Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Don’t Change the Subject.

"Zhiyuan, can you come over for a second? I have a favor to ask," Bai Yue said as she took a phone call and poked her head into the small room to call out to An Zhiyuan.

Li Chunhua had been tired all day and had already collapsed onto the bed in the small room, resting for a while.

An Zhiyuan hurriedly agreed and came out, followed by Bai Xiao to the bar.

"Here’s the car key, it’s the van parked in front of our restaurant. Your brother-in-law is bringing his parents by train today too, and I reckon they’ll be here in an hour. Could you help me pick them up at the train station?" Bai Yue really had no extra hands to spare.

It was peak dining time, and the place was crowded with customers.

Initially, Wang Yan said there was no need for them to pick him up; he could just take his parents on the public bus.

But Bai Yue happened to see An Zhiyuan there, and since he was family, not a stranger, they all knew An Zhiyuan could drive as he often came to see Bai Xiao in his car.

That’s what led to this situation.

An Zhiyuan nodded, "Okay! Big sister, just leave it to me."

Once An Zhiyuan left, Bai Yue finally questioned Bai Xiao, "Weren’t you at work? How come you’re back and with our grandma? You little rascal, you didn’t even call to let me know you were back. And you’ve been gone for so long without sending a letter home, we were worried sick. All the stuff and letters we sent you got returned. I thought something had happened to you!"

She jabbed Bai Xiao’s forehead sharply.

Clutching her forehead, Bai Xiao murmured quietly, "Big sister, can’t you come up with something new? It’s always a jab to the forehead since I was a kid. Aren’t you afraid you’ll make me stupid?"

"You’re as wily as a monkey; how could I make you stupid?"

Bai Yue retorted irritably.

"How couldn’t you?"

Bai Xiao feigned agony, prompting Bai Yue to check her forehead quickly, only to find not even a mark, and knew her little sister was just playing up.

Annoyed, she gave a hard smack on Bai Xiao’s bottom.

"Stop changing the subject. What actually happened? Tell me.".

Bai Xiao recounted everything, and Bai Yue’s heart fluctuated with the narrative. Of course, Bai Xiao omitted the part about the battlefront; if her big sister knew she had been to such a frontline area, Bai Yue would probably be scared to death, with no telling how many tears she’d shed.

To save herself from drowning in those tears, Bai Xiao vowed not to breathe a word of this.

She only shared the news that she and An Zhiyuan were married and how their grandmother ended up at her wedding, including the surprise appearance of a man insisting on acknowledging her as his daughter.

To Bai Yue, these stories sounded like someone narrating a pingshu (Chinese story-telling performance).

It was all so disconnected.

Her sister had managed to get married in the time they hadn’t seen each other. Well, marriage was bound to happen eventually, especially since she and An Zhiyuan, no, now her brother-in-law, were set to marry sooner or later. Whether early or late, marriage was inevitable. Since the two of them worked together, being married would mean they could take care of each other more conveniently.

What infuriated her was that Shang Kaijie, the man who wanted to kill them, turned out to be Bai Xiao’s brother, which was just too melodramatic.

And whatever the reasons, to go to such extreme lengths to acknowledge his daughter, causing a commotion at his daughter’s wedding, and even getting her grandmother and uncle to testify was extreme.

Was this man really a father? He sounded more like an enemy.

What angered her more was that the uncle had betrayed them to such an extent, siding with an outsider to bully his own niece. It was fortunate that their grandmother’s disposition had changed significantly; otherwise, Bai Xiao might have suffered much more.
