Bai Zhi glanced at her and knew right away that her aunt was angry. She chuckled as she held Bai Xin’s hand.
"Auntie, I know, you care about me, and I care about you too. You can’t be so willful."
Bai Xin: "..." How could she be called willful? If spending money meant having to look at someone else’s face, then it didn’t matter whether she lived such a life or not.
"Xingxing, you are still young and don’t understand that your aunt knows what she’s doing. You are your aunt’s good girl. If spending money on you is something your aunt can’t even do, then this life might as well be over."
A confident smile played on Bai Xin’s lips, yet Bai Zhi saw the profound loneliness she was trying so hard to hide. Her aunt was not happy.
"Auntie, since you have it, aren’t you afraid I might lose it? I’m just a kid after all."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then promptly spoke up.
"That’s actually true. Okay, auntie will keep it for you and give it back to you when we get home, good girl. You two stay here, and your auntie will have someone send food over soon, you hear?"
Bai Xin pinched Bai Zhi’s cheek with a smile and nodded to Wu Wa before she left the room.
Bai Zhi watched Bai Xin leave and thought, if her aunt and uncle had nothing going on, she wouldn’t believe it.
It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to ask about it later. Bai Xin was really good to her, even if she found out the possible truth, she was still just as good.
Actually, Bai Zhi was an orphan and couldn’t understand Bai Xin’s approach. In her mind, everyone’s money was their own, earned through Bai Xin’s hard work. Why should it be spent on her?
Even her uncle might not be willing to share—it involved a family, not just one person.
But did her aunt think differently? Why?
It was only much later that Bai Zhi understood that in a family, there’s no need for separation. Just like how she would later do anything for Bai Xin.
Seeing Bai Zhi remaining silent, Wu Wa walked over and held her hand seriously.
"Ah Zhi, don’t worry, I will be with you."
Bai Zhi nodded and looked at Wu Wa’s little face, pinching it gently. Yes, it was indeed very comforting.
"I’m not worried. Whatever the outcome, I can accept it. You don’t need to worry either, Wu Wa. I’m sorry that I dragged you into this."
Although she said this, Bai Zhi did not regret it.
"I’m very happy to come out with you. I’ve never been to this place."
Wu Wa looked out the window. The buildings here were five, six, even ten stories tall, appearing particularly towering.
Bai Zhi walked over too. From here, she could see the department stores which were really tall, but having seen taller buildings, she thought they were just okay.
"Wu Wa, these buildings are so tall, won’t they collapse?"
Wu Wa gazed at the high rises in amazement.
Before long, Bai Xin returned, excitedly pulling Bai Zhi and Wu Wa out the door.
"Xingxing, Wu Wa, hurry, hurry, we have to get to the hospital. A friend helped me get an appointment, and we can still make it."
Bai Zhi had never expected things to move this quickly. Bai Xin’s friend must be quite impressive.
What kind of friend was this?
Soon, they found out. Bai Xin’s friend was a doctor, a young man in a white coat who was also quite handsome.
"This is my good friend, called Li Mo. Call him Uncle Li. Li Mo, these are my two nieces, Bai Zhi and Wu Wa. Bai Zhi is the one who needs a checkup. Thank you for your help."
Ironically, Bai Xin had originally asked a classmate for help, but then learned that Li Mo was right here—what a
