Ji Shushu arrived at Bai Xiaoruo's house and knocked on the door anxiously for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

What happened? Is Xiaobai asleep?

"Xiaobai! It's me! I've come to see you, open the door quickly!"

She knocked again, but still no one answered. Ji Shushu was getting anxious. A bad thought popped into her mind: what if Xiaobai did something stupid?

"Xiaobai, don't scare me. Please open the door, okay? I'm really worried about you."

Still no movement.

"Please, open the door! Tell me who bullied you, and I'll go beat them up for you!"

"Could something really have happened to Xiaobai?" Ji Shushu stamped her feet anxiously. Perhaps she had guessed who it was. "Xiaobai, if you don't come out, I'm going to find Xian Mingyu right now. I'll drag him in front of you and make him apologize... If he dares not to come, I'll beat him up! Even if I can't beat him, I'll still beat him up! I'm going right now! Really, I'm not lying to you, I'm going right away!"

"Snap!"

The sound of a lock being opened came from inside the room, and the door slowly opened from the inside.

Feng Zhiyuan and Ji Shushu, who were standing at the door, were both stunned.

Xuan Mingyu, as expected, is still Bai Xiaoruo's weakness.

Her locking herself in her room was also related to him.

Bai Xiaoruo was still wearing the same clothes she had worn when she returned yesterday. Her face looked haggard, her hair was messy, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, red, and she had dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't slept well and it seemed she had been crying not long ago.

His face looked terrible.

"You're not allowed to go. I just want to be alone for a while... Don't worry about me." Her voice was hoarse from crying, and she could barely pronounce some words.

Bai Xiaoruo opened the door because she was worried that Ji Shushu would really go to find Xian Mingyu.

Putting aside whether she could get close to Xian Mingyu, he usually had so many bodyguards around him, what could Ji Shushu possibly do to him? If she were to get hurt, Bai Xiaoruo would feel terrible.

It had been almost a day and a night before Bai Xiaoruo finally opened the door and came out. Feng Zhiyuan felt extremely sorry for his precious granddaughter when he saw her in this state. "Girl, I won't say anything if you want to be quiet or stay by yourself, but you still have to eat something."

In the two months since she moved in, Bai Xiaoru has been eating very well every day, her complexion has become rosy, and she has even gained a few pounds. Her health has been improving. But today, she has forced herself to go on a hunger strike again. She has a stomach problem, and if she has another attack, she will suffer terribly.

If you develop some health problems from hunger, or even faint from hunger, it will be even worse.

"I have no appetite." She really can't eat anything right now.

“Girl, what... what did that boy from the Xian family do to you? Tell your grandfather, and I'll have someone deal with him. As long as it makes you feel better, just say it. I'll even tie him up and bring him here.”

"Grandpa... I'm really fine... It has nothing to do with him." Bai Xiaoru shook her head. She really didn't want to see him right now, nor did she want her grandfather to do anything to him.

"Xiaobai, I don't have class this afternoon. Let's go out and have some fun. Let's eat lots of delicious food, and you'll be happy."

"Yes, Ruoruo, go out and play with Shushu. As long as you're happy, Grandpa will support you in whatever you want to do. Don't ruin your health, okay?"

Bai Xiaoruo didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether she was willing to go out or not.

Ji Shushu had no choice but to bring up Xuan Mingyu again, "Xiaobai, why don't you come out with me? If you don't come with me, I'll go find Xuan Mingyu right now."

"No..." Bai Xiaoruo grabbed Ji Shushu's hand, preventing her from leaving. "I'll go out with you."

"Alright, alright, I'll help you change and get dressed now." Ji Shushu turned to look at Feng Zhiyuan beside her. "Grandpa, I'll take care of Xiaobai today. I'll make sure she's well taken care of."

"Okay, thank you so much for coming all this way, otherwise I wouldn't know how to persuade the girl to come out."

Feng Zhiyuan went downstairs with peace of mind.

As long as Bai Xiaoruo was willing to go out and play and eat, he felt relieved.

***

Ji Shushu asked the maid to run a bath so that Bai Xiaoruo could have a good soak first, and then change her clothes and put on makeup.

As she combed her hair, she murmured, "Xiaobai, you have to be happy. In a little while, we'll go shopping. Buy whatever you want, eat whatever you want. If you shop to your heart's content, your mood will improve."

Bai Xiaoruo sighed, "I don't want to buy anything."

"It's okay if you don't want to buy anything. You'll always find something you want to buy. We haven't gone shopping together in a long time, so let's have some fun today."

"Don't be sad anymore, it's all in the past. Actually, even if you didn't say it, I could tell over this period of time that you and Xianmingyu divorced because of the loss of the child, right?"

Ji Shushu continued, "I even took your medical report to the doctors later, and guess what they told me?"

"How so?" Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but ask.

She didn't know the truth about her health. Every time she went to the hospital, the doctor would tell her directly. He usually kept it from her, only saying that she was in good health and just needed to eat more. So Bai Xiaoruo never took it to heart.

"They said that actually, you can't blame Xian Mingyu for your miscarriage. He had no choice but to sign the consent form to terminate the pregnancy for your health and to save your life. And... just a few days ago, Gu Yao told me that you had a major hemorrhage during your trip to the US with Xian Mingyu for the New Year, but fortunately it was discovered in time and the bleeding wasn't too severe, which saved the baby. Later, the doctor told Xian Mingyu that your health was too poor and you had anemia, so even if you had saved the baby after that hemorrhage, it wouldn't have been possible to give birth. Even if the surgery could have saved the baby, a few months later, the baby would either have died in utero or you would have to choose between the smaller and the larger one."

Ji Shushu only heard it from Gu Yao; she didn't know the specific facts.

Gu Yao said that those were things that Xian Mingyu told him when he was drunk one day. Bai Xiaoruo refused to listen to his explanation and always believed that Xian Mingyu had deliberately killed the child. She herself did not know the true condition of her body.

"What did you say?"

Bai Xiaoruo suddenly stood up, looking at Ji Shushu with disbelief.

No one had ever told her these things before; Xuan Mingyu had never told her.

She had a major hemorrhage in M ​​country? When was that? Could it be that she suddenly woke up in the hospital that night?

He even told her that she was in the hospital because of indigestion...

The worst outcome is choosing the lesser and sacrificing the greater... because he didn't want to give her up, so he gave up the child, is that right?

His love for her was genuine; even though she had an innocent miscarriage, he didn't want to lose her.

When she first learned that the child was gone, she thought he was selfish and despicable, only thinking of himself.

But in the end, it was discovered that she was also very selfish.
