Chapter 587 - Chasing Her Away (2/2)

”You're Xia Ruoxin?” Bai Zhenfeng coldly asked. As expected of the master of this house, even his tone was habitually commanding. Bai Luoyin held Bai Zhenfeng's arms as she sized Xia Ruoxin up in disdain. This woman who came from who-knows-where, she refused to believe that that child was Gao Yi's.

Xia Ruoxin lightly nodded her head.

”Yes, that's me, Uncle. My name is Xia Ruoxin.” She tried her best to smile. After all, he was Gao Yi's adoptive father as well as an elder. She didn't want to create trouble for Gao Yi.

”Who said that you could call me 'Uncle'?” Bai Zhenfeng scornfully interrupted Xia Ruoxin. The more he looked at her, the more he found her to be an eyesore… just like that man who stole the woman he loved. This time, however, Xia Ruoxin was stealing Bai Luoyin's husband, his adoptive son, as well as his son-in-law away.

Bai Luoyin started to look more pleased with herself. Everything in this house was Bai Zhenfeng's, and of course, hers as well—of course, Gao Yi included.

Xia Ruoxin was slightly stunned; however, she remained to have a faint smile. ”Mr. Bai, nice to meet you.” If he didn't want her to call him 'Uncle', then so be it. These shafts of ridicule—as compared to her years in the Xia household and to the Chu family back then—really, it was a lot better.

Her heart had already been forced to be valiant.

A small hand hugged onto her legs, and she lowered her head to see Rainy standing barefoot behind her. Rainy's tiny hands tightly hugged onto Xia Ruoxin's legs as her large eyes stared at the two people in front of her.

She had to protect Mommy; she couldn't let them bully Mommy.

”This child is Gao Yi's?” Bai Zhenfeng lowered his head to look at Rainy, his brows furrowing tighter together. Even if she was, there was no way she was going to enter their household. He wasn't going to do his daughter such injustice, and of course, he also didn't want a granddaughter of a different surname.

Xia Ruoxin carefully protected Rainy, afraid that he would scare her daughter who had become timider after the accident. She shook her head, not planning to hide anything from them.

”She's not. She's my daughter. She's three and a half this year, and she isn't Gao Yi's daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenfeng's facial expression instantly crumbled. So Gao Yi had fallen in love with a married woman who even gave birth to a bastard's child.

”How much do we need to pay for you to leave Gao Yi? Say a price. As long as it isn't too unreasonable, we'll be able to satisfy you.” Bai Zhenfeng sat down, his tone filled with a strong sense of disdain. According to his understanding, regardless of how such a woman managed to acquaint herself with Gao Yi, wasn't it just for money? As long as she could name the price, he was willing to agree to it. Their Bai family had nothing except wealth.

A look of hurt flashed across Xia Ruoxin's face.

She picked up Rainy and pressed her daughter's tiny head against her chest. ”Sorry, Mr. Bai. My relationship with Gao Yi has nothing to do with that.” If she wanted money—back then, she wouldn't have rejected her half of Chu Lui's assets that were given to her.

It was important to know that half of Chu Lui's assets could make her the world's richest lady. As for the Bai family, they were actually only upper-middle-class. When she got together with Gao Yi, he was just an ordinary doctor; and she had never known that he had such a family background. Therefore, everything had nothing to do with money.
