Chapter 114: Strange Dreams

There was only one thought in Lin Bai’s mind, and that was: ‘Do I still want to work with Soaring Phoenix Real Estate?’

That question had been running through Lin Bai’s mind countless times, but he still had no answer.

Just like that, he was distracted for a few hours until the lights went out in the dormitory. Lin Bai lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. His heart was still filled with conflict.

Ling Xuewei’s vision and judgment were truly rare.

If she were to purely consider it from the perspective of interests, she was undoubtedly the best partner.

However, she had injured Sun Xiaogang’s parents, causing Sun Xiaogang’s family to almost be destroyed.

Although both parties were responsible for the accident, the attitude of the man in a suit who represented her was really disgusting.

Under such circumstances, Lin Bai would feel bad if he still cooperated with her.

Lin Bai asked himself, if he were in a different place; if his parents were injured and hospitalized, and his good friend turned to cooperate with the driver that caused the accident, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

“Maybe I should forget it. Soaring Phoenix Real Estate isn’t the only company in S City. It’s the same if I find someone else to work with.”

“I’m not short of money now anyway. There’s no need to rush this. The feelings of my close friend are more important.”

Lin Bai finally made a decision in his heart.

His mind relaxed, and sleepiness swept over him like a tide.

He fell asleep in a daze, and the world spun around him.

In the dilapidated farmhouse, a man who reeked of alcohol punched and kicked the thin woman.

The woman was curled up on the ground and had no strength to resist.

She would only groan in pain when the punches and kicks landed on her body.

A little girl who looked like she was only four or five years old ran out of the house crying and grabbed the man’s sleeve and shouted,

“Daddy! Don’t hit Mommy anymore!”

The man pushed her hard. “Get lost! Money-losing goods!”

The little girl was flung away and hit the wall heavily. She immediately fainted.

Lin Bai was furious and wanted to teach the man a lesson but as soon as he thought about it, the scene in front of him blurred instantly.

A moment later, the scene turned into a country road shrouded in darkness.

The woman with a bruised face limped out.

The little girl followed behind pitifully and begged softly over and over again, “Mommy, can you take me with you? Take me with you, Mommy!”

The woman’s tears were streaming down her face, but her speed was getting faster and faster.

The little girl chased after her with her short legs, but she tripped over a rock when she wasn’t paying attention.

She was in so much pain that she cried, but she didn’t dare to make too much noise for fear of attracting the villagers’ attention.

The woman listened to her suppressed sobs and hardened up to continue walking forward. In the end, she could not bear it and returned to the little girl’s side.

“Xue, I don’t even know where I can go. I really can’t take you with me. Stop crying and go home obediently.”

The little girl looked at the woman with tears in her eyes and asked her, “Mommy, will I never see you again?”

The woman’s tears gushed out and she hugged her tightly for a long, long time.

It was so long that the little girl thought she didn’t have to separate from her mother, but she was forced to leave the warm embrace.

“Xue, put this away. Don’t lose it.”

The woman took off the pendant hanging around her neck and stuffed it into the girl’s hand.

“When you grow up, take this and go outside to find me.”

“No matter how many years have passed, no matter what you look like when you grow up, as long as I see this, I will recognize you…”

“Go back quickly, listen to your father and grandmother, eat well, grow up quickly, and when you grow up, go look for your mother.”

The woman cried so hard that she could not continue.

The little girl gripped the pendant in her hand tightly and asked, “Then when I grow up, where will I find you?”

The woman did not answer. She got up and walked away with tears in her eyes.

The little girl rolled and crawled after her, eager to get an answer but this time, the woman was no longer soft-hearted.

She disappeared into the darkness without looking back.

The little girl held the pendant and muttered, “Mommy, Mommy…”

The tears fell on the pendant, soaking the strange and repetitive lines.

At a certain moment, there seemed to be a flash of white light on the pendant, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

The little girl was immersed in her sorrow and did not notice anything strange about the pendant.

But Lin Bai did.

He recognized that special pattern.

Because he had seen it before.

At the Sotheby’s auction.

On the Mayan stone slab that was worth three billion!

A strong fluctuation of emotions caused Lin Bai to instantly wake up from his sleep.

He sat up abruptly and looked at the surroundings in the bedroom under the moonlight. Only then did he realize that everything that had just happened was a dream.

But why did he suddenly have such a strange dream?

Was it an unseen force trying to hint at something to him?

The little girl in the dream seemed to be called Xue. This seemed to be the only clue.

However, this name was too common. Just a casual shout from the road could cause countless people to turn their heads.

Finding the little girl in the dream with the name alone was more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Then what other clues were there?

Lin Bai tried hard to recall the scene in the dream, trying to find the corresponding location in reality through the scenery in the dream.

Even if he only locked down a rough area, it would make it much easier to find someone.

However, the scene in the dream was too blurry. He couldn’t even remember what the little girl and her mother’s faces looked like.

Only the small pendant and the gorgeous and complicated patterns on it were still extremely clear in Lin Bai’s mind.

At this moment, Lin Bai’s phone suddenly vibrated slightly.

A message came in.

Who would send a message in the middle of the night?

Lin Bai instinctively felt that it should be a push from the Future News app.

After unlocking his phone, he guessed correctly.

The news headline was:

“Crazy woman wants to acknowledge her relatives, claiming to be the mother of the CEO of Soaring Phoenix Real Estate.”

Lin Bai looked at the title and his mind buzzed. He instantly understood who the girl named Xue in his dream was!

That was Ling Xuewei when she was young!

He quickly clicked on the news and read it carefully.

The more he read, the sadder he felt.

It turned out that Ling Xuewei’s mother could not stand domestic violence. After she ran away in the middle of the night, she was quickly cheated out of her travel expenses and could only wander about.

During her days of wandering, she suffered countless humiliations. Slowly, her mental state began to become abnormal. Sometimes she was clear-headed and sometimes she was muddle-headed.

After going crazy, she completely lost the ability to work and earn a living. She could only rely on scavenging to barely support herself.

This kind of life lasted for more than twenty years yntil not long ago, when she was collecting trash, she received a magazine.

The woman on the cover of the magazine was Ling Xuewei..
