From Broken Family to Life Winner: A Reborn Mother's Journey

Su Li’s heart sank the moment she got the news. She had a bad feeling.

And it turned out she was right.

Bai Xinyue’s ”unbearable humiliation” came from Wu Sheng.

Bai Xinyue was quite ’lucky.’ She attempted suicide during the hospital’s morning rounds. Someone noticed something was wrong inside, broke down the door, and Bai Xinyue, who had tried to kill herself by slitting her wrists, was saved.

Thanks to the timely rescue, Bai Xinyue’s life was saved.

However, her suicide attempt caused the whole affair to blow up.

The Bai Family’s relatives and friends, Bai Xinyue’s own circle of friends, and all her many admirers heard the news.

The news spread quickly. Not long after Bai Xinyue was rescued, her loyal best friends, all indignant on her behalf, arrived.

Before Wu Sheng woke up, everything was fine. But once he regained consciousness, Bai Xinyue clarified to everyone that she hadn’t saved him and that she deserved to have lost her eye.

Everyone found that strange at the time. If Bai Xinyue hadn’t stopped them, they would have gone to ask what was really going on.

And just as they’d suspected, something happened.

The naturally proud Bai Xinyue had lost an eye trying to save Wu Sheng, only for him to deny it. He even accused her of lying and trying to extort him.

How could Bai Xinyue, the great Miss Bai of the Bai Family, accept that? So, ’unable to bear the humiliation,’ she attempted suicide.

When Mrs. Bai heard about Bai Xinyue’s suicide attempt, she was scared out of her wits.

Looking at the bright red bloodstains left in the hospital room, then at Bai Xinyue’s suicide note, Mrs. Bai’s hatred soared to the heavens.

Once Bai Xinyue was stabilized and returned to her room, Mrs. Bai, clutching the suicide note, led a crowd to Wu Sheng’s room to demand justice for her daughter.

Her daughter had already lost an eye trying to save Wu Sheng, which broke Mrs. Bai’s heart. But for this Wu Sheng to not only deny it but also dare to humiliate Bai Xinyue? How could she swallow this insult?

If they hadn’t been lucky enough to save Bai Xinyue today, she couldn’t even bear to imagine the consequences.

Mrs. Bai grabbed the bedsheet, stained red with Bai Xinyue’s blood, determined to get justice for her daughter.

On the way to Wu Sheng’s room, Mrs. Bai remembered all the newspapers and TV shows that had praised Wu Sheng to no end and gave a specific order.

”Contact the reporters from the daily paper. Aren’t they always looking for a story? I’ll give them one. Let them report on the true face of this so-called hero.”

The person following close behind Mrs. Bai heard this and immediately went to carry it out.

The commotion from Mrs. Bai and the group of people fighting for Bai Xinyue’s cause was so great that hospital staff, seeing something was wrong, immediately tried to stop them, fearing they would cause a scene.

But there was no stopping Mrs. Bai’s group, and the attempt to block them only drew more attention.

The blood-stained sheet in Mrs. Bai’s hand was particularly conspicuous, drawing even more eyes.

In the end, with the addition of curious family members of other patients who came to watch the drama, plus the doctors and nurses trying to de-escalate the situation, the procession actually grew in size.

The massive procession marched straight for Wu Sheng’s room.

”Wu Sheng!” Mrs. Bai roared, kicking the door open and storming in. ”You ungrateful wretch! Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be a hero.”

At that moment, Wa Wa Lian had just come to see Wu Sheng. He had already heard the news, and his expression was a mix of anger and gravity. Seeing Mrs. Bai storm in, he immediately stood in front of Wu Sheng.

”So you know you can’t show your face in public! What are you hiding for? Get out here!”

Mrs. Bai yelled when she saw Wa Wa Lian shielding Wu Sheng.

”That’s right, come on out! Come out if you have the guts!” one of the people with Mrs. Bai shouted, their eyes landing on Su Li at the side with even more resentment.

Seeing them dare to cause such a scene, Wa Wa Lian’s face turned red with anger.

”Our boss doesn’t deserve it? Then does your troublemaker of a daughter deserve it? If it wasn’t for her, how would our boss have gotten hurt? She even harmed an innocent child!”

he retorted loudly.

