Chapter 1505 “His Daughter? (1)”
“I…” Her hands pulled into a clawing grip around those sleeves, indicating the lass didn’t like what she’s going to say, “I know I’ve brought shame to Shifu, I’m sorry… I’m sorry Sister Bai Yan.”
Bai Yi Yi understands that it’s a great fortune on her part to be taken as an apprentice by Bai Yan’s mother; therefore, it’s a great humiliation that she couldn’t protect the things left behind for herself.
“You don’t have to apologize to me!” Seeing how hurt and pained her own foster sister was acting, Bai Yan hurries to pull the lass into a hug to reassure her it’s alright, “The one who needs to apologize is me, it’s me…”
Back in the other world, Bai Yan had no choice but to leave Bai Xiao behind due to how urgent the matter was. While over here on Earth, leaving Bai Yi Yi behind was a deliberate and ignorant choice on her own part. That’s why the fault doesn’t lie with the lass but herself who didn’t think things through.
Then again, Bai Yan did have good reasons to not bring her foster sister along though. The woman wanted to grow strong, meaning the journey ahead at the time would be perilous and uncertain. Furthermore, she herself didn’t think her own father would be such a bastard to steal the inheritance from under his own deceased wife’s student! Just thinking about that idea infuriated Bai Yan to no end because it wasn’t meant for him!
“Once upon a time I disappointed a lot of people because I wanted to become strong,” loosening her hug, Bai Yan stares into her sister’s eye to get the point across, “but the heavens let me live again, let me understand affection and the value of family. The mistakes I made before. I won’t make it again.”
That’s saying it mildly… Technically its not the heavens, it’s the lightning bolts from that day striking her brains out and knocking her soul into another world. Guess that could even be called retribution for the mistakes on earth if it got down to the details.
“But enough about me, I want to know what’s happening here. That thug, who is he and why is he pestering you?” Bai Yan asks after noticing her own rambling.
Bowing her head again, Bai Yi Yi still had the dejected the look of a failure: “They are… it’s your stepsister, they were called here by your sister. They want me to go work in the nightclubs to act as a escort, I always refuse them…”
“My sister?” Bai Yan pricks her brow in confusion.
“Mhmm, your father and your stepmother’s daughter, and… she’s about the same age as you.” Bai Yi Yi timidly explains, not daring to look up.
Bai Yan felt like someone just punched her guts out in that split second. True, she’s heard of how flirtatious those wealthy heirs are on Earth are, but she always thought her own father was different based on the old memories they had together.
What love and being faithful? In the end he’s the same as everyone else, and also a coward that abandoned Mother in the last moments….
“Wait, hold on, you said she’s around my age. You don’t mean….” Bai Yan asks again, trying to make sure she’s not overthinking it and getting the wrong idea.
