Chapter 773 Do you think I wouldn't know how much money you have?
After leaving his uncle's house, Qiao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Qin Ce, who hadn't said much, and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
Qin Ce disliked these kinds of trivial family matters the most.
He hadn't said a word and had just sat there for over an hour; Qiao Xing felt sorry for him.
"No."
Qin Ce raised an eyebrow, showing no particular reaction.
Every family has its own problems, and even the renowned Qin family is not immune to arguments and conflicts over various issues.
Moreover, in a family like Wang Ye's, with an unreasonable mother like He Fen, it would be abnormal if they didn't argue.
"Shall we go back now?" Qin Ce asked.
A perfectly good birthday celebration ended badly. Qiao Xing barely ate anything and was still hungry, thinking he'd ask Qin Ce to cook him something nice when he got back.
She nodded. "Okay, let's go back."
As soon as the two went downstairs, they saw Wang Ye and Bai Yi standing under the streetlights.
The two were talking about something, but Wang Ye's voice was a little loud, "You're determined to divorce me, aren't you?"
Bai Yi lowered his head, and Lin Lin leaned against him, at a loss.
Perhaps worried that Wang Ye might do something to Bai Yi, he tilted his head back, mustered his courage, and said to Wang Ye, "Don't you dare bully my mother!"
"I didn't bully her, she's the one who's making me angry!"
Wang Ye braced his hands on his waist and paced anxiously in place.
Turning his head, he saw Qiao Xing and Qin Ce quietly watching them.
What I fear most is when the air suddenly becomes quiet.
"Cousin, we'll head back now." Qiao Xing said to Wang Ye, and then hurriedly left with Qin Ce.
She knew that Wang Ye and Bai Yi needed to communicate, and she couldn't disturb them.
Wang Ye felt ashamed to face Qiao Xing today.
He could only force a smile and wave goodbye, saying, "Take care on your way back."
After Qiao Xing and Qin Ce had walked away, Wang Ye asked Bai Yi, "Speak up, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Bai Yi bit her lip and said softly, "It's what I meant. You saw your mother's attitude, but neither of us is suitable to have a child, whether considering our relationship or our circumstances. You don't want this to cause endless trouble at home, do you?"
Wang Ye felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Although he was angry and told He Fen directly that he wanted a divorce, it is undeniable that what she said was true.
Bai Yi sighed and looked at Wang Ye with complicated eyes. "Wang Ye, I admit that we are mutually benefiting, so I will do whatever I can for you. But that doesn't mean I have to compromise myself in this relationship. I owe you a lot, but I don't owe your family anything. I'm even willing to change myself because of you. If one day all of this becomes thankless work, then I won't let myself get stuck in this quagmire."
Wang Ye fell into a long silence.
Bai Yi had been restraining herself all night. She was mindful that He Fen was Wang Ye's mother, and also wanted to live a peaceful life, so she endured whatever He Fen said.
However, her ability to endure does not mean she has no temper. Her constant tolerance and concessions only resulted in He Fen trampling on her dignity.
Bai Yi knew that these words were somewhat unfair to Wang Ye, but she had no choice but to say them.
"Think about what I'm saying carefully. Even if we get divorced, I can still pay back the money I owe you, and your family won't have to be in such chaos."
After Bai Yi finished speaking, he was about to leave with Linlin in his hand.
Linlin didn't understand what Bai Yi and Wang Ye meant, but he knew that she and Wang Ye must have had a fight.
As Linlin walked, she glanced reluctantly at Wang Ye and asked, "Mommy, aren't we going to wait for Uncle?"
"We can't wait any longer, Mom will take you home."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Ye, who had been standing still, suddenly caught up with him.
He grabbed Bai Yi's wrist, but perhaps because he was too hasty, he didn't control his strength and hurt Bai Yi.
Bai Yi frowned and struggled to break free, "Wang Ye, let me go."
Wang Ye didn't let go. He was panting and took several deep breaths before saying to Bai Yi, "We agreed that you would marry me and help me deal with my family, so you didn't have to rush to pay back the money you owed me. You could pay it back whenever you wanted. But now that you want a divorce, I demand that you pay back all that money to me immediately. Can you do that?"
Bai Yi bit her lip; she didn't actually have that much money on hand right now. "I'll pay you back as soon as possible."
"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Ye exclaimed excitedly. "Do you think I don't know how much money you have?"
Bai Yi struggled a few more times, trying to pull her wrist away, but when she found it was no use, she simply gave up.
She looked at Wang Ye wearily. "Then what do you want me to do? Wang Ye, I'm willing to marry you, not just for the money. I want a stable life and for Linlin to have a complete family. You know your mother better than I do. If you can't give her an answer to this matter, do you think she'll give up?"
Ultimately, all the problems between the two of them stemmed from He Fen.
Wang Ye grabbed a handful of hair in frustration, completely at a loss for what to do.
If you agree to He Fen's request, then what about his relationship with Bai Yi? They haven't even dated, so where are they going to have a baby?
But if they don't agree, just like Bai Yi said, there won't be a single moment of peace in this family.
Wang Ye didn't speak, and Bai Yi also fell silent. The two of them just stood there quietly.
After a long pause, Wang Ye finally said, "I'll figure something out with my mom. I won't let her put so much pressure on you."
Bai Yi felt that he had underestimated He Fen.
She moved her lips, about to speak, when Wang Ye said again, "Don't even think about divorce! We agreed that this matter would only be over when you've paid off all the money. Even if you really want a divorce, we can only do so after you've paid off all the money!"
He didn't give Bai Yi a chance to express her opinion at all, and directly took Linlin from her arms, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Bai Yi spends most of her time at the branch store, so Wang Ye usually stays in her apartment. When she comes back, Wang Ye goes back to the store to stay.
Wang Ye never dared to let He Fen know about this, and it was fortunate that she didn't know, otherwise she would have been furious long ago.
Wang Ye escorted the mother and son downstairs and was about to leave when he said, "Hurry up and go upstairs. It's getting chilly at night, so remember to cover Linlin with an extra blanket so she doesn't catch a cold."
These experiences were summarized by Wang Ye from every day he spent with Linlin over the past few months.
In some places, he even had to be more attentive than Bai Yi, the mother.
Bai Yi was slightly moved.
