The puppets' stage play

Chapter 280 News of Death and Disgust

"Big brother is dead, I'm sorry, I can't bring him back..."

Listening to the other party's words mixed with sobs, the girl's hand movements froze and her eyes became dull.

"I know you want Mr. Yan to speak up and save your father, but it's no use anymore, he's already dead."

Bai Furen said in despair, but the girl seemed unaware and still looked dazed and lost.

"It's because I'm worthless. That wise and powerful elder brother will plead with those people for you and finally save you. But even if I break my head, no one cares. I...can't do anything..."

Bai Furen's eyes became more and more intoxicated, and his tone sounded like he was whispering.

"Haha, he is obviously the arrogant elder brother, but he would kneel down and beg me in a humble manner. Begging me, a person who has accomplished nothing, is really funny."

His mouth was obviously funny, but his eyes were full of sadness. He kept kowtowing to the girl, each one louder than the last.

"It was me who failed to live up to his expectations. It was me who brought the Bai family to where they are today. I am guilty. One by one, I'm sorry..."

He kept apologizing, maybe only in this way could he ease the apology in his heart.

"Uncle...we...are family"

The girl patted the other person's hair, and then said something, and Bai Furen burst into tears.

After a while, Bai Furen stopped crying, and then said in a solemn voice, his face full of determination.

"I am no longer naive. I will admit my mistake to the old man. He will definitely find a way."

"Yiyi, you go and rest, uncle..."

Bai Furen stopped talking and looked a little embarrassed, but there was no confusion in his eyes.

The girl nodded and turned back to her room.

"...I hope I won't be refused entry there, old man, alas..." Bai Furen lamented and left here. He also wanted to make some contacts first.

After that, the two went to the Bai family's old house, and along the way they looked at their uncle who was ignored by others even though he kept laughing. The girl then realized that the other people in the Bai family probably looked down on him at all, so he didn't ask for help on weekdays.

In Mr. Bai's residence, only young girls were allowed to enter, and Bai Furen was also turned away.

"Come here, good boy, let grandpa see you"

Deep in the house, an old man with white hair and beard was lying on the bed, his wrinkled face showing a heartfelt smile to the girl.

The girl sat next to the old man and looked at him quietly.

"Do you know? It was actually me who strongly advocated Furen's rise to power, and it was I who refused the Bai family to help him. That's why my incompetent son ended up like this. However, in a sense, he It’s indeed beyond my expectation.”

“In a stupid way, hahaha”

The old man laughed and mocked his nominal son without paying any attention to it. The girl did not retort. Although what the other party said was cruel, it had nothing to do with her.

"Haha, you are indeed my granddaughter. You are also a cold guy. I wonder if you can remain the same as you are now if you listen to what I am going to say next?"

The girl remained silent. In her opinion, it was just some darkness within the family, and she didn't care about that.

"Listen, the decline of the Bai family is my fault. It was me who gave up on the Bai family. Including your father's death, it was just a part of the deal."

The old man said coldly, and then looked at the other person expectantly.

The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes. She looked at the old man in shock, with extremely puzzled eyes. If what the man who founded the Bai family said was true, then all the troubles she suffered now were caused by him.

"Yes! It's this look, haha, it's really fascinating."

"Why..." she couldn't help but ask.

The old man stopped laughing, and then looked at the girl with a cold look, making the latter shudder.

"Because you are my children. Although I am unable to resist the traitor who dominates the situation, I will never let him have an easy time."

"My life's accumulation? Take it!"

"My children's lives? Take it!"

"He can even take my life, but I will never let that villain have an easy time. Since he has a god on his side, what if I take refuge in the evil god?"

The old man sneered, as if venting his long-standing resentment to someone, and then he looked at the girl with eagerness in his eyes.

"Yiyi, do you know why our surname is Bai?"

The girl's vision went dark for a while, and she could faintly hear a hissing sound in her ears, but the old man's voice continued to sound.

"We have been waiting for someone to appear from the past until now, and you, Bai Yiyi, you are the person we have been waiting for!"

The old man shouted, like a hoarse patient issuing his last call for life. The voice in the girl's ears suddenly became intense. A flash of white seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.

'Bai Chongshan' got off the bed at some point. He looked down at the girl lying on the ground with weird eyes, with a creepy smile.

"You can't escape, your past and future are all mine, hahaha!!!"

The girl woke up faintly, and found herself lying on the bed, beside Bai Furen, who looked haggard. When he heard the sound of waking up, he stretched his head overjoyed, with concern on his face.

