Chapter 7

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The original Luo Yun was an illegitimate daughter of the Luo family. She had two elder sisters and one younger sister. Because she was an illegitimate child, she did not enjoy a good life in the Luo family. Good things never came to her, while everything bad was thrown at her. Her sisters knew that the fourth son of the Bai family was disabled, so they were naturally unwilling to marry him. Following that, they directly pushed her, the illegitimate daughter, to be the one to be married to him instead.

Luo Yun looked at the caller ID on her phone. It was none other than Yu Xia, the current wife of that scumbag father of hers. She unlocked her phone and lazily answered the call. “Hello.”

When Yu Xia saw that the call had connected, she immediately ordered, “It’s your father’s 50th birthday the day after tomorrow. Tell Bai Qihan to come and celebrate his birthday.”

“Is Bai Qihan someone you can call over just because you want to?” Luo Yun laughed.

“Luo Yun, what’s with that attitude of yours?” Yu Xia was furious when she heard the tone of Luo Yun’s voice. She turned to Luo Dashan and said, “Listen to what that little bastard daughter of yours is saying. She really is something that has not had a proper mother to raise her. It’s as if she thinks we’re begging her to come.”

Luo Dashan took the phone. “Luo Yun, ask Bai Qihan to come back home with you. You’ve been married for over a year, but you haven’t returned to the country. Although he’s disabled and physically challenged, he’s still your husband. Our Luo family is also a prestigious family. How can he be my son-in-law if he’s so rude? I’m telling you, you two come back home, okay? Are you listening?”

Luo Yun frowned.

Bai Qihan’s physical condition made a lot of things inconvenient for him, so he rarely participated in such events. Besides, if he went, he would only receive a bunch of unfriendly gazes. Just thinking about it made him feel annoyed. As such, it was much better for him not to go. Moreover, Bai Qihan did not care about such things. The last time that the two of them attended a party, even the original Luo Yun felt embarrassed from being looked at with ill intentions. When they got home, she had a big fight with Bai Qihan.

Since then, Bai Qihan has avoided appearing with her at such events.

Although Luo Yun did not mind these things now, she did not want Bai Qihan to have to experience being badmouthed by other people right in his face again, so she said, “I don’t have the time. Bai Qihan is busy as well.”

“Don’t think you can fool me! How can you not have the time?” Yu Xia sneered mercilessly on the other end of the phone, “After marrying into the Bai family, you have not needed to work nor study another day of your life. Every day, you leisurely enjoy the life of a rich wife. You don’t even need to give birth or tend to children! So tell me, how can you not have the time for your father’s birthday? Don’t you forget, if it wasn’t for me and your father, what right would an illegitimate daughter like you have to marry into the Bai family? You should be grateful to be able to live such a good life. Don’t think that just because you’re married to Bai Qihan, you’re superior to everyone else. I can’t believe that you even have the audacity to ignore your father’s words now…”

Yu Xia was still jabbering on the phone. She was like this every time. It was as if she could not live if she did not belittle Luo Yun every time they talked.

Luo Yun hung up the phone. The Luo couple could control the original Luo Yun, but they could not control her. After all, she did not care about her so-called family in this world. However, Luo Yun underestimated the Luo couple’s abilities.

Soon, the old master of the Bai family called Bai Qihan. He told Bai Qihan about his father-in-law’s birthday party and that Bai Qihan should put down his work to attend it. He could not afford to be tardy, or people would say that the Bai family was lacking in manners.

Bai Qihan had never refuted his grandfather’s words, so he could only agree. He was in the company office at the moment. After hanging up the phone, he typed a message and sent it to Luo Yun.

[I’ll go to the Luo family with you the day after tomorrow. I’ll get Qiu Ming to prepare a gift.]

When Luo Yun saw the message, she immediately sat up, her expression becoming worse. She calmed down for a while and began typing a message. She edited it a few times, and in the end, she sent, [Are you free right now?]

[What is it?]

Luo Yun thought about it and called him directly. “Do we really have to attend the party the day after tomorrow?”

Bai Qihan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, “This time, it was my grandfather who told me to do so. As such, I cannot refuse. Don’t worry, I’ll leave after I deliver the gift. I won’t embarrass you.”

Luo Yun: “???”

He seemed to have misunderstood her and thought that she did not want to appear at the same event as him. But that was not what she meant! She hurriedly explained, “It’s not that I care about whether or not you embarrass me. I just feel that it’s inconvenient for you to move around. You’ve never liked attending such events. When Luo Dashan called, I said we did not have the time and refused. But I didn’t expect them to go to your grandfather. I’m sorry…”

Luo Dashan had abused her and then abandoned her. He could not control his lower body, and that eventually lead to the original Luo Yun having to bear the brunt of his faults. In the end, she was even forcefully married off. While Luo Yun was indeed not a good person, it was undeniable that her life had also been quite miserable. Therefore, she really held no good feelings for Luo Dashan.
