CHAPTER 196: 195: CAUSING TROUBLE (CHAPTER 4)

Bai Xue was so angry her eyes almost popped out, seeing her niece only knew how to cry, she got even angrier, "Cry, cry, cry, every day you only know how to cry. If you weren’t so soft-hearted, would he have ignored you? You’re good, even claiming he hugged you—how shameless are you? He doesn’t fancy you, yet you still cling to him? You seem so honest usually, how did I never realize you could do such things?"

Bai Hehua cried explaining, "Aunt, I’m not lying. Today Shen Bin actually hugged me, right after he talked to me, as we walked back together, he suddenly hugged me. Even my little sister saw it."

"He doesn’t fancy you, how could he possibly hug you? You don’t need to lie to me here. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out. I’m just angry you lied to me, making me lose face like this. It was a mediator from a leader’s family, not an ordinary family. I usually think you’re good, how could you do something like this?" Bai Xue thought about how she had offended the leader’s family and felt increasingly impatient, "Don’t cry. After this incident, where would I dare introduce someone to you again? You were doing fine before, how did you start lying now?"

"Aunt, why don’t you believe me? I’m really not lying, and when we were together, Shen Bin didn’t say he didn’t fancy me either?" Bai Hehua covered her face and cried, "I know I’m insignificant and come from a poor background, so you don’t believe anything I say. Now I don’t ask for anything but for Aunt not to be angry. If you’re really angry, just slap me a few times."

Bai Xue said resentfully, "What good is slapping you? The matter is out now, fine, think about it yourself. You have a job now, your wings are strong, and I can’t control you. Decide what you want for yourself."

"Aunt..." Bai Hehua truly feared what had come to pass.

If the aunt really said some harsh words, she could still endure them, but the aunt said these words, wasn’t it like cutting her flesh?

"Aunt, I understand you’re angry, I don’t want this either, I don’t want to disappoint Aunt. But if Shen Bin doesn’t fancy me, can I still cling to him? Clearly, he hugged me and now it’s turned into me lying. I know no matter what I do now, Aunt won’t believe me. So I’ll just go die to prove I’m innocent." Bai Hehua staggered to stand up and walk out.

Bai Xue panicked upon seeing this, standing up but unable to bring herself to pull Bai Hehua back, "Really growing bolder, using death to compare? Is this how I taught you? Stop right there."

But Bai Hehua acted as if she hadn’t heard, like a walking corpse, Ye Qian from the living room couldn’t bear it anymore, got up to block Bai Hehua, and gently persuaded, "Cousin, my mother only got so angry because she’s worried about you, she’s not blaming you for being useless. Don’t take it to heart, if she didn’t care about you, she wouldn’t bother with you, right?"

Inwardly blaming her mother for being too decisive, she had to stand up to fix the mess, "Mom, you care about my cousin, but that’s enough. Look at those words you said; I know you’re upset, but cousin has already been hit hard; she’s the most hurt. Are you trying to push her to die?"

Ever since the niece said she wanted to die, Bai Xue was scared. Now with her daughter’s reminder, Bai Xue naturally felt more regretful, "Let her die, just count me as kindness going unrewarded, wasted my affection for her."

Bai Xue turned to sit on the bed and began to cry.

"Aunt, it’s my fault. I won’t say anything that makes Aunt sad in the future." Bai Hehua turned and threw herself onto Bai Xue’s lap, crying.

Bai Xue embraced her niece, they cried for a long while, finally persuaded by Ye Qian.

Bai Hehua didn’t really plan to die, after Aunt gave her a way out, she went down it smoothly, and the matter was considered over. But Bai Hehua understood in her heart that the matter was over, but Aunt definitely wouldn’t be as good to her as before. After this, she was prepared, in the beginning Aunt didn’t change much, but gradually when she returned home, Aunt said little, Bai Hehua knew she had predicted correctly.

At school, seeing only two months left until the entrance exams, Ye Ling finished reading all the sophomore books and started reviewing those test papers Zhao Guodong borrowed for her, also trying them out. Ye Ling also had her own idea, which she only shared a month later when her father came to visit her.

"Dad, I want to join them and take the college entrance exam this year." Ye Ling wasn’t very sure, but she wanted to try.

Ye He Ping was surprised, but considering his daughter’s entrance exam, he understood, "Lingzi, it’s great you’re studying hard, but you shouldn’t neglect your health. If you want to try, then take the exam. Dad supports you."

"Thank you, Dad." Ye Ling smiled, and she had her own thoughts, "Dad, what do you think I should apply to?"

"Of course, university." Ye He Ping said without hesitation.

Ye Ling feared her father would say this, "Dad, I’m just a girl, even if I really get into university, there’s not much room for development. I think it’s better to switch."

"Then what do you want to apply to?" Ye He Ping hoped, but didn’t want his daughter to feel pressured.

Ye Ling could see her father’s disappointment, hesitated, "Then perhaps I’ll apply to medical school, becoming a doctor is also going to university."

Ye He Ping was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Good child, it’s me making it difficult for you. You apply to what you like, don’t worry about me. I understand your filial piety."

His daughter being mindful of his feelings, Ye He Ping was already satisfied. Remembering how his daughter used to see him as a stranger, Ye He Ping had no dissatisfaction now.

"It’s the weekend today, do you want to go back home with Dad for dinner?" Ye He Ping asked tentatively.

Ye Ling shook her head, "Dad, I don’t consider that place home anymore. I know saying this makes you feel bad, but I think seeing my mom and I argue like that hurts you more. Aren’t I doing well now? Besides, preparing to take this year’s college entrance exam, I need to prepare many things, mainly dad needing to talk to the school."

Now having torn things with Ji Zhongjun, Ye Ling believes if she goes to speak, Ji Zhongjun will surely make things difficult for her, though it might be difficult for Ye Ling herself, this must be agreed by the parents, otherwise it won’t work.

"Don’t worry, Dad will come to school on Monday to help you with this. Don’t wear yourself out, treat it like a trial." Ye He Ping stroked Ye Ling’s head.

The elder daughter is understanding and independent, sensible and caring, and although the younger daughter is a bit spoilable, she’s also gentle and kind. It’s just hateful both children are so good, but his wife can’t stand the elder daughter, otherwise his family would be harmonious, envied by many. (To be continued.
