I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 889 - : Open Your Eyes

Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Open Your Eyes

After returning to the Headquarters Building, the news of Fu Miaoxue’s rescue immediately spread like wildfire.

Initially, Du Lai had recruited people from all over to save her, making it known throughout the city. Now that Fu Miaoxue was back, even without any publicity, everyone knew that it was all thanks to Bai Youwei.

Her reputation soared even higher.

Everyone felt that Bai Youwei was certain to make it into the final competition since there were not many Kings left by now.

Bai Youwei occasionally heard people enthusiastically discussing her feats.

She found the phenomenon quite amusing, as if the apocalyptic crisis had receded into the distance and all the pressure had vanished. Or perhaps, it could be interpreted that all the pressure lay on her, while everyone else simply carried on with their lives as usual.

This was probably the only drawback of the base. Chu Huaijin’s hard work made the place feel secure and reliable, yet it also led to complacency.

As for Bai Youwei, she didn’t feel pressured.

She only felt excited.

…

When she went to bed that night, she had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to her old home and settled back into her wheelchair.

She tried to stand up but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get up. As she struggled with the wheelchair, she heard an argument coming from outside.

So she wheeled herself out, opened the door, and the sunlight from the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows shone in so brightly that she couldn’t keep her eyes open.

Squinting, she looked ahead. Two silhouettes were arguing violently in the backlight. Their voices indicated they were her parents, but she couldn’t make out their faces no matter how hard she tried.

“Why can’t you think more about this family?” The man stood with his arms akimbo in front of the woman, indignant. “Is my request too much? Considering how Weiwei is now, shouldn’t you, as her mother, be by her side?”

Sitting on the sofa, the woman’s voice was cold, her spine straight as a rod, “I’m her mother, so what are you? Aren’t you her father? Last month, you only came home three times. What right do you have to criticize me?”

“What can I do?!” The man retorted. “That’s the nature of my job, you know that!”

“You have no way, so I’m supposed to have one? Why is it always me who has to stay at home with the kids? Why can’t it be you? Is your work important, while mine is not?”

“Is your job to keep company with various men?”

“You bastard!” The woman erupted in anger. “I’d rather deal with women! But there are just more men in the workplace. You don’t need to sling mud at me over this!”

“Alright, alright… Let’s not fight over this; you always have your reasons,” The man took a deep breath, trying to suppress his temper. “Let’s just talk about the child today. What’s your plan?”

The woman: “What plan?”

The man: “The company’s business, when will you let it go? If you ask me, since your company won’t last much longer anyway, you might as well sell it.”

The woman fell silent.

The man pressed again, “Now that the child is like this, what are you thinking?! Is a company on the brink of failure worth sacrificing your family for?!”

“I haven’t,” the woman’s voice was as calm as it was indifferent, “I already try to get home early, but to completely let go of the company, I can’t do that. After running it for so many years and finally seeing some success, I can’t give up.”

“What about the child?” the man blurted out.

“There’s a nanny at home,” the woman answered. “Or would you have me do nothing and sit with her all day? Do you think doing that will make her legs heal?”

“What is your heart made of?! The child is like this, and you can’t make some sacrifices?”

“Why does it have to be me making sacrifices? Why can’t you quit your job and stay home with the child?”

“If I don’t work, will you guys drink Northwest wind?!”

“So now you’re talking to me about money?…”

A new round of arguing ensued.

Bai Youwei wanted to say, stop arguing; I don’t want to see either of you! Just get out, all of you!

She wheeled herself over, trying to stop the two people, but somehow she lost her balance and crashed to the ground!

Bai Youwei startled awake, opening her eyes—she was awake.
