Chapter 426: Seeking refuge with Bai Zhi
Bai Zhi was about to take out her keys to open the door when she saw a dark figure standing at the door. After all, she lived alone, and seeing a figure at her door late at night still made her quite scared.
But judging from his figure, he's about the same size as her.
The first name that came to her mind was Bai Weiwei.
She knew that the woman, seeing how she had changed her fate, would never let it go.
When she got married, she had no connection with the Bai family whatsoever.
The Bai family is definitely not willing to accept this.
Especially Bai Weiwei, Zhao Kai is unreliable in this life, and she herself is not capable enough to support her ambitions.
They'll definitely resort to crooked and unethical methods.
She picked up a tree branch from the corner of the alley and held it in her hand.
They walked over slowly.
If there's only one woman, her fighting ability is definitely not a problem.
Bai Zhi cautiously took steps, and just as she reached the door, the figure turned around.
Although it was already late, the dim streetlights in the alley were still enough to make out the outlines of people's faces.
Bai Zhi threw away the branch in her hand and asked in surprise, "Lu Ya, what are you doing here?"
She really didn't expect it to be Lu Ya.
Lu Ya, who was almost frozen, finally waited for Bai Zhi to return. She sniffled and said, "Sister-in-law, can you open the door first? I'm so cold."
Bai Zhi glanced at her, said nothing, but took out her keys from her bag and opened the door.
"Come in."
She let the person in, her tone neither warm nor cold.
Once inside the house, Bai Zhi was able to see Lu Ya's face clearly.
Her face was blue from the cold, snot was constantly dripping from her nose, and she kept sneezing.
"What brings you here?" Bai Zhi asked, looking at her.
Lu Ya had been wandering outside for a day. When she saw her family, she couldn't stop crying.
Bai Zhi looked at her, but her heart was not moved.
She could roughly guess why Lu Ya was in this state.
However, it's a bit too fast for her to have changed like this after only two days away from home.
Bai Zhi asked her, "Where's Li Wei? Why are you alone?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi mention Li Wei, Lu Ya could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
She tried to lean closer to Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi frowned and avoided her.
She was even annoyed by her own crying.
Crying is the most useless thing to do. "Just tell me what's wrong. Crying won't help."
She wouldn't feel sorry for her or empathize with her.
It's all this love-struck fool's own fault.
The fact that she was able to rescue her from this hell at this time in her lifetime is already considered extremely kind and righteous, a great act of merit.
What the future holds is entirely up to Lu Ya herself.
“Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Li Wei is a bastard. He cheated me out of money and my feelings. He doesn’t love me at all. He has always loved Zhang Qiuhua from his hometown. He cheated me out of so much money and spent it all on that woman.”
Lu Ya sobbed uncontrollably, her whole body covered in tears.
"Oh, you finally saw it clearly?" She looked at Lu Ya coldly, without even handing her a handkerchief.
"Didn't you say we were all lying to you? Didn't you firmly believe that Li Wei truly loved you? How come you've changed your mind in just two days?"
"Sister-in-law, I actually knew a long time ago that he was lying to me, but I didn't want to face this cruel truth. I've been deceiving myself all along. I was too stupid. I'm not smart enough. My parents cut ties with me. It's my own fault."
Lu Ya's face was covered in tears, and the more she cried, the more heartbroken and sad she became.
Bai Zhi said bluntly, "You really are stupid."
Lu Ya, "!!!"
Looking at Lu Ya, who was staring blankly, she continued, "So, I don't believe you'll really give up on Li Wei. With your brain, if that scumbag says a few more sweet words, you'll still be all over him."
"You know he doesn't love you, he loves your money, so you keep demanding money from him and showering him with it. You know that's how you keep him around."
The money you spend on him is enough for him to live a life of luxury with other women.
Bai Zhi's words hit the nail on the head, striking at Lu Ya's sore spot, and she lowered her head in shame.
Remaining silent.
Bai Zhi looked at her and asked, "Lu Ya, I've always been puzzled. You're not ugly, your family background is so good, and you're excellent in every way. Why would you like a man like Li Wei?"
Bai Zhi analyzed, "Is it because you've been looking at all kinds of handsome men in the military compound since you were a child that you've gotten tired of them and developed aesthetic fatigue, so your taste has become skewed and you've started to like trashy guys?"
"It's like, from childhood to adulthood, your family has always prepared a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and now you just want to eat some stinky tofu?"
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she coughed lightly, realizing that her analogy was inappropriate. "It seems like I'm insulting stinky tofu by saying that."
Lu Ya bit her lip and said weakly, "Sister-in-law, you're right, I was just blind."
It must be said that her cousin-in-law was absolutely right.
She truly understood her psychology.
That's how it is.
She was rebellious and always felt that the men in the military compound, including her cousin, were cold, serious, and boring, with no interest whatsoever.
She likes the kind of lively guy who chases after her.
Bai Zhi was quite surprised that Lu Ya would actually come to her senses.
It's unclear whether it was a momentary realization or a complete loss of hope.
Bai Zhi didn't dwell on the question. She said, "So what are you going to do now? Go home? I'll take you home."
Lu Ya quickly shook her head, indicating that she was not going home.
She lowered her head guiltily and explained weakly, "My mother and I have already signed a letter of commitment to sever ties. If I go back now, they won't let me in. I've brought shame to my grandfather, and my mother is completely disappointed in me. I have no face to face them."
"Do you have a place to stay?" Bai Zhi lifted her eyelids, asking a question she already knew the answer to.
"No."
After Lu Ya finished speaking, she looked at her pitifully and asked weakly, "Sister-in-law, can you take me in?"
Bai Zhi answered decisively, almost without hesitation, "No."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ya lowered her head in grievance.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi was so cold-hearted. She had come to her door seeking refuge, yet she was refused to stay for an entire night.
Lu Ya didn't want to leave because she had other things to talk to her about.
So she told Bai Zhi what had just happened on the street.
She asked Bai Zhi, "Sister-in-law, do you still keep in touch with your younger sister from your hometown?"
Bai Zhi's expression grew even colder when she heard Bai Weiwei mentioned out of the blue.
“No,” she replied.
Lu Ya said angrily, "Then how did she know about me and Li Wei? She even tried to cheat me out of money by pretending to be a fortune teller, humph."
After thinking it over, Lu Ya thought that Bai Weiwei knew so much about her affairs, so it must have been leaked from Bai Zhi.
Or maybe Bai Weiwei went to Nancheng Normal College today.
Clearly, the subsequent guess was wrong; she was just a sweet potato vendor.
What are you going to do at Nancheng Teachers College?
