Bai Da looked at Nan Xi helplessly and with a heartache before he slowly began to speak.
"Xixi, don’t blame your mom. The fewer people who know that you’re her daughter, the better it is, because it affects your future. Your father wants to tell you that starting points are very important. Bai Zhi can only go back to the village to farm, but you, you’re meant to live in the big city. Understand?"
Bai Da didn’t want his daughter to give up. He had planned for so many years just to give his daughter a better life. How could he, how could he possibly give up at this time?
Could it be that he wanted his beloved daughter, whom he cherished for so many years, to just give up like that?
Give up Nan Jin’s wealth? That was naturally impossible.
"Let me put it this way, dad. Many people think that money is less important than people; they’re spouting nonsense. What doesn’t cost money? Eating costs money, going to school costs money, living costs money, everything is about money. So, in such a situation, having money means your starting point is much higher. You can do whatever you want in the future. Xixi, you must never give up, understand?"
It had to be said that for the sake of Nan Xi, Bai Da really did rack his brains to the utmost, almost to the point of offering his heart.
Nan Xi nodded vigorously; she felt the same way. She didn’t want to continue at her current school where everyone would laugh at her. She wanted to go to the best school.
If it was said that she had to switch back with Bai Zhi, that she had to work while Bai Zhi enjoyed luxury, she wouldn’t be willing to do that either.
Bai Da stroked Nan Xi’s head; he was naturally happy to see his daughter doing well.
Bai Yu returned to the ward quickly, looking defeated.
"Dad, mom still wants to divorce you; it’s really too much," said Bai Yu, angry and especially upset. He felt Ye Xiu was too selfish, not caring at all about their children and only having Bai Zhi in her heart; any talk of treating them equally was a lie.
"Don’t worry, your mother won’t," he assured her.
He would never let such a thing happen. Xiuxiu would definitely forgive him in the end, he was sure of it.
The time of waiting started to slow down considerably, as if every second was being infinitely stretched out.
Ye Xiu repeatedly chanted "60 seconds" in her mind, as if it would make time pass quicker.
Sometimes friends leak a few numbers that seem to hasten time even more.
After lunch, Ye Xiu began pacing back and forth in the hallway.
And for Bai Da and his company, the arrival of the police was imminent. At their arrival, Nan Xi became particularly tense.
"Do you have some business?" Bai Da asked.
Even though he had a moment of doubt, he never would have thought that Ye Xiu would actually go this far.
"Are you Bai Da? Here, I need your cooperation with an investigation—we suspect that you abused the child Bai Zhi and also have been using drugs for hypnosis on Ms. Ye Xiu. Please cooperate with us actively, thank you."
With them were Bai Xin and Bai Guang. Bai Xin went into the ward and brought out Bai Zhi’s medical report, as well as a doctor’s testimony, stating that the injections had been administered between the ages of one and two.
At that time, Ye Xiu wasn’t home and only Bai Da was taking care of the three children with occasional help from the grandmother, which naturally made Bai Da the prime suspect.
By this moment, however, Bai Da became surprisingly calm, smiling faintly as he pointed to his own body.
"Comrade, this is completely groundless..."
