After Bai Yuzhi died from an illness, she was bound to a system and gained a ...
"Did you sleep well?"
Ren Gui propped up half of his body, his eyes full of smiles.
He used to love to smile, but that smile was completely different from the one he has now.
The smile he had before, which looked like an arc carved out with a ruler, was just to maintain his mask of a gentleman. It was not an expression of emotion from the heart, but a disguise tool to cover up his true thoughts.
But now it was different. Even the system in Bai Yuzhi's brain could see it, and now Ren Gui's smile was particularly gentle.
The system quietly complained to Bai Yuzhi. It didn't know that Bai Yuzhi and Yi had already met in the dream, nor did it know that its host now knew more about the world consciousness than it, the system.
It only knows how to compete for favor with the target of the attack.
[Host, host, the mission target touched your belly, face, and hands while you were sleeping!]
Bai Yuzhi was speechless.
When she was sober, she invited him to touch the baby, and Ren Gui looked extremely surprised. Who knew that this pervert was really such a person that it was difficult to change his nature.
Did he plan to do it secretly while I was sleeping?
So Bai Yuzhi frowned and pretended to complain: "It's not good at all. My stomach feels so heavy. It feels like it's been pressed down all night. Why is the baby so fat!"
Ren Gui obviously didn't expect Bai Yuzhi to say that. His first reaction was certainly not to think that the two small embryos were heavy, but to reflect on whether he had touched Bai Yuzhi for too long last night and made her uncomfortable?
He was really afraid that he would hurt Bai Yuzhi, so he carried her out to find a Taoist priest.
——After all, Bai Yuzhi is pregnant with the blood of a non-human species. Ordinary doctors cannot even detect the existence of the child, let alone check its health status, so if there is any problem, they can only find a Taoist priest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Bai Yuzhi in his arms saw someone she didn't expect to appear here.
The person was dressed simply and neatly, and stood tall and straight. Although she was very thin, one could see that she had the spirit of progress and perseverance.
It’s Chen Sizhen.
She must have been standing outside for a long time. The fabric of her clothes on her shoulders was slightly wet by the early autumn fog. Her face was pale, and there were dark blue marks under her eyes.
Ren Gui was now extremely anxious because of Bai Yuzhi's words. He had no time to pay attention to anyone and was about to leave by Chen Sizhen, but was stopped by her.
"etc."
Chen Sizhen's voice was hoarse.
Ren Gui was furious: "Get lost."
What followed was a roar of thunder.
He attacked with his words and rushed straight towards Chen Sizhen, and the next moment he was about to teleport to the Taoist priest.
Stopped by Bai Yuzhi.
"Wait a minute."
The same sentence can have completely different effects when spoken by different people.
Ren Gui had already stepped one foot into the space, but then stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?"
He looked very nervous, even worse than Chen Sizhen, who was frantically dodging the lightning that would automatically track him.
Bai Yuzhi patted his chest to comfort him: "I want to talk to her."
Bai Yuzhi had no aversion to Chen Sizhen, and even admired him quite a bit.
Even though Bai Yuzhi herself is not a good person, due to her simple concept of good and evil, she is still somewhat tolerant of people like Chen Sizhen who have a strong sense of responsibility.
This bit of tolerance made Bai Yuzhi willing to stop and listen to her.
"Thank you," she said to Bai Yuzhi, panting as the power she was aiming at Chen Sizhen stopped. Then, she immediately asked, "My father, do you know where he went?"
Everyone in the base knew that Bai Yuzhi took Chen Zhengfu away. It was not a secret, so it was not surprising that Chen Sizhen knew about it.
The reason why she came to ask Bai Yuzhi was probably because this was the only information she could get.
As for the fact that Chen Zhengfu was murdered by Xu Xu after coming out of the white jade dungeon, with Chen Sizhen's current strength and status in the base, he would definitely not be able to find out.
"Your good sister took her away."
Bai Yuzhi did not hide it from Chen Sizhen. She always believed in taking responsibility for her actions, but since it was not her doing, she would not take the blame.
As for whether Chen Sizhen believes it or not, that is another matter.
However, it was obvious that Chen Sizhen also had some understanding of Xu Xu. When she heard Bai Yuzhi's words, she did not doubt it at all.
"Actually, I know that my father was probably killed by her."
Chen Sizhen had a blank expression on his face, but a tear fell from the corner of his eye. Even though Chen Zhengfu was a hateful stepfather to Xu Xu at the beginning, he was not completely useless to his biological daughter Chen Sizhen.
He secretly spent half of the money from selling the jade pendant on buying wine and treating guests, and gave the other half to Chen Sizhen, his only biological daughter.
"My father gave me a large sum of money when I was young. I didn't understand why at that time, but now I understand better."
Chen Sizhen deduced the truth from Bai Yuzhi's attitude towards Chen Zhengfu and Xu Xu, as well as the actions of Bai Shuhui and his wife. At this moment, she came out to look for people, one because she was determined to find Chen Zhengfu, and the other was to apologize to Bai Yuzhi, the person involved.
"I'm sorry, no matter what, I am still the beneficiary of that money."
Chen Sizhen bowed, and Bai Yuzhi accepted it without any guilt.
This is what the original owner deserves.
"I want to ask you one last thing. Is Xu Xu dead?"
Chen Sizhen didn't want to ask. She had very complicated thoughts about her stepsister. She felt guilty about her stepsister being treated utilitarianly by her father at home, which led to her distorted character. She also hated her stepsister for taking her father's life in the end.
This complex emotion prevented her from killing Xu Xu directly, but she was unwilling to forgive her.
So Chen Sizhen chose to ask Bai Yuzhi.
She wanted to know Xu Xu's final outcome.
"She's not dead, but she's as good as dead. She's completely crazy. If you want, I can let you kill her with your own hands."
The power of purification was taken back, and it didn't matter whether Xu Xu lived or died. She was no longer the eye of the world who could influence the survival of the entire world. Now the one who could truly possess the power of life was the child in the white jade belly.
Therefore, Bai Yuzhi was not reluctant to give Chen Sizhen this right.
However, Chen Sizhen still shook his head.
"No, I know I can't do it."
She turned and walked away, leaving behind one last kind reminder before leaving: "My stepmother is a weak woman, but if a weak woman chooses to explode, it may cause trouble for the strong. Be careful."
That’s all I have to say, but the hidden worries are already growing secretly, and maybe one day they will show up.
