Chapter 301 Just the beginning
Chapter 301 Just the beginning
Little did she know that this man had already married and had children, but he had kept it all a secret, weaving a tender net with sweet words to lure her into falling in love.
When Bai Zhenting was five months pregnant, his wife came to his door with their two sons and exposed his lies.
Bai Zhenting's wife cried hysterically, pointing her finger at my mother and calling her a vixen who had ruined her family.
This farce caused the Jiang family to lose face, and in a fit of rage, the head of the Jiang family kicked my mother out of the house.
My mother was heartbroken and left Dongyue, only to be found by Bai Zhenting.
He pretended to have repented and deceived her again, eventually making her his concubine.
Unable to bear her husband's betrayal, Bai Zhenting's wife argued with him many times and ultimately chose to commit suicide.
So her two sons, Bai Ziyu and Bai Zijian, transferred all their hatred onto me and my mother.
After my mother gave birth to me, Bai Zhenting treated her fairly well, at least on the surface, maintaining a facade of harmony.
But when I was five years old, I failed to awaken my companion spirit, and everything changed.
Bai Zhenting tore off his mask of hypocrisy and began endless torment and humiliation of me and my mother.
He considered my mother a disgrace, believing she had given birth to a good-for-nothing who had tarnished the Bai family bloodline.
My mother's health deteriorated, and the doctors in the manor refused to treat her or even give her any medicine. In the end, she died in despair.
It wasn't until her deathbed that she learned that Bai Zhenting's original wife was actually his childhood sweetheart.
The reason Bai Zhenting approached her was simply because she possessed a top-tier talent with a divine affinity of 80, a celestial-level companion soul spirit, and was a Soul Imprint Master sought after by countless people.
He wanted a gifted child to inherit the Bai family and consolidate the family's position.
But Bai Zhenting's wife, like him, didn't have much talent for cultivation. He worried that their child wouldn't have much talent for cultivation either, and that the Bai family would decline from then on.
Therefore, he tried every means to get close to my mother, hoping to take advantage of her outstanding talents and have an excellent child.
But I am a useless person who cannot awaken my innate soul.
Most importantly, Bai Zhenting's wife gave birth to a son who was a genius Soul Imprint Master with a divine affinity of 70. With this comparison, Bai Zhenting began to resent my mother.
He believed that she had driven his wife to her death.
Feeling guilty towards his wife, he treated his two sons even better, but neglected Bai Ruoan, and was even unwilling to admit that this shameful child was his own.
Therefore, Bai Zhenting was utterly disappointed, tore off his mask of hypocrisy, and revealed his ugly face, indirectly causing my mother's death!
Bai Ruoan's voice choked as he spoke, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms. He took a deep breath and continued, "Bai Ziyu has always believed that my mother forced his mother to her death. This time, he probably heard from Bai Zijian that I was also participating in the assessment, so he took the initiative to apply to become an examiner."
Just as Bai Ruoan said, Bai Ziyu did indeed apply voluntarily; he wanted to take revenge on Bai Ruoan personally.
These are just appetizers.
As Bai Ruoan spoke, she could no longer maintain her indifference, her eyes filled with a mixture of hatred and grief.
For the past ten years or so, he has lived on thin ice, treated as a servant by Bai Zijian and Bai Ziyu, beaten at the drop of a hat, and often going hungry. For a long time, he had no intact skin on his body and had to be wary of Bai Zijian's occasional harassment.
