Chapter 388 The weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken—perhaps she was overthinking it.
Bai Wei just suffered a great loss, and now she's at most a dormant snake, not yet strong enough to bite.
Moreover, Liu Landi and Chen Xiaocao are in the dormitory, and they will protect Wang Xiaoya.
Thinking about it this way, Su Tang felt a little relieved.
...
The atmosphere in the washroom was extremely oppressive.
Bai Wei pinned Wang Xiaoya against the wall, the cold wall digging into her bones and causing her pain, but the coldness in her body was nothing compared to the fear in her heart.
"Bai Wei... what exactly do you want to do?" Wang Xiaoya's voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Shh—" Bai Wei stretched out her index finger and gently touched Wang Xiaoya's lips. The cool touch made Wang Xiaoya shiver.
"Keep your voice down, don't wake others." Bai Wei had a strange smile on her face. "I said, I want to talk to you. Talk about... your family."
family?
Wang Xiaoya's pupils suddenly contracted.
“My home is in Beishantun.” Bai Wei’s voice sounded like she was chatting casually, but every word was filled with a sinister chill.
"Your parents are honest, hardworking farmers who toil in the fields and barely earn a few work points a year. You also have two younger brothers and a younger sister, right?"
Wang Xiaoya looked at her in horror, unable to utter a single word.
How could she know so much?!
“Of the twenty yuan allowance you receive each month, you keep five yuan for yourself and send the remaining fifteen yuan home. Your mother says that these fifteen yuan are your family’s biggest source of income. They can buy pencils for your younger brother, a piece of floral fabric for your younger sister, and also… make your father smoke a few less of those pungent cigarettes from the Great Production Campaign.”
Wang Xiaoya only discussed these details with Sister Su An and Chen Xiaocao in private.
How did Bai Wei find out?
Fear, like an invisible hand, gripped her throat tightly.
"You're a good older sister and a good daughter." Bai Wei's tone suddenly became incredibly sympathetic. She even reached out and gently stroked Wang Xiaoya's hair. "You work so hard because you want your family to have a better life and want them to be proud of you, right?"
Wang Xiaoya's tears flowed uncontrollably.
She nodded vigorously.
Yes, that's what she thinks.
“But Xiaoya,” Bai Wei’s tone suddenly shifted, her voice becoming shrill, “do you know that what you’re doing now is destroying your entire family with your own hands!”
"I...I didn't!" Wang Xiaoya retorted shrilly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"No?" Bai Wei sneered. She leaned close to Wang Xiaoya's ear and said, word by word, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Who gave you that chocolate?"
Wang Xiaoya's body froze instantly.
"Even if you don't say it, I know." Bai Wei straightened up and looked at her leisurely. "It's Su An, isn't it?"
Wang Xiaoya bit her lip tightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
"You think that by taking the blame, you're being loyal and protecting her?" Bai Wei's laughter was full of sarcasm. "You're too naive, Wang Xiaoya. You're not protecting her, you're harming her! You're harming yourself too! And you're harming your parents and siblings far away in Beishantun!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Xiaoya finally broke down. She tried to push Bai Wei away, but Bai Wei held her down firmly, making her unable to move.
