"Mom, we can't be kicked out like this." Bai Wanru paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

"We really can't just sit here and wait to die." Although Bai's mother was anxious, she remained calm.

After being kicked out by Ye Zhaoyu, Bai's mother and daughter were settled in this courtyard house by Ling Yunjue. He left them 10 yuan and some food coupons and never came back.

Years have passed, and the wind blows, yet no one is to be seen.

The Bai family mother and daughter haven't seen Ling Yunjue and Nian Mufeng for over half a month, and they're very worried!

The two people in the hall were constantly thinking about what to do.

“Mom, why don’t we kneel down in front of the Ye family’s gate and beg Ye Zhaoyu to give us a way out?” Bai Wanru said.

"No, this trick won't work. That woman doesn't look like someone to be trifled with," Bai's mother immediately objected.

That little bitch's eyes seem to see right through people; I can't help but feel flustered when I'm around her.

"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you suggest we do? If I don't see Brother Yun again, I'm afraid he'll forget who I am," Bai Wanru said impatiently.

“We can’t threaten Ye Zhaoyu. We can drug the two men. Once they sleep with us, they’ll have to take responsibility for us no matter what,” Bai’s mother whispered in Bai Wanru’s ear.

There's no rush to deal with Ye Zhaoyu. Once she becomes Nian Mufeng's wife, it will be perfectly natural for her to discipline her daughter as a stepmother.

Bai Wanru smiled knowingly after hearing this, "Mom is still the best and the smartest."

After Bai's mother had made her plans, the two of them split up. One went to invite Ling Yunjue, and the other went to invite Nian Mufeng, inviting them to dinner the day after tomorrow to thank them for saving their lives.

The invitation went smoothly, and the two agreed to come.

Bai's mother went to prepare what needed to be prepared; she was very skilled at this.

The medicine was obtained in less than half a day, and all that was left was to wait for the day to take action.

On the other hand, Ye Zhaoyu continued to spend her days studying, translating, earning money for investment, and preparing for the college entrance examination.

Uncle Ye came in and asked Ye Zhaoyu, "Miss, Comrade Ling came over and said he has something to discuss with you. Should we let him in?"

"Uncle Ye, please take him to the study!" Ye Zhaoyu hesitated for a moment before making her decision.

Ling Yunjue had been in a cold shoulder for almost a month, and it was indeed time to talk things out face-to-face and see whether to continue or separate.

Ling Yunjue was overjoyed to hear that Ye Zhaoyu was willing to see her, and followed Uncle Ye happily into the study.

The girl was sitting at her desk, wearing a fitted dress, and seemed to be writing something intently.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling softly on the girl.

Ye Bo led the person to the study, helped close the door, and then left.

Ling Yunjue stared intently; she had become even more beautiful in the month since he last saw her.

"Zhao Zhao, I miss you so much." Ling Yunjue stepped forward and whispered tenderly to Ye Zhaoyu.

Ye Zhaoyu finished writing the last word, put down her pen, and looked up at Ling Yunjue.

Ling Yunjue had a full beard and looked exhausted, as if he hadn't slept for many days. My heart softened. "Comrade Ling, please sit down."

How could such a handsome face be ruined like this? I feel so sorry for him.

Seeing the heartache in Ye Zhaoyu's eyes, Ling Yunjue knew that Ye Zhaoyu still liked him and still had feelings for him, which put his mind at ease.

"I was really wrong, please calm down." Ling Yunjue felt that Ye Zhaoyu was quite easy to talk to, so she immediately apologized and begged for forgiveness.

"Then tell me where you went wrong?" Although Ye Zhaoyu liked Ling Yunjue's face and figure, she didn't intend to forgive him easily just because of his looks.

"I..." Ling Yunjue had no idea where she had gone wrong.

"Alright, I was just kidding. What's past is past. What's your relationship with Bai Wanru? She even knelt at my door to beg for your sake," Ye Zhaoyu teased.

“No, I just encountered them, a mother and daughter, on my way back to Beijing. They had been abducted and were almost sold to men in the mountains to be wives. My dad and I felt sorry for them and rescued them. They had nowhere to go, so after discussing it with my dad, we decided to temporarily put them in your house. Who knew you would be so angry about them?” Ling Yunjue immediately explained.

"Bai Wanru has her eye on you, and Bai's mother has her eye on my father, do you know that?" Ye Zhaoyu likes to be straightforward, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

"How is that possible? How could they possibly be interested in me and Dad?" Ling Yunjue looked incredulous.

"Whether it's true or not, you know in your heart. You call your savior 'brother' every day, isn't it to try and build a relationship? You repay a life-saving debt with your body. You and Comrade Nian are quite lucky in love." Ye Zhaoyu knew that there was no evidence, yet all of this was evidence.

These days, strangers of the opposite sex are all addressed as "comrade," but the Bai family mother and daughter wear their hearts on their sleeves, as if they want to announce it to the whole world.

"She only called me Brother Yun because she was scared after escaping from the wolf's den, and it was just a temporary emotional dependence," Ling Yunjue explained. He added that Bai Wanru had nightmares for several nights in a row after being rescued, and she would cry incessantly in fear whenever she was separated from him.

It only got a little better during this period.

However, I can't tell Ye Zhaoyu about this, what if she gets jealous again?

"Oh, is that so? You don't believe what I'm saying." Ye Zhaoyu's face turned cold.

“No, it’s just…” Ling Yunjue hesitated, not really believing what Ye Zhaoyu said.

Ye Zhaoyu could tell at a glance that Ling Yunjue did not believe her.

There's really no need to continue.

Even the most handsome man can't resist a stranger trying to steal him away.

"Our marriage certificate has no legal effect, right?!" Ye Zhaoyu asked about other things. The marriage certificate was obtained for the mission, and they should be divorced now.

"No, it needs to be stamped first," Ling Yunjue explained.

"Give it to me, I'll tear it up, and we'll never have anything to do with each other again."

"I didn't bring it." A sense of luck flashed through Ling Yunjue's mind. Before leaving the house, he had inexplicably left his marriage certificate at home.

"Then remember to bring it over early. I have other things to do, so I won't entertain you any longer." Ye Zhaoyu said, and began to shoo people away.

Ling Yunjue wanted to say something more, but seeing Ye Zhaoyu's dismissive attitude, she decided to leave first.

Didn't Ye Zhaoyu say that Bai Wanru liked him? He just needs to prove that Bai Wanru doesn't like him, prove that she is wrong, and then she will change her mind and admit her mistake.

As soon as Ling Yunjue came out, Nian Mufeng grabbed her and interrogated her. "How are you? Has Zhaozhao calmed down? Did she say we did anything wrong?"

"No, she said Bai Wanru likes me, and Bai's mother likes you." Ling Yunjue passed the question to his father-in-law.

"How could that be? I haven't even said a word to that mother and daughter surnamed Bai. How could she possibly like me? Daughter, you've misunderstood..." Upon hearing this, Nian Mufeng immediately went back to knock on the door, wanting to explain things to Ye Zhaoyu.

He can't take the blame for this.
