Zhou Jinchuan chuckled, “How many Zhou families do you know in Beijing? As far as I know, not many.”
Bai’s Father’s face turned pale, “You mean—”
He stopped himself before he could finish. After a moment of thought, he realized that the man in front of him also had the surname Zhou and exuded an extraordinary aura.
Could he be the grandson of that person?
Thinking about this, Bai’s Father lost his arrogance and hurriedly pulled his wife to leave.
“Excuse us! We have something to do, so we’ll be leaving now. We’ve interrupted you!”
Bai’s Mother hadn’t reacted yet and wanted to stay and chat further, but Bai’s Father dragged her out.
Bai’s Father dragged her all the way to the guesthouse.
After closing the door, Bai’s Mother couldn’t help but mutter, “What’s going on? Why are you so scared just because he made a phone call?”
Bai’s Father slammed the table in anger, “Stop it! Shut your mouth if you don’t want to die!”
Then, he immediately borrowed a phone and called back to Beijing.
After some inquiries, he learned that the Zhou family indeed had a grandson serving as a battalion commander in the Northwest Army.
Back in the room, Bai’s Father collapsed onto the floor, “It’s over! We’ve run into a big problem! Do you know who you just insulted?”
After hearing his explanation, Bai’s Mother’s legs also trembled uncontrollably, “Could it be a mistake? Should we ask Old Wang? Why didn’t he mention this before?”
“Old Wang? He might know that the Zhou family has a distinguished background, but he definitely wouldn’t have guessed it’s them!”
“What do we do now? You didn’t stop me when I was talking, you were egging me on too!”
“You ask me, who do I ask? Anyway, if they really hold us accountable, your daughter is definitely doomed.”
“Forget it, let’s go back to Beijing. Maybe things will be better if we’re not here?”
“But are we just going to leave like this? Ruolin is still suffering in the hospital!”
“Suffering? What else? Her life is a disgrace to the Bai family, she might as well be dead. From now on, you pretend you don’t have this daughter! When we go back to Beijing, just say she died in an accident.”
Bai’s Mother saw a 180-degree change in her husband’s attitude.
The daughter he used to love so much, he now wanted to strangle her.
Her heart sank, “But she’s our precious daughter! Just like that—”
Bai’s Mother’s words were interrupted by Bai’s Father’s fierce voice, “Are we supposed to sacrifice the rest of the Bai Family for her? If you hadn’t spoiled her rotten, how could she be so arrogant now?!”
Bai’s Mother was suddenly scolded and couldn’t react for a moment.
She sat alone on the bed, shedding tears for a while, before suddenly remembering something, “I was wondering why you suddenly became so heartless towards us. Is it because you saw that Su person earlier and it reminded you of Su Yin, the girl you had a crush on when you were young? Don’t think I haven’t noticed, she looks exactly like Su Yin when she was young!”
After Bai’s Father returned from the phone call, his mind was filled with thoughts of how to avoid the world after returning to Beijing, who he could rely on to smooth things over with the Zhou family, and how to sacrifice Bai Ruolin to protect the family.
But to his surprise, his wife, instead of sharing his worries, started talking about all sorts of nonsense.
He slapped her across the face, “Are you trying to push us to the brink of death? Su Yin and I were innocent, she married into the Lin family decades ago and has children. Besides, can the Lin family be messed with?”
Bai’s Mother was slapped awake.
Of course she knew that they had nothing to do with each other. To put it bluntly, even if he had any thoughts, Su Yin would never look at him.
It’s just that when she saw Su Yi earlier, it instantly brought back many memories of her youth.
Su Yin was also so beautiful back then, the center of attention wherever she went.
It made her insanely jealous, and unconsciously she treated her as a rival.
But in this life, she never had anything that could compare to her.
Even in marriage, the Bai Family and the Lin family were worlds apart, not even comparable.
Thinking of the Lin family, Bai’s Mother suddenly remembered something.
She seemed to have heard someone mention that the Lin family’s only daughter had been interested in the eldest son of the Zhou family.
She had been secretly trying to get close to the Zhou family.
If the Lin family daughter knew that Zhou Jinchuan already had a girlfriend, would she choose to give up or fight for him?
No matter what, this Su Yi had offended someone she couldn’t afford to offend, and she had gotten in the way.
With the Bai Family and the Lin family, their chances of winning would be much greater.
As long as Su Yi had no support, there might be a chance for her own daughter’s situation to turn around.
Thinking of this, Bai’s mother immediately stood up and started packing her things, “Let’s go, let’s go to the city now and take the car back to Beijing.”
……
The Bai family couple came suddenly and left even more suddenly.
However, Su Yi didn’t think much of it, only thinking that the two were scared by Zhou Jinchuan’s words.
Not long after the two left, Bai Ruolin was discharged from the hospital and went directly to the detention center.
Following this, the criminal facts were confirmed, and she was directly imprisoned, sentenced to ten years according to the maximum.
During this period, neither Political Commissar Wang nor Qin Yunfeng went to see her again.
Bai Ruolin initially made a fuss about wanting to see the two and her family, but later she dared not.
She made one final request—to see Su Yi.
This time, it was Su Yi’s turn to be puzzled. She didn’t expect Bai Ruolin to still want to see her at this time?
Zhou Jinchuan didn’t even think about it before he objected, “Don’t go, she’s like this now, at most she just wants to verbally provoke you again. There’s no point in going.”
Su Yi thought for a while, “Actually, I still want to go and see what she wants to say to me.”
The female lead’s exit should be a very important scene.
Maybe she can reveal some things she doesn’t know.
Seeing that she wanted to go, Zhou Jinchuan reluctantly agreed, “If you go, I’ll go with you.”
Although Zhou Jinchuan followed her, only one person could visit at a time, and Su Yi didn’t want Zhou Jinchuan to follow, so she went alone.
After a few days, Bai Ruolin was like a completely different person.
Her face was pale and withered, her eyes were dull and lifeless, and even when she saw Su Yi, she didn’t have the same overwhelming hatred as before, but more of a sense of unwillingness.
The moment she saw Su Yi, a mocking smile gradually tore across Bai Ruolin’s numb face.
“I didn’t expect that in the end, you’re the only one who would come to see me.”
