“D-daughter!”

A nanny van had stopped in front of the stall, and a middle-aged couple got out. At a glance, one could see that the man was wearing an expensive suit, and he was radiating an aura of success all over. The woman looked like she took good care of herself, and she was donned with expensive jewelry. She carried a limited edition branded bag and had an air of an upper-class woman from a wealthy family.

With just a glance, Bai Yang was sure that the little girl in front of the stall was his long-lost daughter, Bai Jin! She looked exactly like her deceased mother, but her eyes…

Tears flowed down uncontrollably from Bai Yang’s eyes. The child was so pitiful. Not only was she dressed in rags, but her eyes were also damaged. Bai Yang quickly stepped forward and waved his right hand in front of Bai Jin. “Xiao Bai! I’m your dad! Are you able to see me?”

Bai Jin thought, “Uh… how childish!”

Facing her passionate father, Bai Jin said indifferently. “Strictly speaking, you’re just my biological father.”

When Mr. Bai heard this, he cried even harder. His child was blaming him! She was blaming him for not raising her after her birth. Although he felt wronged, now was not the time to explain to the child that he had never stopped looking for her.

Xiao Bai was not able to serve and please her parents for so many years. She had to go through the hardships of living outside. Whatever grievance he had suffered could not be compared to his daughter’s. 

“Thud!”

As Mr. Bai mumbled, he stretched out his arms, and was just about to hug Bai Jin, she swiftly pasted a talisman on his forehead.

Strangely enough, even though Mr. Bai met his precious long-lost daughter again, both his arms felt like they were hooped with a huge metal pail, restricting his movement.

“Don’t touch me. Please be more reserved, just stand there and talk nicely.” The fairy-like daughter in front of him said in a dignified manner.

“Yes, yes!” Mr. Bai’s eyes were filled with tears, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

“That’s right.” The beautiful woman slowly walked up to Bai Yang and said, “You’re a mature adult. Don’t let your daughter watch you making a fool of yourself.”

When the beautiful woman finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Bai Jin. “Xiao Bai, I’m Aunt Tao Ran.”

“Mm,” Bai Jin replied indifferently. This woman was surrounded by a gentle aura. She was a kind person who could be easy to get along with. However, Bai Jin was not used to being warm to others.

Bai Jin looked at Mr. Bai again. With a gentle wave of her tender hand, she took back the yellow talisman that was stuck on his forehead. She was very thrifty. This talisman could still be re-used after it was straightened out!

Oddly enough, as soon as the talisman was withdrawn, Bai Yang immediately felt that the invisible metal bucket around his arms had disappeared! The sudden impact made Bai Yang stagger. Just as he was about to fall to the ground face down, he was suddenly held up by a piece of cardboard that Bai Jin put out.

Bai Yang managed to regain his balance. On the cardboard that his precious daughter used to save him from falling, four big words were written in calligraphy: fortune-telling and divination!

Bai Yang felt even more bitter. What kind of life had his daughter been living these past ten years? He immediately had an image in his mind: the young Xiao Bai was holding a broken bowl and begging for food everywhere. “Sir, Madam, please give me something to eat.”

“Waa –” Bai Yang couldn’t hold it in anymore that he sat on the dirt road and bawled! His daughter was so pitiful! She was blind, and at such a young age, she had become a swindler! Heaven was too cruel!

Watching them by the side, Aunt Xu was so engrossed that she stopped turning her roasted sweet potatoes. On one hand, she was shocked that Xiao Bai’s family had actually found their way up the mountain.. On the other hand, she felt sorry that Bai Jin’s father whom she had finally reunited turned out to be a fool!
