Her father even supported his eldest daughter-in-law when she got divorced, so why wouldn’t he support her? She really should have told him from the start how wronged she felt.
It was utterly stupid of her.
To think she believed Bai Da’s words. Looking back, if he really had her best interests at heart, he wouldn’t have said those things. He should have given Mu Yi a good beating or made a scene at Mu Yi’s house. The problem was hers; she was too naive.
Bai Da is not a father, nor is he a good brother. It serves him right that he’s divorced now.
"I didn’t mean that. Why would you say such a thing, child? Maybe I’m not expressing myself well, but I definitely don’t blame your aunt."
Watching Bai Zhi’s scrutinizing gaze, his eyes began to wander, and finally, his gaze settled on Bai Xin with particular sincerity.
"Xinxin, you have to believe me. I have truly loved you all these years, and I want to be with you for a lifetime. From our youth to our gray hairs, we are going to spend many more years together, right?"
He anxiously grasped Bai Xin’s hand, his tone becoming increasingly desperate.
Bai Xin abruptly shook off Mu Yi’s hand, cold and distant.
A lot of things are not incomprehensible but hard to accept, like giving so many years of love another chance, another opportunity for redemption.
But someone like him, how could he cherish it?
"You better go back to your grocery store; that is your true love."
She felt that Mu Yi could spend twenty-four hours at the grocery store, without eating or drinking—if that’s the case, he might as well go there.
Bai Zhi, hearing this, couldn’t help but feel something was off.
"Uncle, don’t change the subject. If you really want my aunt to forgive you, it’s actually simple."
Bai Zhi suddenly smiled sweetly, looking at Mu Yi.
"You say whatever you say, I will agree."
Mu Yi clenched his teeth. Although he felt her suggestion would not be a good one, he still agreed, thinking Bai Xin wouldn’t let it be too excessive.
"It’s simple. Go back and tell everyone that the person who can’t have children is you. Then I’ll believe you care for my aunt." She believes, but it doesn’t mean her aunt will, right? There’s nothing wrong with that.
Of course, she didn’t believe Mu Yi would agree.
"Impossible," Mu Yi replied without hesitation, firmly deciding that he couldn’t be infertile.
"So, you don’t love my aunt. Don’t say I’m purposely targeting you. Let me give you another chance. How about you and my aunt both go to the hospital for tests, and let the facts speak for themselves?"
Bai Zhi kept watching Mu Yi’s expression, not missing a thing.
"No way, I’m a grown man, how can I go to the hospital to check for this problem? I’d lose all my dignity. Absolutely not, I don’t have any issues."
He instinctively retorted, not realizing that Bai Xin’s expression had darkened even more.
So this is what he called loving her, claiming to have loved her since childhood.
"You..." Bai Xin was about to speak but was stopped by Bai Zhi holding her hand.
"Uncle, you’re really not showing sincerity here, wanting my aunt to come back, yet unwilling to do anything. Do you think the Bai family has no one? Or do you think just because you’re on good terms with Bai Da, nobody will support my aunt?
Would you believe that if I shouted out, my uncles would come running with sticks?"
Bai Zhi spoke, and then Bai Xin suddenly realized, yes. Although her brother was unreliable, she still had cousins.
"What do you mean by this? You’re just twisting words to suit your argument. These demands are just making things difficult for me. People say it’s better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage. How could you, child, be ?"
