Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 810 Everyone has the right to like others.
But in fact, this incident became a psychological shadow for her from the very beginning.
Since they believe that liking someone is wrong, then whoever she likes is wrong too.
So what's wrong with her liking Wang Ye?
While the two were chatting, they didn't notice that someone they both knew had entered through the door.
Bai Yi was taking Lin Lin home when they passed by this shop. Lin Lin happened to see some desserts in the window and asked Bai Yi to buy them for him.
Bai Yi led him into the store, asked the waiter for two less sweet options, and packed them to go.
After paying and preparing to leave, Bai Yi unexpectedly saw Zhou Yi in the store.
He was sitting by the window, and there was another person sitting opposite him.
Bai Yi looked up and his pupils dilated slightly. It was Zhou Hui!
Bai Yi almost thought she was seeing things, but after checking several times, she was sure she wasn't mistaken.
Just then, Linlin, who was standing next to her, suddenly pointed at Zhou Hui and said, "Mommy! That's Aunt Zhou!"
Bai Yi paused for a moment, then looked down and asked Linlin, "Do you know that auntie?"
Linlin nodded, "Yes, I know her! She often comes to the store to see Uncle, and she buys me a lot of food, but Uncle doesn't seem to like Aunt Zhou very much; he won't let me eat anything she buys."
"Why?"
Linlin shook her head, "I don't know either. My uncle said it was expired and it wouldn't be healthy for me to eat it."
Bai Yi never expected that Zhou Hui and Zhou Yi knew each other. He had previously thought that the similarity in their names was just a coincidence.
But at this moment, Bai Yi's intuition told her that the two of them must have known each other before, or even be family.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Hui were talking about something, and both of them looked rather unhappy.
Although he had many doubts, it would be inappropriate for Bai Yi to rush over and ask them at this time.
So Bai Yi planned to pretend he didn't see them and wanted to leave with Linlin.
But before she even reached the door, Zhou Hui suddenly looked up.
As luck would have it, her eyes met Bai Yi's.
Zhou Hui paused for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yi, her lips moved as if she said something to him, but Zhou Yi suddenly turned his head away.
Bai Yi sighed inwardly; it seemed he wouldn't be able to leave this time.
The moment Zhou Yi saw Bai Yi, he immediately stood up and walked towards her.
Zhou Hui remained seated, quietly watching her and Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi walked over to Bai Yi, who could only awkwardly greet him, "Attorney Zhou."
"You..." Zhou Yi's eyes were clearly filled with panic, as if he was worried about something.
"I brought my son to buy some desserts." Bai Yi waved the desserts in her hand. "I was already planning to go back, but I didn't expect to see Lawyer Zhou here by such a coincidence."
Bai Yi didn't ask Zhou Yi what the relationship between Zhou Hui was, but Zhou Yi pursed his lips and took the initiative to tell her.
"Zhou Hui is my sister."
Bai Yi remained calm. "I guessed it."
She glanced behind Zhou Yi and smiled, "You didn't tell me about this because you know she likes Wang Ye, right?"
Zhou Yi remained silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Bai Yi had seen it all along, but she never took it to heart.
For no other reason than that she knew Wang Ye could never possibly like Zhou Hui.
Although she herself was not sure where her confidence came from.
Bai Yi smiled and said, "Everyone has the right to like others, which is something I can't stop, so you don't need to feel too guilty."
Bai Yi's words made Zhou Yi even more ashamed to face her.
But that wasn't the most embarrassing thing for Zhou Yi. In front of Bai Yi, he simply couldn't admit that it was his own sister who did it.
Bai Yi stared at Zhou Yi for a few seconds, then suddenly asked him, "That photo, was taken by Zhou Hui, right?"
Zhou Yi pursed his lips. He knew it; Bai Yi was so smart, there was no way he wouldn't have guessed it.
Zhou Yi looked at her with complicated feelings, a hint of shame welling up in his eyes. "I really didn't know she would do such a thing. It's my fault as her brother. I apologize to you and your husband on her behalf."
His tone was very sincere, but Bai Yi felt very calm inside.
What's done is done. If apologies were effective, there would be far fewer problems in the world.
Bai Yi guessed it was Zhou Hui because he knew her feelings for Wang Ye.
He Fen's attitude towards Zhou Hui was so obvious; she wished Wang Ye would immediately divorce Bai Yi and marry Zhou Hui.
If Zhou Hui truly had no feelings for He Fen, she wouldn't have acted so eagerly towards her.
Therefore, in Zhou Hui and He Fen's eyes, she became the most annoying person.
Of course, they would try to find a way to get her to divorce Wang Ye.
Bai Yi smirked. "It was all baseless to begin with. I haven't done anything to wrong anyone, so this has no impact on me. Therefore, you don't need to apologize to me."
“I think my husband is actually the most innocent in this whole affair. If anyone should apologize, it should be your sister and my husband. However…” Bai Yi said, turning to look at Zhou Hui.
Zhou Hui only made eye contact with her for a moment before looking away.
Bai Yi smiled faintly, "Whether or not you apologize is not important anymore. Let's leave it at that."
After saying that, she took Linlin and prepared to leave.
Zhou Yi quickly said, "I won't go back on my word. I'm preparing the materials needed for the court hearing."
Bai Yi stopped and turned to look at him. "I forgot to tell you, the matter has been investigated and it may be resolved without a court hearing, so we won't trouble Attorney Zhou any further."
"But……"
Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, Bai Yi continued, "Zhou Yi, I know you really want to help me, and you also know that if you keep insisting, I can't refuse you, so you're trying to force me to agree in this way."
“But I don’t want you to feel that way. You’ve already helped me a lot, and I’m very grateful to you. So you don’t need to feel guilty towards me, and I’ve never blamed you.”
The debt of gratitude can never be repaid, and Bai Yi did not want her and Zhou Yi to remain in a state of mutual indebtedness.
She decided not to pursue the matter with Zhou Hui, considering it repayment for all the help Zhou Yi had given her.
Wang Ye and Bai Yi had originally planned that Bai Yi and Zhou Yi would go to the hot pot restaurant together to talk to the person in charge.
But the next day, only Bai Yi came to the store.
Wang Ye asked suspiciously, "Where is that lawyer Zhou? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Bai Yi did not tell Wang Ye about what happened last night.
If he finds out that Zhou Yi and Zhou Hui are siblings, and that Zhou Hui took those photos, given his temper, he will definitely go and settle accounts with Zhou Hui immediately.
