Chapter 788 Will he stay with us today too?
Wang Yue didn't want the atmosphere to become too tense, so he thought that Wang Ye was, after all, a junior, and asked him to say a few nice words to He Fen first to calm her down.
But before he could even try to persuade Wang Ye, he heard him say two words with unwavering resolve, "I won't leave."
Then, ignoring He Fen's anger, he slammed the door and left.
He Fen pointed at his departing figure, her blood rushing to her head, and she lost her balance, sitting directly on the sofa.
"He...he..." Her voice trembled with anger. As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel wronged and cried out, "How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful son!"
Wang Yue sat down next to her, trying to comfort her, "Since you can't reason with him, don't insist on it. Xiao Ye has his own ideas, just go along with him. Don't make things difficult for yourself. What if you hurt yourself by getting upset?"
"Stop making sarcastic remarks!" He Fen shoved Wang Yue hard, venting all her anger towards Wang Ye on him.
"It's all because you don't care about anything that things have turned out this way! You're a father, yet you have no authority in front of your child, of course he won't take my words to heart!"
Wang Yue felt both innocent and helpless. "What does this have to do with me? I've been advising you not to get involved in this, did you listen? You're just making trouble for yourself, and now you're blaming me!"
He Fen suddenly became agitated. She stood up and glared angrily at Wang Yue, "So in your eyes, me thinking about Xiao Ye is meddling in other people's business?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant to tell you..."
"Shut up!" He Fen roared, interrupting him. "Since you all think I'm meddling, then I might as well die!"
Wang Ye was riding his electric bike home when he passed a shop and ran into Bai Yi and Linlin coming out of it.
"Linlin, you can't be so rude next time." Bai Yi was talking to Linlin with her head down and didn't see Wang Ye.
Linlin was holding a doll in her arms, quietly with her head down.
When Wang Ye saw the two men, he stopped his electric scooter and was about to greet them when another man came out of the store.
The man was wearing a suit and glasses; he looked refined and somewhat familiar.
Wang Ye looked closely and remembered.
Isn't that Zhou Yi, the lawyer?
"I'm so sorry, Attorney Zhou, my child is so immature and has caused you so much trouble. I'll transfer the money to you later."
Bai Yi was so engrossed in talking to Zhou Yi that he didn't notice Wang Ye at all.
Zhou Yi, too, did not recognize Wang Ye. He smiled faintly and said to Bai Yi, "It's alright, just consider it a gift for the child. It's not expensive, you don't need to transfer any money."
"No, that's precisely because we don't have much money, we can't let you spend any more money..."
Bai Yi was speaking when Linlin, who was standing next to her, suddenly saw Wang Ye and shouted, "Uncle!"
Bai Yi and Zhou Yi both looked at Wang Ye at the same time.
Linlin's shout caught Wang Ye off guard. He didn't even get off the electric bike before staring at them.
There was a hint of awkwardness in the air.
He forced a smile and said with a dry laugh, "Good evening."
Linlin had already run towards Wang Ye. Bai Yi, recovering from her surprise, also walked towards him. "What are you doing here?"
Wang Ye ruffled Linlin's hair. "I was just passing by and happened to run into you and Linlin. What's going on here...?"
He spoke with a questioning and doubtful tone, glancing at Zhou Yi behind Bai Yi.
Bai Yi explained, "President Xiao has entrusted a case to Attorney Zhou. We happen to be in Chongqing, so President Xiao asked me to talk to Attorney Zhou."
"Oh." Wang Ye nodded knowingly. "Then you two continue your talk. I'll head back to the shop first."
“We’ve finished talking,” Bai Yi said. “Since you’re here, you can take Linlin and me home. We won’t trouble Attorney Zhou.”
Wang Ye felt that Bai Yi was joking. "I'll give you a ride? But this is an electric scooter!"
"So what? It's not like we've never ridden in one before."
Bai Yi's words left Wang Ye speechless.
That's the logic.
But judging from the situation, it was obvious that the lawyer wanted to show his gentlemanly charm by driving her and Linlin back. She might as well let the lawyer go all the way and ride back in his car.
Wang Ye didn't realize that his idea actually carried a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Bai Yi looked at Zhou Yi and smiled apologetically. "Just now, Attorney Zhou drove me back. He saw that it was inconvenient for me to have Linlin with me, so he offered to take me home. On the way, Linlin saw this doll and insisted on wanting it. Attorney Zhou paid for it, so I can't trouble Attorney Zhou any further."
Zhou Yi maintained his usual gentle smile, "No trouble at all."
"Then we'll head back first. Attorney Zhou, you should also go back and get some rest."
Before Wang Ye could say anything, Bai Yi had already taken out the spare helmet, put it on, and then had Linlin stand in front and hold onto the two rearview mirrors.
The electric car may look small, but it can comfortably accommodate a family of three.
On the way, Bai Yi sat in the back, her hair a little messy from the wind.
Wang Ye glanced at her in the rearview mirror and suddenly asked, "Why don't you take Attorney Zhou's car back? He kindly offered to give you a ride."
Bai Yi asked doubtfully, "Why do I have to ride in his car?"
Wang Ye thought to himself.
Didn't you realize at all that the top lawyer had feelings for you?
Originally, when Zhou Yi offered to give Bai Yi a ride after they finished their business, Bai Yi had already refused.
She wanted to refuse him by saying that she was going to pick up Linlin from the store and didn't want to trouble Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi said that he was going that way anyway.
Bai Yi had no choice but to agree.
The two are friends and work partners, so if they act too distantly in some ways, it will seem awkward.
After picking up Linlin, Bai Yi thought about taking a taxi back, but Zhou Yi said that it was late and it wouldn't be safe for her to take a taxi alone with the child.
Bai Yi already felt indebted to Zhou Yi, but who knew that Linlin would cause her so much trouble at this time.
When I take him shopping, I've never seen him show any enthusiasm for any toys. But just now, I don't know why, he kept wanting that doll.
Bai Yi thought for a moment, took out her phone, and transferred the money for the doll to Zhou Yi.
Bai Yi knew that ever since she met Zhou Yi, he would always take care of her unintentionally.
But apart from your parents, no one in this world will be kind to you for no reason.
Regardless of Zhou Yi's motives, Bai Yi didn't want to owe him any favors, so she would repay him however little she could.
A dozen minutes later, Wang Ye's electric scooter stopped in front of Bai Yi's apartment building.
Linlin jumped out of the car first, looked up and asked Wang Ye, "Uncle, will you be staying with us tonight too?"
"Well……"
