“I won’t believe you!” After a long period of silence, Wen Fei Fei’s only response was to shout this aloud.
Bai Yan expected such a reply though so she didn’t mind. Still grinning in a sinister fashion: “You can go ahead and try later, there’s no need for me to persuade you. See? The pain at the stroke of noon will prove whether or not I’m lying.” After saying that last bit, Bai Yan was done here and slowly headed for the exit.
“You… what did you feed my Fei Fei?” Chai Moon saw how the woman’s about to leave so she hurried to cry out for an answer. She didn’t hear the conversation due to how quiet it was, but she did see the black beady pill that was forced into her own daughter’s mouth.
Swinging her head to one side to show that sarcastic grin, “I fed her what she needed to eat. If you want the details then you can ask her yourself. Lastly, I’m going to be sticking around for the next few days so don’t come bother me. I won’t be so kind like today if they disturb me. Yi Yi, we’re leaving!”
As for the remaining debt owed to her by Chai Moon and her daughter, Bai Yan had every intention to take it all back and more, but that would come later after she’s done with her other business.
“Oh.” Coming back to her senses, Bai Yi Yi quickly gave chase from behind. Ten years, it took ten years for her older sister to return, there’s no way the lass would fall behind again.
Through all of this, the humiliation and punishment for his family, Wen Shan never uttered a single word in protest. He’s too much of a coward, especially before the woman’s incredible level of killing intent. Therefore, the man kept to himself there like he’s invisible. It’s a sad reality for those involved, but compared to his own life, there’s nothing more important for this Wen Shan.
Chai Moon also knew this of course, otherwise why else would she not try to force the man to take her back then? However, experiencing the cruel reality of her husband being a coward still hurts. Any woman would be disappointed, she being no exception.
What am I thinking? I always knew Wen Shan’s character, he only cares about his own wellbeing and no one else…..
……
Outside the manor.
The woman in front abruptly came to a halt and causes the one from the rear to bump into her back like a deer that’s lost its way.
“Sister Bai Yan, what’s wrong?”
Turning around, Bai Yan softens up in her voice to say something that she’s been holding back: “Yi Yi, I have something I need to tell you.”
“What is it?” Yi Yi didn’t understand so she got a confused look all over that face.
“I might… I won’t be able to stay here for long, and when I’m done, I will probably need to leave.”
Still not getting it, Bai Yi Yi simply smiled to say the obvious thing: “That’s okay, I will go with you. I have no relative here, I only have you.”
In the past, her life only had Bai Yu and Bai Yan as her family. With the former passing away, there’s only this older sister of hers left.
“I’m sorry Yi Yi, that place…. I fear you might not be able to go.”
To be clear, Bai Yan specifically used the word “might” because even she doesn’t know if it’s possible bring her foster sister along. It’s not like she doesn’t want to, she honestly do, but unlike coming back to Earth with the help of the amulet in her possession, there’s no tried and true method of bring someone of this world over to the next.
The smile on Yi Yi’s face disappeared, replaced promptly by the look of disappointment and sadness: “Sister Bai Yan, are you going to leave me behind again? I’m very good, I can do anything… like laundry, cooking, and cleaning…”
