After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

"Boss lady, I...I didn't mean to lie to you, do you believe me?"

Lin Ying nodded and responded without hesitation.

"I believe you, just as you have always believed in me. I know you treat me better than anyone else because you are so warm, warming my whole world. You are the one who led me hand in hand as we walked out of the darkness to see this world. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"

Bai Yu covered her eyes with her hands and clenched her teeth tightly, but tears still flowed uncontrollably.

It's not that he likes to cry, nor that he's fragile; it's just that the carefree person from his previous life is dead. Having a heart, lungs, kindness, and gentleness truly makes a difference.

If there is one person in the world who unconditionally believes in you, it must be Lin Ying. She is the one who is firmly willing to stand behind you and protect you forever. No matter how far you go, you will always see her standing there waiting for you.

"Boss lady, I... haha, I think you're so cute when you talk, hahaha~"

She opened her mouth to smile, but Bai Yu's tears flowed down her cheeks and into her mouth, carrying a slightly bitter and salty taste.

Seeing Bai Yu covering her eyes and laughing while crying, Lin Ying felt very sad.

But at this moment, she didn't say a word. She just silently sat with him, her eyes reddening, and shedding tears with him.

The left eye has never seen the right eye, so it doesn't know how to comfort it; it can only cry along with it.

Bai Yu put his hand down, looking down on himself for crying so easily. But after putting his hand down, he found that Lin Ying, who was standing in front of him, was crying even harder than he was.

If Bai Yu's tears were tears she couldn't hold back, then Lin Ying was completely like a heartbroken person, with tears streaming down her face.

"Boss lady, why are you crying?"

Bai Yu has said this sentence countless times, but every time she opens her mouth, it always starts with the same phrase.

Lin Ying did not answer him, but instead used sign language to express something that Bai Yu could not quite understand.

“It’s okay. The sun sometimes sets, but there are lights in the mountains at night after the sun sets. I know that with you by my side, the world isn’t so bad.”

Bai Yu can translate sign language, but after not using it for a long time, she has forgotten some of the translations.

But he could still understand the general meaning, and after understanding it, he smiled.

"Boss lady, I told you the world isn't that bad, right?"

Lin Ying nodded, not denying his words.

"I'm going to the capital at midnight to see Su Rongxue. You..."

Lin Ying reached out and covered Bai Yu's lips, not letting Bai Yu continue speaking. Instead, she nodded in response.

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you at home."

This sentence is very simple, but it had an exceptionally huge impact on Bai Yu.

Being understood is a wonderful thing. It's like when you think you're the only one hiding in the dark, and someone comes to you with a lamp and says, "May I sit next to you?"

If Bai Yu is Lin Ying's sun, then Lin Ying is the one who carries the lantern in his darkness.

They are each other's light of salvation.

Chapter 106 Arrival in the Capital

Midnight

Bai Yu set off at 10:00 AM after getting ready with Lin Ying's help. She arrived at the airport at 11:30 AM and waited there for a while before boarding.

Sitting on the plane, feeling the suspension as the fuselage starts to move, I turned my head to look at the night view outside the window. The northern city at night had already lost its usual bright lights and bustling atmosphere, with only streetlights and a few cars slowly gliding by with their lights on.

This was his first time taking a flight in the early morning; he had never imagined that the northern part of the city could be so quiet at night.

Close your eyes. This journey will take about five hours to reach the capital, and it will take even longer to get to the hospital where Su Rongxue is. So it's best to rest first.

But after closing her eyes, Bai Yu was not sleepy at all. Instead, she felt a pang of anxiety about Su Rongxue's safety.

If something really happens to this girl, how should I react if I go there?

Bai Yu went through all the worst possible outcomes in her mind, including the possibility that the girl might have just been malnourished from not eating, leading to physical weakness, and that she had no choice but to be admitted to the hospital.

But human imagination is always just imagination; everyone knows that such specific situations are just wishful thinking.

With her eyes closed, Bai Yu thought for a very long time, even considering the future of herself and the five women, including joys and sorrows, separations and reunions.

He even considered who he should marry first if the five women stopped rejecting each other by then.

Bigamy is definitely illegal in China; it's a crime. Bai Yu was well aware of this and wouldn't even consider taking the risk. It would be crazy to risk something so hard-won as to have a stable life.

But having always hung out with the five women, his horizons have broadened considerably. Gradually, he realized that it's quite normal for many wealthy men to have several wives; it's possible that they have one wife on the surface but several others in secret.

Of course, Bai Yu could not use such behavior on the five women. None of them would allow him to do such a thing.

Besides this method, the solution he came up with was for each person to get a certificate once, so that the last person to get one could keep the certificate indefinitely, and any future children would be born after the marriage, making arrangements easier.

The idea was certainly appealing, but Bai Yu herself wasn't very confident about whether she could actually reach that level.

If all five women were normal people, there might still be a chance, because normal people are easier to communicate with and wouldn't be so stubborn. But the problem is they aren't, so he has to think of many, many ways to reconcile them.

Time passed second by second, and by the time Bai Yu felt the plane begin its descent and the flight attendant started to remind her, it was already 5:43 a.m.

Looking at the time displayed on my phone, I waited for him to get off the plane with his things, and as soon as I turned off airplane mode, I received several missed calls.

All the calls that came through were from Su Rongxue, or rather, her mother dialing from her phone.

Bai Yu opened the missed call and dialed it directly, anxiously walking out of the airport while making the call.

The call was answered shortly after it was dialed, followed by Raoul Elie's anxious voice.

"Bai Yu, have you arrived yet?"

"Auntie, I've arrived at the Capital Airport. Where are you? Should I take a taxi directly here, or...?"

