A sudden cold wind blew from nowhere, ruffling the dampness on Xiong Kaishuo’s back, causing him to shudder.
Xiong Kaishuo watched the black Maybach drive away, the sense of defeat surging up inside him again.
He had come specifically for Shi Mei.
Was he really going to return empty-handed?
When Bai Yuejie woke up, it was already eight hours later.
In the wee hours of the morning, upon hearing she was safe, the Bai Family finally felt at ease.
Father Bai, feeling sorry for his daughter, stepped forward to comfort her, but the first words Bai Yuejie uttered were, "Dad, where is Brother Ling Yan?"
Father Bai’s face turned livid with anger, wishing he could slap some sense into his daughter, "Shi Lingyan is already married, how can you still be hung up on him? He’d rather marry a fool in a hidden marriage than marry you. How can you be so foolish?"
Bai Yuejie was at a loss for words.
Bai Mu wiped away the tears of overwhelming happiness and gently pushed her husband, scolding, "Our daughter has just woken up, spare her a few words."
Father Bai sighed heavily, frustrated, "Shi Lingyan may be a fine man, but he never had you in his heart. He was once so captivated by Tang Wu that even now, with Tang Wu dead, he still clings to a dead person and a fool. Why do you degrade yourself !"
Bai Mu, too, started wiping her tears, "Yuejie, you are our only daughter. It took us so much effort to find this heart for you, please, stay with us for a few more years..."
"What are you talking about!" Father Bai scolded in a low voice, his eyes turning red, "Out."
Knowing she had misspoken, Bai Mu quickly covered her mouth, but her tears fell even harder.
She hadn’t said anything wrong.
Bai Yuejie, still hooked by Shi Lingyan, wasn’t taking care of her health...
Heart transplant compatibility was extremely difficult.
In this world, it was very hard to find another Tang Wu.
"Sir, ma’am," Uncle Liu, who had been quiet for a long time, finally spoke up, "You should go back and rest now, I’ll stay here."
Bai Yuejie, pale-faced, also spoke up, "I would like to speak with Uncle Liu alone."
Bai Family’s parents, busy with their careers, had never spent as much time with her as Uncle Liu had while growing up.
Knowing they were at fault, Bai Family’s parents gave a few instructions and then left.
As soon as they left, the anxiety Bai Yuejie had suppressed in her heart was released, and she said fearfully, "Uncle Liu, what should we do, it must be Tang Wu, she must have come back!"
Uncle Liu sighed softly, "Tang Wu is already dead; she can’t pose a threat to you anymore."
"But who else could do this except for Tang Wu?"
Tears streaming down her face, Bai Yuejie muttered as if to herself, "She knew Shi Wuzhou very well, and me too. She deliberately lured me to Shi Wuzhou..."
"Don’t think too much," Uncle Liu reassured, "Tang Wu is dead, Miss. If you are scared, we can get a priest to curse her soul, so she can never be reborn."
Bai Yuejie looked as if she saw hope, "Really? Can we do that?"
Seeing her calm down, Uncle Liu gently nodded, "Of course, we can, silly child. However, you must stop thinking about it. Your body is rejecting the heart more and more severely. If you faint again, you might not last three years."
Bai Yuejie finally became frightened, her tears flowing freely, "What should I do, Uncle Liu? I don’t want to die. I haven’t married Brother Ling Yan. I haven’t destroyed that foolish girl. I don’t want to die!"
