Truth was Wen Fei Fei lied. When the foul wench went to the hotel and made a fuss inside the room, Bai Yi Yi in fact didn’t retort or mock her at all. The other girl merely spouted the truth and refused the request before slamming the door in Wen Fei Fei’s face. But Wen Shan doesn’t need to know that does he? All this man needs to know was his daughter got humiliated somewhere outside, that’s all.

  “Their mouth belongs to them, let them say whatever they like. As long as I know your ma and you aren’t bad people then that’s all it matters. Also, Fei Fei, you can’t vent your anger at a child regardless of your emotions. Do you know what your actions have caused to our family? The Wen Clan have become a laughing stock among our peers right now. I will not permit another repeat of today’s incident, understand?”


  If he hadn’t been drunk that year then Chai Moon wouldn’t have gotten pregnant. In the end it’s his fault and he know it. Well, on the surface level anyways……

  “Pa,” Wen Fei Fei sobs some more as he met her old man’s gaze, “I understand, I will never do it again.”


  “Alright, I will go handle the aftermath, you two rest while I go find your grandfather to discuss the matter. Starting today, no one in this household is allowed to go out.”


  “Okay.” The girl didn’t argue, only behaving like a good obedient daughter. However, this wasn’t enough to completely reassure the wary man here.

  Downstair in the living room.

  “Wife, you keep an eye on Fei Fei for the coming days, I still don’t feel comfortable if there’s no one watching her.” Raising a hand to pause the lady from interrupting after catching that moving mouth, Wen Shan wants to finish his sentence first, “I know what you want to say, but that Bai Yi Yi is a heartless wolf, there’s no way she would help us get the antidote.”


  “Then how……” Chai Moon still appeared worried in the face, “I understand. Don’t worry, I will be sure to keep an eye on Fei Fei. I won’t let her take a step outside our home.”


  Pleased by the answer, Wen Shan nods and said nothing more before heading out the door……

  The military housing district.

  Inside the second floor of the Ling household’s estate, Bai Yan casually places the paint brush in her hand away after drawing a portrait of her boy.

  “Cousin, when did you learn to paint like that? Nowadays everyone only does it on a notepad or laptop, is it Aunt Yu who taught you?” Ling Lang was flabbergasted and surprised by how skilled Bai Yan was at the old art.

  With a faint smile on her lips, she hands the painting to Ling Lang without elaborating: “Don’t be nosy. Here, this is my son’s portrait, he is called Bai Xiachen. Hurry and go help me locate his whereabout.”


  Taking it like a little dunt that he was, the handsome man was immediately taken aback by how lovely the little boy was in the picture. On top of that, he recognized that face!

  “Cousin……” Coughing to clear his throat, “Do you ever go on the web?”


  “Web?” It’s Bai Yan’s turn to be bewildered, “What is that?”


  Now the guy’s got it. Ling Lang had his suspicion about his cousin being a hermit due to the nature of a martial clan’s usual behavior. Now the reply from Bai Yan merely confirms it.

  “Wait here, I’ll go get my phone and show you.”
