You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 101

She was like a fragrant chrysanthemum flower, looking cold and aloof on the surface; but after knowing her deeper, it felt relaxed and refreshing to be with her.

“I’m sorry. If we are just a regular family, we would be happy to have you as our daughter-in-law. But we can’t afford to make any mistakes given our current status.” Song Xiyu sighed as she turned around and left.

As the door slammed shut, tears started streaming down Bai Rong’s cheeks.

This was the outcome she had expected.

The reason Cinderella could marry the prince was because she had three sets of gorgeous gowns and the only pair of crystal shoes in the world.

If Cinderella was just an ordinary peasant woman without a prominent family background, she could never be with the prince.

Bai Rong was hurt as though a hole was pierced in her heart.

Only those who had experienced warmth would know how cold felt like.

She had harbored hopes previously, that was why she was feeling such despair at the rejection.

The woman cried for a long time and fell asleep on the sofa after she got exhausted from crying.

Bai Rong was awoken by the ringtone of her phone.

She opened her eyes and saw that it was Liu Yan who was calling. “What’s the matter, Yan?” She answered.

“Have you seen the news on the internet? The murderer of Governor Cheng has been caught and the murder process was described in the news. The police have also located the rental apartment of the murderer near the prosecutor’s office. It was reported that Governor Cheng had received money from the killer but did not deliver the agreed task and the man killed him in a fit of anger. I feel that the murderer was just plain stupid. Governor Cheng has already been detained by the prosecutors and would receive his sentence sooner or later. There was no need for the murderer to do anything. What an idiot, right?” Liu Yan expressed her views.

Bai Rong did not say anything.

The official reports didn’t mention anything about the gold bars or the massacre of the village.

How much truths were actually buried in this cruel reality?

Even if she wanted to help Tang Xiaojiu by finding other culprits, there was nothing she could do.

“Rong, what’s going on? Are you still there?” Liu Yan was worried that she was not getting any response from her friend.

“Yup, I’m here. I just woke up so I’m feeling a bit groggy. I’m going out to find some food now. Let’s talk again tonight.” Bai Rong replied.

“OK. It’s already 3 p.m. and you haven’t eaten anything. You should hurry up and get some food. I’ll see you later.” Liu Yan said and hung up the phone.

Bai Rong went to the bathroom to wash up and saw that her eyes were swollen. She stopped to think for a moment.

She could not just sit and wait. The woman let out a sigh to release her pent-up frustration and proceeded to call Xing Bachuan.

Seeing that it was a number he could not recognize, the man answered suspiciously, “Who’s this?”

“Dad, I am Bai Rong. I want to go home.” She went straight to the point.

“What are you talking about?” Xing Bachuan said in a sharp and unfeeling voice. “You are not my daughter.”

“Are you sure I am not your daughter?” A faint smile appeared on Bai Rong’s face and she continued, “After my mom gave birth to me, you secretly spiked her food with drugs that induced psychosis, and divorced her subsequently. Mom had no choice but to be alone and even suffered from mental illness since then. But don’t forget, it is a fact that I am your biological daughter and this can be easily proven through DNA testing.”

A deep crease appeared between Xing Bachuan’s brows. “What do you want from me?” He shouted over the phone, feeling flustered.

“Dad, you must have offended more than a few people in your political undertakings. If your daughter is the one who testifies against you, how much credibility do you think it will have? Do you think you can still remain in your position?” Bai Rong asked nonchalantly.

“You are ingrate! I am your dad. How can you set me up!” The man was losing his calmness.
