Chapter 162 It's Impossible Between You and Bai Wei
Chapter 162 It's Impossible Between You and Bai Wei
At this very moment, the Bai family members sat together, the atmosphere somewhat somber.
A hint of worry and unease was visible on everyone's face; they seemed to be discussing something important.
Bai Chuhua suddenly stood up, his action drawing everyone's attention.
His expression was very serious, with his brows furrowed, which made people feel a sense of pressure.
“Now that Weiwei is in Fu Shiyue’s hands, this may pose some obstacles to our plans.” Bai Chuhua’s voice was low and firm, revealing a sense of worry. “I’m worried that he will use Weiwei to restrain us and put us in a passive position.”
His words were like a bombshell, causing a stir among the crowd.
People began to whisper and discuss among themselves, clearly agreeing with Bai Chuhua's point of view.
At this moment, Bai Chuhua's cousin, Bai Zhenguo, slowly spoke up: "Chuhua, don't panic. The Fu family harmed our Bai family so much back then, and we can't let them get away with it now. If the Fu family wants to threaten us with Weiwei, we can turn the tables on them."
Bai Chuhua nodded slightly, his eyes gradually hardening: "Cousin, you're right. But we need to devise a plan as soon as possible, so we can't let Fu Shiyue gain the upper hand."
Everyone agreed and began to discuss it animatedly.
Back then, Bai Chuhua ran a small jewelry pawnshop. Although the shop was small, the business was decent.
He raised his two children, Bai Wei and Bai Yu, on his own. Although life was ordinary, it was fulfilling, and the family lived happily together.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him at this time. The Fu family suddenly stepped forward and accused him of commercial fraud and misappropriating their products for sale.
This accusation came as a bolt from the blue, catching Bai Chuhua completely off guard.
Overnight, his life changed dramatically. Not only was his pawnshop shut down, but he also incurred huge debts.
Faced with this sudden predicament, Bai Chuhua felt utterly desperate.
But in order to protect his children, he had to take the young Bai Wei and Bai Yu and hide everywhere, fearing that the creditors would come knocking on their door.
Moreover, their lives became extremely difficult during this process, often leaving them homeless and hungry.
To make matters worse, Bai Chuhua's relatives were also implicated because of his affair. Some relatives avoided him, while others severed ties with him altogether.
This made Bai Chuhua feel deeply guilty and helpless. He felt that he had dragged down the people around him, but he was powerless to change the situation.
However, it was precisely because of this that, during one of his attempts to beg for food, he carelessly caused Bai Wei to get separated from him.
That year, Bai Wei was only 8 years old.
It was precisely because of this separation that he was caught up in a search that lasted for several years.
Throughout those long years, he searched everywhere, leaving no possible clue unexplored.
He traversed bustling cities and desolate villages, leaving his weary figure in every corner.
Time flies by like flowing water, and his face is gradually eroded by the years during this long search.
His once youthful face is now etched with deep wrinkles, a testament to the vicissitudes of life he has endured.
"I will definitely seek justice for the humiliation of that year and make Fu Wenyuan and Fu Shiyue, those two despicable and shameless father and son, pay the price!"
After he finished speaking, he sat down and turned to look at Bai Yu beside him.
He just sat there quietly, listening to what they had to say and think.
He seemed completely out of place.
"Don't have any thoughts about Weiwei lately. She's your sister, and she always will be. There's no possibility between you two. I hope you'll always remember that..."
Bai Yu and Bai Chuhua are not related by blood; he is actually Bai Chuhua's adopted son.
Bai Chuhua and his wife had always longed to have a child, but despite their long efforts, they were unable to fulfill their wish.
Ultimately, they decided to adopt a child from the orphanage, and the child they chose was Bai Yu, who was only 10 years old.
However, unexpectedly, after adopting Bai Yu, Bai Chuhua's wife became pregnant.
This unexpected good news filled them with joy, but it also put them in a dilemma.
Not long after, Bai Chuhua's wife gave birth to a daughter, named Bai Wei.
Unfortunately, during childbirth, Bai Chuhua's wife suffered a difficult labor and ultimately passed away, leaving behind their biological daughter, Bai Wei.
Nevertheless, Bai Chuhua did not abandon her gratitude for Bai Yu's upbringing.
He always treated Bai Yu like his own son, giving him endless love and care.
He felt genuine joy at the arrival of his little sister. The arrival of this little life seemed to bring endless sunshine and warmth to his world.
His affection for his younger sister was palpable; he always felt an irresistible urge to be close to her and cherish her. He often gazed silently at her adorable little face, his heart filled with tenderness and love.
