Chapter 2114: Were You Taken Advantage Of?
Bai Feifei took a deep breath. She needed to see her mother. No matter what, she had to know the truth.
She couldn’t believe that Uncle was such a cruel person, that he really killed her father.
When the nurse came to deliver her food, Bai Feifei convinced her to swap clothes with her. She then ran out of the hospital.
Dressed in the nurse’s uniform, Bai Feifei was not besieged by reporters.
At the police station, Bai Feifei hesitated again. She reached the door but lacked the courage to walk in.
Bai Feifei took a deep breath and decided she still wanted to meet her mother.
Her mother was much older now. When she saw Bai Feifei, she feverishly asked, “Feifei, are you alright? Were you taken advantage of by Tang Yu? How could you do such a thing?”
“No, Mom. I want to ask you if Father was really killed by Uncle.” Bai Feifei looked at her, holding her breath as she waited for the answer.
“Uncle?” Her mother’s face was sullen. “He killed your dad, and you call him ‘Uncle’? Do you know how horrible your dad’s death was? Do you know how tall the building he jumped off of was?”
“Tang Yu wanted to buy our company. This company was your father’s business, he built it up from nothing. How could he be willing to sell it? Not long after, your father received a case that promised to be very profitable but required a lot of investment in the early stage. You should know what happened after that.” Her mother stared at Bai Feifei with bloodshot eyes.
“Mom…” Bai Feifei started crying. “When Father died, I was alone. I was so scared. It was Uncle who took care of me. Mom, where did you go?”
Bai Feifei’s mother wiped her tears away. “He treats you with a bit of kindness and suddenly he has your heart. Your father jumped from a rooftop! Do you know why he adopted you? It’s because he wanted the brand.”
Bai Feifei’s expression was dazed. Her gaze was empty and her soul seemed to have left her body. Her heart was torn in half at the news that her beloved uncle had killed her father.
Now her mother was in prison, and she didn’t know what the future held.
“Mom, it would’ve been better if you were there for me. Then this wouldn’t have happened,” Bai Feifei murmured to herself. She was at a loss and there was no one to rely on. It was always Uncle who gave her a helping hand, who protected her, who gave her someone to rely on.
But now, hearing such cruel things, Bai Feifei would rather be ignorant. The truth was often cruel.
“I wasn’t there? Feifei, did you think I abandoned you?” Bai Feifei’s mother was exhausted. “At the beginning, I watched my husband jump from the building. I watched as his blood seeped all over the ground because I would’ve been heartless not to look. I took the funds your father gave up his life for and went abroad to accumulate enough money for us mother and daughter to survive.”
“But I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen in this short of a timeframe. The brand your father worked so hard to manage was lost. I originally planned to come back and sell the brand off so that Tang Yu wouldn’t succeed. But I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect…”
Bai Feifei’s mother clenched her hands. “If your father knew, he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know, I really didn’t know!” Bai Feifei apologized, still crying. Her expression was one of shock.
“I won’t forgive Tang Yu. Even when I die, I won’t forgive him. He killed my husband and deceived you.” Bai Feifei’s mother gritted her teeth. She was filled with hatred.
Bai Feifei quickly said, “Mom, Uncle isn’t that bad. He didn’t deceive me, it was my fault. I’m sorry! I know I shouldn’t have fallen in love with Uncle. Mom, it’s better to stop enmity than keep it alive. Let’s just leave. Please don’t take revenge, I beg you.”
Her mother was furious at Bai Feifei’s words. She shook her head and resolutely said, “I watched your father die! He slammed into the concrete. Thud. A life gone, just like that.”
