Chapter 002 Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Hearing the Voice

Shen Wan was so worried about her daughter's sudden illness that she didn't sleep all night. Feelings of heartache, worry, sadness, and self-blame kept surging in her heart.

On the contrary, after Shen Baili experienced the pain that felt like melting bones, her body and consciousness fell into a deep sleep under the comfort of her mother.

She had a long dream, a dream about past and present lives.

This dream made her realize that she was not reincarnated after her death, but traveled through time in a book. She was reincarnated as a burden who was brought by her mother to marry into a top wealthy family.

She and her biological mother are both vicious female characters in this book, selfish, greedy, vicious and stupid. After these two people from ordinary families entered the wealthy family, their mentality changed dramatically.

They developed an unbalanced mentality and tried to take over the Xie family. They teamed up with outsiders to plot against the Xie family, doing stupid things again and again. In the end, they stepped on the Xie family's bottom line and were driven out, with a miserable end.

Shen Baili: ...

She knew she was not destined to be the protagonist, but she never expected it to be so tragic.

It would be fine if my previous life was miserable, but this life is also miserable.

In her previous life, she was born into a poor family that favored boys over girls. Her mother gave birth to four girls and one boy. Except for her and her second sister, the other two sisters were given away.

Both of her parents are farmers. They work in the fields every day and occasionally take odd jobs to supplement the family income. They have no time to take care of the children, so this task naturally fell on her.

Ever since she can remember, she has been working. When she was young, she carried her younger sister and brother on her back and stood in front of a stove that was taller than her to prepare meals for the family... Later, she went to school, and after school she had to take time out to do housework and feed the chickens and ducks.

She was tired but hopeful. Her academic performance was very good and she hoped to get out of the mountains one day... Later, on her way to the high school entrance examination in the rain, she was hit by a car and died, and then she traveled through time.

Shen Baili recalled her brief previous life and did not feel any special emotions.

Both her last life and this life were miserable, but this life was different, she had a family who loved her.

So she feels very lucky that she has a super gentle, beautiful and loving mother. She grew up in love, which was something she never dared to hope for in that extremely patriarchal family.

So, where is her mom!!!???

She wouldn’t really wear it again, would she?

Shen Baili looked around hurriedly, and when she moved she pulled the wound on her abdomen, and she also found the woman lying in front of the bed.

My panicked and uneasy heart immediately felt at ease.

She moved her fingers, wanting to hold her mother's hand and feel the warmth of her palm.

Screw the original plot, Shen Baili swore to protect her mother.

Shen Baili's movement awakened the lightly sleeping Shen Wan. She subconsciously looked towards the hospital bed and met a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Mom." She said softly.

"Mom is here." Shen Wan touched her head: "We are awesome, we woke up so quickly."

"Does your stomach hurt? Does your head hurt?"

Shen Baili shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Shen Wan touched her forehead and stopped perming it.

Shen Baili continued to shake her head: "No."

"Mom," she called.

Shen Wan responded: "Mom is here, do you want some water?"

"You just had an appendectomy. You can't drink water on the first day after the operation."

"You scared Mom to death yesterday."

"Mom." Shen Baili stared at her mother intently: "I miss... you."

"Mom loves you." Shen Wan suddenly realized that her daughter was acting coquettishly and responded softly.

Shen Baili smiled slightly, with a sweet smile on her face, which made people feel soft in their hearts.

Shen Wan was heartbroken. Suisui's skin had originally been fair, but after the operation it became as pale as paper, and her lips were pale as well. She was obviously frowning in pain, but he still tried to comfort her.

She was a little overwhelmed with emotion, and when her daughter wasn't paying attention, she secretly turned her back and wiped her tears.

"Sui Sui, you had an acute appendicitis attack last night and had a high fever. Fortunately, you were sent to the hospital in time."

Shen Baili stared at the red corners of her eyes: "Don't cry."

Shen Wan: "Mom, don't cry, Mom, don't cry."

…

The attending doctor came to the ward quickly. After a careful examination, he had a general understanding of the postoperative situation. When he looked up, he saw Shen Wan and her daughter with red noses and eyes.

"The wound has healed well. Young people have good physiques and can recover quickly..."

