People are selfish. When faced with the risk of losing Su Yan, Bai Wanrou had no choice but to disregard her mother's expectations and persuade Su Yan to stop his actions.
"Baby, don't be afraid. I've already investigated her thoroughly. She has no power to turn things around." Su Yan had clearly investigated Bai Xue's relationships. Without the help of a strong outside force, it was impossible for her to make a comeback. Moreover, even if there is, he, Su Yan, was not a pushover!
"But Sister Xue's words always come true." Bai Wanrou worriedly pointed out.
"Rou Rou, are you believing her or me?" Bai Wanrou's mistrust upset him.
"Yan, I..."
"It's late, you should rest early." Su Yan hung up the phone.
Bai Wanrou called again, but Su Yan didn't answer. She knew he was angry with her for not trusting him, but it wasn't that she didn't trust him; it was...
Bai Xue's threat frightened her even more!
No, she must go to Yan!
She had to soothe him and advise him to stop!
"Where are you going at this late hour?" Bai Wanrou was stopped by her mother.
"I..." Bai Wanrou nervously clutched at her clothes, "A friend of mine is sick. She wants me to accompany her."
"Really?" Meng Shaomei scoffed.
"Yes." Bai Wanrou lowered her head, afraid to meet her eyes.
"You audacious girl! You dare to lie to me!" Meng Shaomei grabbed her hand and dragged her back to the room.
Bai Wanrou panicked, quickly shaking her head and replying, "Mom, I didn't!"
"You didn't? I heard what Bai Xue said to you!" Meng Shaomei flung her violently onto the bed, twisting her ear, "Tell me, are you planning to stop Su Yan?!"
"Mom, it hurts, let go of me first..." Bai Wanrou's beautiful face winced in pain.
"Good, knowing it hurts will keep you from doing stupid things!" Meng Shaomei twisted her ear even harder before releasing her.
"Mom, if you heard Bai Xue's words, then you should agree that I should go find Su Yan! You know Bai Xue, she always follows through her words. If I don't stop Su Yan, he and I are over!" Bai Wanrou pleaded while holding onto her mother's clothes.
"You idiot, how could Bai Xue possibly harm Su Yan! She was merely threatening you, and you believed it. Are you stupid?!"
"But..."
Meng Shaomei didn't care for her protests, she certainly would not allow her hopes to be dashed, "If you dare take one step out of this room tonight, I'll break your legs!"
"Mom! Mom..." No matter how much Bai Wanrou called out, her determined mother wouldn't be persuaded.
She didn't dare to go out either, because her mother would really break her legs.
Bai Wanrou had nightmares all night, the dreams were filled with the misery of her breaking up with Su Yan.
The field was lush with green grass, the fresh air was refreshing and the vast open space was heartening. A young and an old man were playing golf, after a while, they stopped and a caddie immediately came forward to take their clubs.
"Little girl, how do you have time to play golf with grandfather today?" Su Dongkun asked while wiping his hands.
"Why ask when you already know the answer, Grandpa Su."
Su Dongkun laughed, a hearty laugh, "Did you come to me because you've decided?"
"Yes, Grandpa Su." Bai Xue replied directly.
On the first day Su Yan started to act against her, Su Dongkun came to her, saying that as long as she was willing to marry Su Yan, he would help her clear all obstacles. Initially, she had not agreed, but after she gave them several opportunities, they still insisted, leaving her with only this approach.
If they do not leave her with any way out, why should she be merciful?
"Then where is your dowry?"
