Chapter 1504 “Earth (5)”

“Who are you?” The yellow-haired thug angrily asks, his face still white from the stinging pain in his chest.
Bai Yan smiled at the person: “You say you are her husband? Then why don’t you recognize me when I’m her sister?”
Everyone became stunned.
That’s right, if he’s really her husband then why doesn’t he recognize his wife’s own sister?
Forget about the crowd, even Chu Yi Yi herself was stunned there.
Turning to look at the woman that vaguely gives off a sense familiarity, the lass couldn’t quite pinpoint where though. Nevertheless, it won’t stop her from playing along to save herself.
Pouncing over to Bai Yan’s side with tears still flowing, “Sister, I don’t know him, I really don’t know. He just came up to me and started to claim he’s my husband.”
Only now does the crowd understand what’s happening and found a chill running through their spines. Imagine letting the thug get away with this, what would happen to the young lass then? Human traffickers are no joke, they’re criminals that deserve to be punished heavily!
Understanding he’s been caught and exposed, the thug didn’t want to linger anymore and made himself scarce, but not before shooting a glare in Bai Yan’s way. A criminal knows not to stick around at the crime scene because he won’t be able to leave anymore if the cop shows up.
“Yi Yi, I’m back, I’m Bai Yan.” Bai Yan says after getting everyone to disperse.
“You… Sister Bai Yan?” Bai Yi Yi appeared shocked and taken aback.
“Yes, I’m back.”
Though they are addressing each as sisters and family, but make no mistake, Bai Yi Yi wasn’t biologically related to Bai Yan in any way. The lass was an orphan adopted by the family, and since she didn’t have a last name, the lass was given the Bai surname and became the apprentice of Bai Yan’s mother.
Back then Bai Yi Yi wanted to follow this older sister of hers for sure, sadly, perhaps its immaturity working, but the lass got left behind as well when Bai Yan stubbornly departed on her own.
“Why are you handing out leaflets on the street? What about the money I left you before I left? The amount should be plenty for you to live a comfortable life even if you splurged.” Bai Yan asks after finding the situation odd.
Meek and depressed, Bai Yi Yi hangs her head in shame before answering: “Sister Bai Yan, shortly after you left, your stepmother and her daughter deluded your father into taking everything back. They said I’m not a daughter of the Bai Clan so I have no right to inherit that wealth…. Sister Bai Yan, I’m sorry, I’m so useless and could protect Shifu’s belonging even after she’s gone…”
Bai Yan’s heart shook at the news. Slowly closing her eyes, a cold frost filled her soul: “Tell me, why is your strength all gone? How did it become like this where even a thug can bully you?”
Bai Yi Yi’s body visibly stiffed over the inquiry. Hanging her head even lower, the lass didn’t even dare to look up anymore.
