"I told you, once we’re out of this door, I won’t care if you drop dead, can’t you understand that!"
Bai Zhi was livid, right at the doorstep of all places. Was this some kind of joke?
Bai Da seemed alarmed, and then there was Bai Zhi, looking puppy-eyed, her already bloodshot eyes somehow managing to appear tearful.
"We’re out the door now."
He understood, Xingxing, I understood.
Bai Zhi choked up, glanced at the door, and snapped, "Once you’re out of this village, I won’t care if you drop dead."
Bai Da: "..." Fine then, the daughter is always right, next time he’d leave the village.
Why did he feel that something about the previous scene was a bit off? Was it just his imagination?
"Cough cough cough..." Nan Xi held her neck, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
For a moment there, she thought she was going to die.
She was so close to death, and at that moment, all she could think of was that she hadn’t reached the pinnacle of her life yet.
She hadn’t enjoyed life yet, how could she be dying?
Now that she had taken a breath of relief, she felt hatred toward Bai Da in front of her.
Although she was certain that Bai Da might be crazy or didn’t mean it, she still hated him.
Tears fell from the corner of her eyes, "Dad, how could you do this to me, I love you so much..."
Her voice was incredibly soft, but Bai Zhi’s gaze remained fixed on her nose, for some reason, Bai Zhi felt something was off.
Surely she wouldn’t resort to hurting herself now, would she? It seemed unlikely...
"Xixi..." Bai Da gritted his teeth, looking at the woman he had mistakenly loved for years.
He really wanted to strangle her, to expose her true face, but he couldn’t yet.
He had to endure, he wanted them all to go to Hell with him.
Seeing Nan Xi’s gaze, Bai Da seemed to sober up a lot, looking at her neck with confusion.
"What happened to your neck? Who bullied you, was it Bai Ye?"
Bai Da searched around until he finally saw Bai Ye. His face darkened, and he approached quickly.
"Was it you? Did you bully your sister, tell me?"
Bai Da, while speaking, had already rushed to Bai Ye, grabbing him and pulling him in front of Nan Xi.
"Xixi, did he bully you? Don’t be afraid, Daddy will take care of him, don’t be scared."
Bai Da’s ingratiating manner made Nan Xi reaffirm her suspicions.
Bai Da really did dote on Nan Xi. As for the misunderstanding from the beginning, she had heard it from Bai Yu, no wonder the relationship between Nan Xi and Nan Jin had worsened.
Back then, the original owner hadn’t explained, and now she wasn’t going to tell Bai Da the truth either.
Because they all said Bai Da didn’t know the truth, which meant he still thought she was his daughter.
"Daddy, it’s not like that, no one bullied me. It’s just that you scared me a bit, I’m so frightened."
Nan Xi covered her neck, tears falling once again.
Her pitiful look brought a pained expression to Bai Da’s eyes.
"Daddy, I’m scared, I’m so scared..."
She hadn’t forgotten that the reason she had the Jade Pendant in the first place was that Bai Da had Bai Zhi give it to her to calm her down.
Now it was just a bit later than planned.
"Scared, what should we do?" Bai Da became anxious, immediately grabbed Nan Xi’s hand, and spoke nervously.
"I don’t know... Daddy I’m scared, Daddy..."
Nan Xi seemed to become more and more frightened, which worried Bai Da even more.
Bai Zhi felt that this was the proper response, after all, this was the right way to handle things.
"Xingxing, time for dinner."
Ye Xiu’s voice sounded from behind, and when Bai Da saw Ye Xiu, he instantly forgot the incident and ran over to Ye Xiu with joy, grabbing his hand.
"Xiuxiu, you’re back!"
He looked as happy as a child.
Ye Xiu, with a darkened face, said, "Come inside."
