Chapter 801 I Heard It with Both Ears
The waiter turned his head and looked back, muttering to himself in confusion, "Hey, he was just here a moment ago, he must have gone out on something."
The waiter asked Zhou Hui, "Do you need to see our boss?"
Zhou Hui shook her head. "It's nothing."
Wang Ye didn't go out on business; he just hid in the kitchen.
He didn't know why Zhou Hui had suddenly appeared; perhaps she was just having dinner with friends by chance, or perhaps it was intentional.
But no matter what, Wang Ye didn't want to see her.
Wang Ye hid in the kitchen and waited until Zhou Hui and the others finished eating, paid the bill, and left before coming out.
Just then, Wang Ye's phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Zhou Hui.
I apologize for the intrusion of our magazine staff visiting your shop yesterday. My intention was simply to offer some promotional support; there was no other purpose.
I originally wanted to come over today to apologize to you in person, but you weren't here, so I can only apologize to you on WeChat.
Their last chat was about Zhou Hui transferring money to Wang Ye. Wang Ye almost forgot that he had Zhou Hui as a WeChat friend.
Just as Wang Ye was thinking about how to reply to Zhou Hui, she sent another message.
[Also, regarding the matter from last time, I truly knew nothing about it. If Ms. Bai has misunderstood you because of this, I can explain.]
The moment Wang Ye saw the message, he deleted and blocked Zhou Hui without hesitation.
Oh shit!
If she hadn't brought it up, Wang Ye would have almost forgotten about it.
When he went to see Bai Yi that day, Bai Yi asked him, "Does your mother want Zhou Hui to be with you?"
While Wang Ye was still in a state of shock, wondering how Bai Yi knew,
Bai Yi said to him, "You should be careful with Zhou Hui, don't let your mother be fooled by her."
Bai Yi didn't say anything else; this sentence was a well-intentioned reminder.
That day, after learning that He Fen had jumped off the building, Bai Yi carefully recalled all the different attitudes He Fen had shown her during that time.
She knew that Zhou Hui's appearance was not accidental, and if she really had no feelings for Wang Ye, He Fen wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Even though Zhou Hui knew that Wang Ye was married, she still had that kind of thought.
There are only two possible reasons: either it was intentional, or Zhou Hui knew the true nature of her relationship with Wang Ye.
However, Bai Yi hoped that she was just overthinking things.
She didn't want to think the worst of people, and she also knew that if Zhou Hui really liked Wang Ye, there was nothing she could do.
After Wang Ye returned, he carefully went through Bai Yi's words.
After a night, he finally figured it out.
He refused to believe that Zhou Hui had nothing to do with what happened last time.
Even if it wasn't Zhou Hui's intention, He Fen is the kind of person who can't hide anything. He didn't believe that Zhou Hui couldn't see through He Fen's purpose.
Zhou Hui is a woman who is much smarter than the average person.
Since you've already tacitly approved of He Fen's actions, why are you acting all high and mighty in front of her now?
What a hypocritical woman!
On the other side, Zhou Hui, seeing that Wang Ye hadn't replied to her for a while, sent another message.
【Are you occupied? 】
As soon as the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared on the screen.
Wang Ye deleted her.
Zhou Hui held her phone, stunned for a long while.
She never expected Wang Ye to do this.
She stared at their chat page, unconsciously gripping her phone tighter.
Wang Ye thought that after deleting Zhou Hui, he could live a peaceful life for a while.
Who knew that He Fen would come to the store to find him the very next day.
No need to ask, they're talking about Zhou Hui again.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Huihui was just trying to help you promote your shop, and you actually kicked her out! How can you do that!"
As soon as He Fen arrived, she gave Wang Ye a long lecture.
Wang Ye didn't know where she heard these rumors from.
However, he guessed it must be Zhou Hui who, upon discovering he had deleted her, went to He Fen and made up stories.
He Fen is easily swayed by rumors; she must have taken what she said to heart.
Wang Ye didn't care whether Zhou Hui meant well or not. He only knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and no one would be nice to you for no reason.
He decided to be blunt: "Mom, my shop doesn't need any advertising. Tell her to come less often in the future. I don't want to see her!"
He Fen followed Wang Ye around, nagging, "You brat! How can you not tell right from wrong! Who do you think Huihui did this for? Isn't it all for you? She's already made her stance clear, so you should do something in return!"
Wang Ye was baffled. "What action? Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? I won't get a divorce. Even if I do, I won't be with her. She's clearly from a different world than us. Why are you still trying to please her?"
"You!" He Fen pointed angrily at Wang Ye.
"What did I do now? You're not thinking of jumping off a building again, are you? Mom, if you insist on using this method to force me, you'll only make things worse. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you end up burying your child, you'll be the one who regrets it."
"Pah! Pah! Pah! What do you mean by 'white-haired people burying black-haired people'? Shut up!"
Wang Ye snorted inwardly.
Sure enough, the only way to deal with He Fen was to use her own methods against her.
He Fen's eyes darted around, and she seemed to have thought of something, so she actually relented.
“If you really don’t want to be with Zhou Hui, Mom won’t force you. Mom knows you’re thinking about Bai Yi, but don’t blame me for not warning you, this Bai Yi is no pushover.”
He Fen deliberately smeared Bai Yi, saying, "Last time when Mom was in the hospital, she saw her being ambiguous with another man. Now she's in another city, far from the emperor's reach, who knows what she might do."
Men are all concerned about their image. Wang Ye is acting like nothing's wrong now, but as time goes on, he might start to have doubts.
Once suspicion arises, the two of them will become distrustful of each other. At that point, Wang Ye will get a divorce on his own without He Fen needing to persuade him.
He Fen was happily making plans in her heart, but who knew that Wang Ye was busy typing on the computer and didn't hear what she was saying at all.
He Fen slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Mom's talking to you! Didn't you hear me?!"
Wang Ye continued working without looking up and said, "I heard it, I heard it with both ears."
What did you hear?
Wang Ye replied dismissively, "Mom, don't worry. If Bai Yi really gets together with another man, I will immediately divorce my wife and grant her wish."
Although it was just a perfunctory remark, He Fen took it seriously and immediately said, "Just getting a divorce isn't enough! She also has to pay back all the money she spent on you after you got married!"
