Chapter 626 A One-for-One Exchange
However, no matter how twisted the rumors got, they never involved Rainy and her, which showed how little their existence meant. However, she was still worried that this incident would still implicate them in the end so she fetched Rainy home from school and tried not to go out anymore. As for Gao Yi, she did not need to worry about him for now as Bai Luoyin was already in prison. No one could administer drugs on him, and he was also still in police custody so-naturallynothing would happen to him.
Moreover, her status now was pretty sensitive so it was better to wait for the incident to die down first. Also, when she told Gao Yi about this incident, Gao Yi told her not to contact him first and to ignore the Bai family. Even though she did not know what he meant, but she knew what she had to do. All in all, Gao Yi would never harm her.
These few days, she and Rainy stayed at home to the best that they could—rarely even leaving the house-while the news from the outside was brought to her by Madam Mei Fu.
All the news was circulating around the Bai family, but there was rarely any mention of Gao Xin and Wei Lan-let alone her.
Xia Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief as it should be fine. However, for Gao Yi, the trouble had just begun. She could just imagine how much havoc the Bai family was going to wreck when Bai Zhenfeng returned.
She was afraid he could not get past Bai Zhenfeng.


Her phone rang all of a sudden. She walked over and picked up the phone; on the other end was a very familiar voice: it was Gao Yi’s. Could he call already?
Hello.
She placed her phone beside her ear. Not long after, there was indeed a familiar voice.

Ruoxin, it’s me.


Gao Yi…
Xia Ruoxin was anxious and almost shouted out loud. She resisted her feelings and hurriedly asked,
How is it? Are you okay?


I am inside the hospital.
Gao Yi shifted his phone from the left ear to the right.
I was only allowed to interact with the outside world recently, but I think I will start kicking the drug addiction soon.

Xia Ruoxin did not know what to say to comfort him. Rehabilitation… Would it be easy?
Gao Yi was a doctor himself, and he knew how confident he was very clear. However, at this moment, the emotionless sentence revealed his true thoughts. He had no confidence, and even he did not know if he could make it through the days where death was better than living. Even after that period, he would still have to carry the scar for life.
After one was addicted to drugs, they would remember the feeling of temptation and suffering for their whole life.

Ruoxin…
Gao Yi spoke softly.

Thank you.

With that ‘thank you’—all of a sudden, tears started to well up in Xia Ruoxin’s eyes; but none of them dropped.


It was not because she was not sad, but it was because she did not know how to be sad anymore.

I will stay here for a little while more. Don’t worry about me. If anyone comes to look for you, don’t care about them.
Gao Yi turned over and saw that outside the window, it was a sunny day. Just that, where he was—he laughed bitterly-was a jail that was arranged specially for him. Bai Luoyin would have to spend the rest of her life in this cage, facing the darkness alone.
Xia Ruoxin agreed to what he said one by one, but until now, she still did not know who Gao Yi was referring to. She did not know many people here so not many people would come knocking on her door.
However, all she needed to know was that Gao Yi was fine, and he could focus on recovery now.
She believed Gao Yi and knew that if he wanted to see her or if she could see him, they would definitely meet in the end.
When Rainy went to school, she was left all alone in the place. After she hung upsuddenly, she had a feeling of unspeakable loneliness.
She only wished that he could recover peacefully.
She thought all good guys would have a peaceful life.
However, how could such a nice guy not get the peace he deserved? He would definitely get it, right?
She did not put whatever Gao Yi said about someone looking for her to heart until not long later, she had a guest at her house. She then finally understood what he meant.


It turned out that he had already thought of this.
To a certain extent, Gao Yi and Chu Lui were very similar as they both were calculative. The only difference was that Chu Lui was used to calculating, but Gao Yi did not like to do it. However, not liking did not mean that he did not know how, he would not, or he could not; it only meant that he was not willing

I have something to tell you,
Bai Zhenfeng said truthfully. He was supposed to come to beg other people, but his posture did not show that he was seeking help at all. He was too used to commanding and demanding and completely forgot about his own manners.
The person sitting in front of her was not her business rival, not her colleague, and to be harsh—could be considered as her enemy.
It was a pity that Xia Ruoxin’s looks were on the gentle feminine side, and to a certain extent, she was easy to bully. However, under her naive exterior, she had a heart that did not give in easily.

Please say it, Mr. Bai.
Xia Ruoxin was still polite, but Bai Zhenfeng showed a look of embarrassment.

Go look for Gao Yi and tell him to take the rap for the incident and let Luoyin come home.


Sorry, Mr. Bai, I don’t really understand.
Xia Ruoxin was still smiling, but anyone could tell what her smile meant at this point.
Sarcasm, shamelessness, mockery, and hatred.
Did he not say that he treated them like his own usually? However, when it came to the point where his own daughter was in trouble, who was biological and who was not could be known in an instant. It was true; everyone loved their own children. This was undeniable, but he had no right to push the responsibility to other people’s children so righteously and make it seem as if the one who was in the wrong suffered.


She knew this and understood it, but understanding did not mean acceptance. If Bai Luoyin had done these things back home, she would have been executed a long time ago. Her crime of hiding drugs was enough to warrant her a death sentence, let alone her crime of harming others. How could Bai Zhenfeng expect Gao Yi to take the rap for all of these?
How could there be such a good deal in the world? If he wanted Bai Luoyin to come back, then Gao Yi would have to take the rap. Ignoring whether he could even take the rap in the first place, even if he could and the person imprisoned became Gao Yi, and although she was not familiar with the local law; Gao Yi was a famous doctor. Regardless of his jail term, his criminal records would bar him from being a doctor.
Bai Zhenfeng knew those outcomes very clearly, but he still said it. How could he think, how could he say… how could he even dare?
Seeing Xia Ruoxin in silence, Bai Zhenfeng got a bit upset; and his hand seemed as if it wanted to punch someone.
If you could convince Gao Yi, I’ll give you whatever you want. My Bai family’s fortune, money, house… car—you name it.
