I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family
Chapter 693: 702 Bai Zhi Must ReconcileChapter 693: Chapter 702 Bai Zhi Must Reconcile
Xu Yan had always wanted to find Bai Zhi because he wanted to prove his own real existence in this world.
And he always believed that his sister was also here.
“Sister, you always say that we must live for ourselves at least once, and I want to go see those ancient tombs that are a thousand years old. To witness the wisdom of our ancestors.
But without finding you, I was always worried. Now that I’ve found you, I can finally do what I want to do.
My mentor has a big project after the New Year, and I’m planning to go eat Lanzhou noodles with him.”
Xu Yan said to Bai Zhi in the most relaxed tone, feeling it was already very good just to have found her.
“That’s great.”
Bai Zhi also felt happy for him; it was good that he could do what he liked.
They talked a lot, about all kinds of inconsequential topics, without bringing up how each of them had spent the past few years.
When Bai Zhi got back to the hospital, it was already late at night, and Wu Wa was still waiting for her at the door.
“Ah Zhi, do you want some late-night snack?”
Wu Wa didn’t ask any questions, she just took her to have some barbecue.
She put every skewer into Bai Zhi’s bowl as if afraid Bai Zhi wouldn’t get enough to eat.
After eating for more than an hour and taking some to-go, they finally returned to the hospital.
Bai Xiang had been so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back; he was almost to the point of drinking water to fill his belly.
When he saw the two of them, he acted as if he was going to eat them.
“You two are so heartless, I’m starved to death and you come back this late?”
Bai Xin immediately felt somewhat helpless. Was all the dinner she had just eaten for nothing?
“Bai Xiang, where did your dinner go just now?” Wu Wa gave him a direct glance as if to say he was finding fault for no reason.
“Hey, how is that any way to talk to your boss? Be careful, or I might dock your wages, is it a crime that I’ve digested my meal?”
Bai Xiang felt that Wu Wa was becoming less and less respectful to him, and this wasn’t acceptable because, after all, he was her boss.
Hearing this, Wu Wa burst into laughter. Wages? She hadn’t seen any for years.
“Where are those wages? How come I’ve never seen them?”
Bai Xiang awkwardly touched his hair with a shift in his eyes, carrying a hint of guilt.
“Well, didn’t I buy you a house? If I have one, you all will too.
Although it doesn’t seem like much now, you’ll definitely thank me later.”
Not to mention, a few years back houses only cost a few thousand, but now they’ve gone up to tens of thousands.
Prices will surely be higher in the future; buying property is a sound investment.
“But what if the house prices fall in the future?” In Wu Wa’s view, that house was a consumable item.
Over time it could easily fall into disrepair and it would be better to save the money—at least it would earn interest.
“Money can be saved too, at the very least it earns interest.”
Bai Xiang gave her head a pat.
“What nonsense are you talking about, you’re still paying rent now, aren’t you?”
Their houses were rented out because they weren’t living in them, and he had planned to keep buying properties with any available funds, anyway, eventually everyone could rely on rental income to get by.
“Rent? Where is this rent? I don’t know about it.”
It wasn’t just Wu Wa who didn’t know, even Bai Zhi wasn’t aware.
“I kept it for investment, don’t worry—with me around, you just wait to be rich ladies. I wouldn’t go to this much trouble for anyone else…”
Bai Xiang chuckled, as he had been holding back all the money, except for their basic salaries, using the rest to buy more property and land.
To be honest, Bai Zhi sometimes doubted that maybe he was the one who had been reborn.
But it wasn’t so. The cousin hadn’t been reborn or traveled through time, he was just a downright nouveau riche.
“About the rent, I think we need to have a serious talk…”
Wu Wa raised her fist and walked away with Bai Xiang.
Watching their noisy quarrel, Bai Zhi felt that this feeling was actually pretty good.
The elder cousin was really good to them, giving each person a salary of two thousand every month, and using the rest to buy houses—not even in his name. Everyone got one.
It’s just that he refused to explain, which isn’t good—Wu Wa is probably going to deal with him again.
…
Bai Fei woke up again to the bright sunshine.
She had slept very comfortably; it had been a very long time since she had a night without dreams.
When she woke up and looked at the sunlight outside the window, it was a bit dazzling.
And Bai Zhi and Wu Wa were lying on the nearby hospital beds.
Her lips unconsciously curved into a smile, feeling warm inside. No matter what happened, Xingxing would always take care of her. It was because of this that she had recklessly hurt them that day.
Actually, the senior was right; she only liked the person she had imagined.
And now that she had come to terms with it, she realized how ridiculous and selfish she was.
She knew Wu Wa and Xingxing would never hold it against her, so she had blurted out those words without any restraint.
She just felt pitiful for herself, feeling hurt, but never considering Xingxing and the others’ feelings.
Once, she felt as if they had all left her behind, even though she knew it wasn’t easy for them, but she selfishly felt isolated by them.
Later, after being provoked and manipulated by others, she developed a barrier in her heart.
It was because of the senior that she was able to truly examine herself.
And because of that, she paid with her health.
She reached out her hand, looking at her own hand where the bones could be seen, feeling uncomfortable.
She wasn’t like this before; she thought that whether one was fat or not, being happy was what mattered.
But now, she had turned herself into a ghostly sight.
She couldn’t even bear to look at herself; what was it all for?
Was it just for that imagined person?
Bai Fei wanted to take a longer look at Bai Zhi and the others; she really wanted to say sorry to them.
But she was cowardly, afraid, and didn’t dare.
Just then, the door to the room opened.
It was Bai Yu and Nan Xi who came in.
It had been several days, but Nan Jin and Ye Xiu had still not been released, leaving the two of them anxious. They only found out after asking that Bai Zhi was unwilling to reconcile.
Nan Xi wanted Bai Da to come and talk to Bai Zhi, but Bai Da had become somewhat crazy now, erratic.
Sometimes gently calling her Xixi, sometimes yelling loudly at her, leaving her somewhat baffled and unsure of what to do.
In the end, it was Bai Yu and Nan Xi themselves who had to come since without Nan Jin and Ye Xiu, many people came looking for trouble.
Previously, they could rely on Nan Jin to help resolve issues, but not anymore.
Nan Jin was too busy with his own problems, and because of this incident, the Nan Family was already coming over to take over Nan Jin’s business.
How could this happen? That was Nan Jin’s property, and thus hers too. So Nan Xi couldn’t sit still.
She came to find Bai Zhi, insisting that Bai Zhi had to reconcile.
Nan Xi wasn’t stupid, and this time she even brought journalists, planning to exaggerate the aspect of Bai Zhi’s filial impropriety.
As long as they guided them deliberately, it was up to them to dictate the events.
It was for this reason that Nan Xi and her group found out Bai Fei’s room so early in the morning, bringing journalists with the intention of catching them off guard.
Indeed, seeing Bai Fei’s darkened face, her eyes red and glaring fiercely at them, it was as though she wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Nan Xi.
And that was exactly the case, for Nan Xi, that she had become what she was now—undoubtedly a victim of Nan Xi’s doings.
