Chapter 807 This is good for everyone

Bai Yi didn't recognize her, but the woman walked over and took the initiative to introduce herself to Bai Yi.

"Hello, Miss Bai, I am Zhou Yi's mother. I wonder if you have time to talk to me?"

Bai Yi was stunned. She didn't understand why Zhou Yi's mother would suddenly come to her.

Out of politeness, Bai Yi nodded to Zhou's mother and said, "Okay."

The two randomly chose a restaurant, and Zhou's mother ordered two cups of coffee.

Bai Yi thanked the waiter, then looked at Zhou's mother and asked, "I wonder what you wanted to talk to me about, Auntie?"

Although she flew overnight from Chongqing to Shanghai because of something, her purpose was to find Bai Yi.

But at this moment, in front of Bai Yi, she was dignified and composed, just like two long-lost friends sitting down to exchange pleasantries.

"How long have you known Miss Bai and our Ah Yi?"

Bai Yi wasn't stupid; upon hearing Zhou's mother's words, he had basically guessed why she had come to find him.

But she still told the truth, "Attorney Zhou and I were classmates in college, but we haven't known each other for very long. We only gradually became familiar with each other after he became our company's legal counsel."

"Is Miss Bai married? I heard she has a six-year-old son," Zhou's mother asked again.

Bai Yi frowned almost imperceptibly.

This kind of question is a matter of personal privacy, and most normal people would feel it's inappropriate to ask it.

Bai Yi felt a little uncomfortable.

But her good upbringing didn't make her give Zhou's mother a cold shoulder. "Yes, I've been married for more than half a year and have a son."

Zhou's mother maintained her dignified smile.

"I can't believe Miss Bai is in such a hurry; her son is already so big."

Bai Yi smiled and looked calmly at Zhou's mother. "Auntie, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? Just say it directly."

Instead of beating around the bush, Zhou's mother took out a few photos from her bag, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Bai Yi.

"I came to see Ms. Bai to ask about these photos and hope that Ms. Bai can give me a reasonable answer."

Bai Yi picked up the photos; all of them were of her and Zhou Yi.

After she came to Shanghai, she and Zhou Yi only met a few times.

But it was photographed every time.

Moreover, the angle of each photo is suggestive.

An uninformed person would definitely think that these are two very affectionate couples on a date.

After looking at the photos, Bai Yi's expression remained unchanged. "Auntie, Lawyer Zhou and I are just friends. Every time I meet with him, it's for work. I don't know why anyone would take such photos, but I have a clear conscience."

From the moment she took out the photo, Zhou's mother subtly observed Bai Yi's expression.

She tried to catch even the slightest hint of guilt, panic, or fear in Bai Yi's expression.

However, Bai Yi remained calm throughout.

This surprised Zhou's mother.

She smiled and said, “Miss Bai, I don’t object to my son dating. If you were unmarried and childless, I might be very supportive of you two being together. But given your current situation, it’s really not suitable for you two, especially since you are already married.”

Bai Yi's face finally turned cold. "Auntie, because you are Lawyer Zhou's friend, and Lawyer Zhou has helped me a lot before, I respect you very much. I don't want to say anything too harsh. But as I said before, I have a clear conscience regarding Lawyer Zhou, and I have not done anything to wrong my family. So please forgive me for not being able to accept what you said."

Zhou's mother's expression froze for a moment.

She probably didn't expect Bai Yi to be so direct.

Bai Yi knew very well that Zhou's mother suspected that she and Zhou Yi were having an affair because of these photos, so she came over specifically to warn her.

We're all adults, so we can just say what we mean directly. There's absolutely no need to beat around the bush and go on and on about a bunch of irrelevant things.

After Bai Yi finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, it's getting late, I should go back now, so I won't chat with you any longer."

Her gaze swept over the photos on the table, paused, and then she picked them all up.

"Regarding today's events, I think you should talk to Attorney Zhou instead of coming to me. I don't know where you got these photos, but I hope you understand that taking photos without consent is illegal."

She offered a well-intentioned reminder: "Since someone is deliberately doing this, they're definitely targeting not only me, but also Attorney Zhou. If you really care about Attorney Zhou, Auntie, you should find out the source of these photos as soon as possible."

After Bai Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

She finally breathed a long sigh of relief after leaving the restaurant.

I was originally thinking of asking Zhou Yi for help, but it seems that won't be an option.

Even though the photos weren't true, the fact that Zhou Yi's mother personally came to her shows that this matter was not a trivial one in the eyes of the Zhou family.

What they cared about wasn't the matter itself, but that it was wrong for someone like her to be around Zhou Yi.

Many things in the past have already taught Bai Yi a lesson, and she can't let such unfounded things ruin her life again.

Bai Yi had thought it through very clearly, but the next day, Zhou Yi came to her.

Zhou Yi initially called her, but Bai Yi didn't answer. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi knew she was at the branch store and came directly to find her.

"I know my mom contacted you yesterday. I'll investigate those photos. Whatever my mom said to you, I want to apologize." Zhou Yi's attitude was very sincere, and his tone was full of apology.

Bai Yi shook his head. "Attorney Zhou, you don't need to apologize. Actually, your mother is right. Given our different statuses, if we get too close, it will indeed cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Since this has already happened, let's see each other less in the future. It's better for everyone."

"Bai Yi." Zhou Yi's face showed anxiety. "You and I both know that those photos are fabricated. Aren't we friends? If that's the case, why are you distancing yourself from me because of those photos?"

Bai Yi said helplessly, "Attorney Zhou, this isn't about the photos. Of course I know they're fake, but what's the use? Your family still doesn't believe me."

"Just like you and I both know that there's nothing between us, but misunderstandings still happened. The incident at the hospital last time was a lesson for me. I don't want to be criticized and gossiped about even though I haven't done anything. Rumors can kill people."

Zhou Yi looked at Bai Yi with a complicated expression.

He opened his mouth several times, but then stopped himself, as if he was struggling with something.
