Chapter 1535 “Saving a Loli (4)”
“I wanted to avenge my mother, that’s why I left the family, but I’m back now….”
Ever since she crossed over into the other world, Bai Yan never thought she would be able to get the chance for revenge on the ones who hurt her family here on Earth. To be able to have this opportunity was a blessing.
“You two are both very stubborn. I don’t know if its my older sister who pa.s.sed it on to you, but leaving without a word is improper, you understand? Yi Yi too, she’s just as a stubborn. I wanted to help her, but because she was afraid of dragging me down, that child would repeatedly refuse my help and money….”
Big Sis have always been the strongheaded one in the family. Father told her from the very beginning that Wen Shan wasn’t a good man, not someone she could entrust her life to, but she insisted and married him anyways. In the end that coward didn’t even dare go collect her body after that event, what use is there for such a selfish man?
“But…” Bai Ran s.h.i.+fts her hand onto her niece’s shoulder so their gaze would meet, “don’t go thinking about revenge anymore, the backing those two clans have are not someone like you can handle. If you persist then you will only throw your life away. I don’t want my older sister’s only blood to be lost as well.”
Although this city was very big due to it being the capital of this nation, there’s only a limited number of places for individuals of high standing to visit. Therefore, it’s not uncommon for Bai Ran to run into her enemies from the two clans.
It hurts for sure, seeing the ones who murdered her sister and parents, but without strength, this woman knew its futile. A pebble trying to make a wave inside a lake, that’s the predicament Bai Ran has found herself in. What’s more, she also has to think about her husband’s side of the family. The Ling House may be one of the founding members of this nation, but the military wouldn’t really move just because of a whim of one lady. There are many cogs inside this machinery, and those opposing her father-in-law – General Ling – would undoubtedly take the opportunity to poke and prod at him.
“Don’t worry Auntie, I have my own arrangements.” Bai Yan saw the urgency in her aunt’s eye and didn’t want to worry her. She’s here to take revenge regardless of what others say, however, that doesn’t mean they needed to know her plans.
“Ahumph!” Ling Lang finally came out of his depressed state after the initial shock, “Mom, you don’t have to keep nagging her, let’s first head inside and settle in. Me and Cousin here still have something to talk about.”
Making a helpless smile at her son’s behavior as she shook that head, “What are you two going to discuss that your own mom can’t hear?”
“Oh, Bai Yan’s son is missing, I’m going to be helping her look for him.”
An audible shattering of gla.s.s could be heard echoing in the madam’s ear. Her mind literally exploded then and became a blank slate.
Yan Yan, she…. Married? And has a son?
“Yan Yan, you… married? How old is the child?” Bai Ran couldn’t hold back her inner woes and asked.
“He’s eight years old.”
Eight…. Eight years old?
Ling Lang’s mouth twitched at the number.
He knows Bai Yan has a son, but not eight years old!
“Cousin, if I remember correctly… You’re only twenty-two this year right? Don’t tell me you had a baby when you were fourteen? You’re saying during the past ten years where you were missing, you’ve been having a baby? You know getting married that young and having a child is illegal!”
p.r.i.c.king her brow at this dunce of a cousin, “Do you have opinion about it?”
Going by that look and expression, Ling Lang would immediately recall back to the powerful actions of this woman stopping a car with her bare hands. s.h.i.+vering slightly, he promptly shook his head with those hands doing the same: “Of course not Cousin, of course not.”
“If you don’t then help me find my son first.”
Giggling at that silliness, Bai Yan didn’t want to keep teasing the poor guy anymore and turned back to her aunt: “Auntie, you don’t have to worry about me, I have my own plans already. Anyways, I want you to take care of Yi Yi in my place though, she’s still at the hotel we’re staying at right now.”
“Oh, uhh yes, of course.” Bai Ran almost didn’t react in time and fumbled her reply. She’s still lost in the idea of her niece carrying a baby at fourteen years old, that’s too much for her heart.
This child, she must’ve suffered a lot after leaving home. Big Sis always protected her well, there must be a lot of pain involved that I don’t know of….
