Chu Yin’s question made Sarah laugh directly.
She let out a chuckle.
"I thought you would ask me how I turned from a man into a woman."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi: You’re more straightforward.
Chu Yin smiled: "It’s just a personal choice, your gender doesn’t matter much to me."
She thought to herself: Not being male or female is what’s scary.
Sarah looked at the two for a long time, then had someone help her sit up against the pillow.
She took off the necklace around her neck and touched it.
"The word father feels very foreign to me."
"I don’t know how you view this relationship. At least from my perspective, my mom doesn’t love him, he doesn’t love my mom, and neither of them loves me."
Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin were taken aback.
Impossible?
Compared to other secret illegitimate children, Sarah at least had a mother with a decent background.
Sarah continued: "They had me just to keep each other in check, to ensure the Bai Family’s business could be protected here, while my mom needed a lot of funds to maintain her status."
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t discern Sarah’s tone, always feeling like she was talking about something unrelated to herself.
She tentatively asked: "Did anything happen with them towards you?"
Sarah’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
Then, she sneered again.
"Probably to groom me as an heir by forcing me to get involved. At ten years old, it was the first time I fired a gun."
Chu Yin’s eyes widened.
Age ten is when you get into mischief, but not this kind of mischief.
Chu Yin looked at Sarah, feeling her collapse within her expression.
In fact, she too had felt this kind of collapse.
Obviously, parents didn’t love her, yet they liked to force her into doing things she disliked.
Automatically, Chu Yin said: "Sarah, this isn’t your fault."
These were once words Lin Zhiyi gave her.
Now, she gave them to Sarah.
Sarah gazed steadily at Chu Yin, propping her chin slightly.
"No one has ever said those words to me. My mom and he think I’m too sensitive, too timid, unfit for big responsibilities."
"My mom trained me through all sorts of things and over time, everyone thought it was my fault."
"Since then, I’ve let myself loose, started resisting, and became my true self."
She twirled her long hair, with a touch of charm.
Her face also showed less melancholy.
But Lin Zhiyi remembered Ren Xiya said his mischief was to attract Bai Laoye’s attention.
It showed he still held some expectations towards his father.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t rush to express her thoughts.
Sarah seemed to see through her mind and smiled faintly.
"Before the surgery, I did hope that man would save me like a father, protect me, but he thought my mom’s upbringing was a failure, causing me to turn out like that."
"What feelings could I have for such a man? Any feelings have long since been worn away, opposing him is nothing new."
Lin Zhiyi curiously asked: "What else did you do later?"
"I intercepted his goods; on the Jing City cruise you didn’t act, I would have. He wanted to use the Gong Family as a backer, but I wouldn’t play along. I’ve long been fed up with their dirty business."
"What!" Lin Zhiyi exclaimed.
Sarah curiously asked: "What’s wrong? Any problem?"
Lin Zhiyi shook her head: "No, just curious how you planned to stop the Bai Family cruise."
"When they reached international waters, hire some professionals, with money anything is possible. But..."
