Free Web NovelChapter 1481: Chapter 437: Not Worth It
"The documents are almost ready, just sign here."
"..."
"Let me remind you, Miss Bai Yi... this breach of contract fee is beyond your imagination, you’ll have to cough up everything from your past..."
"..."
"More importantly, with your actions, it’s unlikely you can find a place in the industry anymore... Your academic performance is average, choosing this, and your future life will..."
Listening to William’s reminder, Bai Yi’s dim star eyes slightly trembled.
But before she could speak, the secretary behind William tapped her Bluetooth headset, listened for a few moments, and then reminded William,
"Ms. Zuo Jiangqin has received the message and is now causing a scene downstairs... Should I ask her to come up?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, William looked again at the drooping-headed, expressionlessly gloomy young girl in front of him.
She seemed to have nothing, and could only tightly hold the not-so-well-looking white cat.
After a few seconds of silence, he smiled helplessly,
"Well, maybe long before you came here, your life was already a mess... Do you want to see your mother?"
"No need, Mr. William. Please just hand her this letter and explain the situation to her..."
"...Alright."
After such a plain reply, Bai Yi silently stood up and slowly turned to leave.
"Clack～"
Holding the pocket watch, she walked to the door but did not leave, hesitating for a few seconds, she silently leaned against the wall, moved the hand on the pocket watch, and activated the indifference.
"Tick...tock..."
She instantly entered an unnoticeable state, unmoving in her spot.
In her arms, the heavily scarred Yan Ye faded into unconsciousness, causing Bai Yi to feel quite heartbroken.
She kept her head down, stroking Yan Ye, the only little cat she had at the moment, until the anxious Zuo Jiangqin passed by her without noticing and entered the room.
"Clack～"
The door closed, but the voices of conversation remained clearly audible inside.
"What exactly is happening, Mr. William?!"
"Just as we informed you over the phone..."
"Of course, I know! But terminating the contract... how could that be possible?! Yiyi, what if she was deceived, after all, she has been missing for so long... That can’t count, Mr. William!"
"...She came here in person. Also, this is what she left for you."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s dim star eyes slightly trembled.
Only she knew what she wrote inside.
Inside, there’s unequivocal expression of the meaning of severing ties with Zuo Jiangqin.
Even the reasons were spelled out clearly...
Additionally, everything she knew before was all written inside.
"Bai... Bai Yi!! Ahhhhh!!"
"Hey, hey, Ms. Zuo, what are you doing?!"
Unexpectedly for Bai Yi, her mother’s first reaction upon seeing the letter was not shock but anger.
"Bang!"
Soon, sounds of frantic smashing came from inside.
Followed by the startled voices of William and the secretary trying to stop it.
But the exposed Zuo Jiangqin completely lost control, going berserk inside.
"Hmph..."
Outside the door, Bai Yi, who activated indifference, remained expressionless and just sneered.
Actually, she knew why.
Over the years, since she was still underage, her account had always been managed by Zuo Jiangqin.
Those remunerations, except for some necessary living expenses, were all stored with Zuo Jiangqin.
If Zuo Jiangqin hadn’t spent them recklessly over the years, they should be sufficient to pay the breach of contract fees.
But if they were spent...
So now, that’s why she was acting so frantically, right?
"Thud!!"
"Security! Security!!"
The sounds of smashing inside became more exaggerated, and soon, even William and the others couldn’t take it anymore, clutching their heads, pushed the door open, and ran out.
Inside, various trophies and documents continued to fly out.
Seeing this, Bai Yi couldn’t help but feel sarcastic:
Herself...
Why did she stay to watch her go insane?
Perhaps she knew the reason.
She just wanted to understand why...
Why her mother treated her this way and treated her father like this. freewebnøvel.coɱ
If she didn’t like her father back then, disliked this and that about him, she shouldn’t have been with him...
If she didn’t like her at all, felt she was a burden, she shouldn’t have given birth to her...
But why...
Her father clearly left money for her, clearly gave up everything for her...
Why, yet nothing was left behind?
And why did she treat her this way?
"..."
Giving up any hope for her mother, Bai Yi’s gaze darkened further, almost covered completely in shadows, she planned to turn around and leave.
But at that moment, suddenly behind her came Zuo Jiangqin’s cries,
"Bai Letian!! You’re really a haunting spirit!! After all these years, you still want to come back and harm me?!
"You just resent me, don’t you?! Resent me for spending the money to meet Jiang Xiong?!"
"But do you think I regret it?! He’s much better than you!!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s body slightly stiffened.
She widened her eyes, dumbly turning her head to look behind.
And behind her, in the empty office, the betrayed Zuo Jiangqin was completely defeated, shouting inside,
"My only regret is being with you!! freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Regret being deceived by your compliancy, regret having children so early...
"I shouldn’t have been like this!!
"Do you know how much I regret it?!
"I should have been... should have been... ahhhh!! You bastard!!"
"Bang!!"
Outside the door, Bai Yi stood alone at the doorway, a single muddy tear slowly slid from the corner of her eye.
Until this moment, perhaps she truly understood the reason.
It’s simply because...
Regret.
Regret for being with Bai Letian instead of with a better man...