After comforting the patient and carefully explaining the postoperative precautions, the attending physician asked the nurse to hang saline solution on her and considerately left space for the mother and daughter.

Shen Baili was exhausted and fell asleep again not long after waking up.

It was an hour later when she woke up again. Butler Lin sent someone to deliver dinner, but Shen Baili couldn't eat it. She watched Shen Wan finish it.

"How about I go out to eat?" Shen Wan thought this couple was very cruel, as she could only watch but not eat.

But for the sake of your health, your doctor's orders must be strictly followed.

Shen Baili shook her head: "No."

"When I watched you eat, I felt like I had eaten too." She smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "Mom, just eat here."

Shen Wan had no choice but to say, "As you wish."

Just like this, one person eats and one person watches, time flows quietly, and the large ward is full of warmth.

After dinner, Shen Wan and the nurse took Shen Baili out of bed and walked around. After the operation, more walking is necessary to promote gas discharge.

The three of them walked in the corridor for a while. Shen Baili was exhausted, so they went back to the ward together.

Shen Baili had slept for too long and was now full of energy, lying on the bed and watching TV with her mother.

"We haven't watched TV together for a long time, and the show "Who is the Child's Father?" that we were following has ended!"

Wuhu, she was so happy that she could watch the whole thing in one go.

Shen Wan felt very guilty and reflected on her neglect of her daughter these days. No reason was an excuse.

"Sui Sui, I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time with you."

Shen Baili had no grudges: "Doesn't Mom come to see me every night?"

She blinked playfully: "I know everything."

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, then saw her daughter patting her side and inviting her: "Let's lie down and watch TV together."

The VIP bed in the hospital is very large and can easily accommodate two people. It is comfortable and spacious.

The two of them lay on the hospital bed, watching the drama and occasionally chatting, and talked about sending Shen Baili to the hospital yesterday.

"...Next time you see Steward Lin and Cheng Yue, remember to thank them."

Shen Baili remembered it in her heart: "Okay."

"Your uncle Xie is abroad and can't come back. He called last night to ask about your situation..." Shen Wan was a little hesitant, she was worried that her daughter would be sad.

Shen Baili didn't care: "I know, work is important."

The entire Xie family is a workaholic, and her eldest stepfather is even worse. He won't even take time out to visit his own son when he's sick, let alone his stepdaughter who is not related to him by blood?

Shen Baili is very calm: "As long as my mother is by my side, I am the happiest little girl!"

"Mom too." Shen Wan held her daughter in her arms and kissed her forehead lovingly.

…

"Who is the biological father of Xu Ruanruan's child? Gu**? Li**? Or who#?"

"First, let's rule out He Zong. His name only has two characters, while the others all have three characters. They are not competitive."

Although the drama was cliché, Shen Baili watched it with great interest.

"Mom, what do you think?"

……Silent.

"Mom?" Shen Baili turned her head. Her mother was asleep. The dark circles under her eyes looked like they were dyed with ink, and were very conspicuous against her fair skin.

Her mother must have been very tired yesterday.

Shen Baili turned down the volume of the TV, covered her mother with a quilt, and turned around to watch TV quietly.

It was drizzling outside the window. She and her mother were the only two people in the room. The three male protagonists in the melodrama were dancing... er... fighting.

The heroine was frantically trying to stop the fight: "Stop it, stop it, you can't kill anyone like this."

Which genius screenwriter came up with this plot? It's crazy but I still want to watch it.

Shen Baili watched TV while gently holding her mother in her arms, feeling extremely safe.

The safe environment made her belly feel subtle.

Could it be that...

Phew~

The next second, Shen Baili farted loudly.

At the same time, the door of the ward opened, and the doctor and Xie Chengyue walked into the ward.

The exhaust...is still going on.

Shen Baili:!!! Save, save, save!

Ahhhhhh why are my farts so loud?

Ahhhhh it's not thunder? ?

Thunder is still louder than my fart.

Is it too late for me to pretend to have amnesia now that I am dizzy?

The few seconds of the fart seemed as long as several worlds.

Shen Baili's pale face suddenly became rosy and a little red.

No one spoke, it was so awkward.

Shen Baili thought about it, and then her mind suddenly twitched. She waved her hand: "Hi~Have you eaten?"

