All the Female Protagonists Who Have Been Saved Have Become Obsessed [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 51.2

Zhou Xi looked at Beixia in disbelief.

“Why?” she asked.

Beixia bit her lower lip tightly. “My uncle said he has 150,000 yuan left and will give it all to me as a settlement fee, so let’s drop the lawsuit.”

Zhou Xi took a deep breath and asked, “I’m asking why? You need to give me a reason. Beixia, I know you’re not after the money.”

Beixia sadly lowered her head and said honestly, “My uncle said he has my parents’ belongings.”

Zhou Xi’s brows furrowed. She said, “Beixia, tell me exactly what Bei Dawei said, word for word.”

Beixia said, “He said before the plane accident, my parents left a message. Since he handled everything after their accident, the airline gave him their things.”

“Then why is he only bringing it up now?” Zhou Xi asked, puzzled.

Beixia said sadly, “He said the message included details about the family’s assets, and he didn’t want me to know, so he never gave it to me.”

Zhou Xi was speechless, unable to believe someone could be so despicable!

Beixia lowered her head, her eyes red. At that moment, she was just a helpless person.

“He said if we drop the lawsuit, he’ll give me the remaining 150,000 yuan and my parents’ belongings.”

Zhou Xi took a deep breath, feeling a burning pain in her lungs, furious at Bei Dawei’s vileness.

She touched Beixia’s head, pressing it against her shoulder.

“Don’t cry, Beixia. This isn’t your fault. I know those things mean a lot to you,” Zhou Xi paused, then said solemnly, “We’ll drop the lawsuit, Beixia!”

Beixia clutched Zhou Xi’s shirt, not crying but biting her lip hard. She swore this was the last time she’d tolerate Bei Dawei. The bond between them had been completely severed in these repeated conflicts.

Bei Dawei soon received a court text: the plaintiff had dropped the lawsuit. He took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Lei Hua was extremely unwilling. “Are we really giving it to her?”

“What do you know!” Bei Dawei snapped at her. “We’re lucky to get away with just this much!”

Lei Hua was shocked. “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t we agree not to give a single cent?”

Bei Dawei, with a headache, explained, “I asked the lawyer. We have little chance of winning this case. The only way is to get them to drop it. If we lose, we might have to pay more, and if we can’t pay, it could affect our kids.”

Hearing it might affect Bei Bing, Lei Hua immediately slapped Bei Dawei, demanding he explain.

When Bei Dawei said failing to pay could ruin their credit, making travel impossible and affecting Bei Bing’s schooling, Lei Hua wailed at Bei Bing, “I told you not to be so greedy, but you wouldn’t listen!”

Bei Dawei couldn’t stand her nagging. “If you’d treated Beixia better, would we be in this mess?”

Lei Hua argued with Bei Dawei, “What do you mean I didn’t treat her well? Didn’t I go through the same thing? What’s wrong with a girl doing some chores at home? She’ll just be married off anyway! We’d still have to pay for her dowry! I was doing it for your sake!”

Bei Dawei retorted, “You’re unreasonable.”

As they argued, they started fighting. Lei Hua scratched Bei Dawei’s face.

On Saturday, when Bei Dawei met Beixia with the items, the scratches on his face hadn’t faded. Beixia only glanced at him and asked, “Where’s the stuff?” She didn’t want to say a single extra word to him.

Bei Dawei handed over the items the airline had given him. Beixia opened the bag, saw familiar items, and her eyes reddened.

These were her parents’ belongings and their last words.

Bei Dawei said, “You’ll have to wait for the money. My wife put it in a fixed deposit, and it’s not due for another month. If we withdraw it now, we lose the interest. You’re not in a rush for money, so leave it with me for now.”

Seeing Beixia ignore him, Bei Dawei continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll transfer the money to you as soon as it’s due!”

Beixia checked the items, confirmed them, and said to Bei Dawei, “I always considered you my uncle because we’re so closely related. But from today, you’re not.”

Beixia took the items and left. Zhou Xi was waiting outside.

In the car, Beixia read her parents’ letters and sobbed uncontrollably.

In the letter, her mother explained everything—the family’s savings, the mortgage, how Beixia should live her life. She subtly mentioned Bei Dawei, telling Beixia to be strong and not trouble her uncle, as if her mother had foreseen this situation.

Her father’s letter had only one sentence.

[Mom and Dad love you.]

Beixia cried until her eyes were swollen, nearly fainting.

Zhou Xi looked at her worriedly. Beixia, struggling, handed her mother’s letter to Zhou Xi and said, “Can this message be used as evidence to arrest Bei Dawei?”

Zhou Xi nodded firmly.

Bei Dawei’s only mistake was his ignorance of the law. He didn’t know a handwritten will could serve as evidence to charge him with misappropriating others’ property.

