Chapter 10 Protecting Our Kidneys (9)
Six months later.
Bai Xi stood by the window of the simple room, her face pale. A gentle breeze blew her hair, revealing her clearly visible collarbone.
Lying on the bed is Bai Zhijian, who is paralyzed.
His lips were cracked, and he tremblingly raised his bony hand, calling out with difficulty, "Water..."
Her fair skin trembled as she impatiently bit her lip, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Xiaoxi, Daddy wants some water..."
Bai Xi suddenly turned around, walked to the hospital bedside, and shouted fiercely, "Look at the kind of life I'm living now! What can you do for me all day long besides being a burden?"
"Xiao Xi..."
"Why don't you just die like my mother did, and end it all!" Bai Xi said, then burst into tears, feeling wronged. "I barely survived, and I need someone to take care of me, let alone you. Do you know how tired I've been these past six months?"
Bai Zhijian looked at his daughter apologetically. He also wanted to die, but he couldn't swallow his anger.
"Dad, we're broke. We've lost the house and the car. You haven't left me anything. Do you want me to be in debt?" Bai Xi looked at Bai Zhijian meaningfully.
"Xiao Xi..."
Bai Zhijian also shed tears; he understood without needing to say more.
In his current wretched state, he's nothing but a pale, burdensome figure; he'd be better off dead.
Bai Xi wiped away her tears, got up and walked out of the room. When she opened the door, she looked back and then closed it.
Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar back, Bai Zhijian felt utterly hopeless. It was true that there are no filial sons at the bedside of a long-term sick person; his most beloved daughter had abandoned him.
A few days later, when she returned, Bai Zhijian's body had already stiffened.
After the funeral, Bai Xi felt much more relaxed.
With her looks, as long as she takes good care of her health and dresses up nicely, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a man willing to support her.

Su Dingding lived a carefree life in a foreign land.
I go to bars every day and dance with handsome young men.
They spend money without restraint, prioritizing pleasure above all else.
Knowing that Bai Xi had started seeing men again, and that Li Wenyan had angered Li Jiandong to death and taken over the company, she finally decided to settle down and return to China.
These two are such a rare and wonderful match, how could they be separated?
My first day back in China.
YS Bar.
A woman with fair skin was flirting with a man dressed in designer clothes when she suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind.
She quickly went up to the other person and grabbed their arm, "Bai Xu!"
Su Dingding turned her head, also overjoyed, "Bai Xi, the girl who stole my boyfriend, slept with him, and then got dumped, doesn't want to work properly, and only wants to find a man to support her, let me see your new sucker!"
"Bai Xu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Xi glanced at the man behind her and raised her hand to hit Su Dingding.
Now she no longer wanted to pretend to be kind and gentle. Thinking of the suffering she had endured, she only wanted to beat the woman in front of her to death!
Unfortunately, Su Dingding grabbed her wrist and then slapped her twice.
"Sister, why did you hit me?"
Bai Xi covered her face, even though she was the one who got hit!
"Little sister, I didn't even blame you for stealing my boyfriend, but you actually tried to hit me?"
Su Dingding cried first as a sign of respect, and the people around immediately started talking.
"I've broken up with that bastard Li Wenyan!" Bai Xi roared angrily.
Su Dingding slapped Bai Xi twice more, looking aggrieved. "You stole my boyfriend, and you couldn't keep him yourself, so why blame me?"
Her pale lips trembled. When did she say she blamed her?
"Bai Xu, are you crazy?!"
Upon hearing these three words, Su Dingding immediately covered her head and let out a painful scream.
"You're the one who's crazy, your whole family is crazy!"
Suddenly, someone recognized her.
"Isn't this the spirited young lady who refused to pay at the supermarket?"
"That's right, so this is the woman who slept with my brother-in-law's sister..."
Seeing the disdainful looks from those around her, Bai Xi felt guilty and backed away.
"It wasn't me, I didn't..."
"How shameless! There are no men left in the world, yet she insists on fighting with my sister, driving her to the brink of insanity, and she's still swaggering around like this!"
"Exactly, she's a shameless woman with no bottom line. No wonder the man dumped her after he was done with her."
"Who would want to marry a woman like that, only to be cuckolded?"
Bai Xi shook her head frantically, "What nonsense are you talking about? They're not married yet. Li Wenyan and I just like each other and can't help ourselves. What's wrong with that?"
Her remarks drew even more criticism, with many people tearing her apart.
"Shamelessness truly knows no bounds!"
"This is what they call using any means to climb the social ladder; the mistress is even so arrogant."
"Are you unable to control your emotions or your body? I think you're just too slutty!"
Bai Xi angrily grabbed a bottle of wine from a passing waiter's tray and smashed it on the ground. "I've already broken up with Li Wenyan, why are you all still gossiping here?"
The waiter angrily grabbed Bai Xi, "Miss, you just spilled Mr. Zhao's wine, please compensate us!"
Bai Xi shook off the waiter's hand and let out a cold laugh, "It's just a bottle of cheap wine, how much is it? I'll pay you."
"One hundred thousand yuan."
"One hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob someone!" Bai Xi was terrified; she couldn't come up with that much money.
"That's an 1982 Lafite that our General Manager Zhao specially treasured to entertain important guests. It's indeed worth 100,000."
People around her started laughing and pointing, telling her to pay compensation.
Her fair face flushed red; she had no money.
Just then, a man's voice suddenly shouted, "Which blind fool broke my wine?"
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Xi raised her head. It was a greasy, middle-aged fat man, with Li Wenyan following behind her!
When Li Wenyan saw her, he acted as if he had seen a plague god and turned to run away.
"Li Wenyan, you stop right there!" Bai Xi rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed his arm.
"We've already broken up, get the hell away from me, I hate just looking at you." Li Wenyan wanted to shake Bai Xi off in disgust.
Bai Xi held onto him tightly, refusing to let go. "Li Wenyan, you just say you want to break up, but why?"
The crowd of onlookers immediately became excited again.
Li Wenyan's face darkened further upon hearing those unpleasant comments.
He glanced at the greasy middle-aged man beside him, "Mr. Zhao, this woman is yours to have as you please!"
Mr. Zhao immediately understood and grinned lewdly, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, she smashed my bottle of Lafite worth 100,000 yuan, I'll definitely get my revenge."
"Li Wenyan, you can't do this to me!" Bai Xi struggled to break free from President Zhao's clutches and shouted, "Bai Xu is here too, shouldn't you be taking revenge on her?"
"White fluff?" Li Wenyan was instantly filled with hatred.
He had been sending people to search for Bai Xu, but there was still no news, and he thought she had died outside.
Unfortunately, Su Dingding had already quietly left.
Unable to find anyone, Bai Xi could only cling to Li Wenyan's arm in a fawning manner, "Brother Wenyan, I have many new tricks up my sleeve, are you sure you don't want to try them?"
Li Wenyan frowned. The reason he slept with Bai Xi was because she was sexy enough.
He even considered marrying her, since it would be a mutually beneficial arrangement, and it wouldn't interfere with his outings.
But now, he's lost interest in fair skin.
"Honey, Mr. Zhao has more tricks up his sleeve than you do, so play along with him!"
