Chapter 323: Chapter 323: View with New Respect

Fu Han saw Bai Wei in a new light for the first time, never expecting such a delicate-looking young girl to have such a fierce side. It was truly eye-opening.

On the contrary, Bai Wei was exceptionally calm, "Well... as a child, my favorite thing to do every day was catching little animals to keep as pets."

"You kept toads as pets?" Fu Han’s eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Bai Wei like she was looking at an alien.

"Not just toads. I’ve also kept mice, snakes, earthworms, and such," Bai Wei said with an indifference as if discussing everyday meals.

Fu Han felt the veins on her forehead throbbing, "So, did those little animals live long? Did you... keep them alive?"

"Oh, let’s not talk about that," Bai Wei said nonchalantly, waving her hand dismissively as she continued to walk ahead, "I really took care of them with all my heart, but they seemed not to adapt to the wonderful life I arranged for them, and they all died. Later, my parents thought it wasn’t right and strictly forbade me from catching little animals anymore."

Listening to Bai Wei’s tone, it seemed like she regretted not being able to catch "toads," "snakes," and "mice" anymore, but Fu Han felt her veins throb at the mention of these words, wishing she could keep her ears far from Bai Wei.

When they finally crawled out of the underbrush, they were faced with a factory whose doors were wide open. Looking inside from the doors, perhaps due to the darkness, the interior was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Fu Han had originally charged forward with determination, but for some reason, she suddenly began to have cold feet. She kept feeling that something dangerous lurked in the depthless darkness, like a hidden monster waiting to pounce.

She turned to Bai Wei, "Um, should we... should we go back?"

Bai Wei, who was sending her location, didn’t even lift her head as she replied irritably, "You realize now that rushing out recklessly was foolish? Feeling regret now?"

Fu Han relentlessly teased Bai Wei, showing no sign of shutting up. She felt overwhelmed and as if she was being forced into a corner like a hero out of desperation, with no choice but to stake everything on a final stand.

She shook off the cowardly look on her face and said angrily, "Who said I regret it? I’m just worried that if something happens, you’ll get dragged down by me. I don’t regret anything. I wish I could give Xia Ning a good thrashing."

"It’s said that ’It’s better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage,’ but I also think that Xia Ning’s actions are really too much." Perhaps influenced by the toad, Bai Wei showed no fear whatsoever, instead encouraging Fu Han, "You’ve come all this way through all sorts of hardships, and now you’re at the doorstep, just when you can teach someone a lesson. How can you leave without accomplishing anything?"

Fu Han, despite feeling that Bai Wei’s fervor was somewhat unreliable, still hadn’t vented her own fury, filled with anger herself.

"You’re right. Let’s go settle the score with Xia Ning together." Fu Han hesitated no longer, taking the lead and heading toward the factory, shouting Xia Ning’s name, "Xia Ning, I know you’re here. Come out, come on out."

She strode boldly into the factory entrance, heading inside, when suddenly Bai Wei’s sharp voice rang out, "Watch out, dodge quickly!"

Fu Han instinctively ducked, clearly feeling something like a stick brush past her scalp. At the same time, her calf was struck hard, causing her to cry out in pain, nearly bursting into tears.

The next second, another gust of wind hit her, and this time Fu Han saw clearly. It was Xia Cheng and Xia Ning, the siblings hiding behind the door attempting a sneak attack.

She knew she’d likely fallen into a trap, but now wasn’t the time to think about that. The immediate priority was how she and Bai Wei could make their escape.

To avoid being hit by the sticks again, Fu Han rolled around on the ground in a most embarrassed manner. Although she successfully dodged, her cream-colored hoodie had become filthy.

Meanwhile, Bai Wei, having found a rusty iron rod from somewhere, charged forward, determined to protect Fu Han.

Xia Cheng and Xia Ning had already failed twice, and they were desperate, knowing they had to succeed today. Otherwise, if they let them escape, they themselves would be in big trouble.

"Let’s take care of Bai Wei first," Xia Cheng bellowed, feeling no qualms about a man hitting a woman or about being unfair by outnumbering their opponents. He took the lead, followed by Xia Ning, charging towards Bai Wei.

Bai Wei had few practical chances to fight, after all, as the pampered only daughter in her family, she rarely had the opportunity to fight.

The only experience she had was the guidance from the martial arts teacher during filming; regrettably, the teacher’s guidance was ornamental but impractical. Moreover, she was holding an iron rod that had been decaying for years, weakened by wind and sun, its interior already rotten.

After struggling through a couple of moves, her iron rod broke, not just snapped in half, but shattered into several pieces, leaving her without a chance to even show off a bit of staff-fighting flair.

"Ah!"

A cry of agony rang out as Xia Ning struck Bai Wei on the back with the stick, knocking her flat to the ground and motionless.

With that last blow, Xia Ning had given it her all. Many thought she only resented Fu Han, but they did not know she also despised Bai Wei.

If not for Bai Wei, she would have been the lead in "Yearn for Return." Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life. Although the film was a great success, Xia Ning, who played the vicious supporting character, was not well-received.

Xia Ning watched as Bai Wei’s career soared from this movie, with many good scripts coming her way, while she herself got hardly any desirable roles. The ones approaching her were all for the second female lead, each more malicious than the last. At this rate, she was going to become synonymous with the term vicious woman.

Naturally, Xia Ning treated Bai Wei, who played the leading lady, as her enemy. This was why when Xia Cheng eyed Bai Wei, she was willing to help. If they could tarnish Bai Wei’s reputation, Xia Ning would naturally have a chance to take her place.

As Bai Wei lay on the ground, her fate uncertain, Xia Ning smiled. Clutching a piece of wood, she charged toward Fu Han.

Fu Han watched helplessly as Bai Wei lay there, not knowing whether she was alive or dead, her heart filled with sorrow and anger, but the excruciating pain in her feet left her unable to move, only able to watch as the Xia siblings approached.

Her hand scraped the ground in desperation, and as they got closer, she swung her hand forcefully, throwing sand at the faces of Xia Ning and Xia Cheng.

Taken by surprise, both had sand in their eyes, screaming in pain. Instinctively, they rubbed their eyes with the backs of their hands, but this only drove the sand deeper, inflicting even more damage.
