The date of the competition was getting nearer day by day. Bailu’s heart was in a mess.
One day, her mother happened to tell her that she had learned how to make new clothes in the clothing factory and had even made a new dress for her. As such, Bailu could only force a smile and returned home.
Chen Li took the dress and gestured at her body. She said in a nostalgic manner, “I also bought a little white dress for you in the past. In the summer, when you wore it outside, even the most naughty little boy will like you and want to buy you popsicles.”
“In the past, when daddy was still around, he would bring you a big, cold watermelon…”
“When you were young, you liked to pick flowers and grass to smell their scent. When summer arrived, flowers and grass grew the most, and that was when you were the happiest…”
Her mother’s words brought back so many memories.
The summer sun was scorching hot, and the children playing on the crowded streets were drinking ice water to their heart’s content.
There was also the smell of ice cream, the fresh and sweet watermelons, and the fragrance of flowers brought by the hot wind.
Countless summer fun and the taste of all her sealed memories came flowing back to her. It formed a powerful inspiration that connected Bailu’s conception and governor vessels.
“I know! I know what my season is like!”
Bailu hugged her mother in surprise and put on the white dress made by her mother. She was as beautiful as a lively elf girl.
Chen Li’s haggard face also showed a smile. The mother and daughter were happy together in the warm and brand-new house.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door. The beautiful moment was interrupted.
Tang Jidong rushed into the living room in a drunken state. He laid on the sofa and threw off his smelly shoes. He then started to boss Chen Li around.
“Go! Get me some water!”
Chen Li gritted her teeth and handed him some water.
He could not hold the water properly and spilled it. He was stunned for a moment.
He then slapped Chen Li.
“F*ck, why are your hands so stupid? What’s the use of having you around?”
Bailu grabbed his hand. Her eyes seemed like they were on fire.
“What do you want? You’re a coward who beats women!”
“I’ll f*cking beat up women! I want to beat up an unfilial daughter like you too!”
Tang Jidong was even more furious with the alcohol in his system.
Bailu picked up the phone and pretended to be calm.
“I will call the police. Get out of here right now!”
Tang Jidong sobered up a little and said to Chen Li in a bad mood, “Why don’t you teach your daughter a lesson? You dare to chase away your own father?”
Although Chen Li hated the man in her heart, she still tugged at Bailu and said, “Xiao Lu, don’t make a big deal out of it. After all,…”
Bailu knew that her mother had been tolerating him for a long time and did not dare to resist him.
However, after experiencing life and death, she knew very well that a kind person would only be bullied by others.
“This is the house I bought. I have the right to decide who can move in. I did not let you move in. Don’t be so shameless!”
Bailu was about to chase him away with a sullen face. When she reached the door, she realized that he had bought a new car.
“Where did you get the money?”
Bailu questioned him immediately after realizing that something was wrong.
This was because the money that she had given him at the company the last time was definitely not enough to buy a new car.
Tang Jidong’s eyes fluttered. He then said, “I won a bet. It’s none of your business!”
Bailu scoffed. How could he win money?
Since he refused to say, she could only investigate it herself.
When she found someone in her contacts, Jiang Shaomin suddenly called.
“Who do you want to investigate?”
Bailu said Tang Jidong’s name hesitantly. After all, he was still her stepfather. She did not want to trouble Jiang Shaomin.
“This is my own matter. I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to keep a close eye on me.”
With just a phone call, he had controlled her whereabouts. It was as if everyone she knew in the company was his informant.
Jiang Shaomin was silent for a moment. Nevertheless, in a short period of time, he had sent her detailed information about her father.
Bailu’s eyes flashed with surprise. She pressed Tang Jidong, “The account that sent you the money came from my company…”
“But there are only a few people in charge of the company…”
Bailu rolled her eyes and suddenly chuckled, “Let me guess, is it Elina?”
