âWhat are you talking about?â Chai Moonâs body shuddered at the accusation. Sheâs very much afraid and tries to hide it with that forced smile, âI really donât understand what you mean, what pill? I donât know...â
Not buying it at all, Bai Yan snickers a laugh in retort: âThose Dan pills were refined by me so donât try to play me. I originally wanted to give it to my grandfather as a surprise birthday gift back then, but that didnât happen because of what transpired with the Bai Clan. I worried for Yi Yiâs wellbeing so I left it all to her after I left.â
Alchemic Dan pills are good stuff all around, but if ones too greedy and consumes too much at once then the effects would undoubtedly come back to bite one in the ass by making them have an unstable foundation. This important bit was obviously related to Bai Yi Yi prior to Bai Yanâs departure back then, therefore sheâs not worried about her foster sister consuming all the pills at once. Furthermore, she could clearly tell how unstable Wen Fei Feiâs strength was in her earlier attack, thus reaffirming her suspicion.
âBrother Shan.â Chai Moon didnât confront the girl and instead turns to her own husband for help using that tearful face. âI only wanted to do whatâs right as Yanâerâs stepmother by keeping her things safe, I didnât think I would be taken as a thief...â
The womanâs act was truly award winning. As she cried to play her role, Chai Moon actually evolved into a sad sobbing laugh like someone thatâs spelling their emotions from the heart: âIf I really wanted to connive after riches then I wouldâve taken your money back then, why did I not take a cent? I would rather raise Fei Fei on my own than to take otherâs money! You have to believe me Brother Shan, Iâve been with you for so long, how could I have kept something so valuable hidden from your eyes?â
âI know Yanâer blames me for being with you. I know it, and Iâm willing to leave if she wishes of me, but I canât accept being called a thief after trying so hard to do the right thing!â
After spouting all that, Chai Moon immediately began to head towards the doorway to leave with her daughter in tow. Her pace was firm and unquestionable based on how decisive they were. As a result of this picture, Wen Shan the coward promptly got all guilt in the face for being so indecisive.
âWait Moonâer, the ones who need to go isnât you or our daughter.â Cold in his voice, the man speaks with a stern voice like heâs made up his mind.
Halting in her steps right after the sentence, Chai Moon swings around like a hopeful woman waiting for her man to whisk herself off the ground like a princess being taken by a prince.
âYanâer,â Wen Shan puts on a disappointed face at his own daughter, âI donât know why you are so adamant about accepting them, but I must tell you your stepmother is not what you think. Back in the beginning after I made the mistake, I immediately wanted to make it up to her by offering two million dollars as compensation. Yet do you know; she refused the money...â
âWhatâs more... how could I not be aware of your ability in alchemy back then? I wouldâve surely known if thatâs the case, but I didnât. Even if you want to frame her, you should at the very least find a better excuse. Iâm very disappointed in you.â
Those words were coming straight from the manâs heart. Heâs honestly unable to comprehend why Bai Yan would turn out so vicious in his view compared to the lovely and well-behaved daughter from his memory.
Who exactly taught her into this after ten years away from home?
Bai Yan coldly glared back at this coward: âYou better keep your mouth shut in front of me! Or else.... I donât mind removing you!â
This time sheâs not kidding, she really would remove him from the picture if he doesnât close that mouth of his. However, the threat only made Wen Shan even more furious.
âWen Yan! Iâm your father, how dare you talk to me like that?â
