Li Yang leaned forward, his gaze turning from gentle to sharp: "If my inference is correct, Miss Bai ran into my mother while shopping today, right?

Then, after Miss Bai knew she was my mother, she deliberately revealed to her that Ji Huaizhi had given you money to buy things, which is why what happened later happened. "

She paused, with a hint of sarcasm on her face: "Miss Bai, am I right or not?"

How tight-lipped Chen Hong is can be seen from the last time she helped her pick out clothes. Until now, when someone asked about it, they didn't know that it was Chen Hong who helped to choose the clothes.

Her legal wife, Chen Hong, didn't say a word, so how could she tell everyone that Ji Huaizhi spent money on other women?

If that were true, the other members of the Chen family would have been kicked away by Ji Huaizhi long ago.

Bai Li's face turned pale, and she immediately looked at Ji Huaizhi: "Huaizhi, things are not what she said."

Seeing the panic in Bai Li's eyes, Ji Huaizhi didn't say anything.

When he was outside the door, he had already guessed what was going on based on Li Yang's description.

But he didn't want to think that Bai Li, who was once such a simple and kind girl, would become like this today.

Li Yang didn't let her go and continued, "Or is it that Miss Bai wants to say that you don't know all this, and that my mother heard the news from somewhere and suddenly went crazy and ran over here?"

Although Feng Mei is arrogant and aggressive, she never does anything without certainty or evidence. Isn't it obvious that Bai Li set a trap for her and her daughter, and it can also alienate herself and Ji Huaizhi. Is she killing two birds with one stone?

Facing Li Yang's questioning, Bai Li's body began to shake slightly.

After spending these days together, she thought Li Yang was a weak and indecisive housewife, but she didn't expect that there was such a ruthless character hidden inside!

Her eyes changed several times before she lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "I don't know, I really don't know... Maybe it was because I was too happy that I spoke a little louder to Sister Chen Hong and someone heard it, but I really didn't mean to." She raised her tear-stained face and looked at Ji Huaizhi. "Huaizhi, we've known each other since we were young. Don't you know who I am? How could I do something so harmful to others and not benefit myself?"

Li Yang had to say "admirable" to Bai Li's brief panic and quick recovery.

But having said this, she didn't want to say anything more. She apologized because her upbringing was not good and Feng Mei's behavior was indeed excessive, and she exposed Bai Li because she didn't want to feel wronged.

She stood up and patted her pants. "I believe Miss Bai knows the truth of the matter. I just hope that such things will not happen again. I don't care. After all, Miss Bai is not married yet. If her reputation is really ruined, in today's society, it can no longer be solved by proving her innocence with death."

After saying that, he no longer cared about their reactions and turned to go to the kitchen to tidy up things.

She bought a lot of vegetables and had to prepare them early.

Listening to Li Yang's words, Bai Li clenched her hands under the table, not even noticing the deep marks her nails were scratching on her skin.

Tears still hung on her face as she looked at Ji Huaizhi helplessly.

Ji Huaizhi sighed: "Bai Li, you are tired today, go and have a rest."

As he said this, he left the main room.

"Huaizhi!" Bai Li was unwilling to give in. She shouted at his back in a trembling voice, "Do you believe her or me?"

Ji Huaizhi turned his head and glanced at her calmly, with a deep meaning in his eyes that she couldn't see: "I believe in myself too."

After hearing Ji Huaizhi's reply, Bai Li fell into the chair, then covered her face and sobbed softly.

Ji Huaizhi came to the kitchen to help, and Li Yang asked him to help as if what had just happened had never happened.

It was Ji Huaizhi who spoke first: "I'm sorry for what happened today."

Li Yang was startled for a moment, then immediately smiled: "It's not a big deal. It's true that my mom went too far."

After all, pulling someone's hair and taking off their clothes...are things that a shrew would do.

But she didn't sympathize with Bai Li at all. She deserved it!

She originally thought that Ji Huaizhi would protect Bai Li, but unexpectedly he stood on her side. This really surprised her.

It seems that he was serious when he told her not to put herself in a difficult position last night.

Thinking of this, the last bit of gloom in Li Yang's heart disappeared, and he concentrated on preparing the meal.

Seeing the slight depression between Li Yang's brows dissipate, Ji Huaizhi also smiled: "I'll put the fish in the tank."

Li Yang bought two fish. He would eat the bigger one tonight and keep the tail until tomorrow, which meant there would be surplus every year. He would kill the other one in two days, as the fish would not die after being well-fed during the winter.

Li Yang nodded and said, "There's a broken tank in the woodshed. You can keep the fish in there."

While they were talking, she heard the courtyard door slam shut. When she looked into the main room, Bai Li was no longer there.

Li Yang shrugged and ignored it.

After a while, she heard someone calling her name at the door. She answered while wiping her hands and went out. Ji Huaizhi said, "I'll do it," and went to open the door.

Li Yang followed him out and found a young man he didn't recognize standing at the door.

He smiled at Li Yang and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Li Yang?"

Li Yang nodded suspiciously: "I am, may I ask who you are..."

The young man immediately bowed slightly to Li Yang and said, "Hello, Miss Li Yang. Master Gao asked me to bring you a New Year's gift."

As he spoke, he turned sideways. Behind him stood an older man, and next to him was a large pallet truck filled with beautifully packaged boxes of all sizes!

The young man said, "The alley is narrow and the car can't fit in, so we had to use a flatbed truck to bring it here. I hope Miss Li Yang doesn't mind."

How could Li Yang dare to dislike it? He was simply surprised and scared, okay?

What surprised her was that Gao Xinchen actually returned to Gang City and didn't forget to send her things, and so many at that; what frightened her was that Ji Huaizhi was still beside her, and she just clearly felt that the temperature around her had dropped by several degrees.

She turned to Ji Huaizhi and smiled: "Well, I don't know what's going on."

Ji Huaizhi curled the corners of his lips and smiled gently: "It's okay, don't worry about me."

When Li Yang saw Ji Huaizhi's smile, he knew it was over.

Seeing that the two were about to carry the things down, she hurriedly stopped them: "Well, I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Gao, but I really can't accept these things without doing anything."

Unexpectedly, the two men came prepared and said, "Miss Li Yang, Master Gao said that if you don't accept them, he'll make us throw these things away and then ask us to get out." The two men made bitter faces and said, "Miss Li Yang, please be kind and don't embarrass us. Just accept them."

Li Yang: “…”

If Gao Xinchen was in front of her, she really wanted to beat him up.

Doesn't he know he's married?

Ji Huaizhi walked down the stairs and said to the two of them, "It's okay, just leave the things here. Thank you, Master Gao, for taking care of my wife. By the way, tell him that if he is free after the New Year, he must come to our house as a guest."

Li Yang: “!”
