Chapter 15 Dreaming of the Xu Family
After returning home, Ye Ran washed up and lay down on the bed, quietly reflecting on the events of the day.
After I fell into the water in my previous life, the Xu family didn't come to make trouble. Why did they come this time?
After sorting through the timeline, Ye Ran roughly understood what the Xu family meant.
In her previous life, Ye Ran was already unconscious when she fell into the water, so she naturally didn't see who was actually saving her.
In addition, she woke up not long after returning home, and everyone around her said that Xu Qingyan had saved her, so she went to the Xu family with her parents that day to express her gratitude.
In this life, she was reborn back to the moment she fell into the water, saw Lu Yi, and learned who had saved her.
After returning home, she fainted again due to the emotional excitement of seeing her parents again, and slept until the next day. Since she knew it wasn't Xu Qingyan, she didn't go to thank them.
There was a time discrepancy, and the Xu family knew very well that they were not the ones who saved them. They were also unwilling to accept not getting a return for their greedy attitude, so after enduring it for a day and a half, they couldn't help but come knocking on their door on the second night.
After figuring this out, Ye Ran stopped thinking about it. She now felt a deep-seated disgust for the matter and never wanted to mention Xu Qingyan again.
Then she thought of Lu Yi's analysis about Xu Qiang. Upon closer examination, this matter was indeed very unusual. How could someone who had lived in the countryside since childhood and didn't even know many words obtain letters from foreigners?
Moreover, the investigation team arrived exceptionally quickly after Xu Qiang reported the case. They convicted the Bai family in less than a day and then ransacked the Bai family's property.
As you examine the details one by one, you'll find that everything is too abnormal, as if an unseen hand in the darkness has been driving the entire process forward...
But who exactly is it?
Ye Ran was completely baffled; she had never heard of her grandfather having any enemies with anyone!
On the contrary, my maternal grandfather, Bai Yi, was always a chivalrous, passionate, and patriotic man.
During the war, he provided various forms of assistance to the army. Even during the reconstruction of the country, he took the lead in donating most of the Bai family's enormous wealth. It can be said that in those days, Bai Yi was a prominent figure with friends everywhere and his home was always full of distinguished guests.
Unexpectedly, years later, Bai Yi was framed by a villain, and none of his many friends spoke up for him, as if they had all been silenced...
Except for one of Bai Yi's old friends, who was said to be a commander in the army that Bai Yi often helped back then, Ye Ran didn't know who this commander was, only vaguely remembering that her mother said his surname was Lu...
Despite his efforts to negotiate and maneuver, Chief Lu was still unable to reverse the dire situation and could only barely save the lives of Bai Yi and his daughter...
And so, the Bai family, which had made countless contributions and was extremely wealthy, was destroyed. Bai Yi died soon after, leaving behind only a bewildered Bai Yue.
Ye Ran kept recalling the things her mother had told her. Although she had never met her maternal grandfather, his image came to life in her mother's daily narration.
In his mother's description, he was so tall, intelligent, reliable, and kind...
He was also the person Ye Ran had admired since childhood. In her past life, she had thought more than once that if her grandfather were still alive, would no one dare to bully her...
