Suppressing her unease, she followed him into the house.
Looking at the simple house and the sparse furniture, which could be described as bare walls, the smile he had been maintaining finally crumbled.
"Dad, tell me honestly, are those treasures we hid in the house still there?"
Before he arrived, I could comfort myself by thinking that maybe my father was keeping a low profile to protect himself, which was why he was living a bad life in public.
But once inside, seeing the room so desolate that even a mouse would weep upon entering, he instantly understood. His father might truly have lost everything!
Bai Yunchen had no idea what he was thinking.
He rubbed his fingers together. "Your grandfather was angry that Yazhu and her daughter reported him and plotted against Bai Yajing. He didn't tell me where the things were hidden at home..."
"They even took back the things that were originally meant for me..."
He was filled with remorse! It was all Bai Yazhu and her daughter's fault! What a disaster they caused!
Even if the old man hadn't told him where the things in the house were hidden, he had at least left him a way out.
As long as he behaves himself and doesn't cause trouble, life will be pretty good...
Bai Zhijun felt dizzy and disoriented!
He went through all sorts of trouble to come back, thinking he'd finally have a better life, but who knew! It's even worse than when he was abroad!
Furthermore, he had just recently rejected the old man's suggestion for this reason!
Can he say he regrets it?
If he had known his father hadn't left any way out, if he had known his father had no money left, he would have obediently listened to his grandfather and returned to Country A with enough money!
"Dad! You've ruined me!!!" He was so angry that he felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yunchen hurriedly helped him up.
"Zhijun? What's wrong? Don't scare me!"
"Dad! We're finished! Utterly finished! Grandpa won't care about us anymore! Waaah..."
If he hadn't returned to Shanghai, hadn't caused trouble, and hadn't let Bai Yajing know he was up to something, he could have begged the old man to help them one last time. Unfortunately, hindsight is always 20/20!
"What happened, son? Your grandfather left you so much money before he disembarked. Don't tell your father that you've spent it all?"
Clearly, Bai Yunchen also realized that something was wrong.
Bai Zhijun stared blankly at him, pouted, and without caring that his father smelled bad, threw himself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Son, son, are you alright? Tell Dad if anything's wrong! What happened?"
Bai Zhijun knew he had to say it, so after venting, he wiped his face and said seriously.
"Dad, we have no way out! Listen to me..."
Next, he recounted his ordeal, which enraged Bai Yunchen, who then proceeded to berate Bai Laoda and his two younger sisters mercilessly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he cursed, no one could hear him. Instead, he just got really angry.
"Dad! It's too late to say all this now! We can't find them!"
The important thing right now is to solve this problem! Grandpa said he would send us away, but at that time, I was unwilling to accept the deaths of Mom and my sister, and I wanted to avenge them.
Besides, I thought you still had a way out, so I simply refused him!
Now, all our escape routes are blocked; we have no choice but to take a gamble!
Bai Yunchen was furious; he pinched his son's forehead in exasperation.
"Are you stupid? The old man gave us plenty of money to go out and live a good life, but you don't want it?"
What are we staying for? Huh? Revenge? Will we have enough to eat or warm clothes after we get revenge?
You idiot! You actually gave up? Come on! Let's go back and talk to your grandfather again!
Let's just say you've given up on revenge, and then we'll take the money and go abroad!
With so much money, why worry about not getting A citizenship? What a fool!
He's seen more of the world, and he knows very well about many deals hidden in the shadows!
Bai Zhijun twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled him back.
"Too late... Bai Yajing followed us. She knows what I did and must have told the old man. Don't you know his temper? He definitely won't care about us anymore!"
Bai Yunchen was so angry he wanted to kick this clueless idiot to death.
But when she thought about how she only had one son and would have to rely on him to support her in her old age, she could only suppress her temper.
What are you planning to do?
