"Then have you ever thought about what your father would think, seeing you being bullied by them and acting like a soft piece of cotton, not knowing how to resist?" Xu Xingguang looked down at Bai Xi and continued, "You were the child he saved with his life. Do you think he wanted you to live brilliantly, or live miserably and in suffering?"

Hearing this, Bai Xi’s eyes turned slightly red, and she choked out, "Actually, I blame myself a lot."

Xu Xingguang knew what Bai Xi needed was someone to listen, not interrogate, so she didn’t press Bai Xi about why she blamed herself.

If she was willing to speak, she would naturally do so.

Sure enough, before Xu Xingguang could ask, Bai Xi began to talk about that old story on her own.

She said, "At that time, I was only five or six years old, still in a state of ignorance. I saw my mother hiding in the room with another man, being intimate, and I didn’t understand what they were doing, but subconsciously, I felt that what my mother was doing was wrong."

"So, when my father came home from work, I told him what I had seen. After learning about it, my father sat silently in the yard smoking for a long time, then packed things for me and my sister, saying he was going to send us to our grandparents’ house for a few days."

"He wanted to avoid us sisters and have a proper talk with my mother. However, on the way to my grandparents’ house, an accident happened."

"Over the years, I’ve always wondered if I was wrong. If I didn’t tell my father about those things, he wouldn’t have taken us to our grandparents’ house overnight and wouldn’t have encountered the members of Rashomon and died. If he hadn’t died, the family wouldn’t have broken apart..."

Seeing Bai Xi trapped in a dead end again, Xu Xingguang bluntly pointed out the key, "Then why don’t you think about what your family would be like now if your mother hadn’t cheated?"

Bai Xi was stunned.

She looked up at Xu Xingguang and suddenly burst into laughter through her tears. "I understand now, Teacher Xu."

It was her foolishness, always blaming herself and ignoring that the biggest wrongdoer in the whole matter wasn’t her, but Jie Siyu, who betrayed the marriage.

"Talking with Teacher Xu, my heart suddenly feels open and clear." Bai Xi sighed enviously, "I really wonder which guy will be lucky enough to end up with such a good girl like Teacher Xu."

Xu Xingguang’s mind flashed with the image of Huo Wen’an. She curled her lips and said, "Yeah, that guy is really lucky. He suffered enough in the first half of his life, and meeting her means his hardships have finally come to an end."

Xu Xingguang was physically very fit, and she walked back to the hotel with steady breathing. But Bai Xi was tired as a dog, collapsed on the bed, too lazy to even take a shower, and fell asleep.

Everyone went to bed very late last night; the crew had the morning off and would start filming in the afternoon.

Bai Xi didn’t wake up until nearly ten o’clock.

She called Cheng Xizhou and found out that he had already had breakfast and was at the hotel getting a beauty spa, so she went downstairs to have breakfast by herself.

However, the hotel’s breakfast was only served until ten o’clock, and Bai Xi perfectly missed the time.

In the end, she ordered delivery and bought a bowl of spicy noodles.

It wasn’t peak dining time, so her delivery arrived quickly.

The hotel did not allow delivery people inside, so Bai Xi went downstairs to get it herself. She collected her delivery and was about to leave when she heard a fierce female voice shout at her, "Bai Xi!"

The voice was somewhat hoarse, and Bai Xi couldn’t immediately recognize who it was by the voice.

She turned around, looked in the direction the voice was coming from, and saw a blue figure rushing toward her.

It was Jie Siyu.

She had driven herself, and her car was parked by the flower bed outside the hotel entrance, where parking was prohibited.

The hotel’s security was chasing after Jie Siyu, saying, "Ma’am, you can’t park here!"

Jie Siyu ignored the security’s shouting and rushed straight towards Bai Xi.

Before she even got close to Bai Xi, she raised her right hand and swung it toward Bai Xi’s face. "Bai Xi, you bitch!"

Jie Siyu’s slap was harsh and ruthless, leaving Bai Xi stunned for a moment.

Even going to get a delivery could lead to such an annoying incident, and Bai Xi felt a surge of nameless anger. She hesitated only for a moment before swinging the spicy noodles in her hand violently towards Jie Siyu’s shoulder without any hesitation.

Smashing her once didn’t relieve her anger, so she smashed three or four more times in one go.

The noodle container was a round plastic bowl, and with Bai Xi’s smashes, the lid came off, and the spicy hot soup spilled out through the gap in the bag, drenching Jie Siyu’s shoulder and collarbone.