However, there is no blood relation between Bai Wei and him, which is an unchangeable fact.
But deep down, Bai Yu didn't care about that.
He believes that family ties are not only determined by blood relations, but more importantly by the emotional bonds between people.
As time went by and Bai Yu grew up, he began to think about the future. He often wondered if, when he grew up, he would be able to keep Bai Wei by his side forever.
He recalled the deep affection his father had for his mother—a selfless and unwavering love. He longed to be like his father, giving his younger sister, Bai Wei, endless care and protection.
Thus, this thought grew stronger in Bai Yu's mind.
He secretly resolved to work hard and become more outstanding so that he would be able to protect and take care of his younger sister, Bai Wei.
Unfortunately, it was at that time that Bai Wei got separated from them and was never heard from again.
Despite their best efforts to search everywhere, Bai Chuhua and I were unable to find any trace of her...
This thought kept lingering in my mind, and I couldn't shake it off.
It wasn't until three years after Bai Wei's disappearance that Bai Chuhua accidentally discovered the letter he had written to her.
The words in the letter unreservedly express his uncontrollable love and deep longing for Bai Wei.
When Bai Chuhua read these letters...
His face turned extremely grim, and he angrily rebuked:
"She's your sister! How could you have such thoughts about her? This is absurd, this is incest!"
"She and I aren't related by blood? How is that incest?!"
Bai Chuhua was so angry that she slapped him again: "Even if there is no blood relation, she is your sister in this family! You must give up this idea."
Bai Yu gritted his teeth, but still stubbornly said, "She's not my biological sister, and you can't decide my feelings for her!"
Coming back to his senses, his gaze became deep and calm, no longer filled with the impulsiveness and impatience of before. Time seemed to have left its mark on him, making him more mature and composed.
He gently pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight, as if witnessing his growth.
Then, in a calm and firm tone, he said, "At this time, Dad should understand what is more important, instead of questioning me at this critical juncture."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. After saying this, he paused slightly, as if giving the other person some time to think.
He continued, "Rescuing Weiwei is of utmost urgency; we cannot afford to delay. Only by dealing a heavy blow to the Fu family and making them realize the seriousness of the problem can we possibly rescue Bai Wei."
At this moment, Bai Zhenguo, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "The most urgent task is to deal with the Fu family. Bai Yu, you have the most ideas, so please come up with some suggestions."
Bai Yu's eyes were deep: "Start with what you care about most."
He hit the nail on the head.
The group began discussing countermeasures again. Some suggested infiltrating the Fu family to rescue Bai Wei, while others said they could use the Fu family's enemies to restrain them.
Bai Chuhua listened carefully, his eyes gradually sharpening: "We'll take a two-pronged approach. On one hand, we'll send people to the vicinity of the Fu family to scout out the situation and look for an opportunity to rescue them; on the other hand, we'll contact the Fu family's competitors to put pressure on them."
Everyone expressed their agreement.
Just as the Bai family was busily discussing countermeasures,
Meanwhile, at the Fu family residence, Fu Shiyue was sitting in his study, looking at Bai Wei's information.
The secretary held the documents aside.
"President Fu, this Bai Wei is a pitiful woman. She was separated from her father when she was 8 years old, and no one knows what happened to her after that. Bai Chuhua and Bai Yu have been looking for her whereabouts until recently, when they finally found her. She is the former young...madam."
As he was talking, he mentioned Ye Xingran and thought of her. They had held a wedding ceremony, so she should be considered his wife, right?
Fu Shiyue's gaze immediately fell upon him, but he remained silent.
This indicates the default.
"What about Bai Chuhua and Bai Yu before?"
The secretary continued, "This Bai Yu is not Bai Chuhua's biological son, but his adopted son. Bai Chuhua and his wife adopted him before, but Bai Chuhua's wife died in childbirth due to complications. After that, the three of them lived together."
"Then what were the results of my investigation into Ye Xingran's past life?"
The two seem to be closely connected…
"When Ye Xingran entered Yunmeng, everything before that was a blank. According to the information that President Shen received, Lu Fei found her on the street and took her away because she was homeless."
Upon hearing the secretary's reply, he couldn't help but sneer; "Lu Fei really dares to pick up just anyone, isn't he afraid of raising a sheep or a wolf, or whether it will turn around and bite him?"
"Keep an eye on Bai Chuhua's side and tell me immediately if anything seems amiss."
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
"What do you mean? Are you planning to trap me in this room for the rest of my life and never let me out?"
Bai Wei's voice came from the other room. Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyue walked from his study toward her.
"what happened?"
Bai Wei saw him approaching and broke free from his grasp. "What do you mean by this? Are you imprisoning me?"
