Bai Jing pushed Zhang Lihong and she fell .
“Bai Jing!”
A deep voice sounded from the door, and Bai Jing froze . The voice seemed to have the power to rouse her from her hysteria . She broke down once more .
“Ahhh . ”
The container of porridge fell to the floor once more, and she collapsed .
The towering figure had scrambled towards her . He bent to lift her up by grabbing her arm .
Bai Jing wailed loudly, like a child who had lost her way home . Her hands clenched Yan Rusheng’s shirt tightly .
A girl had just lost her only family, and her howls were heartbreaking to everyone present in the ward .
Yan Rusheng put his arm around Bai Jing to console her .
He knew that it was crueler to stop her from crying .
She could cry for as long as she needed to .
When his grandmother passed away, Xuxu had cried for days . She took a month to recover from her grief and until that very moment, she hadn’t completely gotten over it .
To Bai Jing, it was like her world had collapsed .
Bai Jing buried her head in Yan Rusheng’s chest and sobbed . Someone came to change Bai Lisong’s clothes . Yan Rusheng patted her gently as he whispered, “Let them change your father’s clothes . ”
Bai Jing’s tears continuously rolled down, and she quietly nodded .
Yan Rusheng helped to settle Bai Lisong’s funeral . After all, he had saved his life .
Bai Jing had no family or relatives in the capital city, and so no one came .
Only Zhang Lihong stayed with Bai Jing . Her face seemed pale and haggard after several days .
After Bai Lisong’s funeral ended, they left the cemetery .
Several black cars were parked outside the entrance of the cemetery . They belong to Yan Rusheng’s friends, Lu Yinan and Ming Ansheng .
Su Yue held on to Bai Jing’s hand as they walked behind Yan Rusheng .
Xuxu couldn’t come as Mu Li and Yan Weihong forbade her to . Hence, she couldn’t give her last respects to Bai Lisong .
“Xiaojing . ” Zhang Lihong called Bai Jing as they left the cemetery .
Bai Jing halted her footsteps and turned to look at her with a face laden with grief .
Zhang Lihong held Bai Jing’s hand and pleaded with her . “Come home with mommy all right? Give me a chance, will you?”
She sounded sincere and earnest .
Bai Jing bowed her head and kept quiet . She furrowed her eyebrows as though she was hesitating .
Yan Rusheng stood beside his car and turned around to watch them . His hands were deep in his pockets as he waited .
“Xiaojing, your father is gone . No one else can take care of you anymore . Come with me all right?”
Zhang Lihong rubbed her glistening eyes as she spoke .
Bai Jing’s mouth moved soundlessly . She turned towards Yan Rusheng and glanced at him .
Yan Rusheng remained quiet .
“Bai Jing…” Su Yue stood beside her and tugged at her clothes .
Bai Jing remained quiet and she walked to Yan Rusheng . She stopped before him and seemed to have something to say to him .
Yan Rusheng spoke up first . “You are going to university soon . Make your own decision . ”
He had promised that he would take care of her expenses from now on .
