After Jia Ailing finished speaking, she stretched out her right hand and gently stroked her delicate lips with her index finger, as if to seal her mouth.
Seeing Jia Ailing like this, Bai Kaixi smiled dotingly and began to tell the story that was hidden deep in his heart:
It was a winter day more than ten years ago, the wind was biting and the cold was bone-chilling.
At that time, I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I chose that remote shortcut that few people usually take.
When I was about to reach a remote alley, a miserable cat cry suddenly came into my ears.
The sound was sharp and piercing, as if filled with endless pain and fear. Out of curiosity and worry, I couldn't help but quicken my pace and ran towards the direction of the sound, wanting to find out what was going on.
When I finally rushed into the alley, the scene in front of me made my eyes widen in shock.
I saw a young child, strangling a kitten by the neck with both hands. The poor kitten screamed in despair, its limbs flailing wildly in the air, but it was all in vain.
What's even more creepy is that the kitten's fur exudes a strong, burnt corpse stench.
The smell was pungent and unpleasant, making people sick.
The child gnashed his teeth, his eyes wide open, a hideous and distorted expression on his face, staring fiercely at the dying kitten in his hands, with no intention of letting go.
I was so furious at the time that an impulse came over me. I really wanted to rush up and beat him up. However, just as I was about to scold him, something unexpected happened.
As soon as the child saw me, his expression changed instantly, just like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera. The arrogance and arrogance just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by an extremely gentle, cute and innocent look.
I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile, that smile was as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring.
Then he said to me in a very gentle voice:
"Uncle, don't be angry. I just saw this little kitten being burned maliciously. It was so pitiful that I am here to take care of it."
As he spoke, he reached out his little hand and gently stroked the kitten's head, being very careful not to hurt the injured cat.
As Bai Kaixi spoke, her expression looked particularly solemn, as if that memory still deeply hurt her heart.
Jia Ailing, who was sitting nearby and listening quietly, also felt a strong surge of disgust and anger in her heart after hearing the entire story.
She couldn't help but hold Bai Kaixi's hand tightly and said firmly:
"Oh my, how could this person be so cruel! He is simply insane!"
This happened over ten years ago, when Qin Huai was only about eleven or twelve years old. But who would have thought that at such a tender age, he would have already shown such a tyrannical and cruel side.
Thinking of this, Jia Ailing couldn't help but shake her head and sigh:
"Tsk tsk tsk... This is horrible! If what my husband said is true, I will never agree to let my precious daughter marry such a cruel and ruthless person!"
However, Jia Ailing still had doubts in her heart. She frowned and said:
"Even if he had a violent temper as a child, how could he change so quickly? Could it be that you really didn't see it wrong?"
Bai Kaixi quickly shook his head and waved his hands, and replied in a firm tone:
"Oh, why would I lie to you? I wouldn't lie to anyone else, I wouldn't lie to you! It's absolutely true. I was terrified at the time. I even wondered if I was seeing things. Because I was so unsure, I kept it to myself and didn't dare tell anyone else about it. But I don't know why, from then on, every time I saw him, the miserable plight of that poor cat would involuntarily come to my mind.
If it were anyone else, I might not have taken it seriously, since I couldn't make the decision. But this involved our precious daughter, so I couldn't remain calm.
If it is really as I worry, wouldn't it bring misery to our daughter? Now I would rather believe it than not. You know, this is our only precious daughter, how dare I take risks with her future?
Bai Kaixi spoke with indignation and forceful voice.
Hearing this, Jia Ailing's originally slightly relaxed face suddenly became tense, as if she was shrouded in an invisible pressure.
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly:
"Of course I wouldn't dare take such a risk! This is no joke. Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled. Tomorrow when I go to work, if I run into Sister Wang, I'll beg her to help our daughter find a suitable partner as soon as possible!"
The woman they kept talking about, Sister Wang, was a well-known kindhearted person in the neighborhood. This middle-aged woman loved to act as a matchmaker and matchmaker.
Moreover, she is a very Buddhist person. She never forces things and lets everything go with the flow, but she is also passionate about promoting good marriages.
For the sake of her beloved daughter, Jia Ailing acted faster than lightning.
So, early the next morning, just as it was getting light, she couldn't wait to find Sister Wang and told her her request in detail, hoping that Sister Wang would agree to it.
Sure enough, Sister Wang did not disappoint Jia Ailing's trust. In just one day, Sister Wang had found a suitable partner for Bai Susu.
