Chapter 52 The Leftover Oil Painting

Bai Wenxi was so anxious that she got out of bed and wanted to go see her husband. "Which ward is he in? I have to go see him."

Su Yuning quickly supported her frail waist. "Sister Wen, don't push yourself. The doctor said you need to rest. Your injuries are no less serious than his."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. "If I had known you would encounter so many dangers, I would have stopped you no matter what!"

Bai Wenxi gently wiped the tears from her sister's face and whispered to comfort her. "I'm sorry. I made you worry."

"But I don't regret this trip because I found out about Yao Chunmei's conspiracy against the Bai family."

Thinking of her father's exhortation before he left, Su Yuning quickly said, "Who was tracking you? Dad has already reported the case to the police and asked them to intervene. I knew something was wrong when I heard that gunshot."

"It must be a professional gunman. Moreover, his skill in covering his tracks is very good. Only a trained person could do it."

Bai Wenxi thought for a while and then asked, "Can that gunman be caught?"

Su Yuning hesitated and then brought a glass of warm water. "It's probably very difficult. After you fell off the cliff, when we rushed to the scene, this person had already disappeared."

Bai Wenxi took the glass and drank it all in one gulp. Her knuckles turned white because she was holding the glass too tightly.

She still lifted the quilt, constantly worried about Jiang BeiHuai's injury.

Su Yuning quickly stopped her and pressed her back onto the pillow. "Sister Wen, please calm down. He is also resting and hasn't woken up yet."

"Taking good care of your own body is the best reward for Brother - in - law." Yuning thought for a while and then mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Wen, I think Brother - in - law really likes you. When we found you, he was still trying his best to hold you up."

"When they were treating him, he would unconsciously call your name."

Bai Wenxi didn't want to discuss the topic of love at this moment. She only cared about whether Jiang BeiHuai's body was okay.

Su Yuning filled another glass of warm water. "Sister, drink some water to moisten your throat."

"Yao Chunmei should have known I went to Moon Island. She called me and wanted to borrow the art museum as a venue." Bai Wenxi tried to move her injured leg and found that she could move it a little.

"Finding that I wasn't there, she coerced and lured. Manager Li must have told her."

Su Yuning was really impressed by her. She was so seriously injured but still thinking about Yao Chunmei's affairs.

She quickly wet a hot towel and handed it to Bai Wenxi, then brought a small dining table and set it up on the hospital bed.

"Sister Wen, drink some porridge to nourish your stomach first." The servant had already cooked the refreshing porridge and sent it over. Su Yuning opened it, and the temperature was just right.

She eagerly served a bowl and placed it on the small dining table.

Bai Wenxi was filled with emotions. Thinking of her father's mysterious death and the dejected words in the diary, her hatred for Yao Chunmei deepened a lot.

Su Yuning saw that her sister was silent and seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable low mood. Her nose unconsciously turned red, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Sister Wen, I'm begging you. Stop caring about those things. Isn't it good to live a peaceful life with Brother - in - law?"

Su Yuning had always been hating herself. Why didn't she do her best to stop her sister when she knew she was going to Moon Island?

She clearly knew that the person her sister was going to deal with was Yao Chunmei, a venomous beauty snake, but she still took a chance and let her take this step alone.

Thinking of her father scolding her, Su Yuning didn't feel wronged at all. She just regretted that she hadn't protected her sister well.

Bai Wenxi knew Su Yuning's guilt. She held her sister's hand and was ready to tell her everything.

"I've hidden a lot of things from you before because I didn't want you to worry and didn't want to involve you in the dirty troubles."

After going through life - and - death with Jiang BeiHuai on Moon Island, Bai Wenxi also tried to reconcile with herself in her heart.

Being overly stubborn is of no help to personal growth. Sometimes it may even hurt the relatives who care about you.

She told everything in detail. As she listened, Su Yuning's mood fluctuated like a roller - coaster.

"Yao Chunmei is so bold. Does she know that what she's doing is illegal?"

Su Yuning scratched her head, extremely puzzled. "I've worked in the art museum with Uncle for so long. If he already knew Yao Chunmei's true nature, he couldn't have been completely unprepared."

She knew that Bai Zhongxun was a very meticulous and conscientious person. So it was hard for her to imagine that a successful middle - aged man like him would ignore the trouble beside him.

Bai Wenxi rested her chin on her hand and thought. She also thought that her father wouldn't be a fool who raised a tiger to court disaster. Moreover, with Yao Chunmei's current looks, she wasn't at the level of bewitching people.

"Since he had already found out that she was a woman who embezzled property, why did Dad still continue to paint her portrait?"

Just thinking about this made Bai Wenxi angry. Especially after her father's death, Yao Chunmei only left her own personal portrait.

Su Yuning bit her lip and began to let her imagination run wild. "You were out all night that day. What about Bai Yunxi?"

Bai Wenxi said impatiently, "She was getting together with my former fiancé. She must not have gone home either."

Su Yuning thought the situation was getting very tricky. "That means Uncle was only with Yao Chunmei that night?"

"She said Uncle went out for a business dinner and died of drunk - driving." Su Yuning rolled her eyes. "Now it has been proven that she was just making things up. Those debts were clearly caused by her."

"Did she put the blame on Uncle to make him take the fall for her?"

Bai Wenxi felt that something was wrong. She thought carefully. "She wanted Dad to take the blame. At that time, the Bai family still had some money to help her pay off some debts. There was no need to tear up the relationship suddenly."

"Moreover, Dad was still painting her portrait that night..."

Su Yuning's expression was very intriguing. The corner of her mouth curled up. "Knowing that she was a troublemaker and still painting her portrait, Uncle couldn't have been so muddle - headed, could he?"

Bai Wenxi gently slapped her hand and scolded her. "Watch your mouth!"

"When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'm going back to the art museum to see the paintings Dad left behind."

Bai Wenxi hugged her knees with both hands and curled up into a ball. "The date marked on the oil painting was indeed the night of the accident, and it must be Dad's handwriting."

"Even if she wanted to fake it, she couldn't deceive my eyes."

Bai Wenxi still trusted her father in her heart. "I believe Dad wouldn't do something for no reason. He must have had his own intentions."

Su Yuning pushed the porridge bowl forward, her eyes sharp. "With me watching, you should drink the porridge quickly."

"Dad has already said that my current task is to watch over you and make you recover your health."

She raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully. "Just rest at ease. I'll tell you as soon as Brother - in - law wakes up!"
