Chapter 125

Tan Xin thought and calmed down.

“Grandma Gu, Yeze. I will go home now and come to visit you when I am free.” Tan Xin knew that she had stayed in Gu’s Group long enough and would be regarded as pestering if she kept staying here.

Gu Yeze didn’t say anything and just nodded.

Grandma Gu smiled and said, “Ok, come and see me more often when you are free.”

Bai Weijin had walked to the corner, pretending not to hear the conversation behind her.

“Director Bai, where are you going?” asked Lanxin, who saw that Bai Weijin had just arrived at the office and then began to pack her bag and was about to go out.

Bai Weijin opened her mouth and moved her lips, but said nothing at last.

“Director Bai?” Seeing Bai Weijin act so abnormally, Lanxin walked around her and looked her up and down.

“Go to see a friend. Call me when you need me.”

Lanxin nodded.

Bai Weijin stood at the gate of the hospital again, with mixed feelings.

In fact, Bai Weijin used to wish that Bai Hongbo could die as soon as possible. She actually felt that people like Bai Hongbo did not deserve to live in the world. But the reality was her mom who was such a good person got a serious illness and died.

However, no one expected that Bai Weijin should visit Bai Hongbo in the hospital when he was seriously ill.

After all, Bai Hongbo was her only relative in the world.

The nurse greeted Bai Weijin with a nod, knowing that such a beauty must be either rich or noble.

“Miss, are you here to visit the patient in Ward 8617?”

“Yes.” Bai Weijin nodded her head awkwardly.

The ward was quiet. Bai Hongbo was staring blankly at the snow-white sheet. Bai Weijin opened the door.

Bai Hongbo was surprised to see Bai Weijin, “Weijin, why are you here?”

Bai Weijin hesitated and then went in. She looked like a fish out of water.

“I came here… to see you. How do you feel?”

There was a pleasant smile on Bai Hongbo’s face. Bai Hongbo suddenly felt that he owed his daughter too much and he regretted having neglected his daughter before.

“I’m fine. I know my health problem. Don’t bother to find any doctor for me.”

This topic was somewhat depressing, Bai Weijin didn’t want to talk more about it and just put the fruit basket on the table.

“How are you doing with Gu Yeze recently?” Bai Hongbo looked at Bai Wejin and wondered when his daughter, who was a little girl when Bai Hongbo first saw her, had already grown up.

Bai Weijin’s fingers rubbed against her legs.

‘How am I doing with Gu Yeze?’ Bai Weijin sneered.

Gu Yeze’s old lover came to him. Gu Yeyu, who had always been picky, was also close to Tan Xin. Grandma Gu was even fonder of her, and their intimacy even made Bai Weijin green with envy.

Bai Weijin listened to Tan Xin and Grandma Gu talking about their past, as if she was the outsider.

Bai Weijin was holding an apple. “Mind your own business.” The instant these words popped out of her mouth, Bai Weijin regretted.

Bai Hongbo looked a little depressed.

Over the years, Bai Hongbo had never cared about Bai Weijin. He even didn’t show up in her wedding and hurt Bai Weijin for the sake of Bai Yinya. It was no wonder that even if Bai Hongbo expressed concern for her now, Bai Weijin only felt that it was a Greek gift.

The whole ward fell into silence.

“I don’t mean anything else. I just hope you can have a better life.” Bai Hongbo explained in a low voice and even he himself felt the explanation was feeble.

Bai Weijin had been under great stress for several days, and eventually broke down when she heard Bai Hongbo saying this.

“Why didn’t you think so a few years ago? Why didn’t you think so when you left me and mom?” Bai Weijin’s torrent of words kept bombarding Bai Hongbo’s heart.

Seeing that Bai Hongbo bowed in silence, Bai Weijin suddenly felt it necessary for him to know more about their suffering.

“Do you have any idea what kind of life mom and I lived when mom was ill? Do you have any idea what mom and I had gone through before making up our mind to ask for your help? Do you still remember what you have done at that time?”

The flashback started and what happened many years ago popped up into Bai Weijin’s mind.

At that time, after listening to the request of Bai Weijin’s mom, Bai Hongbo was originally moved to some extent.

But then, Du Meihua came out.

She said something to Bai Hongbo and winked at him.

In the end, Bai Hongbo told Bai Weijin’s mom that Bai’s Group had a difficult time recently. Later, Du Meihua had them kicked out.

Bai Weijin almost sneered loud at the thought of this.

At that time, Bai Hongbo had just taken over Bai’s Group from Bai Weijin’s grandfather. Bai’s Group was very lucrative and flourishing.

Obviously, Bai Hongbo also recalled the old days.

“I’m sorry.”

Could an apology make everything start all over again? Sure it couldn’t. The harm that Bai Hongbo caused to Bai Weijin and her mom would never be made up for.

“I’ll leave now. Take good care of yourself.”

Bai Weijin no longer wanted to stay with him. Sure enough, Bai Weijin didn’t grow up to be so generous that she could forgive Bai Hongbo for the harm he brought.

“Weijin.” Bai Hongbo suddenly stopped her.

Bai Weijin halted but didn’t turn around.

“Is there anything that your mom wanted to say to me before she died?” Bai Hongbo’s fingers trembled, which were bony because of illness. He attentively waited for Bai Weijin’s answer.

“Nothing. She didn’t expect anything from you.” Bai Weijin left with these words.

After closing the door, Bai Weijin leaned against the wall and the tears welling up in her eyes finally dropped down.

Not all scars could be healed by time. Bai Weijin’s mom left her miserably, and she could not forget about her hatred for Bai Hongbo.

Just like… Gu Yeze and Tan Xin’s past existed no matter what happened, and Bai Weijin had to face it even if she didn’t want to.

“Miss Bai?” Bai Weijin heard someone calling her and raised her head. It was Dr. Xing.

“Is it convenient for you now? I have something to tell you.” Dr. Xing looked very solemn, and Bai Weijin followed him into the office.

“Doctor, how is my… father?” It was hard for Bai Weijin to say the word “father”.

Dr. Xing sighed, “Miss Bai, your father’s cancer cells have begun to spread, he could only live for at most… half a year.”

Bai Weijin suddenly felt out of breath, “What did you say?”

“The success rate of chemotherapy is less than 30%. I hope you could try to accept the result.” Dr. Xing had seen many kinds of patients’ families. All of them cried when they heard the bad news, but Bai Weijin was holding back her inner feelings.

Bai Weijin couldn’t hear whatever Dr. Xing said next. She walked out of the hospital in depression and Dr. Xing shook his head in situ.

Would the world not even leave her a single relative?
