Chapter 9: Hidden hidden dangers

When An Baili rushed to the low-rent area, she saw her father lying on the ground like a corpse. Is he dead? She speculated maliciously that it would be great if he was really dead. To her disappointment, An Gulai, who had sensed her arrival, turned his head away, tears still lingering on his face: “Who the hell asked you to come?”

No answer, because he didn’t dare to answer.

The street lights were on, shining on An Gulai like a prison searchlight, and the world seemed like a cage.

“Get back before I lose my temper.”

“They said you were going to be beaten to death.”

“Not dead yet.”

“I’ll take you home.”

“No need.”

An Baili stood there with her hands down, at a loss. An Gulai didn’t hear any other noises, and thought his daughter had left, and she started sobbing like a little girl again. An Baili heard him whispering, “Jinliu, I almost got to accompany you today.” Hearing this, An Baili, who had been suppressed for a whole day, exploded, and she threw a box of unopened band-aids in her hand at her father.

“Why is it always like this!”

“Why am I never the most important person in your eyes!”

“Whether you or Li, am I born a bastard! No matter what I do, I can’t change it!”

An Baili didn’t know if she was crying or not, she just felt a little numb inside. The last time she felt this way was a long time ago, when Lu Li and Wen Hubo got married, she received the invitation, and her heart was numb with grief. Extreme sadness will not come suddenly like thunder, but will come inadvertently late at night.

She felt that she had tried very hard. She tried her best to change herself and pursue her own happiness, but her father was always immersed in her mother’s memory, and she was not closer to Lu Li’s heart. Her every move was imitating Wen Hubo. She just repeated what Wen Hubo did that year, and changed her fate and turned the bride into herself. But why did Lu Li leave her in the end? In the final analysis, was it because she was not Wen Hubo?

An Gulai, who was hit in the face by the packaging box, was about to get angry, but when he saw An Baili’s tearful face, he somehow thought of his beloved wife. He wiped the dirt and blood off his face, raised his hand to hold An Baili’s hand, and suddenly he had an impulse to say to An Baili like a father: “Let’s go home.”

But as soon as An Gulai raised his hand, An Baili thought he was going to hit someone, and was so scared that she took several steps back. The man’s hand froze in mid-air, and then he sneered like a self-deprecating laugh.

In the distance, Zhou Haiming, Chen Shiwei, and Ruan Qian were watching An Baili and An Gulai and his daughter.

“Is that his daughter?” Zhou Haiming narrowed his eyes.

Chen Shiwei said: “The daughter pays the father’s debt. Her father is crazy, so let her pay the debt.”

Ruan Qian instinctively felt that it was not good, but she did not have the courage to refute, so she could only say in a roundabout way: “Should we tell Brother Lu? He is smart, let him make the decision.”

“Brother Lu is too kind, he will definitely not have the heart to do it.” Zhou Haiming shook his head, “It’s better for us to do this kind of thing. Anyway, we are also dead, we must make that old bastard regret it!”

The next day.

An Baili still dressed up today, beautiful and lovely. It seemed that Lu Li’s words yesterday had no effect on her. When she saw Lu Li, she would still run up to say hello with a smile, even if Lu Li didn’t respond with a straight face, she would happily talk to Lu Li about some trivial things in life. Like a dancing butterfly.

Feelings are like a quagmire. The more people are involved, the more they can’t get out of it, and they will only sink deeper and deeper.

When An Baili was talking about how she likes to put more sugar in her dishes, she suddenly saw Chu Jingyi jogging over. Chu Jingyi’s running posture is very girlish, and you can tell at a glance that she is not usually active. The monitor greeted An Baili and Lu Li as always. For her, meeting her best friends is the best start of the day.
