Chapter 763: Chapter 711
Bai Yu couldn’t help but blame Ye Xiu, naturally. In fact, Bai Yu was the one most like Bai Da and Ye Xiu. All had selfishness embedded deep in their bones.
It was the kind of selfishness where, no matter the situation, they always thought only of themselves, never able to see others.
He blamed Ye Xiu. If she hadn’t been reckless, then she and Nan Jin wouldn’t have had that accident.
If Nan Jin hadn’t had that accident, the subsequent events wouldn’t have unfolded passively.
So of course he was filled with resentment.
Now he was in this dark, sunless place, not knowing how long he would stay. His future seemed out of sight.
Previously, he had clearly been the favored child of heaven, bound for a particularly beautiful future. But now, he had nothing.
“Mom, you’ve always been so selfish. When I was a child, you selfishly didn’t want to face everything at home, so you stayed at school and never came back.
Even later, you selfishly evaded; in your heart, there was only room for yourself. Of course, I’m the same,
I can still understand. ’Every man for himself,’ as they say.”
It was exactly what he was thinking now.
“What are you doing here now? Do you want to see just how miserable my life has become?”
Bai Yu didn’t think she simply remembered him, her son.
Who still remembers him now? There doesn’t seem to be anyone left.
He had always hoped Xixi would come to see him, but she never did.
Xixi didn’t come, even though she was already outside, she still didn’t visit.
Then he knew, he was someone whom no one remembered.
Without Nan Xi, he didn’t care about the others.
“How can you think like that? You are my son, and naturally, you are in my thoughts.
It’s just that you know, I’ve just been released myself, and that’s why I’ve come to see you now.”
Ye Xiu felt immense pain just thinking about it.
She actually…
actually did that sort of thing, yet she felt some resentment. Her own daughter, she really didn’t understand her at all.
She didn’t know to save her, even though she later realized and regretted it and knew it was wrong. Why couldn’t she forgive her?
So she wanted to find Bai Da, to seek acknowledgment and understanding.
To her surprise, there was only resentment left; Bai Da had also left her.
Bai Da, who used to heed everything she said, had just left like that.
She hadn’t permitted it, yet he managed to leave.
The long years in prison had warped her mind, leaving her to stare at the same place every day. No people. No sounds. She could only repeatedly recall, recall her past.
And then she became immersed in those memories, until all that was left for Bai Zhi was resentment.
All the guilt had been left behind in those dark days.
That maternal love had perhaps been gone the moment she agreed to do that thing.
It was just that she didn’t dare admit, constantly telling herself, no, that’s not it. She still loved her daughter Bai Zhi.
But it wasn’t true.
The person she loved the most was herself.
“We’re all selfish people, so we always choose the answer most beneficial to ourselves first, don’t we.”
It was precisely because they understood too well. That’s why she felt exhausted at heart, as if she had to be alert twenty-four hours a day to face the world.
They both knew what was in the other’s heart.
They were simply looking for someone to confide their grievances in, or perhaps someone to collaborate with.
“Bai Yu, I really just wanted to come see you. But there never seemed to be the time, my body is just too weak.
That’s why I’m scared that I might not live to see the day when our family can be reunited.”
Ye Xiu said these words hoping to make Bai Yu think of the happy times when their family was together.
But, unfortunately, he had been in darkness for too long, and the option to be tender-hearted was no longer available to him.
“Mom, go back. Don’t come again.”
Bai Yu didn’t want to say anything more. He didn’t want to see her anymore.
“Why do you dislike me so much?”
“Yes, I just do.”,”
Bai Yu now even detested himself, let alone Ye Xiu. No matter how much he regretted it, it was too late to go back to the way things were.
Ye Xiu, looking like she had lost her soul, walked out of the detention center’s doors. Only then was she preparing to return to the town.
Could it be that she too was unwanted by anyone?
At this moment, Bai Yu was also feeling a complex mix of emotions and didn’t know what to say.
He thought that even if he didn’t want his mother to come, surely others would.
He was conflicted, hoping someone would come to see him, but hoping that it wasn’t…
He hoped someone would remember to ask him how he was doing. In short, Ye Xiu wished that everyone would revolve around her, regardless of whether she liked those people or not.
Ye Xiu returned to the town, soulless and dispirited. Now, her former business partners, who hadn’t visited before, and current good friends, came.
“Ah Xiu, we don’t know if you’d be willing to let us use this house as a dormitory, after all, you’re part of our school too.”
Ye Xiu was faced with this friend who had completely transformed.
Previously, she was just a little follower of hers, someone she brought along in her business because she felt her friend was having a tough time.
Now the friend was a principal, and she…
It was truly ironic.
Yet she felt helpless because it was all her own doing.
If it were before, she would have agreed without hesitation, but not now.
Because aside from this place, she had nothing left.
“I’m very sorry, it’s not convenient.”
The moment Ye Xiu spoke those words, even she was stunned. She hadn’t expected to refuse.
But if she didn’t, she would have no place to go.
This house was the last thing she owned; before, she could go anywhere.
She could return to Bai Family Village and have Bai Da, or not return and have Nan Jin, but now she had nothing,
No job that she loved…
She did regret it.
Regretting that she had to know the truth, regretting the divorce.
But regret was useless.
“Why? Sister Ye Xiu, you weren’t like this before. You used to say that we should all help each other out, but now you’ve suddenly changed.”
Ye Xiu also felt very embarrassed, “I’m sorry.”
She looked back and saw that no one was watching her.
In the past, there was a boy she really liked; he probably got married.
“Sister Xiuxiu, you haven’t wronged me, it’s just that the kids are going to suffer.”
She thought that bringing up this point would make Ye Xiu immediately offer up the house.
But unexpectedly…
“Oh.” Ye Xiu only responded faintly.
“But I still don’t want to. Why don’t you rent out your own place to the students then?”
You should know that the little girl across from her was still somewhat bluffing,
“Why should I? It’s my house.”
Hearing these words, Ye Xiu didn’t know why, but she felt like laughing. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in and started laughing into her pillow.
“Your house is fine; you hurry up and join in.”
Ye Xiu spoke to the impatient girl in front of her.
“I’ve already said no, I don’t want to. Aren’t you annoying?”
“I don’t want to either,”
