Chapter 18; Yeah, I was surprised....

" I was investigating and noticed something must be a miss, I think the Gu family has something to do with her mother's passing, there is some shady business that was undertaken below the table! " Bai Zhou Hua gazed at Bai Zhang before looking away.

" And why do you know so much?" Bai Zhang glared at him curiously.

" Aren't I doing all this for you? I just want to know what the Gu family has to do with her family, I don't want them to tarnish my name and my family name and prestige! I have toiled hard to be where I'm today and I wouldn't let any pest destroy all my hard work." His murderous aura intensified at the thought of the Gu family.

Bai Zhou Hua's mother came from the Gu family and thus they were relatives.

"I think they set her up to get rid of her! Why do you think they could be married for all those years without a child and not declare openly to society just to clear her name? " This thing really puzzled Bai Zhang.

" I don't know... Maybe they wanted her dead and out of the picture! " Bai Zhou Hua commented lazily as he wasn't keen on Lilly's life and matters.

Bai Qing who was listening to their conversation was astonished by that confession and revelation, she stumbled out of bed and staggered approaching Bai Zhang.

" What did you just say? Tell me; what did you just say? " She couldn't digest anything they were speculating around, she had lost her cool at that moment.

"What did you just say?" She held his collar and lightly shook him vigorously as her sadness intensified.

"Xiao mei mei, what's the matter?" Bai Zhang pulled her in for a tight hug, he was surprised by her sudden outburst reaction and emotional rampant.

While she was being hugged, she composed herself and her emotions, she was now Bai Qing but still, she couldn't forego Bai Qing Ling, and whatever she heard shook her to the core.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as her entire emotions radiated sorrow and loneliness.

"Xiao mei mei, don't worry, maybe she committed suicide to stop herself from suffering, maybe she was too exhausted to go on, you don't need to be too sad, you just need to keep her in your heart and she will live there forever." Bai Zhang earnestly soothed her thinking maybe it was because she was a huge fan of Lilly and this sudden news shocked her.

"Yeah, I was surprised by her sudden demise, she didn't deserve that! She was such a happy soul and kind." She wiped her tears while Bai Zhang continued hugging her as she tightened her grip around his neck.

" Don't worry, maybe she is at peace now, you need to nap more Xiao mei mei ." He stood up with her in his arms and brought her back into the bedroom.

He gently placed her on the bed and tucked her in nicely, covering her up before returning to his seat.

'Could everything I knew be all wrong? Did they make me feel indebted for their generosity after committing several horrible conspiracies? ' she couldn't sleep nor shut her eyes, this disclosure drew away every little bit of conception she had.

"There has never been the existence of humanity at all, ' her eyes watered nonstop as she softly whimpered inaudibly inside the covers.

What she thought was the reality turned out to be the cruelty she never really came to realize. This was what she never thought could be a possibility.

'No wonder he never cared about me! No wonder there was no love between us! was it an obligation or a goal he had to achieve? " She blamed her stupidity for believing he was a kind person who adopted her and later married her, all along she never knew this would be the truth.

Bai Zhang sighed audibly hearing her soft whimpers, he walked over to the bed and gently tugged her into his arms with the cover, and hugged her like a teddy bear.