Xie Zhiyu raised his brows slightly, and a hint of smile appeared in his usually calm eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

The doctor smiled and said, "The little girl's gastrointestinal function is good. She can drink some water after the gas is expelled. After a while, when the stomach is no longer bloated, she can drink a little diluted millet porridge."

"Really?" Shen Baili swallowed unconsciously and looked at the doctor expectantly, fearing that she had just had auditory hallucinations.

Her attending physician nodded: "Really, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people."

Shen Baili clenched her fist happily: "Thank you, you are such a good person."

The attending physician: "...the little girl is really lively."

Shen Wan woke up from her sleep in a daze: "Sui Sui, was there thunder just now? It was so loud!"

[Mom! My dear mom!]

Shen Baili's rosy little face turned into a ripe tomato in an instant.

Xie Zhiyu heard her voice, and his handsome face finally couldn't maintain its cold and serious expression. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then fell down with restraint.

This step-sister is really lively.

interesting.

*

Looking at the tempting millet porridge on the table, Shen Baili's big eyes sparkled.

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Shen Baili looked pious.

Xie Zhiyu nodded: "Yes."

Be frugal with words.

Shen Baili didn't care. She scooped up a spoonful of porridge, put it to her mouth to cool it down, and drank it in one gulp.

Really delicious~

After being hungry for the whole day, I finally had rice. We can’t live without rice in this world!

Shen Baili didn't eat fast. She chewed each bite carefully. The bland porridge turned into delicacies from the land and the sea.

Xie Zhiyu was sitting not far away eating his dinner. While the porridge was cooking, he made himself a bowl of noodles.

Shen Wan originally planned to cook for the two of them, but they stopped her at the same time and persuaded her to go to the next room to rest.

This VIP ward is a suite with everything you need.

Because Shen Baili had to be hospitalized, Butler Lin thoughtfully had someone fill the refrigerator with abundant ingredients and fruits.

Xie Zhiyu simply cooked some porridge and noodles in the kitchen as dinner for the two of them.

He had just got off work and was driving past here when he suddenly remembered that Shen Baili was in the hospital, so he stopped by to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw a different scene.

Quite interesting.

Xie Zhiyu looked up at Shen Baili, who was eating with a satisfied look on her face, and thought that the surgery must have gone well.

Those who drink porridge are happy, and those who cook porridge are satisfied.

Xie Zhiyu, who had no appetite, suddenly felt hungry and ate all the noodles.

"What's wrong?" Shen Baili raised her head and met Xie Zhiyu's eyes, with a grain of rice hanging on her philtrum.

Xie Zhiyu pointed and said, "...There is something here."

Shen Baili reached out, took the rice grain, and ate it in one bite.

"It's rice."

Xie Zhiyu's pupils trembled slightly, and Shen Baili was puzzled: "Are there still rice grains on my face?"

Xie Zhiyu: "...No, you should eat more."

Because of shock, he said one more word.

"Thank you." Shen Baili thought of one more thing: "By the way, thank you for sending me to the hospital yesterday. I am so grateful to you."

[Thank you, sir, for saving my life.]

Dog life?

Xie Zhiyu looked at her closed mouth and squeezed his fingers hard.

He needs to have a good rest. He is so tired that he is hallucinating.

…

Xie Zhiyu and Shen Baili were not familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about. He cleaned up the kitchen and went back. Before leaving, he filled a thermos with a cup of warm water at the bedside.

Shen Baili looked at his tall back and couldn't help but sigh.

[Xie Zhiyu, he is such a good person]

She looked away, so she didn't notice that Xie Zhiyu, who was being treated as a nice guy by her, paused as he pushed the door open, then continued to push the door open and walked out, his steps inexplicably hurried.

Shen Baili drank some warm water and felt a sweet taste in her mouth.

She couldn't help but praise her cheap stepbrother again for being worthy of being a big boss and having perfect attention to details.

Wait, a white light flashed in Shen Baili's mind.

If she remembered correctly, the four bosses of the Xie family seemed to be beautiful, strong and tragic, and their endings were not very good...

"Ding ding ding, you remember correctly, you are all wiped out~"

A brisk electronic sound suddenly appeared, carrying with it a lively tone that didn't care about other people's lives.
