I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 700: Chapter 708 So This Is What You Think of Me

Ten million was indeed an astronomical figure in those days, and she was certainly tempted.

Li Sisi had also made an effort, and at this thought, she frowned.

“I’ve already told you, the Bai Family has no secrets. How could I not know after coming and going for so long? I’ve searched high and low, inside and out, but still found nothing. What else could I do?”

At the time, she had tried hard to search, but after all these years, what was there about the house and its grounds that she didn’t know?

“That’s because you’re stupid. And you still say Bai Guang truly loves you. If he really loved you, he wouldn’t have kept it from you. If there was no secret, why would someone offer so much money for information?”

Li Sisi’s elder brother blurted this out directly. Back then, they thought they were on the brink of prosperity – was it all just a dream?

“Believe it or not, there’s nothing. I’m leaving…”

Li Sisi, impatient, waved her hand dismissively and turned to open the door of the room.

That moment, her face turned pale…

Bai Guang was right outside the door…

Although somewhat disappointed, Bai Guang just couldn’t bear to let Li Sisi face it all alone.

Even if she had changed, she was still the person he loved most in his heart.

So he returned, having heard that Li Sisi had gone back to her parents’ home, he immediately came over, afraid she would be mistreated.

Because his Sisi was so kind, and her family was a bit too much.

But he never expected to overhear such words.

She actually wanted to investigate the Bai Family. Bai Guang had never kept anything from Li Sisi.

He had told her all he knew; naturally, what he shouldn’t know, he didn’t know.

Likewise, he didn’t disclose things he couldn’t tell her.

But what set her apart from others was that Li Sisi had free access to every part of the Bai Family’s property, including the ancestral hall.

Even if Li Sisi asked, he would have told her.

Because he had once promised her he would never lie to her.

But she didn’t ask; she chose to investigate on her own and then sell the information to others.

“Have you ever considered yourself part of the Bai Family?”

This reality caused Bai Guang unspeakable heartache.

He murmured softly, fearful of frightening Li Sisi.

Even now, he was still handling her with kid gloves.

Li Sisi was someone Bai Guang had pursued.

That year at the fair, it had been just a fleeting glance, love at first sight.

She took root in his heart.

He’d asked a matchmaker, had accidental encounters, sent flowers, and watched movies with her.

He went to her house to help with chores; he really did everything he could.

Every festival, he worked in the Li family’s house, bringing gifts and meat.

The dowry was the best within ten miles, three major gifts, and all household appliances provided.

In the end, they weren’t brought over. He would buy them again if only she married him.

Over the years, he had truly cherished her.

But it turned out to be a one-man show, moving only himself.

Perhaps Sisi had never liked him from the start.

“I…”

Li Sisi moved her lips, unsure of how to explain.

But the next second, she felt she didn’t need to explain and pushed Bai Guang aside, heading back.

Li Sisi’s mind went blank, her heart a tangled mess, unsure of what to do.

She didn’t understand how things had come to this. Everything was going well; she had tried so hard and was about to succeed.

Why couldn’t Bai Fei just hold on a bit longer? It was just hair loss.

Why did Bai Zhi have to meddle? Why didn’t her own family understand her? Why did Bai Guang have to… find out?

Bai Guang followed behind Li Sisi, watching her forlorn figure.

“Sisi, I will do everything I can to help you this time.”

Li Sisi’s face immediately darkened upon hearing these words.

“What do you mean ’this time’? I told you our products are fine, there’s no problem whatsoever.”

Her life used to be her children, her family.

She had never left Bai Family Village, as if her entire life was confined there.

In the beginning, she didn’t see anything wrong with it until she heard what Nan Xi had to say.

“A woman can be the head of the household, liberate herself.”

A woman doesn’t have to be limited to the kitchen, revolving around the stove—that’s not the only option.

A woman can also take control of her life as long as she dares to take that step.

Family and children are no longer excuses.

The most important thing is whether one has the courage to step out of their comfort zone.

You must understand that there are many people out there, who aren’t as lucky as she is.

Bai Guang was actually decent to her, but others, those people don’t really consider women as anything significant.

They see them as household servants, old maids, or people who only stretch out their hands for money.

All these women should do is…

Let those women know that they too can have their own lives, their own splendor, rather than being trapped in the kitchen.

In fact, these words are not wrong—the chicken soup for the soul, if you will. It wouldn’t resonate with them if there wasn’t a bit of truth in it.

What’s wrong is the process of going about it.

You can, of course, have a life of your own and work, but it should not be through harming others with diet pills.

And certainly not by abandoning everything for it, not even caring about your own family.

“This issue—I don’t want to argue with you. The facts will speak for themselves. I’m taking you to the police station, and you will cooperate voluntarily.

After this incident, let’s separate…”

Heaven knows how much effort Bai Guang had to muster to utter those words.

The words themselves were like inflicting unbearable pain, as if taking a knife and gouging out his own heart.

If he were just Bai Guang, he could forgive Li Sisi. But he is the destined Guardian of the Bai family.

He could give his all for Sisi but could not betray the Bai Family for her.

“Sisi, I’ve told you before, if you want to know something, you can ask me directly, and I will tell you everything.

I’ve also said I can’t leave the village, my father is here. My clanspeople are here.

You said you understood.

I also said if you weren’t willing, you should tell me, and I’d find a way.

But instead, you… wanted to investigate the Bai Family and then sell out. Did you ever consider yourself a part of the Bai Family?”

Bai Guang said these words with a glimmerless look in his eyes.

In fact, he himself felt as if his future life was shrouded in darkness.

He truly loved her. He couldn’t imagine life without her.

But… life isn’t just about him; there are many others he is responsible for.

He would still take care of her in the future but could not continue the marriage with her.

“Bai Guang, what are you talking about?” Li Sisi couldn’t quite believe it; she thought Bai Guang was just speaking out of frustration.

But when she saw the look in Bai Guang’s eyes, her heart felt cold.

He really wanted to divorce her.

“Because I got into trouble, you want to get rid of me?”

That was Li Sisi’s first reaction, that Bai Guang wanted to abandon her when she was at her lowest.

“So, is that what you think of me? If that’s what you think, then I really have nothing to say.”

Only then did Bai Guang realize that Li Sisi had never truly understood him.

In a moment of clarity, he remembered his father saying that each member of the Bai Family suffers because you never know who is genuine and who is pretending.
