508 The Secret About the Past 126 (1/2)

”This is my new chick. You two used to know each other, didn't you?” said Bai Duocai, sounding like he was flaunting his new possession, as if to say, ”Your had-been godsister has now become my partner in bed.”

”No, we didn't,” Ye Xiaotian said casually.

Sun Weiwei remained silent throughout and stood quietly beside Bai Duocai.

”Where's your wife?”

”That's none of your business,” Ye Xiaotian hissed before standing up to leave.

Ye Xiaotian completely disregarded him even though he was Bai Ranran's brother.

Bai Duocai stared at Ye Xiaotian's receding figure and scoffed, ”That damned bastard. My sister sacrificed so much for him back then. How dare he speak to me like that. What a heartless jerk.”

Sun Weiwei did not chime in and instead watched as Ye Xiaotian left.

Jin Qingyue forcefully dragged Jin Bao'er home a few days later.

That was her only resort because she realized that calling her daughter to come home did not work at all.

She missed her daughter dearly. Yet, the latter had been brainwashed by Shi Shaochuan into forgetting about her mother.

Jin Qingyue had no choice but to go down to Shi Shaochuan's place personally to bring Jin Bao'er home. Meanwhile, Shi Shaochuan only allowed her to do so because he was getting a little sick of taking care of her.

However, Jin Bao'er did not speak a word to Jin Qingyue at all after coming home.

She did not wish to eat either.

The helpless Jin Qingyue decided to try and coax her nicely, ”Bao'er, you won't be healthy if you don't eat, and if you're unhealthy, you won't become pretty. Do you want that to happen?”

Jin Bao'er stared at her and said, ”I want to be with Daddy.”

”Tell me why you want to be with Daddy so badly and not with Mommy. I was the one who raised you single-handedly. Did you forget that?”

”Because I want Daddy to make up for all the lost paternal love. Besides, Mommy, I'm happier with Daddy than I am with you. Daddy takes me out to play every day. You don't. Daddy also said that girls don't have to attend school and receive an education. He said that I can live well as long as I'm pretty.”

Jin Qingyue was dumbfounded by the absurdity of what she had just heard.

”Your father is wrong. How are you going to learn how to read and write or receive formal education if you don't go to school? You can't get away with being a bimbo who has empty brains, no matter how pretty you may be,” Jin Qingyue retorted, infuriated by the twisted ideology Shi Shaochuan had instilled within their daughter.

”Mommy, why don't you want to marry Daddy again? Are you thinking of finding another man?”

”Even if I remain single for the rest of my life, I will never marry your Daddy again.” Jin Qingyue did not quite know how to explain some complicated matters to her young daughter since the latter would not understand them anyway.

Jin Bao'er hung her head low and remained quiet.

”Go eat with me,” said Jin Qingyue, dragging Jin Bao'er by her hand to the dining table.

Jin Yiheng was almost finished with his meal when he saw Jin Bao'er walking toward the dining table reluctantly. ”Auntie, since Bao'er doesn't wish to eat, just leave her be and let her starve,” said Jin Yiheng.

Jin Bao'er stared at him wide-eyed and scorned, ”Are you trying to starve me to death?”

”You're the one who doesn't want to eat anyway. What else could happen other than starvation?”

”Who said I'm not eating? I'm going to eat a lot,” Jin Bao'er retorted, after which she picked up her chopsticks and began helping herself to some dumplings.

Just as Jin Qingyue heaved a sigh of relief, Jin Bao'er said, ”Mommy, after I'm done eating, send me back to Daddy's place.”

”What if I don't?”

”Then I won't like you anymore, Mommy.”

”…”

Jin Qingyue turned around and ignored her.

Jin Yiheng and Jin Bao'er were left alone at the dining table. Jin Yiheng wiped his mouth after finishing his food. Just as he was about to get down from his chair, Jin Bao'er yelled to stop him.