"How do you feel? You were unconscious when you met the old man. You were carried out, but I was shocked. The old man cursed at me, saying that I was abusing you. Do you think I was wronged?"

Bai Furen chattered on the side, handing over a glass of hot water while talking.

The girl took it and thought about the situation before she fell into coma. Then she couldn't help but frown, as if her memory was a little fuzzy, as if an old man said... She was suddenly startled, and she remembered what the other person said.

deal……

She looked at Bai Furen's tired face and felt a little complicated.

Suddenly, there were messy footsteps outside the house, and not long after, several Bai family members with panic-looking faces ran in, and they said anxiously.

"Mr. Bai is in a coma, the doctor said, just for the past two days!"

Bai Furen's eyes widened. He first looked at the girl, then struggled with his eyes for a moment, and patted the girl on the shoulder.

"Uncle, you'll be back soon." He tried his best to stay calm, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed him.

The girl nodded, and then watched her uncle run out eagerly. She sighed softly, what will happen to the Bai family in the future?

Mr. Bai left two days later, and the girl attended the funeral. Many people came to the hall, including the current mayor Yan Sheng, and another sudden big shot, who was said to be Kang Tainian, the chief dean of Qingjing College.

He is also the acting dean who currently exercises power over Qingjing Academy.

With the mediation of Kang Tainian, the Bai family withdrew from Haizhou City, and Yan Sheng also announced that he would no longer continue to suppress him. It seemed that a bright future was coming, and the girl no longer had to worry about the plight of her family.

But maybe only she understands that this is a deal.

The Bai family used their reputation for many years of business to achieve Yan Sheng, and Yan Sheng could naturally take over the power. At the same time, Qingjing Academy, which supported him, also gained control over the city.

Only when the famous Bai Chongshan dies will the remaining careerists surrender. This is also one of the prerequisites, and it is also the condition that Kang Tainian came to negotiate with Bai Chongshan in person.

And the current mediating posture is just to further strengthen Qing Jing's authority and expand his own reputation, so as to remove the falsehood on his head.

The girl knows this very well, so he will not be grateful to the other party.

"One by one, come here and say hello to your uncles!" Not far away, Bai Furen shouted to this side.

"Yes," she responded softly, and then spoke slowly in the face of everyone's scrutinizing eyes.

"Bai Yiyi has met all uncles... uncles"

She glanced at Yan Sheng, who had a calm expression, and Kang Tainian, who was smiling slightly, and felt calm in her heart. Although they may be the ones who caused the Bai family's current situation, to her... what does it have to do with it?

For some reason, there was no disturbance in her heart, and even the impression of the man in her mind was gradually blurring. To her, it seemed that everything in front of her had become insignificant.

She looked at her past actions and felt extremely unfamiliar. Was that really the choice she made?

"Well, she is indeed Brother Bai's daughter. She is indeed knowledgeable and polite, virtuous and intelligent!" Yan Sheng said in praise, stroking his palms.

"The whole river is clear and shallow, leaving only a touch of white. Although its fragrance is light, I will never leave it for a long time."

Kang Tainian said some poetry, and then looked at the girl with admiration.

"Although Yu Boxe's Love Lotus is biased and has been despised by other literati in history, his use of the word here is just right. However, after all, we are really living in this world, and we cannot I have always been immersed in my own world.”

After Kang Tainian praised her, with some advice, he saw that the girl's expression was a little too cold, and she felt a little inhumane, so he advised her to get closer to reality. However, his good intentions could still be seen.

The girl nodded with a dull look, and then spoke.

"What you all said is true. Yiyi knows it. Please excuse yourself first. I feel a little unwell."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked outside.

"Hey, this kid, I'm afraid he misses the old man, please forgive me." Bai Furen smiled and tried to smooth things over.

Naturally, the two of them would not get angry with a little girl, so they smiled and said they didn't care.

Bai Yiyi walked outside, holding her hands on the wall, her face turned pale, and then she spat it out with a loud sound.

After vomiting for a while, she felt a little better. Thinking of the previous scene, she couldn't help but feel doubtful and...a little scared.

"I...what happened..."

Her heart was filled with fear that something had become 'her' just before.

But that's not her! The kind of person who was so indifferent that she was afraid of him!

Her expression suddenly paused, with a look of fear on her face.

If that thing was still here at that time, then she was thinking about whether she was under the other person's gaze now.

She suddenly felt chills, goosebumps appeared all over her body, a feeling of nausea rose up in her throat, and she vomited again.
