chapter 85

Zhao Lei showed a look of smug satisfaction. Since Bai Weijin had an accident, Gu family must have been in no mood for anything else.

Then everything would go as he wished.

…

Bai Weijin and Gu Yeze walked out of the hospital.

Bai Weijin told Gu Yeze to release the driver, and the traffic police could finally knock off work. For this reason, each of them showed gratitude to Bai Weijin when they left.

There were few in H City that Gu Yeze listened to.

Bai Weijin reclined on the seat and remained silent, her eyes closed. Gu Yeze stepped down the accelerator. The car drove along the road at a steady pace.

No soon had they been back home than Gu Yeze took Bai Weijin in his arms.

“Tell me, what happened then?”

Bai Weijin took his hand, “I just thought of my mom, or do you think someone bullied me?”

Gu Yeze made no reply, took her to the bedroom and made her lie down.

Bai Weijin was taken aback, “What are you doing, Gu Yeze? I’m feeling sick now!”

Gu Yeze’s face fell.

“I just want you to have a rest. What do you think I’m gonna do to you?”

“…Well.”

She did misunderstand him, though concerning his usual behavior, she had every reason to be suspicious.

His words and gestures made Bai Weijin relax a lot. She thought for a moment before opening her mouth, “My mom is a very nice woman, both as wife and as mother.”

Gu Yeze sat down beside her.

Bai Weijin changed into a more comfortable position and continued, “Later… She broke down when Bai Hongbo betrayed their love. How silly she was!”

As a result, Bai Hongbo treated her mom as a psychotic and locked her in a dark room.

Bai Weijin and her mother lived in the unlit room ever since then, but the former didn’t feel unhappy about that.

There were occasions when her mom recalled Bai Hongbo and gazed blankly at the wall.

Most of the time, she was none more than an ordinary woman who tried her best to bring her daughter up and provide Bai Weijin with good education.

Despite an unhappy marriage, her mom always told Bai Weijin to look to the future with confidence.

“She got sick, but I couldn’t afford the medical charge even though I worked on a part-time basis. I could only watch her get thinner every day.”

Gu Yeze said nothing but stroked her hair tenderly. Bai Weijin always seemed too strong to be taken care of, which upset him from time to time.

But now he couldn’t help but feel sorry as she showed her weakness in front of him.

Bai Weijin restrained herself from crying.

Her mother suffered severely from the lingering illness and died of it on the bed.

“One day after Mom’s death, a man who professed to be my father came to our house to take me to his home. As I remember, his well-pressed suit was quite out of tune with the shabby alley.”

It was not until then that Bai Weijin knew she had a father. She blamed him for not turning up when they needed him.

But Bai Weijin saw him as a straw to grasp at when she was all alone and was taken to Bai house by him.

All that she said was, in fact, familiar to Gu Yeze, for his men had found out her family background after their first encounter.

But it was quite different to listen to her tell her own story and to feel how she felt those days.

Bai Weijin continued, “I went home with my dad in anticipation, to find that I also have a step-mother and a step-sister.”

Du Meihua smiled at her, “Welcome home.”

But Bai Yinya, the inconsiderate young girl, gave her an icy glare. No matter what Du Meihua said, she wouldn’t regard Bai Weijin as her sister.

Bai Weijin also showed a sullen look in the front of the two villains who had robbed her of a normal family.

Time flied. Bai Weijin grew up into a lady.

Thanks to the good education she received from childhood, Bai Weijin began to shine at everything, thus incurring Du Meihua’s displeasure.

“Do you know why Bai Hongbo hates me?” asked Bai Weijin while opening her eyes suddenly.

“He always wanted a son. Du Meihua then became pregnant, which delighted him a lot. However, in order to set me up, she pretended to fall down on the ground and miscarried. Bai Hongbo was quite angry, giving me a slap.”

Smart as she was, the young girl Bai Weijin could scarcely get the better of the old bird.

From then on, Bai Hongbo completely ignored her. She also learned to think twice before doing anything.

This was the first time Gu Yeze heard of it. He clenched his fists, “The bloody fool!”

“I wondered why Mom fell in love with such a man and wasted her youth on him. Since then, I have had no confidence in marriage.”

Actually, her mom and Bai Hongbo had a romantic relationship in the very beginning, yet he finally gave in to the temptation of novelty.

There was one thing Bai Weijin didn’t know—Her mom’s second pregnancy ended in miscarriage due to Du Meihua’s dirty trick in order to seduce Bai Hongbo. Bai Weijin was also nearly killed at that moment.

In case those things cast a shadow over Bai Weijin’s happy childhood, her mom never mentioned it to her.

Gu Yeze held her wrist in a firm grip, “Our marriage won’t be like that, I promise you.”

He was not so stupid as Bai Hongbo to desert a good wife.

Bai Weijin looked at him, “Now the villains get what they deserve. I’m neither the kind to return good for evil nor the one to swallow my anger like Mom. Instead, I’ll make Bai Yinya and Du Meihua pay for what they’ve done.”

If only she could achieve the goal while her mom was alive.

“Listen, you and I will never be like your mother and Bai Hongbo.” It was rare for Gu Yeze to bare his heart, though he still showed a cold look.

“I get it,” replied Bai Weijin with a smile.
