Chapter 558: Taking Your Life While You’re Down
Jiang Shaoqing was also hesitating.
How could he not know about Bai Xiao’s transfer? He had been keeping an eye on her all along. When he received the news, he even breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that getting rid of this troublemaker was not a bad thing at all.
The main issue was that Jiang Shaoqing couldn’t figure out how Bai Xiao wanted to exploit the Jiang Family. He was still afraid. Although Grandfather valued Bai Xiao highly, he still remained guarded against her.
This girl was too scheming. It would have been okay if she were a good person, but from what happened with Shang Kaijie, he had learned that she was ruthless.
Moreover, the affair of Shang Feng recognizing his daughter was making waves; everyone knew about it, treating it as a scandalous affair of a wealthy family. If Bai Xiao really was Shang Feng’s daughter, then what she was doing was truly inhumane.
He dared not entangle himself with Bai Xiao; he wouldn’t even know how he might die.
Yet, he couldn’t just let Bai Xiao fend for herself. Ignoring such a person would mean underestimating her.
Thus, he deliberately kept the news from Grandfather, for with just one word from Grandfather, Bai Xiao wouldn’t have dared to take that risk.
But when he saw the report about Bai Xiao, he was truly shocked.
Every little detail that had happened there proved one thing.
Bai Xiao was nothing like he had imagined. She risked her life to save more than a dozen people buried under the Karst Cave, and for the person she loved, she bravely stood beside him in front of a landmine, ready to face death together as they defused the bomb. Such courage, such a compassionate heart of a healer, was enough to prove that Bai Xiao was not the kind of woman he had imagined.
