Chapter 226 This Traitor!

Old Master Bai had always kept this matter in mind, so more than ten years ago he moved his ancestors' graves to the same ancestral graves that Ye Wanxi had visited before.

As luck would have it, during the relocation, they happened to encounter the descendants of the clinic's doctor.

Unlike the Bai family's meteoric rise, the doctor's family's situation was the complete opposite.

Because of the fleeing disaster, some died and some were injured. Now only two sons remain. Neither of them inherited their ancestor's medical skills. They farm and do hard labor in their hometown, living a very poor life.

When Old Master Bai learned of this, remembering the kindness his ancestors had shown him, he found an excuse to secretly send each of the two brothers a sum of money.

One of them used the money to start a small business, and with the Bai family's secret assistance, although he didn't become very rich, his life was much better.

The other person took the money and gambled it all away, and is still a good-for-nothing to this day.

The incident that happened to the Bai family happened to be caused by this good-for-nothing.

The Bai family sent the money anonymously, and the two brothers remain completely unaware of it to this day.

But when Grandpa Bai moved his ancestors' graves, he insisted on a glorious return to his hometown, so the relocation was a grand and impressive affair.

The villagers were abuzz with gossip, naturally discussing Old Master Bai's ancestors' names, who they were, and what connections they had with their village.

Unfortunately, that hooligan overheard it, and for some reason, he concluded that the Bai family's rise to prominence must have been due to them stealing their ancestors' medical and pharmaceutical books.

When Old Master Bai dealt with this matter, he did not hide it from Bai Haoqi, which is why Bai Haoqi still finds the whole thing absurd.

"Their family's medical and pharmaceutical books were lost when their ancestors fled, and they have absolutely nothing to do with my ancestors. I don't know who he heard this gossip from, but he's convinced that our family stole their things."

"Years ago, he supposedly came to our house and made a scene, demanding that my grandfather return the medical books they claimed to have, and also demanding that we pay them a large sum of money. My grandfather knew what kind of person he was, so of course he wouldn't give him any more money and kicked him out. Unexpectedly, he held a grudge against our family because of this, so he went to find a vicious and evil Taoist priest and desecrated our ancestral graves."

Bai Haoqi felt an indescribable anger and frustration whenever he thought about the time he and his grandfather went to find that scoundrel, and the man's self-righteous cursing and malicious resentment.

He simply couldn't understand why people could commit such heinous and unforgivable acts for baseless hatred.

His parents and ancestors had a clear conscience and had never done anything against their conscience.

Just because they have become successful and wealthy, they are accused of all sorts of baseless and unpleasant crimes, and some people even try to harm them out of jealousy and envy, wishing them dead.

The human heart is indeed the most terrifying thing in the world.

“Grandpa originally planned to come see you in person, but because of this matter, he fell seriously ill and his health is not as good as before. He is still recuperating now, so we didn’t let him come.”

Ye Wanxi nodded understandingly: "A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment. That doctor was indeed kind to your ancestor, but that favor was already repaid when your grandfather secretly sent that sum of money and took care of another son."

"Later, all the things this person did were simply because he was unhappy with his own life and couldn't stand seeing others doing better than him. The gossip was the same. There are always some people in this world who feel that their lives are miserable, yet they have high aspirations. They never look for problems within themselves, only thinking about the good things others are doing and being envious of their success. This is not your fault."

Bai Haoqi forced a smile. Everyone understands the logic, but he still couldn't quite accept it.

His parents are so good, why can't good people be rewarded? And why are bad people able to harm them so easily?

Ye Wanxi knew he was feeling bad, but she didn't try to comfort him with any grand pronouncements. The deceased is gone, and no amount of words could ever heal the pain in his loved ones' hearts.

"Where is that evil, crooked path that helped him harm people?"

"He died. It's said he died the night we went to visit our ancestral graves."

Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly: "He ruined your family's ancestral graves and set up those harmful things that killed your family members. Once the evil spirits on the ancestral graves are removed, the karma will naturally backfire on him. He couldn't withstand it and definitely died. Don't worry, with his history of harming people, even if he doesn't have his soul scattered after his violent death, he basically won't be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"Reincarnation?" Bai Haoqi frowned, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Does reincarnation really exist in this world?"

Ye Wanxi said slyly, "It depends on whether you believe it or not. If you believe it, it will exist; if you don't, it won't."

Bai Haoqi: "..." I always feel like you're trying to fool me.

"Do you believe that people will be reborn after death, and that all the wrong and bad things people do after death will be accounted for?"

"I believe you." Ye Wanxi's lips curled slightly. "But I don't pursue that. Generally, if someone crosses me, even if they're already in the underworld, I'll drag them back. Debts in this life must be repaid in this life. You think you can leave them for the next? Dream on!"

Bai Haoqi: "..." Boss, I can't afford to offend you.

Qi Yingxuan and Xiang Yueqi arrived after Bai Haoqi, and the three of them met briefly.

Qi Yingxuan, always eager for drama, asked, "Who was that young man just now? He seemed quite good-looking, and he even gave you flowers. Could he be one of your suitors?"

"...Why do you see everyone as one of my suitors? Does your senior brother know about this?"

"What does this have to do with Senior Brother Guan?" Qi Yingxuan asked, only belatedly realizing what was going on. "You...you and Senior Brother Guan..."

"Heh...the other day you deliberately said those ambiguous things in front of Senior Brother, wasn't it just to provoke him to be jealous?"

When Ye Wanxi said this, not only Qi Yingxuan, but also Xiang Yueqi were stunned.

"Xiaoxi, you...you knew everything?"

Ye Wanxi snorted: "Know what? Know that Senior Brother likes me, or know that you all knew Senior Brother liked me, but still helped him keep it from me?"

Qi Yingxuan muttered guiltily, "How can you blame us? It's clearly because you're too slow-witted. Everyone else knows it, but you're the only one who doesn't."

"Um?"

"..." Qi Yingxuan shut up.

Xiang Yueqi wasn't as stubborn as Qi Yingxuan, and readily admitted her mistake: "It was indeed our fault. But how did you know that Senior Brother likes you? And how did you know about us..."

"Because my senior brother confessed his feelings to me."

"!!!"

"It was on the night of the annual meeting. As for the latter part, it was my third senior brother who told me."

Xiang Yueqi & Qi Yingxuan: "..." This traitor!

Third Senior Brother: Junior Sister really doesn't hold back at all when she sells me out (helpless.jpg)
