However, Bai Shiying still added Ye Yan as a friend, transferred the money, and explained that her father had asked her to express his gratitude.
“But my uncle just contacted me a few days ago,” Ye Yan said, her tone doubtful, which didn’t seem like she was faking it.
Hearing Ye Yan's words, Bai Shiying's mind went blank. She said goodbye and left.
Ye Yan wanted to take Bai Shiying home, but Bai Shiying declined and had her assistant pick her up by car instead.
"It's like this, I have a friend..." In the car, a strange feeling kept lingering in her mind, so Bai Shiying used her classic line to recount the story of her dinner with Ye Yan.
"Sister Shiying, your friend got tricked into going on a blind date, didn't she?" the assistant said with a smile as she drove.
Upon hearing her assistant's words, Bai Shiying looked at her manager.
The agent nodded in approval.
"Sister Shiying, who is this friend of yours? Do we know each other?" the assistant asked.
"They're old friends," Bai Shiying felt like a withered little flower.
'If Father and Xie Wei have reached an agreement, why did he send me on a blind date with Ye Yan?'
That evening, Bai Gan called Bai Shiying and asked about her impression of Ye Yan.
Bai Shiying did not answer Bai Gan's question, but instead told Bai Gan what Ye Yan had said.
Bai Gan was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad wants you to meet more people, see more outstanding people, and then decide who you like."
Bai Gan tacitly accepted that this was a blind date.
"But Dad didn't mean to hide it from you. Dad was wrong in this matter."
Bai Gan's unusual apology surprised Bai Shiying.
All I heard Bai Gan say on the other end of the phone was a sigh, "That kid might have some truth to it."
"What happened before was also my fault. From now on, you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you anymore."
"The reason I stopped you in the first place was to prevent that kid from discovering your existence, but you seemed to know that kid was waiting for you, and you still desperately wanted to get into that circle..."
"Boom!" Bai Shiying felt as if her head had exploded. She thought she might have misunderstood something. She felt her fingertips getting cold and her hands and feet gradually going numb.
Thinking back to why she entered this industry in the first place, although she couldn't remember the past, she always felt that there was an important person waiting for her.
So at that time she was looking for ways to make herself known to many people, preferably to let that person see her and then come to her.
The night Xie Wei returned home from the auction, he saw Bai Shiying, who had returned to the capital and was arguing with Bai Gan and the others about the matter.
She thought about becoming an actress. Although her parents objected, she persisted, believing that as long as she had good works, she would be able to appear in the eyes of the world and that sooner or later that person would discover her.
Indeed, she succeeded. She produced excellent works and successfully got Xie Wei to find her. But after saying those things, it seems she lost him.
Bai Shiying was sobbing uncontrollably and could no longer hear what Bai Gan was saying.
"dad"
"Huh?" Seemingly sensing something was off in Bai Shiying's tone, Bai Gan quickly asked, "Yingying, what's wrong?"
"I need the Bai family."
Upon hearing Bai Shiying's words, Bai Gan was taken aback, but then happily agreed.
Upon waking up, Bai Shiying resisted using the Bai family's power, perhaps subconsciously feeling that these things had nothing to do with her. She could accept Bai Gan and his wife, but not the Bai family, which gave Bai Gan a headache for a long time.
Hearing that Bai Shiying was using the Bai family's power meant that she had begun to accept the Bai family, which naturally pleased Bai Gan.
"And... tell me about Xie Wei." Bai Shiying wiped away her tears, composed herself, and looked like a lost child with complicated emotions in her eyes.
