Yu Shaohua’s gaze on Bai Xiao was complex and puzzling. What kind of look was this?
It seemed to be a mix of various emotions, along with an inexplicable warmth.
Warmth...
Could it be that Dean Yu Shaohua wanted to harass her?
She had heard of male supervisors who abused their power over their female subordinates, engaging in unspeakable acts, but she had never encountered this in her past life.
The title of Divine Doctor was not meant to be tainted; she was the Divine Doctor, not someone anyone could just provoke. Provoking her was like courting death, and no one would even bury you.
Could it be that in this life, she was going to face this unprecedented issue for the first time!
Bai Xiao felt disgusted.
Dean Zhang had been kind to her, a female elder who would never harbor any improper thoughts toward her, especially since Dean Zhang had been real friends with her mother. She naturally looked after Bai Xiao, who resembled Yu Shaoya, but Yu Shaohua...
Wait a minute, Yu Shaohua, Yu Shaoya...
She shook her head. It couldn’t be a coincidence. Could Yu Shaohua be her own uncle?
Back then, she had only heard that the Yu family had always been absent and indifferent about Yu Shaoya’s wellbeing. She had thought that the Yu family had completely given up on Yu Shaoya, but it turned out there was still an uncle hidden here.
Could it be that Yu Shaohua also noticed her resemblance to his sister, thus showing affection by extension, or was it simply Yu Shaohua’s genuine care for a younger relative?
"Dean, the foreign experts have been blocking me quite a few times these past days, and this can’t go on," Bai Xiao didn’t know how to probe, wondering if she should ask, ’Do you still remember Yu Shaoya? She is my real mother?’
It seemed like she had never intended to acknowledge her ties with the Yu family. In her past life, she had no idea, and she didn’t plan on it in this life.
The Yu family’s disregard for Yu Shaoya over the years had also led to their disregard for her. A significant part of her life was entangled with the Yu family. Maybe they never wanted to know how Yu Shaoya was doing or whose daughter she was. Perhaps knowing she was Shang Feng’s daughter would only make them despise her more.
"I will handle this matter properly, Bai Xiao, but there is another, very important thing I need to talk to you about. Please listen quietly," Yu Shaohua suddenly became serious.
Instinctively, Bai Xiao knew that Yu Shaohua was about to reveal something significant. Could it be that he wanted to acknowledge their kinship?
"Dean, I have other things to handle, and Doctor Li is the only one in the department right now; he can’t manage alone. I must go back now. We can talk about this later. I have to leave," Bai Xiao said, hastily standing up and walking out.
Recognizing kin was too troublesome. Although Yu Shaohua had instructed that he wanted to acknowledge his ties with the Yu family after these many years, their actions had made it impossible for her to forgive. They would acknowledge when they wished and disregard otherwise. Now, Bai Xiao didn’t want to acknowledge them either.
Those supposed relatives from her grandmother’s side could be forgotten.
Having relatives only meant troubles.
"Bai Xiao, I am your uncle, your real uncle!" Yu Shaohua, seeing Bai Xiao about to leave, couldn’t possibly let her go. He had brought Bai Xiao here today specifically to recognize her as family. He hadn’t slept well the night before, having personally phoned the elders at home to discuss this matter. The grandfather’s heart condition had nearly flared up, and the grandmother had cried all night.
After all, Yu Shaoya had once been the most beloved daughter of the elders. At that time, Yu Shaoya’s decisive actions to sever ties with her parents and family, to betray her own family for a man, had been an immense blow, yet the grandfather had not been brought down by it.
But last night, the grandfather had almost had an incident.
