The second young lady of the Bai Group?

Ha, as expected, someone like me with no background or power is ultimately not good enough for him.

It's perfectly normal for him to marry a woman who can help his career.

"I know... I was overestimating myself. How could someone like me compare to the heiress of the Bai Group..." Su Yuluo once again clutched the tissue in her hand and pretended to cry, feigning grievance.

If she also had a wealthy background, would she have needed to work so hard from childhood to adulthood? Hsien Ming-yu, so that kind of woman was the reason you changed your mind about me? You're really ruthless!

“Yu Luo, you don’t need to be too sad. She’s not some rich girl. As far as I know, although she is Bai Minglei’s biological daughter, she does the work of a servant in the Bai family. Bai Minglei only takes his eldest daughter to important occasions and banquets. That woman has never shown her face until the day Yu got married.”

"To be honest, I still don't understand. His eldest daughter was clearly more favored, but Bai Minglei didn't let her marry. Instead, he let his less favored younger daughter marry Yu. It's such a disservice to him. If Yu's grandparents hadn't liked that woman, Yu wouldn't have had to swallow his anger for so long. You wouldn't believe it, but Bai's second daughter is just a little girl. I heard she's only just turned 18. Yu is so much older than her, how could he possibly like her?"

Su Yulu listened attentively and began to analyze the situation carefully.

If what Mu Bie said is true, and Xian Mingyu doesn't like the woman he's married now, wouldn't my chances be even greater?

But why did he reject her so resolutely on the phone that day?

Or perhaps he was too late; he and that woman had already...

No! No way! She couldn't back down like this.

How could she possibly lose to a little girl?

"But no matter what, it's a fact that Yu married her. The Bai Group must have been a great help to Yu's career."

"What help is there? That small company is almost bankrupt. The recent scandals about the Bai family factory that have been all over the newspapers were actually collected by me for Yu."

"Really? Then... does that woman know?"

"How could I let her know? This is an internal company secret, and of course, it's also Grandpa's order. The Bai family is no pushover; they'll be dealt with sooner or later. I think Yu will be asking that woman for a divorce soon, and when that time comes, he'll definitely change his mind about you. You don't need to worry too much."

"By the way, they're secretly married, and it's absolutely forbidden to announce it to the public. Yuluo, don't tell anyone what I just told you, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

So that's how it is.

That old man is really cunning.

If the Bai family truly harbored grudges against the Xian family, yet he allowed the Bai family's daughter to marry Xian Mingyu, then there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

If the Bai Group really goes bankrupt, it will still be related to Xian Mingyu. If such big news reaches his wife's ears, she will definitely feel bad. At that time, their relationship will definitely be questioned.

Su Yuluo picked up the coffee in front of her, took a small sip, and tasted bitterness followed by a sweet aftertaste.

"Mu Bie, thank you for telling me all this. I won't tell anyone else. Actually, I've already given up on whether Yu will change his mind about me. I think I should start my new life anew and accept someone who is truly good to me."

Mu Bie was surprised that Su Yuluo would suddenly be willing to let go of Xian Mingyu. She knew that Su Yuluo had been extremely possessive of him back then, and her eyes had always only been on Xian Mingyu. Hearing her say this, Mu Bie was genuinely happy. "Do you really think so, Yuluo? Actually, I..."

“You don’t need to say anything, I already know.” Su Yulu interrupted him.

They looked at each other and smiled.

The most interesting part is when the pieces are slowly hooked.

The real show is about to begin.

Such good news shouldn't be kept to yourself; it's no fun doing it all by yourself.

***

There was a lot of work today, so Hsien Ming-yu worked overtime before he could go home.

I haven't seen Bai Xiaoruo for several hours, and I miss her terribly. I wonder how she's doing at home all by herself.

Have you been staying home obediently? Have you been eating anything unclean?

My mind was filled with her silly little face, and I couldn't concentrate on my work at all.

The car drove directly into the courtyard, and two bodyguards immediately went over.

"Young Master."

Is she home?

"Yes, the young mistress has been at home all day and hasn't left the house."

"Okay. You don't need to go in. Go back and rest."

"yes."

When Xian Mingyu drove the car into the garage, walked to the front of the villa, and opened the door, the house was empty, and Bai Xiaoruo was nowhere to be seen.

He went straight upstairs, turned the doorknob of the master bedroom with one hand, and finally saw the little girl he had been longing for.

She fell asleep in bed again.

She lay on her side, curled up in the blankets, and even when he opened the door and came in, she was still fast asleep, showing no sign of waking up at all.

Xian Mingyu walked to her bedside and sat down, gently poking her fair face twice with his slender fingertips.

"Pig, wake up."

"Hmm, go away~" she murmured twice, raised her hand and waved it, her brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and continued to sleep.

What time is it? Get up! It's not good to skip meals.
