"Without you, my mother would have been much better off. She’s such a good teacher with plenty of admirers. Even if she had a child, no one would mind, but what future could she possibly have with you?
You know it, don’t you? You can’t give my mother anything. That’s why you feel so inferior, isn’t it?
That’s why you want everyone’s attention on her, to lock her down. However, gossip and rumors are actually not important to her.
You’re afraid, afraid that she’ll learn the truth because you know, with your cowardice, the real you would never be liked by her."
Every word Bai Zhi uttered stabbed viciously into Bai Da.
"You might seem like a ’good man,’ but who really cares about your kindness? No matter how nice you are to strangers, will they help you when you’re in need?
The face that you care so much about is worthless when real trouble comes."
Bai Zhi didn’t seem satisfied, she continued speaking.
Bai Xin stood beside Bai Zhi, constantly watching Bai Da’s every move. She didn’t understand why Bai Zhi was doing this, but she was determined to protect Xingxing.
"Such a coward as you, how could you possibly be liked?
You won’t be liked by anyone."
Bai Da was completely provoked, his eyes gradually turning red.
"This is what I was thinking..." Bai Zhi thought to herself, and in the next moment, Bai Da suddenly charged at her. The explosive power of that instant caught Bai Zhi off guard, but Bai Xin reacted quickly, stepping in front of Bai Zhi,
Bai Xin was pushed aside and fell to the ground, passing out.
Bai Zhi ran over quickly and, seeing that Bai Xin was only unconscious, she looked at Bai Da angrily. Good, she was truly enraged.
Bai Da charged again. He had only one thought: to kill Bai Zhi.
He couldn’t let Bai Zhi tell Ye Xiu the truth, absolutely not. Bai Zhi smirked coldly,
"You’re not Bai Da anymore, are you? Since that’s the case, I needn’t be polite with you."
Already exhausted by Bai Zhi’s provocations, Bai Da at this moment was merely surpassing his limits unexpectedly. Despite his large build, he was easily taken down.
Both of them rushed toward each other, Bai Da trying to grab Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi leapt up and aimed at Bai Da’s face.
Bai Da was kicked and fell to the ground. Bai Zhi wasn’t faring much better, as she also fell.
Bai Zhi got up, her clothes and face covered in dirt.
"You piece of trash, you can’t even beat me. Tell me, what exactly did you do to my mother? Her memories are wrong."
Bai Zhi picked herself up, clutching the Golden Needle and glaring fiercely at Bai Da.
As Bai Da tried to rise, Bai Zhi’s Golden Needle shot out, and Bai Da was immobilized, feeling utterly at the mercy of another.
"Bai Zhi, why don’t you ask why I treat you this way? The hatred I have for you is to the bone. Didn’t you once long for the affection of me, your father? Hahaha... I did it on purpose, giving you hope and then plunging you into despair."
Bai Da’s eyes were particularly red, and he looked like a madman with madness in his gaze.
But Bai Zhi just laughed, her eyes cold as she looked at Bai Da.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t want to know. It’s just something like, ’I’m not your daughter,’ right?"
Bai Zhi had always had a suspicion, which was why Bai Da disliked her so much. Hatred to the point of wanting to destroy her was truly illogical.
Later, Bai Zhi thought it might be because of what her aunt had said; because he loved Ye Xiu too much, he took out his anger on her.
