Past life

  Bai Yun looked at her father sleeping soundly in the hospital bed, and couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow. After her mother passed away, her father had single-handedly raised her, working tirelessly to manage their small family business. Who could have imagined that it would end up going bankrupt? Usually, her father didn't need her help, so she rarely asked about the company's affairs. Besides, her uncle was also working at the company, so she hadn't had much to worry about. But she never could have dreamed that their once-thriving business not only went bankrupt but also accumulated a large amount of debt owed to outsiders.

  Her father had a stroke and was unable to move or speak, the family's debt fell on her shoulders, and her uncle not only couldn't help with anything but also kept asking her for money to repay the debt.

  The hospital has issued a notice to save money, if there is no money, she can only pull her father back to the rented house and wait for the arrival of death, she doesn't even want to think about such a situation. Her father is her only relative in this world, even if it costs her life, she wants her father to receive treatment.

  "Bai Yun, I have some good news for you. Someone is willing to take over your father's company, and the creditor can also be taken care of... but..."

  Bai Zhenbang glanced at his niece, but unfortunately, her brother had spoiled the child too much. She was just a naive and innocent girl who didn't understand worldly affairs. But this was also good, as it made it more convenient for him to do what he wanted.

  Bai Yun heard that the company was saved and some couldn't wait to ask "Young uncle, what are their conditions? As long as they don't make things difficult for me, I'll definitely agree."

  Bai Zhenbang stared into her eyes and said "The other party has a son who is interested in you, wants to marry you as his wife, what do you think..."

  Bai Yun heard this condition, her head shaking like a rattle drum, "Young uncle, I can't agree to this condition. I have a boyfriend, you know that... He's studying abroad, you also know..."

  Bai Zhenbang sneered, "Don't mention that boyfriend of yours. What can he do to help you? The cost of studying abroad was all earned by yourself through part-time jobs. How much ability does he have to repay such a large debt for you? I'll tell you the truth, if your father's illness isn't treated in time, the intracranial hemorrhage will only get worse and worse, and your father's life will be in your hands."

  "As long as you agree to marry him, your father's medical expenses will all be taken care of by his family. The conditions are more than generous enough, aren't they? This factory is the lifeblood of your parents' lifelong efforts. If you don't agree... hehe, I'm afraid your mother won't rest in peace even after she's gone."

  Bai Yun felt extremely sad, but what Bai Zhenbang said was all true. She couldn't afford to take on the family's debts and her father's medical expenses were a huge amount. Even if she went out to work, it wouldn't be enough to cover the hospital bills. It could be said that her father's life was really in her hands. If she agreed, her father would receive good treatment and live longer, and the factory built by her parents' hard work could continue to operate.

  But all of this is premised on marrying a strange man.

  Her heart ached, her boyfriend Yan Xiao Tian would graduate in two years, their beautiful future was just around the corner. At this time, she had to abandon her boyfriend and the vows they once made, no matter how she thought about it, she felt guilty towards him.

  Looking at his father lying in bed again, he struggled in his heart, lowered his head and said softly, "Young uncle, let me think about this."

  Bai Zhenbang didn't seem to want to give her time to think, "Ai, Bai Yun, listen to your uncle's advice, what about tomorrow's medical expenses? If we stop the treatment, your father's condition will be hard to predict. You must make up your mind quickly, this is a great opportunity, if you miss it, it won't just be a problem for the factory, but also for your father. Alas, if I had any ability at all, I wouldn't need you to worry about it. Our family's situation is clear to you, and your brother's studying abroad has already cost us a huge sum of money, we really can't afford to help you anymore."

  Bai Yun sat stupidly for a few minutes, things had already become unbearable for her to consider, such a life and death crisis, love was just a beautiful dream, her lover, Yan Xiao Tian, could only be destined to be a beautiful dream.

  "Little uncle, agree to them and let them hurry up and transfer the money to the hospital's account tomorrow morning. As for the factory's matters, I will get married after seeing the contract and everything is settled."

  Bai Zhenbang felt a thrill of excitement in his heart, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. "Alright, I'll take care of these matters, you stay at the hospital and accompany your father. Sigh, your father's life hasn't been easy either."

  Soon under Bai Zhenbang's mediation, both sides quickly completed the formalities. However, the other party also made a request that Bai Yun would have to marry into their family in a month.

  The night before she got married, she made a phone call to her boyfriend. She didn't mention her situation or that she was getting married, only telling him to study hard and take care of himself.

  However, on the wedding day, she still sent a breakup text message to her lover, without any reason, just one sentence "Let's break up", and then directly uninstalled the phone card. From today on, she will start a brand new life, for this family, for dad, even if she has to sell herself.

  Bai Yun had never seen what her future husband looked like, but her uncle Bai Zhenbang assured her that he was quite good-looking and capable. He had recently gone abroad on a business trip and hadn't returned yet, so she couldn't see him.

  At that time, Bai Yun didn't think much about it either. Since she didn't love him, it didn't matter who she married.

  Today she finally saw what her husband was like, not good-looking, with a somewhat fierce appearance, but these are just superficial things. In the future, as long as he is good to her and her father, she won't mind this kind of thing. Good looks can't be eaten as rice.

  Unfortunately, misfortune began to befall her from the day of their marriage. On their wedding night, the couple's life was actually secretly recorded by this guy.

  Not long after getting married, he started staying out all night and wouldn't even bother to respond if Bai Yun wanted to ask him anything. With no university classes to attend, she could only spend her days taking care of her father in the hospital, temporarily finding some peace of mind.

  Fortunately, the medical expenses were sufficient, and his father's condition had improved a lot. He would occasionally say a few words to her.

  The little uncle who had been missing for a long time came to see his brother at this moment. When White Yun's father learned that his daughter had married such a man, he was furious and attacked with extreme anger: "Bai Zhenbang, how dare you deceive my daughter? You clearly transferred the assets away, but you still let my daughter marry such a scoundrel. I'll fight to the death with you."

  Bai Zhenguon buried his head in the ground, while Bai Zhenbang said with a confused expression, "Big brother, don't wrong me, it's hard to be a good person these days."

  When Bai Yun helped her father up, the old man had already stopped breathing. Bai Zhenbang saw that things were not right and quickly slipped away. After Bai Yun finished handling her father's affairs, she returned home to find her husband watching their wedding video with his mistress in their house. For the past few days, while she was busy with her father's funeral, her uncle had been nowhere to be found. She wondered why her father would say such things before he died, only to discover that the whole family had already emigrated.

  She collapsed on the sofa, exhausted in body and mind, and began to think that she no longer had the energy to pay attention to those two scoundrels in the house.

  She wasn't stupid, she was just spoiled by her father before and didn't know the cruelty of human hearts. This time she finally figured out what's going on and got up to write a letter in the study room. When she went out to mail it, she also made a trip to the pharmacy.

  Knowing that the man had a habit of loving to drink red wine after things, she put the things she bought into a wine bottle. She returned to her guest room and ate the medicine she had bought back.
