Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043 Fate

Shang Kaiwen nervously pushed open the door to Bai Jingshan’s office. She had come more than once, and each time she did, her emotions were stirred.

The vast empire of Bai Jingshan would stir feelings of greed in her heart.

Although this man was old enough to be her father! Yet he was single, and a bachelor of such stature was like a diamond bachelor. If she became Bai Jingshan’s wife, wouldn’t the Bai Group be at her fingertips?

Would the Shang Family still need to struggle so hard?

Day by day, she found herself sinking into this fantasy, wanting to capture this man’s heart.

How could Wang Ruo’an possibly compare to Bai Jingshan? They were people of two different weights. Although Jiang Shaoqing was the love of her life, he was just a pitfall. No matter how infatuated she was with him, this man’s heart was like stone.

After he treated her so mercilessly, all her infatuation had turned into hatred.

The kind of hatred that, even if she couldn’t have him, she wanted to destroy him.

In her life, there were very few people she hated, the first being Bai Xiao, the second being Jiang Shaoqing. Bai Xiao was soon to perish, but dealing with Jiang Shaoqing required power, and now Bai Jingshan was that power, the power that could make her overlook the world.

"Mr. Bai, I’ve found some clues recently and brought them for you to see."

This was her only excuse and reason to get close to Bai Jingshan.

Bai Jingshan gestured calmly, his attitude gentle. This man was a broad-minded man, and of course, he exhibited even more gentlemanly mannerisms with women. "Miss Shang, come, have a seat. Get Miss Shang a cup of coffee."

Bai Jingshan stood up and accompanied Shang Kaiwen to the sofa, but he sat alone on one side, leaving Shang Kaiwen on the other side, which left Shang Kaiwen feeling a bit disappointed inside.

The man’s actions already indicated that he had no interest in her.

"Mr. Bai, you’re too polite. Here are some materials, take a look." She took out the materials from her delicate handbag, stood up, and placed them in front of Bai Jingshan, taking the opportunity to sit beside him.

Bai Jingshan’s eyes flickered.

The smile on his lips didn’t change.

He picked up the stack of documents.

"Here is the list of all the sent-down educated youth near the village back then. Regardless of whether they were sent-down youths or others sent down, apart from the fifteen who have passed away, the addresses of all the rest after returning to the city are here. If I remember correctly, about 60 people returned to Modu alone.

Among these people, after excluding the males, there were approximately 45 female educated youths, and currently, there are roughly ten returned educated youths in Modu. The remaining ones are spread in different places. The next task is to go to each doorstep and have them identify this Jade Pendant. You should quickly find the person you’re looking for."

Bai Jingshan was taken aback. He had sent people to do a lot of this work, but they couldn’t do it in such detail. Yet, he didn’t expect the girl in front of him, to cater to his preferences, found relationships to achieve this.

Their difficulty was due to the lack of data, plus everything back then was through correspondence. After returning to the city, it was challenging to trace many people’s orders locally.

Not to mention that after many people returned to the city, everyone’s circumstances would become elusive.

The obstacles his investigators encountered were due to the fact that many people wouldn’t disclose their whereabouts.

It seemed that this girl had used some methods.

The Shang Family wasn’t as impoverished as rumored.

"If it’s convenient for you, could I take a photo of this Jade Pendant? I’ll send someone with the photo to make inquiries, and it should lead to a swift conclusion. Of course, if you agree." Shang Kaiwen couldn’t help but lean in, opening the documents in her hand and pointing, her soft body slightly leaning into Bai Jingshan’s arm, her chest within his line of sight.

Bai Jingshan nodded, "Miss Shang, thank you for these materials. I’ll have my people take care of the rest. I understand the favor you’ve done me. Once I find the person, Miss Shang, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me. I can help you once."

Shang Kaiwen’s heart skipped a beat.

She wasn’t looking for a favor.

"Mr. Bai, what are these words you’re saying? I’m helping you purely out of admiration for your character. My father also had an experience of being sent down, and many people got separated during that era. I have a sister who now harbors deep hatred against our family because, during that time, due to historical reasons, my father left her and her mother there.

So I understand the determination and sentiment you have in seeking out people from that era to make amends for regrets."

Shang Kaiwen started the conversation, not because she sought a favor from Bai Jingshan.

A favor, once repaid, ceases to be a connection.

"Oh, I didn’t expect your father to be a sent-down youth back then?"

This piece of information aroused some shared feelings in Bai Jingshan, as too many similar cases occurred in that era.

"Yes, Mr. Bai, it’s quite the coincidence. The Liupan Village where the person you’re looking for is also where my father was assigned. My half-sister grew up there."

This managed to pique Bai Jingshan’s interest, which was a good way to open a conversation.

"That’s really fate; I never expected that your father served in Liupan Village too. I wasn’t in Liupan Village myself, but I wasn’t far from there. Has your half-sister been brought back now?" Bai Jingshan couldn’t help but lower his guard.

Bringing up past events often elicited a sense of empathy.

Shang Kaiwen sighed, her face full of entanglement, "Mr. Bai, it really is a coincidence. My sister is also named Bai, but she hates our family deeply, refusing to acknowledge she is a child of the Shang Family. My father even fell seriously ill because of this, as over the years, he harbored guilt towards her.

However, my sister became a doctor and doesn’t acknowledge us at all."

Speaking of Bai Xiao, Shang Kaiwen recalled her own dreams.

She didn’t know when it started, but she constantly dreamed about Bai Xiao, dreams where Bai Xiao wasn’t as cold as she seemed in reality. In those dreams, Bai Xiao depended on her, almost meeting every request. Although always fragmented and often unclear, she just knew Bai Xiao and she shouldn’t be like this.

There was even a time when she saw Bai Xiao treating someone with a silver needle, but for some reason, the silver needle seemed fake. Instinctively, she just knew Bai Xiao wasn’t using a silver needle, but what Bai Xiao was using, she didn’t know.

The dream didn’t provide her with an answer.

Sometimes she wondered if it was just a case of daydreaming, dreaming at night, that she so desperately wanted Bai Xiao under her control. noveldrama

Now, with Bai Xiao being at odds with her, she couldn’t be blamed for intentionally discrediting her.

If she wouldn’t contribute to the Shang Family, she might as well die.
