Chapter 129

“You might as well ask your old flame what she has done, instead of questioning me.” Bai Weijin couldn’t help but raise her voice.

“Tan Xin is a gentle woman who would not act like a virago.” The implication was that Bai Weijin was like that.

Bai Weijin’s heart ached badly with sorrow.

Weariness overcame her, and she didn’t want to continue the quarrel, “Since you believe in her, why not fire me? Do you expect me to apologize to her?”

“Shouldn’t you?”

Gu Yeze had almost lost his composure and couldn’t figure out why Bai Weijin would kick Tan Xin out.

“Gu Yeze?” Bai Weijin gave a sneer and paused. After a long while, she burst into laughter and left the last few words over the phone.

“You really make me sick.”

Then she hung up. Gu Yeze muttered a curse under his breath, smashing his phone to the wall. The broken parts fell down on the deep-pile carpet.

As Zhang Lanxin pushed the door open, she was greeted by Bai Weijin’s tearful eyes and worn-out face, which startled her out of her wits.

Bai Weijin always hated to admit defeat, while she looked extremely vulnerable at present.

“Sister Bai?” Zhang Lanxin opened her mouth.

Bai Weijin didn’t notice her presence until now. She wearily raised her head and managed to brace herself, “What’s up?”

Zhang Lanxin touched the file in her hand. Considering that the matter was not so urgent, she shook her head, “Nothing. I’ve got to work.”

For she thought Bai Weijin needed a good rest.

…

After work, Bai Weijin didn’t drive home but wandered along the streets.

It was long since Gu Yeze came home, and there was no word from him after the phone call.

Thinking that he just called to defend Tan Xin, Bai Weijin gave a sneer, and her voice soon faded away.

“Bai Weijin, you son of a bitch!” While she walked, a shrill female voice suddenly came from behind. Less than five meters away from her stood Bai Yinya.

‘What lousy luck!’

“My dear sister, I think you’re still on the mend. But, why are you here?”

Bai Yinya’s face darkened, for Bai Weijin mentioned her abortion on purpose.

“What are you talking about?” Bai Yinya went pale.

Yet Bai Weijin didn’t bother to repeat that.

“You never won the battle with me before you left Bai family. Now without any support, how dare you put on airs in front of me? Let me remind you that your father is still in hospital.” Bai Weijin cast a contemptuous glance at Bai Yinya.

Bai Yinya once heard from Du Meihua of her dad’s illness, but now she was none more than an ordinary citizen of H City.

Moreover, Bai Weijin was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

As long as she wanted, the woman could easily ruin her life at any time.

“Bai Weijin, I’ve been down on my luck. What else do you want?” Bai Yinya finally felt scared and shrank back.

Bai Weijin came up, “Nothing I want. Neither do I have any interest in looking at your face. Leave me alone, and you and your mother can live your life this way”.

Having finished the words, Bai Weijin walked away with a scornful look on her face.

Watching her receding figure, Bai Yinya finally broke down. She buried her head in her hands, knelt on the ground and had a good cry.

As she cried, her whole body twitched and jerked, and locks of her hair were pulled off.

Bai Weijin didn’t stop or turn around until she reached the corner.

She found Bai Yinya being mental as early as the day the latter was spotted fooling around with several scoundrels in front of the bar.

Bai Weijin had sent her people to find out the reason behind.

Yet the findings took Bai Weijin aback.

Although Du Meihua didn’t take Bai Yinya to any psychiatric clinic, Bai Weijin consulted a psychiatrist who made the judgment based on Bai Yinya’s symptoms.

Bai Yinya suffered from a mental disorder!

She often muttered to herself and would lose her consciousness at times.

What a tragic outcome!

Bai Weijin gave her another glance and turned around. ‘You’ve just got what you deserved.’

All this was witnessed by Tan Xin standing in the dark.

Before she left Gu’s Group, Bai Weijin walked out dejected, with her bag in her hand.

The very thought of her quarreling with Gu Yeze delighted Tan Xin a lot.

She immediately followed Bai Weijin.

It turned out that Bai Weijin seemed not to sever her ties with all her family… Tan Xin took out her cell phone and dialed a number. Soon there came a flattering sound.

“Is that Tan Xin speaking?”

“Yes,” Tan Xin replied coldly. “I need you to ask about a person.”

The man smiled, “I’m always at your service, my lady. The name?”

Tan Yi was in a trance but immediately came to her senses, pronouncing the name she hated very much, “Bai, Wei-jin”.

Then she hung up and let out a scornful sigh. She smiled sweetly to everyone that passed by.

‘Bai Weijin, who are you to challenge me?’

‘How dare you!’

The man was efficient enough to send Tan Xin all the information about Bai Weijin the same day, from her childhood to her personal record. Tan Xin casually browsed through it, and her eyes were fixed on a line.

Bai Hongbo, terminal cancer, almost beyond cure.

Tan Xin read every word out. She gave a grim smile in the dim light.

The document showed that Bai Weijin afforded all his medical and consumer expenditure. Despite their past, Bai Weijin would be distracted if there was anything wrong with Bai Hongbo.

Tan Xin decided to go to the hospital herself tomorrow.

Bai Hongbo was lying on the bed, his eyes closed. Tan Xin had no idea whether he was asleep or went into a coma. She crept into the ward, calling in a soft voice, “Uncle?”

Bai Hongbo made no reply. Tan Xin cautiously poked him in the rib and heaved a sigh of relief when she confirmed that he was in a coma.

“You are?”

Behind her came a male voice. Though he deliberately lowed his voice, Tan Xin was still startled.

She turned back and saw a middle-aged man in a doctor’s white gown.
