Shi Yu looked at her daughter without any warmth and asked, "Then why did you take her to the cemetery?"

Bai Yi said frankly: "I took her to see her biological mother whom she missed every day. She should thank me."

"you…"

Seeing her fearless and self-righteous appearance, Shi Yu was once again choked with anger.

When Bai Jingyuan rushed back, he saw the mother and daughter in a tense situation.

He quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Yu'er, weren't you planning to take Yue Chen to worship her mother recently? You just didn't know how to start. Yiyi understood your difficulties, so she helped you complete this matter. She also meant well."

He intended to ease the tense relationship between mother and daughter, but it was obvious that neither side accepted his good intentions.

Bai Yi spoke first: "I took Ning Yuechen to the cemetery for only one purpose, which is to let her face reality, stop living in naive fantasies all day long, and stop coveting things that don't belong to her."

Her words completely angered Shi Yu: "Yu Chen is only seven years old, what does she know? You are using such a dark mentality to speculate about her, don't you think your behavior is extremely bad?"

"I don't think I've done anything wrong. Instead, you should reflect on it."

“What do I reflect on?”

"You know it well."

Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel again, Bai Jingyuan hurriedly pulled them apart and said to his daughter with a gloomy look, "Yiyi, go back to your room and rest first. Dad will come to find you later, okay?"

Bai Yi glanced at Shi Yu who had his back turned, and replied calmly, "Dad, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."

"Okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow. You should get some rest first."

After the farce ended, Bai Jingyuan returned to the main building and said to his wife, "Yiyi is going abroad soon. With her personality, she will probably only come back once or twice a year. Why are you doing this?"

He no longer had any hope for the so-called loving mother-daughter relationship between the two, and even living in harmony was difficult for them.

Therefore, the only thing he could do was to minimize the escalating conflict between the two of them as much as possible.

The mother and daughter became enemies, which was entirely Bai Jingyuan's own fault. He couldn't blame anyone else.

He reaped the fruits of his own actions, which was God's revenge on him for his unscrupulous and unscrupulous behavior in the past.

In the face of his earnest exhortation, Shi Yu seemed not to hear it and walked straight into Ning Yuechen's bedroom. After confirming that the little girl on the bed was still sleeping soundly, he returned to the living room outside.

"Bai Jingyuan, do you really think it's normal for Bai Yi to be like this?"

Shi Yu looked at her unhappy husband and continued, "Whether in terms of mind, thinking, or behavior, Bai Yi is totally unlike a child of her age. Even many adults don't have her ruthlessness."

Bai Jingyuan said: "Our daughter is naturally different from her peers. She excels in all aspects, otherwise she wouldn't have skipped grades and been admitted to such a good school abroad at the age of 12 with her own abilities."

"You focus all your attention on her high IQ, but never care about her psychological problems! If she wasn't born in such a wealthy family, her actions would be enough to send her to a juvenile detention center!"

"Time language!"

Bai Jingyuan's face instantly darkened, and he said in a serious tone: "You can't say that about our daughter. In your opinion, she is cold and inhumane. But in my opinion, Yiyi's character is not only not problematic, but she knows how to protect herself better than the average girl. As a father, my expectation for my daughter is not for her to be a kind, pure and righteous person, but to have real survival skills and live out the values she wants. This is a truly healthy, safe and happy life."

"Adults all have their own fragile and soft-hearted side, not to mention a teenager. Our daughter has always been my pride. I love her very much and respect everything about her. So even if you can't love her, please don't have this kind of prejudice against her."

Shi Yu looked at him helplessly and said, "If you really thought so, how could you train her as the next heir of the Bai family? If you really love your daughter so much, shouldn't you have sternly refused when I suggested that she study abroad?"

In response to her question, Bai Jingyuan simply replied: "I said, I respect Yiyi's choice."

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then said self-deprecatingly: "She is worthy of being a descendant of your Bai family. She is so ambitious at such a young age. As her mother, I really don't know whether I should be happy for her."

As they said this, they didn't notice the figure standing outside the living room door.

A few days later, it was the day for Bai Yi to study abroad.

Most of her luggage had been sent over a week ago, and Bai Jingyuan also specially arranged for Dai Jun, the housekeeper who had been in the Bai family for more than ten years, and two capable nannies to go with her.

"After you get there, remember to call home every day, and know how to protect yourself. No matter who you meet or what happens, you must put your own safety first. Also, I have arranged a few female bodyguards for you. No matter where you go, you must let them follow you, understand?"

"I know. I remember it all."

Bai Jingyuan was reluctant to look at his daughter and said, "When you return from school, Dad will hand over the family company to you. Whatever you want to do, Dad will help you complete it."

Bai Yi didn't want to tell whether his words were true or not, and only replied: "I won't let you down."

When Shi Yu came over, the father and daughter had just finished their conversation. She opened her mouth and finally said stiffly, "Take care of yourself outside."

Bai Yi did not respond, but turned and walked towards the car parked not far away.

As she walked to the car, she felt something pulling her trouser leg.

Looking down, I met a pair of clean and clear amber eyes.

Ning Yuechen timidly met her cold gaze and mustered up the courage to hand her the purple night light in his hand.

She said in a baby voice: "Sister Bai Yi, thank you for taking me to find my mother. I am very grateful to you. From now on, I can visit my mother more often."

Bai Yi didn't take the things from her hand, but just asked: "I left you there, are you sure you really want to thank me?"

Ning Yuechen nodded firmly: "I thought my mother had turned into a star before, but I didn't know she was the star in the night sky, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach her. But now I know where my mother is, and I can reach out and hug her."

Looking at her innocent and optimistic smile, Bai Yi reached out and took the thing from her. He took a casual look and found that it was a night light made of a cartoon character that has been popular in recent years.

Although the workmanship is not very delicate, it is small and interesting.

Just as she was about to bend over and get into the car, she heard the child suddenly say, "I'm sorry."

Bai Yi turned to look at her: "Why are you apologizing?"

Ning Yuechen lowered her head with some sadness: "Sister Bai Yi, I'm sorry that I made you unhappy because I came here."

Bai Yi understood the meaning of her words. He glanced at Shi Yu who was standing not far away and observing them nervously, then got into the car.

The black private car drove out of the Bai family manor villa and headed towards the airport.

Bai Yi looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding. He didn't know how long it had been before he retracted his gaze. He stared at the purple night light in his hand thoughtfully, with indifference in his eyes.

Many years later, whenever Bai Yi recalled this incident that happened in his youth, he couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for the little girl's brave and innocent act in her childhood, perhaps Bai Yi, who had already had the intention to kill, would have really killed Ning Yuechen after returning from studying abroad.

If this is true, no matter what the outcome is, there will be no room for redemption for them.

Fortunately, the emotion and soft-heartedness I felt when I was young left me with a little room for emotion in the future.