By hiding Beixia’s parents’ belongings, Bei Dawei had completely enraged her. She would show no mercy.

Two months later, Bei Dawei was detained for misappropriating others’ property, awaiting trial.

Lei Hua cried her eyes out, but no amount of pleading with Beixia worked. Beixia was determined to deal with Bei Dawei.

When Bei Dawei’s trial began, Beixia was entering the college entrance exam, about to end her high school life.

On exam day, Zhou Xi was more nervous than Beixia.

She barely slept, woke up, and kept reminding Beixia about this and that, fearing Beixia might get sick from outside food. She even cooked herself, having learned a couple of dishes during this time.

After breakfast, Zhou Xi drove Beixia to the exam center, waiting outside with other anxious parents.

June’s weather was full summer, the sun blazing so brightly it was hard to open one’s eyes.

Zhou Xi sat in her car, restless.

The TV station’s work group was assigning tasks for a college entrance exam hotline, but Zhou Xi had no interest. Knowing she had a high school examinee at home, her boss approved her two-day leave without hesitation.

When the morning exam ended, Zhou Xi stood outside her car early, holding water, waiting for Beixia. She remembered Teacher Zhao’s advice not to ask anything exam-related. Beixia came out looking relaxed.

Zhou Xi drove home to cook, letting Beixia rest. This time, Beixia didn’t argue, knowing Zhou Xi was nervous.

After lunch and a rest, Zhou Xi drove Beixia back to the exam center.

Seeing the massive crowds on the way, Zhou Xi was glad Beixia’s exam center was close.

The two days passed quickly, and Beixia finally finished all her exams.

Not only were the students exhausted, but the parents were too. Zhou Xi could finally sleep soundly.

The next morning, before Zhou Xi could ask about Beixia’s results, a system announced in her ear, “Congratulations, host, mission completed. Do you choose to detach?”

Zhou Xi was stunned and said, “So soon?”

The system repeated, “Do you choose to detach?”

Zhou Xi said, “Detach directly? What happens to this world?”

Having spent so much time with Beixia, Zhou Xi felt reluctant. Hearing the system say the mission was complete felt surreal.

The system said, “You’ll receive a work transfer order, leave this place, and gradually fade from the protagonist’s memory.”

As it spoke, Zhou Xi got a work call.

“Zhou Xi, your recent work has been excellent. There’s a job opportunity as a reward for you. Are you interested?”

“Have to leave now?” Zhou Xi blurted out.

Beixia, holding a notebook, appeared behind Zhou Xi. She was about to give Zhou Xi a long-prepared gift but overheard Zhou Xi say she was leaving. Her fingers gripped the notebook tightly, which was adorned with a beautiful pink bow.

As Zhou Xi hung up, someone tackled her from behind. She stumbled and fell onto the bed. Beixia grabbed her right hand, the one holding the phone, squeezing so hard Zhou Xi’s wrist hurt. With red eyes and a fierce tone, Beixia said, “Where are you going? You’re not going anywhere!”

Zhou Xi’s heart raced, feeling the force restraining her. Sweat beaded on her forehead. She twisted her wrist and said to Beixia, “I’m not going. Let go of me first.”

Beixia buried her face in Zhou Xi’s shoulder blade, her voice small, “I heard you.”

Zhou Xi smiled, “It’s just a work transfer. I haven’t agreed yet, have I?”

“You’re really not going?” Beixia asked. “Are you regretting it, trying to abandon me and run away?” she said with a sob.

Zhou Xi pursed her lips, her heart melting. After all, she’d raised this kid for so long. She said softly, “If you keep pinning me down, I might just agree to the transfer.”

Beixia got up, and the notebook fell from her arms. Zhou Xi heard the sound, got off the bed, and picked up Beixia’s gift.

Opening the cover, page after page showed Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi drinking water, Zhou Xi sleeping, Zhou Xi talking, Zhou Xi tending flowers… all sorts, each one adorable.

Zhou Xi’s gaze softened as she looked. Beixia was still lowering her head, seemingly crying.

Zhou Xi lifted Beixia’s chin, seeing her eyes full of grievance, like a puppy waiting for Zhou Xi’s affection. Zhou Xi sighed lightly, admitting she was smitten.

At some point, her gaze couldn’t leave Beixia.

Maybe since after the New Year, when she felt Beixia growing up.

Zhou Xi didn’t know how long Beixia’s feelings would last. Maybe, as others said, a young person’s love was as fleeting as summer’s heat. But no matter. Right now, she just wanted to indulge in the moment.

Zhou Xi’s lips curved slightly as she kissed Beixia.

“Be good, I won’t go.”

Beixia: Kiss me again.

Zhou Xi pressed her hand against Beixia’s mouth.

Zhou Xi: My lips are swollen from kissing! Still want more?!
