“Mhmm, she’s your fathers’ blood….” Bai Yi Yi’s careful reply hits her sister like a hammer, sending Bai Yan twirling from dizziness.
Undoubtedly, hearing it first hand and making speculations are two different things. Back when she got tossed into the other world and became the Bai Yan of that side, she didn’t feel any hurt due to it not being her true life. However, this here wasn’t the case. All those memories from her childhood, the memories of her mother and father doting on her, they’re all shattered now in full like a deceptive lie from her closest kin.
Darkening in the face, Bai Yan’s eyes revealed a flicker of frost that she only used against those foes that wronged her: “Yi Yi, lead me to their home.”
At the request, the young girl only hung her head and made an uneasy posture.
“You don’t have to be afraid, just show me the way, I’m not going to let them steal the things I gave you. They don’t deserve what was my mother’s.” Bai Yan says, her smile reassuring and powerful.
“But…” Despite her own worries, Bai Yi Yi still nodded after meeting her sister’s gaze, “Okay, I’ll take you.”
Ever since that incident, the lass here has never wanted to step foot into that dreaded home again. However…. If it’s her precious Sister Bai Yan who wants to go then she’s going to take her there regardless of the lass’s own woes.
……
The former Bai mansion, an estate that’s neither overly luxurious nor extravagant, a perfect unity between modern and traditional style in its construction.
“Mom, it’s not easy for us to finally climb up to this position, I’m so happy.” Speaking was a girl by the name of Wen Fei Fei, Bai Yan’s stepsister who currently had her head cuddled against the woman that sat next to herself on the sofa. “But I heard Papa talking with someone over the phone earlier. He’s still looking for Wen Yan that bitch. She’s already left home for so many years, I bet she’ dead somewhere out there by now.”
Chai Moon’s gaze was all gentle and kind when smiling down at her own daughter despite the foul words coming out of that mouth: “Fei Fei, she is still your papa’s daughter so how can he not want to find her? A tiger wouldn’t hurt their cub, let alone your papa who is human. He’s not the type to abandon their child.”
That only roused a new flare of anger in Wen Fei Fei’s heart instead of soothing it: “If that’s the case then why did he disregard us for so many years? Isn’t it because Bai Yu and Wen Yan? Wen Yan vowed to never return and even changed her to name to Bai Yan to show she’s not related to us anymore. Humph!”
Moreover, it’s because of such a rebellious daughter that I had to stay away from here for all these years. If it wasn’t for Bai Yu’s death, Papa wouldn’t have called us here in the first place so I hope that bitch never returns to begin with.
Upon thinking up to here, Wen Fei Fei’s delicate hands would begin to clench up in frustration and annoyance due to the childhood she experienced. Unbeknownst even to her own mother, this girl had more than once snuck over to the Bai estate during her youth, and on every visit, she would see her beloved Papa doting on another child. Imagine experiencing such a scene, anyone would hold resentment in some way even if the fault lied with the one she cared about.
