"Dad, it’s not true, I miss you very much, I really do. The Bai Family has nothing left."
Ruoshu’s vulnerability burst out instantly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhengxian looked around.
Pressing against the glass, he whispered to Ruoshu, "Don’t worry, I prepared everything for you a long time ago. Your mom should have told you, right?"
Ruoshu, with tears in her eyes, stood there stunned.
It really was like this.
It turned out that both father and daughter had been played by Yang Jingwei.
Ruoshu raised her hand to the glass, choking up as she asked, "Dad, tell me, is the current Yang Jingwei really my mom?"
Bai Zhengxian paused, evidently not expecting Ruoshu to ask such a question.
"Ruoshu."
"Dad, I’m not doing well. The inheritance you left me was taken by mom under the pretext of reviving the Bai Family. She started her own company, and I married Gong Yao. Now I’m pregnant, and we’ve both been captured..."
Ruoshu stammered through explaining everything that had happened.
With a bang, Bai Zhengxian hit the glass with his clenched fist.
The guard behind him heard the sound and quickly stepped forward to restrain him.
"Calm down."
Bai Zhengxian, gritting his teeth, said, "How could she dare? Her very life is owed to me!"
Upon hearing this, Ruoshu already knew the answer in her heart.
She asked weakly, "She’s really not my mom?"
Bai Zhengxian saw things were going wrong and could only reveal the truth.
"Her name is Wei Xiaoyun, someone I rescued on a whim. After your mom committed suicide, I worried about the Bai Family and also worried about you being so young and having no one to care for you. She volunteered to take care of you, so I kept her around."
Ruoshu pressed her lips together and said, "Dad, do you think mom, after having survived once, would commit suicide again?"
Bai Zhengxian was taken aback.
Back then, he and the old master Bai were fully focused and extremely cautious about a kidnapping plan.
As a result, they overlooked Ruoshu’s mother.
Now that he had calmed down, Bai Zhengxian remembered something.
"After your mom was rescued, she refused to eat or drink. It was Wei Xiaoyun who suggested coaxing your mom, saying she was grateful for our life-saving grace. I agreed, thinking your mom needed someone with a similar experience to talk to."
"And the result?" Ruoshu asked.
"Your mom still died. While bathing, she submerged herself in water and drowned."
Bai Zhengxian closed his eyes, unwilling to recall the experience.
His feelings for Yang Jingwei were very deep.
But he had no choice.
Seeing Bai Zhengxian’s regret, Ruoshu quickly asked, "Dad, what was Wei Xiaoyun doing at that time?"
"She... she was the one who claimed your mom committed suicide." Bai Zhengxian’s eyes widened.
"It must have been her, she was at a dead end."
Ruoshu said this with a bitter laugh.
Bai Zhengxian frowned, "All these years, she’s been devoted and dutiful to you, only then did I trust her."
"It was all just her eye shielding technique, she wanted to gain your trust, but unfortunately, you and grandpa still guarded against her, so she could only firmly hold onto me, protecting me at all costs."
Ruoshu and her father exchanged glances.
They suddenly found it somewhat laughable.
They had both been fooled by this woman.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhengxian lowered his eyes, staring at her belly.
"Ruoshu, are you really pregnant?"
"Yes. I’m okay for now, but only for now." Ruoshu gave a bitter smile.
"Ruoshu, take good care of yourself. Since Wei Xiaoyun dared to treat you like this, I don’t need to show her any mercy."
"Dad, what do you mean by this?"
Ruoshu looked up, staring at Bai Zhengxian.
Bai Zhengxian said, "I have a way to prove Wei Xiaoyun’s identity, and some unexpected things. No matter what, she must keep you safe."
Feeling a glimpse of hope, Ruoshu bit her lip and nodded vigorously.
Bai Zhengxian gave some instructions.
