Seeing her husband standing at the doorway, Madam Bai couldn’t help but burst into tears, clutching a handkerchief to her heart, she said, "In our whole lives, we’ve never done anything that goes against the natural order, for over two decades we’ve been charitable and prayed to the gods—why won’t the Bodhisattva grant us a miracle and let our daughter stay with us longer? Heaven is just too cruel!"
Mr. Bai was also deeply pained and hugged his wife, saying, "There, there, if our child heard this, she would be so heartbroken."
"But why? Our family has been upright for three generations; our grandfather was a paragon of virtue, earning our extensive estate through a life of kindness. Why is it that our generation is so plagued by misfortune?" Madam Bai wept in her husband’s embrace, "We’ve already d half of our family fortune to establish the Baiyue Heart Foundation, we allocate funds to the education foundation every year, supporting thousands of children if not tens of thousands..."
"Why bring that up?" Mr. Bai, holding his wife, sighed gently, "Heaven has its virtue of good life. Perhaps this is just a test for us. Our daughter may have other opportunities. Have you forgotten? When we thought she would leave us forever, things took a turn for the better. Don’t worry, maybe this time we’ll be lucky again."
Madam Bai shook her head, "It’s not luck. Although we saved our own daughter, Yuan’er lost one. Over the years, I’ve been grateful for Yuan’er’s decision back then, but at the same time, I don’t know how to face the Tang Family, especially after our daughter claimed Xiao Wu’s work as her own. When Yuan’er came to find me..."
Mr. Bai fell silent, patted his wife’s shoulder, then said, "Let’s bring Yuejie closer to us. Let’s not have her continue with her career anymore."
They had agreed to let their daughter pursue her career.
But the outcome they were left to bear was too much for them.
Uncle Liu was listening to their conversation from behind, and after hearing what Mr. Bai said, he quietly went back into the room, gently closing the door.
Bai Yuejie lay on the bed, her mind somewhat hazy.
She still couldn’t accept that her life, which should have had several years remaining, was now reduced to less than half a year.
Half a year—she wouldn’t even see next summer or wait for her next birthday before having to bid farewell to the world.
She didn’t want this!
Uncle Liu walked in slowly, saying in a soft voice, "They want to end your career."
Bai Yuejie startled, cried out, "No!"
"You’re too tired now. It might be for the best to end it," Uncle Liu sighed softly and stroked her hair. "I will bring the criminal to justice. For now, you should focus on recovering. Leave the company matters to me."
"No," Bai Yuejie said, shaking her head in panic, "I have nothing but this. Uncle Liu, my career cannot be ended. I want to live. I want to be more famous and more successful than Tang Wu! I haven’t achieved my dreams yet, why should I give up!"
"No, I can’t," Bai Yuejie wept softly, "I want to live; I don’t want to die," clutching Uncle Liu’s sleeve, Bai Yuejie pleaded, "Please Uncle Liu, we have a way, don’t we? You haven’t forgotten, we’ve already found a new heart..."
"Shh..." Uncle Liu looked back instinctively, his voice very low, "Not now; the suspicions would be too great. Rest assured, I’ll find the most opportune moment to create the perfect ’accident.’"
