chapter 82

Zhao Lei thought he successfully kept Bai Yinya’s pregnancy secret from anyone. However, Bai Weijin learned about it from a private detective.

“Thank you,” said her politely. This private detective Gu Yeze introduced to her was quite efficient.

‘Fancy that Bai Yinya becomes pregnant! She and Zhao Lei must have spent the night together that day after they got drunk.’

Interesting.

Zhao Lei was likely to drag Bai Yinya intp the abyss of misery, thus saving her the trouble. What she needed to do was to wait and see.

The phone rang. Bai Weijin shot a glance.

It was Du Meihua calling.

The phone call must have something to do with her daughter. Bai Weijin answered it.

“What did you do to Yinya? I warn you not to do harm to her, or I won’t let you off!” Du Meihua’s voice was hoarse with anxiety.

Bai Weijin sneered, “Ms. Du, do you think I abducted your daughter?”

To be honest, it came as a surprise to her that Bai Yinya was gone, and soon the truth behind dawned on her.

“Who would do it but you? Let her go!”

“Are you crazy?” No matter what Du Meihua yelled on the other end, Bai Weijin was unmoved.

Du Meihua ignored Bai Weijin’s bitter satire and insisted the latter hid her daughter from her.

“You know what? If you don’t let Yinya go, I’ll call the police.”

Bai Weijin didn’t mind her calling the police and starting a war with Zhao Lei, “Just do it. I’m glad to see your daughter lose her reputation.”

Du Meihua seized hold of her mobile and slammed it down angrily.

Bai Weijin certainly knew where Bai Yinya was. Zhao Lei must have prevented her from contacting anyone, in case her pregnancy was made public.

Bai Weijin felt it necessary to add fuel to the fire.

…

Zhao Lei rang Gu Yeyu from time to time.

“I’ll try my best to satisfy your family and clear up our misunderstandings, I promise.” He pledged to Gu Yeyu.

Gu Yeyu replied, “How about meeting with my sister-in-law? If she’s happy with our relationship, my brother will also be satisfied.”

Zhao Lei agreed to this without demur.

In his eyes, Bai Weijin was none more than an ordinary woman that could be easily fooled.

They fixed an appointment for five o’clock in the afternoon.

Gu Yeze happened to go out with Chu Jiran. Bai Weijin and Gu Yeyu arrived on time for the appointment.

Gu Yeyu was in a red skirt as usual, while Bai Weijin, in case Gu Yeze would get angry, decided not to dress up. Anyway, she was not the major character in today’s play.

“Lei!” Gu Yeyu waved greetings to Zhao Lei who just parked his car.

Zhao Lei gave a smile and walked towards them.

His eyes were fixed on Bai Weijin, who, in a suit, looked poised and elegant. Seldom had he noticed her beauty before.

It was not until today that Zhao Lei realized Bai Weijin was pretty attractive.

Despite that, he had no guts to drool over Gu Yeze’s wife. Zhao Lei soon made a show of gentleness, “This way, please.”

Gu Yeyu took a seat next to Zhao Lei, which surprised him a lot.

He started the conversation, “You must be Mrs. Gu, Yeyu’s sister-in-law.”

Bai Weijin nodded, “Yeah. And… I’m also Bai Yinya’s sister.”

Zhao Lei’s countenance changed and he soon forced a smile. He had no idea why Bai Weijin deliberately mentioned her sister at this moment.

He took a sneak look at the two women and found both of them appear calm. After some hesitation, he added.

“Yinya once told me about you. It’s kind of you to take care of her very often.”

Bai Weijin was completely stupefied. What was he talking about?

“You seem to have misunderstood our relationship. We are not that close, but your realtions seem different, right?”

She was talking about Zhao Lei and Bai Yinya shopping together that day. Zhao lei hastily denied, “No. Because our parents are good friends, her father told me to take her around.”

“Well,” Bai Weijin pretended to believe what he said.

Zhao Lei cast a glance at Gu Yeyu, plucking up the courage to continue, “I like Yeyu, and I hope you can approve of us going steady. There have been many misunderstandings between us before, but I’ll try my best to clear them up.”

What honeyed words! Bai Weijin turned away and asked Gu Yeyu, “What about you?”

Gu Yeyu bowed her head and feigned shyness, “I… I like Lei.”

Zhao Lei’s eyes lit up. He looked at Bai Weijin in anticipation, for his future would be bright if she agreed.

Bai Weijin was thinking about how to reply when someone dashed into the room.

“What are you doing, Zhao Lei?” Bai Yinya’s scream came from behind Zhao Lei, giving him a good scare.

Gu Yeyu gave Bai Weijin a wink, and the latter shook her head. Bai Yinya’s appearance was beyond her expectation.

Angry with Bai Yinya who had interrupted his proposal, Zhao Lei got up and pushed her outwards, in case she revealed anything secret, “What are you doing here? Go back!”

Although they were seated in a corner, her sharp voice attracted everyone’s attention. Even the waiters kept glancing over from time to time.

Bai Yinya pointed at Zhao Lei, “You let me stay at home, while you go out and meet these two bitches! What are you gonna do? Do me harm? Together?”

“Lei, she…”

Gu Yeyu frowned as she feigned ignorance.

Zhao Lei grabbed hold of Bai Yinya, trying to coax them, “Just a little misunderstanding. She’s mentally ill, I need to take her back. How about meeting another day?”

“Meet another day?” Bai Yinya was provoked and began to struggle.

Zhao Lei grabbed her arm with great force. Bai Yinya’s arm hurt badly. “Shut up, you nut!”

He was trying to drag Bai Yinya outside.

Yet he failed when Bai Yinya used sheer brutal force. She cursed Bai Weijin loudly, “What a bitch to have stolen Yan Sheng’s heart! Don’t you dare seduce Zhao Lei!”

A slap.
