Chapter 3: Confession
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Sister, I’ve been a burden to you.” Bai Yi’s voice was a little choked. She bit her lip to stop her tears from flowing.
“No, what burden…” Bai Ying’s heart ached for her sister. The year Bai Ying took the college entrance examination, their parents had passed away in an accident. At that time, Bai Yi had just entered junior high school and had been raised by Bai Ying all these years.
Back then, most of the compensation money had been snatched by unscrupulous relatives. The house in their hometown had also been occupied by their grandparents.
For the sake of the sisters’ better lives, Bai Ying chose Hai City University, which had given her a scholarship subsidy, and gave up the opportunity to study for postgraduate studies so she could raise Bai Yi.
How could Bai Yi enjoy this for nothing?
“Sis, I’ll move out today.”
“Move out?” Bai Ying asked in surprise. “Move where? I already said that your brother-in-law is fine, it’s just…”
“Sis, I’m married. I have to live with my husband.” Bai Yi felt a little guilty. She called him “husband” very softly, as if she was afraid of something.
“What’s going on?” Bai Ying held the marriage certificate her younger sister handed her in disbelief. She looked at the name and ID number on the marriage certificate and confirmed it one by one.
“When did you have a boyfriend? Why did you suddenly get married? I didn’t prepare anything for you. I don’t have any dowry or jewelry.” Bai Ying looked at Bai Yi helplessly, as if she had made a huge mistake.
“It was introduced by a customer of mine. We fell in love at first sight and have been talking for a while.” Bai Yi bit her lip, thinking about how to make this matter more real.
“Because his previous work required him to fly around. Previously, he had been in a different place. He recently returned to Hai City and proposed to me. He said that he wanted to settle down in Hai City, so we registered our marriage first.”
Bai Yi did not dare to look into Bai Ying’s eyes, afraid that she would expose herself.
Fortunately, Bai Ying had been looking at the photo and did not notice Bai Yi’s panic. The two people in the photo looked very compatible. This boy wore glasses and looked gentle. Although he did not smile, he looked quite reliable.
“He’s very good and loves me very much. His family background is also very good. He has a house and a car and works in a large company. I won’t lack clothes and food. Sister, you don’t have to worry.”
“Did… did he gave you a betrothal gift?” Bai Ying’s head was in a mess, and her dry hair was messed up by her.
Bai Yi paused. After all, she had only gotten married to move out. She had not prepared a dowry or considered the betrothal gift.
“No, no. Don’t misunderstand. I mean, if you have a betrothal gift, you must put it away yourself. Don’t give it to me or support the family. Don’t listen to your brother-in-law. Don’t give it to him.”
Bai Yi felt even more sad. Her sister must have thought that she had been agitated by her brother-in-law’s words last night and casually found someone to marry.
“No, Sis. We’ve discussed it. We’ll each preserve our premarital assets. We won’t talk about betrothal gifts or dowry. We’ll just run our family well.”
Bai Ying nodded and instructed Bai Yi on many things, such as not giving up her job and not giving birth easily.
“I’ll pack up and help you move today. I’ll call your brother-in-law back. Call him tonight and we’ll have a meal together.”
“There’s no need, Sis.” Bai Yi quickly rejected. If she did this, wouldn’t it be very easy to be exposed? Before she really saw her parents, she had to train Lu Qi.
“He’s recently finishing up projects outside the city. He probably won’t be able to eat this meal for a week or two.”
Bai Ying nodded and solemnly placed the marriage certificate in Bai Yi’s hand. She sobbed and could not speak, only nodding.
Bai Yi held back the tears in her eyes. “His house is not far from here. If you want to drink soup, I’ll come over early to give it to you.”
Bai Ying smiled through her tears and hugged her sister. “There’s no need for you to make me soup. As long as you’re happy.”
After lunch, Bai Yi carried her suitcase and got into the car. She did not have much luggage, only simple daily necessities and a few sets of clothes, but she was in a difficult position standing in the neighborhood.
She only had the key to the house, but she had never registered in the district.
The management of Towerview Gardens was very strict. Without an access card or registration record, or the permission of the owner, one could not enter casually.
Under the scorching sun of Hai City, she stood at the entrance of the district and called Lu Qi with a desperate expression.
Lu Qi was in a meeting. The turnover for the market this quarter was very bad, and he was in a rage.