"No need, no need. Someone will pick you up at the airport. Xiaoxue has been hospitalized for a day. Apart from receiving IV drips, she won't take her medicine or eat anything. I..."

Hearing Roel Ellie's slightly choked voice on the phone, Bai Yu felt a strange sense of guilt welling up inside her, as it was the first time she had heard such a successful, noble, and refined woman cry.

Even though he didn't think it was his problem, he still felt like it was, which was very strange.

"I'll be right there, Auntie. Tell Xiaoxue to wait for me, I'll be there shortly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yu took a step and wanted to run, but although there weren't many people in the airport at this time, running was still not allowed, and the same applied to going through security.

After he walked out of the airport, someone did indeed come to pick him up. It was a woman with long, straight black hair wearing black-rimmed glasses. She was quite charming, but her expression was unusually serious. She wore a gray suit skirt and a pair of black high heels, and you could tell at a glance that she was a typical working woman.

"Mr. Bai Yu, my boss asked me to come here to pick you up. This way, please."

After saying that, the woman spread her hands, gesturing for Bai Yu to walk forward, and then she led the way.

Without saying much, Bai Yu followed behind her. There weren't many people at the airport in the early morning, and only a few scattered people in the square outside the airport, which made the sound of the woman's high heels particularly clear.

After following the woman for about three minutes, we turned a corner in the square and saw a black Maybach parked on the side of the road.

The woman quickly stepped forward, opened the back door for Bai Yu, bent slightly, and respectfully covered the door frame with her hand, saying...

"Mr. Bai Yu, please get in the car and watch your head."

Although Bai Yu wasn't used to being treated with such deference, seeing Su Rongxue was the most important thing for her right now, so she didn't say anything to the woman and got into the car on her own.

After seeing Bai Yu get into the car, the woman followed and sat in the back seat.

As the car started, Bai Yu had no idea where he was being taken, but he didn't think about it much; all he could think about was Su Rongxue's safety.

After driving for about half an hour, he frowned when he realized that the Maybach had entered a villa area.

But Bai Yu didn't ask why they weren't going to the hospital like a normal person would; instead, she just sat there quietly watching.

He didn't believe that Raoul Allie would lie to him, after all, Raoul Allie's sadness was so infectious, unless she was really good at acting.

When the car came to a complete stop in front of a huge three-story villa, Bai Yu couldn't help but ask a question.

"Didn't Auntie say Xiaoxue was in the hospital? Why did you bring me here?"

Hearing Bai Yu's somewhat anxious and puzzled question, the woman quickly offered an explanation.

“Mr. Bai Yu, Miss was indeed in the hospital during the day, but she went home with a private doctor at night. You’ll know the specifics if you go and see for yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu nodded and quickly opened the door and got out of the car. However, since he had never been to Su Rongxue's home in the capital before, he had no idea how to get there and could only let the woman lead the way.

Chapter 107 I Really Want To

"Mr. Bai Yu, please come this way."

Pushing open the iron gate of the villa's courtyard, the woman gestured for Bai Yu to follow her before stepping inside first.

Although she was a little unsure why she had come to this villa estate to see Su Rongxue, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before following the woman around the garden outside the villa. After arriving at the main gate downstairs, she gently pushed open the door.

"Mr. Bai Yu, please."

Following the woman's footsteps, Bai Yu was not a stranger to the villa, but his first impression upon entering was its size, and his second impression was its luxury.

Putting everything else aside, the European-style furniture and design alone give it the feel of being inside a castle.

Besides that, Bai Yu discovered that this girl's three-story villa, like Murong Liyue's, also had a private elevator, which was quite luxurious.

It was at this moment that Bai Yu truly understood why Su Rongxue would often softly and weakly say in that healing voice that she would take care of him. Damn, this huge villa in the capital was enough to support him for several lifetimes.

Following the woman into the elevator, Bai Yu arrived at the third floor. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw a corridor two or three meters wide with several rooms on both sides. One of the rooms was open, and faint sounds could be heard coming from inside from time to time.

"Mr. Bai Yu, Miss and our boss are in the room over there with the door open. I can only take you this far."

After giving a slight bow, the woman didn't wait for Bai Yu to turn around and properly thank her before turning around and entering the elevator to go downstairs.

Seeing that the woman told him to go alone and didn't intend to escort him any further, Bai Yu had no choice but to go alone as well.

He tiptoed to the open door, and as he got closer, he could hear sounds coming from inside.

"Qingyun, Xiaoxue isn't eating or drinking, what should I do? I'm so scared, can you hug me? Waaaaah~"

"Um...Ms. Roel Ellie, the young lady's mental problems, although I'm not sure of the exact cause, are most likely related to Bai Yu, whom she keeps talking about. How long do you think it will be before he arrives?"

"It'll be soon, very soon."

.......

Listening to the conversation inside, Bai Yu took a deep breath and stepped inside. Her eyes quickly scanned the room's decorations and Su Rongxue, who was on the bed with an IV drip, and her heart skipped a beat.

When he entered the villa, he had thought of many bad things. After all, it was said that it would be in the hospital, but what he saw now was obviously not the conspiracy he had imagined, but a real accident.

"Auntie, what's wrong with Xiaoxue?"

Bai Yu's sudden entrance and her slightly anxious words startled the doctor in the white coat standing next to Luo Er Ai Li.

She was a middle-aged or elderly woman, wearing a white coat. Her hair was starting to turn gray, but her face looked kind and approachable, giving off a friendly vibe.

At this moment, Raoul Aili was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, her back to Bai Yu, clutching the box containing her husband's ashes tightly in her hands. When she turned her head to look at Bai Yu, her light red eyes clearly showed that she had just been crying.
