Chapter 766 - 767: The World Has Changed
"This world has always been like this, there are those who do good deeds and those who do evil.
Some live, while others die.
Some seem righteous and can attract others with their grandiose speeches, while others who are genuinely kindhearted are constantly oppressed by life.
But this is how the world works, and all we can do is stand firm in our convictions and strive to be good people.
One day, we will see the hypocrites exposed for who they truly are, and the evil ones facing legal sanctions, just like Bai Yuejie and Bai Zhengyuan."
Tang Huai Zhang held his wife, "Bai Yuejie survived, but given her previous health conditions, how long can she continue to live? When she wakes up, she will see how her mother was killed by her father who broke the law to save himself, and how her stepfather also ended up in prison because of her. Living this way, she may not find happiness."
"Stepfather?"
"Liu Kang."
Tang Huai Zhang sighed softly, "Bai Zhengyuan and Liu Kang were classmates, both fell in love with the same girl named Yun Wenwan. But Yun Wenwan fell in love with Bai Zhengyuan. However, Bai Zhengyuan’s family disapproved of their relationship, so they separated. Eventually, Bai Zhengyuan married Meng Yue, but who would have thought that Bai Yuejie was not Meng Yue’s daughter, but the daughter of Yun Wenwan and Bai Zhengyuan."
Jian Yun had heard a bit about this secret and asked, "So that’s why Liu Kang has always been by Bai Yuejie’s side?"
Tang Huai Zhang nodded, "That must be the reason."
Jian Yun felt a strange mix of emotions, "It’s so foolish. If he was a classmate of Bai Zhengyuan, he must have graduated from Imperial University, right? How could someone like that be content with being a butler... What a pity."
"Everyone has their own sense of contentment, perhaps he found joy in it?"

These days, the hospital was all abuzz about Bai Yuejie’s situation.
Everyone thought that Bai Yuejie was beyond saving.
Unexpectedly, a turn of events led to finding a heart that was a perfect match—such luck was truly once in a millennium.
However, right after Bai Yuejie woke up, she found the world had changed.
Her mother was dead, killed by her father.
When Bai Yuejie first heard this news in a daze, she was stunned, thinking she was still not fully awake.
How could that be?
The marriage of Bai Zhengyuan was famously loving, even though there had been a disagreement recently due to her background, she believed that eventually, Meng Yue’s character would lead her to compromise.
How could it have come to this?
And the ever-dutiful butler who had always been by her side was nowhere to be found; according to the servants, it was because he had committed a crime. All along, acting as a butler was his way of hiding his identity in the underworld, smuggling and committing all kinds of violent acts behind the scenes.
Now Bai Zhengyuan and Uncle Liu had been taken into custody, and any slight discovery could lead to imprisonment for both.
This involved Meng Yue’s life and a series of underworld activities that were being unearthed... it might even result in a life sentence, or worse... the death penalty.
When Bai Yuejie heard this, she nearly had a second heart attack; it was only after extensive emergency treatment that she pulled through the critical period.
Shortly after she regained consciousness, police came to conduct an investigation.
Lying in her bed, Bai Yuejie answered their questions, naturally, she knew nothing about any of it.
