age, Bai Weijin received care and support from only one person—her mother. She abandoned everything in pursuit of love but was regarded as a mentally sick woman and detained in a small black room by her husband. Despite that, she never uttered any complaint in front of her daughter. Instead, she did her best to give her daughter her greatest love and tenderest teaching.

So, Bai Weijin never complained that she didn’t have a father, and her only wish was to live such a life with her mom forever.

However, fate played cruel tricks sometimes. Her mother died of a certain disease, and Bai Weijin was taken back to Bai family. It was not until then that she learned she had a father who married another woman long ago and had another daughter.

As for Bai Weijin, she was an outsider from beginning to end.

Things her mother left behind were her driving force for living a good life… The stuff freed her from hatred and prompted her to show her true self! How could it be destroyed?

Tears blurred her eyes when a pair of bright high-heeled shoes hove into Bai Weijin’s sight. She immediately hid her grief and held tightly the lamp. When she looked up at Bai Yinya, her eyes were icily cold with bitter resentment that could make anyone shudder.

Seeing her look, Bai Yinya who was burning with rage suddenly shivered with fear and became speechless.

Bai Weijin’s fierce look seemed to grip her throat like gallows, making her unable to breathe.

Just then, Du Meihua came out, standing next to Bai Yinya. She sarcastically glanced at Bai Weijin who was rain-drenched and sneered, “Have you no shame? How can you come back? Must have been dumped by your patron? I suggest you should look at yourself in the mirror and give up your fancy of being a kept woman!”

Hours ago, Yan Sheng was slugged by those men in black, whom they could not stop. In a moment Bai Hongbo received a phone call, saying something went wrong in the company. He hurried to his office, leaving those two at a loss.

Before long, those people seemed to have received an order and left. Bai Hongbo also called back, telling them the company was in a good state.

Du Meihua guessed that something unpleasant happened between the man and Bai Weijin. Then she and Bai Yinya threw Bai Weijin’s stuff out with an eye to driving the girl out of Bai family completely.
