Opening her eyes, Bai Ruoxi looked at them with no more resentment or unwillingness in her eyes, only deep dependence.
"Dad, big brother...you asked me why? It's completely because...you are the most important people in my life. I love you so much, that's why I can't bear to let you go. I'm afraid that you will be taken away from me."
"Ever since Mom passed away, I've had nightmares. I dreamed I was kicked out of the Bai family and wandered the streets like a beggar... Then I dreamed Mingxin had taken my place, living in my house, lying on my bed, wearing my clothes and shoes... He was affectionate with my eldest and second brothers, and he leaned on Dad's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child..."
"I, I know this isn't right, but I'm really scared! If one day you all leave me, I'd rather die! I'm so afraid that everything now is fake, like a colorful bubble that will disappear in the blink of an eye!"

Bai Ruoxi nodded with red eyes, "I understand, Dad."
Bai Dingxian tried to persuade her earnestly, but in the end, he was left with only pity and helplessness in his heart.
"By the way, Jiwen, you just said that teacher Zhang Xia stole Mingxin's 300 yuan bonus. Is that true?"
Bai Jiwen nodded coldly: "Yes, the evidence is conclusive."
Bai Dingxian frowned. "But the last time Mingxin came to our house, I asked her if she had received the money, and she said Ruoxi had already given it to her! Ruoxi, what's going on?"
