"Waaah... I'm sorry..." Her voice trembled with sobs as she cried out to Bai Ying, Zhou Ying and her husband, and Bai Yanfeng, "I... didn't want this to happen... I was just too scared..." Large tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
“I grew up with my parents and brother since I was little. You are my whole life. I don’t know how I would live if you didn’t want me anymore. I’m so scared, sob sob sob…” she said between sobs, her body trembling slightly with each sob.
Bai Ying and Zhou Ying had never seen their youngest daughter so devastated. In an instant, their anger was replaced by heartache, and their hearts softened. Zhou Ying's eyes also reddened slightly as she looked at Bai Di with pity.
Bai Yanfeng was extremely anxious and immediately rushed to Bai Di's side, hugging her tightly as if afraid she would disappear. "Xiao Di, how could you think like that? You're so foolish. Whether you're our biological daughter or not, you're our most beloved treasure. In this family, no one can replace you." Bai Yanfeng spoke with unwavering determination, his tone filled with an undeniable firmness.
However, Bai Di still seemed immersed in her fear and guilt, her sobs continuing. "Brother, you don't know, ever since I found out you weren't my biological parents, I've been plagued by nightmares every night. I'm so scared, scared that you'll abandon me. I really didn't mean to target my sister."
"I just craved your love so much, I just wanted your love for me to be no less than your love for my sister. That's why I made this mistake. I was just afraid of losing you. After all, my sister is your own daughter." She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice growing louder and louder.
Hearing Bai Di's words, Zhou Ying could no longer hold back her tears and kept wiping them away.
Bai Di seemed to have fallen into an abyss of despair. Suddenly, her eyes hardened, and she drew a gleaming sword. "Now that I have committed an unforgivable sin, I can only atone with my death!" Her voice was shrill and resolute.
After saying that, she slashed the sharp blade at her own neck. This sudden action made the air in the room seem to freeze instantly; everyone was stunned and stood there, their faces filled with astonishment.
Bai Yanfeng reacted the fastest, grabbing the sword tightly with lightning speed, his hands turning white from the force. "Xiao Di, what are you doing? You mustn't do something so foolish!" His voice trembled.
Bai Ying and Zhou Ying also seemed to wake from a dream, and rushed to Bai Di's side, hugging her tightly on either side. "What are you thinking, child? Even if you did something wrong, can't you just apologize? If you die, how will your parents live?" Bai Ying's voice was choked with sobs, and his usual sternness was completely gone.
“Yes, we don’t blame you at all. Everyone knows you didn’t mean it, we’ve all forgiven you, you’ll always be your parents’ most beloved child.” Zhou Ying said, crying, gripping Bai Di’s arm tightly with both hands, afraid that she might do something rash again.
In an instant, several people burst into tears, their cries echoing in the air as if the fierce conflict that had just occurred had never happened.
With just a few words, the Bai couple easily forgave Bai Di on behalf of Bai Ying.
Bai Ying stood far to the side, coldly watching their spectacle, her eyes filled with mockery. A slight smirk played on her lips, finding the scene utterly absurd and laughable. So everything she had just endured was simply over.
The person who started this should receive some comfort from everyone.
Having lost interest in watching their act, Bai Ying turned and left.
At that moment, Bai Di sobbed and said, "But my sister hasn't forgiven me yet. If she doesn't forgive me, I can't forgive myself either."
Bai Di's words were like a command, instantly turning the Bai couple's gaze to Bai Ying. Bai Ying and Zhou Ying exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry, fearing that Bai Di might do something rash again. Bai Ying hurriedly spoke, his voice carrying an urgent tone that brooked no refusal: "Bai Ying, although your sister did something wrong, she didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive her."
“Yes,” Zhou Ying continued, “Xiao Di is still young, she’s just a little scared. Please forgive her.”
Bai Ying truly hadn't expected that it wouldn't be enough for them to put on this show themselves; they actually wanted to drag her into it too!
forgive?
Sorry, she has absolutely no interest in this drama.
Bai Ying couldn't help but sneer, "Why should I forgive her?"
They were all taken aback by Bai Ying's words, and their eyes widened in surprise.
Bai Yanfeng took a step forward, his anger no longer concealed, and roared, "Bai Ying, Xiao Di is your sister! Even if she did something wrong, you didn't suffer any real loss, did you? How can you say such cold-blooded things? Don't you care about sisterly affection at all?" His face turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead, looking like he was about to interrogate someone.
Bai Ying didn't want to pay any attention to them, finding their words utterly ridiculous. She turned around again and quickened her pace to leave the place.
Seeing Bai Ying about to leave, Bai Yanfeng's anger intensified. He shouted again, "Bai Ying, you stop right there! You were the one who suddenly came back, trying to break up our once happy family. Now that you've harmed Xiao Di like this, you actually think you can just walk away? Don't think that just because you come from a major sect and your cultivation is stronger than mine, you can be arrogant! Also, you're carrying the Qiankun Mirror around so casually. Who are you trying to protect yourself from? How can you be so scheming and disgusting?" His voice echoed in the air, filled with accusation and dissatisfaction.
Bai Ying finally stopped and slowly turned around, almost laughing in exasperation. "Me, disgusting?"
She couldn't help but sneer, "Then let me ask you, if my cultivation wasn't this powerful, and if the Qiankun Mirror hadn't been able to see through Bai Yanfeng's malice, what would I be like now?" She took a few steps forward, her gaze fixed on Bai Yanfeng, as if trying to see right through him.
"Does that mean I'll be tricked by Bai Di and injured by you? Without the Qiankun Mirror to testify for me, won't I be subjected to all of your insults and treated as the villain?"
Bai Ying's voice grew louder and louder. She looked at Bai Ying and his wife, her eyes filled with disappointment and questioning. "Are you going to start to hate me and despise me? And won't you even consider whether I'm wronged in this matter? Why should it be my fault just because I exposed her? Am I wrong for not forgiving her?"
Bai Ying's words struck the Bai couple and Bai Yanfeng like a series of heavy hammer blows. Their faces turned deathly pale, and they opened their mouths but found themselves speechless. They lowered their heads in shame, unable to meet Bai Ying's eyes.
How could they not know such a thing? It's just that the scales in their hearts had long been severely tilted to one side because of their favoritism towards Bai Di. Their hearts and eyes were filled with nothing but Bai Di.
