During this time, he briefly exchanged a few words with Bai Yingying, asking about some things related to her mother's death. Bai Yingying thought that Su Mu had finally realized her kindness and was beginning to enter her life and care about her.
Little did they know, the other party was merely testing them.
I want to know more.
Bai Yingying's smile never faded until Su Mu's car completely disappeared from her sight.
Suddenly, Bai's father, who had disappeared without a trace, appeared in front of and behind her. He called out her name: "Yingying."
The sound startled Bai Yingying. Her face filled with terror, and she turned around, her eyes filled with reproach as she looked at her father: "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you walking so quietly? You scared me to death! By the way, weren't you out? How did you end up in the yard? When did you get back?"
Actually, what Bai Yingying told Su Mu just now wasn't entirely a lie. Since her mother passed away, her father had indeed changed a lot. He seemed to have lost his soul, talking nonsense all day long, lacking any ambition, and constantly immersed in grief.
His various actions did not leave Bai Yingying with the impression of being infatuated; they only made her feel that her father was particularly cowardly and weak, lacking any kingly aura.
As the saying goes, those who do great things should not be bothered by trifles.
Besides, everyone has to die eventually; it's just a matter of time.
Although her mother has passed away, she left them a valuable legacy. What's wrong with that? Moreover, she has now successfully become engaged to Su Mu and is the future daughter-in-law of the Su family. It's simply a wonderful thing.
"Yingying, I've actually been home the whole time. I just didn't want to disturb you and Su Mu, so I stayed in my room. Yingying, I heard your conversation with Su Mu. I'm asking you, are you really going to marry Su Mu? Are you sure he really likes you?"
After all, he was her biological father. Even though he had some guesses and predictions in his heart, he still wanted to give Bai Yingying a chance.
Unfortunately, Bai Yingying did not appreciate his good intentions.
“Dad, it seems you can still tell what’s important. Yes, I’m getting married to Su Mu soon. We’re currently preparing for the wedding, and we’ll be walking down the aisle in two days at most. Dad, I know you’ve been losing sleep over Mom, but if I may say something, the dead can’t be brought back to life. You can’t keep yourself stuck in this dead end because of this.”
"You tell me, isn't that right, Dad? Even if it's just for my sake, please pull yourself together, okay? I believe that if Mom is watching from heaven, she wouldn't want to see us living like this, don't you think?"
To help her father get his life back on track as soon as possible, Bai Yingying added a final sentence.
May their spirits be watching from heaven.
Upon hearing these words from his daughter, Mr. Bai was momentarily stunned.
As if lost in thought, she froze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "Yingying, I understand what you're saying. Actually, it's not that I can't get over it, I just can't understand how your mother could suddenly pass away when she was perfectly fine. Could you show me your mother's autopsy report? I promise that once I've read it, I will adjust my mindset as soon as possible."
"We've been preparing for your wedding with all our heart. No matter what the Su family is like, no matter what you are like, you are our only precious daughter. Your mother started preparing your dowry when you were eighteen. Just as other girls should have dowry when they get married, our daughter must have it too."
Bai's father looked at Bai Yingying with a loving expression and spoke of his deepest obsession.
Since Mo Jingjing disappeared, Bai Yingying's life has been incredibly comfortable. Everything is going according to her expectations, and everything is progressing so smoothly that she feels like she's a lucky charm, the epitome of good fortune, and God's favorite.
Without much thought, Bai Yingying agreed to her father's request: "Okay, Dad, I promise you, I'll get you my mother's autopsy report right now, but you have to promise me you'll keep your word!"
"Otherwise, given your condition, how can I be at ease letting you live here alone after I marry into the Su family?"
At this moment, Bai Yingying really acted like a good daughter.
Such acting skills would make even today's top actresses applaud and cheer.
Soon, Bai Yingying gave her father the autopsy report of her mother's death. Her father casually said a few words to Bai Yingying and then turned and went back to his room.
Five minutes later, Su Mu, who hadn't yet returned to the Su family home, received a phone call: "What did you say? You've already gotten everything I asked for? Okay. I understand."
The call ended after a brief exchange of two sentences.
Two days passed quickly. Su Mu continued to work and rest as usual. Once, he received a call from the director, who was asking about the replacement of the female lead. Su Mu did not give him a direct answer and hung up the phone after only a few words.
When the director tried to call again, Su Mu's phone was no longer reachable.
Because of the harsh words Su Mu had previously uttered, the director was now so afraid to change the female lead unless Su Mu made a similar statement.
He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't be able to become a director.
Two days later.
The day of Su Mu and Bai Yingying's wedding has arrived.
Although they said they wanted to keep a low profile, the two families' status was undeniable, so the wedding was held in a small banquet hall of a five-star hotel.
As Su Mu had previously said, in order to leave enough of a surprise, Bai Yingying was not allowed to go to the hotel before the wedding started. Bai Yingying was very obedient to this and kept suppressing her curiosity, looking forward to the day.
This indirectly aroused her strong curiosity about the hotel's decor. When she appeared at the hotel in a white dress, Bai Yingying couldn't help but take a second look at the hotel's decor.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it. The more I looked at Bai Yingying, the stranger she seemed, and I felt a chill run down my spine.
There's something strange about this setup.
Each individual detail is exquisite and shows great care, but if you look closely at the overall decoration, it gives you the feeling of entering a haunted house.
The whole outfit looked like a giant coffin.
In fact, Bai Yingying wasn't the only one who felt this discomfort; others felt it too, but they didn't dare to say it openly, only whispering about it in private.
"My God, who hired someone to decorate and set this up? Are you kidding me? Today is supposed to be a joyous occasion, but... this looks like a coffin!"