’Someone like Bai Xinyue saving the boss? Save my ass!’

”Did you all hear that? This is the kind of shameless talk they use to insult my Xinyue! What do they take my Xinyue for?!”

Mrs. Bai, furious, lunged forward to claw at Wa Wa Lian. ”Get out of my way!”

Wa Wa Lian balled his hands into fists, desperately restraining himself from fighting back, but he didn’t move.

Wu Sheng looked at the chaotic crowd and spoke. ”Zhou Ming, step aside.”

”Boss...” Wa Wa Lian couldn’t possibly move.

”Move aside. Don’t just stand there. If one of these people made of porcelain breaks an arm or a leg, it’ll be hard to explain.”

Wu Sheng said coolly, the mockery in his voice obvious.

Wa Wa Lian quickly stepped aside, but Mrs. Bai and the crowd were enraged by Wu Sheng’s words.

”Oh my god, I can’t believe he actually said something like that!”

”Poor Miss Bai.”

”Xinyue is so pitiful. To think she’d meet someone like this, and even lose an eye.”

Amidst the curses and murmurs, Mrs. Bai’s voice rose, louder and more furious than anyone else’s.

”You heartless monster! Ptooey! Why didn’t you just die there? If I had known, Xinyue never should have saved you!”

”It’s one thing to deny she saved your life, but to drive Xinyue to her death? I’m telling you, you can just dream on!”

Mrs. Bai continued to curse as she viciously threw the bedsheet at Wu Sheng.

Su Li, who was closest to Wu Sheng, raised a hand and caught the sheet. Just as she was about to throw it back, she heard a piercing cry.

”Mom!”

”Mom, don’t do this.”

Bai Xinyue’s heart-wrenching voice drifted in. The next second, Sister Li, the caretaker, entered, supporting a pale and unsteady Bai Xinyue.

Seeing Bai Xinyue, Mrs. Bai rushed to support her. ”What are you doing in here? I was just about to deal with this heartless monster...”

”Mom, please stop,” Bai Xinyue pleaded.

Mrs. Bai said resentfully, ”Why should I stop? I even called reporters! I want them to come see this man’s true face and report on it! I’m also going to talk to his superiors...”

Before Bai Xinyue could even speak, the crowd chimed in.

”Exactly! Why not say it? Xinyue, don’t be afraid. We’re here for you.”

”With a heartless monster like him, there’s no need to be polite.”

Bai Xinyue’s expression was complicated. She waited for the crowd to finish, swayed slightly, and then weakly steadied herself.

”Wu Sheng, last time you said you have a clear conscience. Well, let me tell you, I have a clear conscience too.”

Hearing this, Wu Sheng and Su Li spoke at the same time.

”Bai Xinyue, how much money do you want?” This was Wu Sheng.

”Bai Xinyue, how can you prove you’re Wu Sheng’s savior?” This was Su Li.

After speaking, Wu Sheng and Su Li glanced at each other, ignoring the crowd’s indignant muttering and focusing only on Bai Xinyue.

Bai Xinyue’s face filled with shame when she heard them.

”The one thing I, Bai Xinyue, have never lacked in my life is money! Wu Sheng, you’ve disappointed me so much. To think everything I did was all for nothing.”

She bit her pale lip and suddenly looked at Su Li.

”This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a savior having to prove themselves. Before, I was trying to be considerate. I told everyone to stay quiet because I was afraid of making things difficult for Wu Sheng. But I have to speak out today.”

”Yes, because of my own limitations, I wasn’t able to save Wu Sheng. But my eye was injured trying to save him!”

”At that time, Wu Sheng and Little Hei were in the tree. Little Hei lost his grip and fell, and Wu Sheng went to save him. I tried to grab them both, and that’s when my eye was injured.”

Bai Xinyue clutched her blind eye. ”I paid such a terrible price, yet I never imagined that instead of receiving a shred of gratitude, I would be insulted like this by you all!”

”Heartless monster!”

”Ungrateful wolf!”

The crowd, already indignant on Bai Xinyue’s behalf, became even more filled with righteous fury. The scene was on the verge of chaos.

Just then, a hoarse, youthful voice suddenly rose above the crowd.

”No! I didn’t lose my grip and fall... you pushed me.”
