“Xixi, I know you resent your father because of what happened back then. But grudges shouldn’t carry over to the next day between a father and daughter. Your father didn’t consider your feelings in those days, I apologize.”
Bai Changyou’s voice softened, “Do you remember when you first started elementary school? You only wanted dad’s car for pick-up and drop-offs. The company had just started then, so I had to drive you back to the office. You’d happily play there until evening when aunt would pick you up for dinner.”
Lu Weixi remained silent. She remembered, and that was also when she first met Cai Shijia. At that time, Cai Shijia had just started working as Bai Changyou’s secretary and was kind to her. She took extra care of Weixi while she was messing around at the office. Her mom even thanked her once. Aware of Weixi’s single mom’s hardship working outside, she increased her pay.
Seeing that she remained silent, at least not responding to him coldly, Bai Changyou was relieved. He then began to reminiscence again, “I remember on your tenth birthday, you wanted a specific Barbie doll dress that night. But it was a limited edition dress and it was snowing hard outside. Dad drove you around the city, visited countless stores just to get you that dress. Do you remember?”
The corners of Lu Weixi’s eyes softened. Of course, she remembered. Moreover, it was the same day when Cai Yiren first came to Bai’s Family. She glanced at Cai Yiren who was shivering from the cold and wearing old-fashioned clothes. With her small chin raised in contempt, she asked, “Who is this?”
Her mom gently stroked her head and said smiling, “This is your Aunt Cai’s daughter, Cai Yiren. She’ll be transferring to your school soon and will be your classmate. Remember not to bully her, play nicely with her, alright?”
Lu Weixi frowned, “She’s too old-fashioned, I don’t want to play with her.”
Cai Yiren didn’t say anything at the time, but when Weixi wanted juice, she washed her hands and poured a cup of it for her. She also stood by and tried to please her. Weixi blinked, finally accepted the juice, drank it at one go, and ordered the nanny, “Give her a cup of water.”
The young Lu Weixi had no idea that the woman, who seemed weaker and more submissive than her, would stab her in the back when she was most vulnerable.
“And then there was your twentieth birthday. The city had already banned fireworks by that time. But you wanted to see a grand firework display. Left with no choice, your father rented a hillside hotel just outside the city, invited all your friends over, and arranged a splendid firework show just for you. Do you remember?”
What Bai Changyou didn’t realize was, a few of the younger ones present changed their expressions slightly after hearing that.
Qin Zhiyou glanced at Lu Weixi, and Lu Weixi glared back at him in annoyance.
On the other hand, Cai Yiren looked at Qin Zhigu.
It was that one-time, the one occasion when she and Qin Zhiyou were alone together, that Qin Zhiyou boastfully told her “Your first kiss was mine,” and shamelessly carried on. After that, Qin Zhiyou even rudely threatened her not to have any intimate behavior with Qin Zhigu, otherwise, he would reveal what happened that night to him!
Cai Yiren also confessed to Qin Zhigu.
That night, originally just a sweet moment between her and Qin Zhigu, Qin Zhiyou and Cai Yiren unexpectedly got involved. Unknowingly, their relationships started to change..
