Chapter 555 Picked up another one
Bai Yisha was lost in thought for a while, then ran to the window and peered out.
Her eyes searched through the sparse crowd downstairs, hoping to see people coming in, but everyone was going out; no one was coming in.
When Song Yumi saw Bai Yisha walk to the window, she quickly followed, holding Bai Yisha's hand tightly, her eyes never leaving her for even a second.
His hands were ice cold.
Bai Yisha didn't know what was wrong with him, but she didn't say anything and let him be.
She stood by the window for a while, then murmured in confusion, "Why haven't Huanxi's parents arrived yet?"
His voice carried a hint of confusion and worry.
Yu Huanxi had been watching Bai Yisha's actions closely, her eyes still red. She shuffled over and whispered, "Sister, no one's come to pick me up."
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, yet it struck Bai Yisha's heart like a heavy hammer.
"what?"
Bai Yisha paused, then turned to look at her. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What do you mean no one is coming to pick you up?"
Lu Jingyan then produced some strange little brown dumplings from who-knows-where and fed them directly to Bai Yisha, saying, "She's an orphan."
Bai Yisha: "??"
With something Lu Jingyan was feeding her in her mouth, she turned her gaze to Yu Huanxi in surprise.
The small brown dumpling melted in her mouth, carrying a hint of sweetness, but it couldn't ease the shock in her heart.
Yu Huanxi nodded obediently, her fingers fidgeting, a sense of dejection emanating from her.
“I was originally an orphanage child, and the Yu family adopted me. In recent years, the Yu family’s business has declined. Due to excessive worry, Mr. Yu fell ill and passed away, and Mrs. Yu died in a car accident on her way to buy a cake. Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu have a biological daughter named Yu Yixin. We are best friends and best sisters. But a few days ago, I wanted to eat ice cream, and she took me out to buy it. Then we were abducted here.”
Her voice grew softer and softer, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the depths of her heart.
"Clap."
Yu Huanxi's tears slid down her cheeks, fell to the ground, and disappeared.
Bai Yisha quickly pulled her hand away, cupped her little face in her hands, and wiped away her tears. She wanted to say something, but when the words came out, she couldn't utter a single one.
Yu Yixin......
She was the girl whom He Zhizhou and the others mistook for Bai Yisha.
Fate always makes its decisions in the smallest details.
Bai Yisha sighed one last time, pulled the person into her arms, and gently patted her back.
A wave of grievance washed over Yu Huanxi. Her fingers, gripping Bai Yisha's clothes, turned white. She sobbed hoarsely, "Sister, am I a jinx? Waaaaah, I must be! I killed them! It was me, I deserve to die! Waaaaah, why did you do this to me..."
Bai Yisha's eyes also reddened. She pressed her cheek against Huanxi's forehead and shook her head, urgently coaxing, "No, Huanxi is a lucky star. Because of you, all those abducted girls were saved, weren't they? Don't cry, it breaks my heart..."
This girl is only sixteen years old, yet she has to go through so much.
Yu Huanxi shook her head repeatedly, crying louder and louder, her voice filled with heart-wrenching pain: "No, it's not like that... I didn't save her, waaaaah... I have no family anymore... Sister, sister, I'm all alone again..."
She didn't know at first that Yu Yixin was dead.
When Luo Su returned and mentioned Yu Yixin's name, she stood there dumbfounded for a long time, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Seeing that she couldn't coax Yu Huanxi, Bai Yisha burst into tears. Through her teary eyes, she looked up at the men in the room, and Chi Liche's position happened to be right in front of her.
Chi Liche was taken aback, then helplessly pinched his brow bone, got up and walked over, directly pulling Yu Huanxi away, his brow furrowed with a wicked aura: "If you keep crying, it'll get dark soon. Do you want to stay here any longer?"
Yu Huanxi was startled by Chi Liche's sudden outburst, and forgot to cry. She stiffly turned to look at Bai Yisha, her body trembling with fear.
Seeing this, Lu Mingxing's lips twitched, and he stepped forward to stand between the two, saying, "Mr. Chi, why are you scaring the child?"
Chi Liche shrugged, helplessly waving his hands to his sides, and casually said, "The little girl is looking at me with such pleading eyes. If I don't pull her away, would you really want to pull the little girl away?"
Lu Mingxing: "......"
Lu Jingyan took out a tissue and carefully wiped away Bai Yisha's tears, then chuckled and whispered, "What's wrong with you? You have to get involved in everyone's crying. The nickname 'little crybaby' is really fitting for you."
Bai Yisha hummed twice and turned her face away.
In the end, Yu Huanxi was taken home by Bai Yisha; in her words—
"I'm rich and foolish, I can easily support one and make him happy."
She also had to support Yu Huanxi's education and raise her.
They had no objections to Bai Yisha's actions. The villa was large, and she had many houses. Besides, this wasn't the first time Bai Yisha had sponsored someone's education; taking people home was a common occurrence for her...
Didn't she take a daughter, Bai Yuman, home?
What harm is there in having another younger sister?
Yu Yixin was properly buried next to her parents. Although Director Zhao was very helpful afterward, he was still sent to the police station by Bai Yisha.
I heard that Director Zhao's actions were heinous; he colluded with troublemakers to traffic and kill many women, and was sentenced to death.
The traffickers were all arrested and sentenced to ten years, while the buyers were sentenced to three years.
In just one day, more than half of the people in this village were emptied out.
Before leaving, Bai Yisha looked at the winding mountain road and felt a pang of regret.
Human trafficking may still exist in underdeveloped villages, and she can only do what little she can to save lives.
After much deliberation, she spent billions of dollars of her own money to have the harmful mountain leveled and new flat land and houses built.
They eventually returned to Beijing by helicopter.
Because Bai Yisha was sleep-deprived, she relaxed and fell asleep in Cheng Wangxun's arms.
Where did Bai Hualin and Ren Wenqi go?
They were originally going up the mountain with Director Zhao's men, but they were mistaken for villagers and detained. Later, they were taken to the police station. After finally explaining themselves, they were released and returned to the village, but Bai Yisha and the others had already taken a helicopter back.
Cheng Wangxun, this competitive little man, wouldn't let go of Bai Yisha after he got her. Since Bai Yisha was asleep, the others didn't try to take her anymore.
Xi Yanchen and Chi Liche were in the same helicopter, and he wondered if Chi Liche had gone mad.
Shortly after boarding the helicopter, he started banging his head against the window, muttering repeatedly, "Am I crazy?" "Why am I meddling in other people's business?" "Am I sick?!"
Things like that.
After landing, Cheng Wangxun carried Bai Yisha back to the villa, intending to give her a bath, but was stopped by Lu Jingyan and He Zhizhou.
of course.
Song Yumi, Lu Mingxing, and Xi Yanchen followed closely behind.
