Bai Zhijun knew he couldn't get anything more from his grandfather. He refused to listen to his grandfather's advice and take the money and his father to Country A, in which case his grandfather would stop caring about him.
But he didn't regret it. His whole family had been killed or crippled by Bai Yajing. How could he be willing to accept that?
However, he has nothing now, so he has to go back to Shanghai. He heard his father mention that the Bai family had handed over what was openly owned, but they had left behind a lot of things hidden away!
The old man and his family wouldn't bring anything over during such a sensitive time.
He needs to go look for it...
Since Williams had already given the word, he simply bought a ticket and planned to go to Shanghai.
However, before leaving, he had to give Bai Yajing a big gift!
...
As soon as he got off the train, he contacted the Xu family.
In Shanghai, apart from the Xu family, he couldn't think of anyone else to contact.
He and his siblings grew up with Xu Jiahui, and the three of them have always had a good relationship. He doesn't have much money left, and he needs Xu Jiahui's help.
However, when he saw Xu Jiahui again after several years, he was completely stunned.
The woman in front of me was wearing old clothes with several patches, her face was sallow, and she was thin. Such an appearance would be quite normal for ordinary people nowadays.
Even the most normal thing shouldn't happen to Xu Jiahui! Xu Jiahui is the apple of the Xu family's eye, how could she have ended up like this?
The surprise on his face elicited a mocking smile from the woman opposite him.
She raised her hand to touch her face, her eyes filled with a maddening hatred.
"Don't you recognize Sister Jia Hui? Well, with the state I look in now, who would recognize me? Hehehe..."
She chuckled softly, a laugh that was particularly grating and sent chills down one's spine.
"Jiahui? What happened to you?"
Once a glamorous young lady, she's now worse off than an ordinary woman!
"Could something have happened to the Xu family?" Otherwise, how could they possibly ignore her?
"Hehehehe, something happened? No, no, no, how could something happen to the Xu family? They're still riding high! Only me! Only me is down on my luck! Only me has been abandoned!"
She roared at the end, her heart filled with resentment and bitterness.
Bai Zhijun was so shocked that he took two steps back.
"Then, how did you end up like this?"
Xu Jiahui raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, glancing at him sideways with mockery in her eyes.
"Didn't you go out? Why are you back? Judging from your appearance, you're not doing too well either!"
The thing she regrets most in her life is helping Bai Yazhu deal with Bai Yajing, which caused her to be disliked by her own family and bullied by her husband's family, leading to her current situation!
Bai Zhijun felt very uncomfortable under her scrutinizing gaze.
This person is completely different from the bright, flamboyant, and passionate young lady he remembered.
She is now filled with hostility, resentment, and anger.
"Sister Jiahui...what happened? What's wrong with you now...?"
"Ha! I've become like this all thanks to your two older sisters!"
If Bai Yazhu hadn't used me against Bai Yajing, how would I be in this state now?
My dad and brother are afraid of offending your Bai family, so they don't care about me at all now!
My in-laws are heartless, snobbish, and despicable people! Knowing that my family no longer cares about me, they take advantage of me to bully me!
"It's all your sister's fault! She lost on her own, and then she dragged me down with her! Good riddance! Good riddance! Hahahaha..."
She used to really like Bai Yazhu and her brother; their friendship of over ten years was genuine. But even the deepest feelings have been worn away completely over the years.
She's in this state because of Bai Yazhu!
