Ye Chuyue immediately realized what was going on and chuckled awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's just that I have a friend whose surname is also Ye."
Ye Yunting gave an uninterested "oh," while Ye Chuyue's expression became even more shocked.
This person not only looks exactly like her brother Ye Sinian, but even her cold tone and expression are exactly the same.
Could it be that Dad really did something wrong to Mom?
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Once he confirmed that the other person was not the one he was looking for, Ye Yunting's face was filled with indifference.
"etc!"
Urged on by Gu Baiwei, Ye Chuyue hesitantly asked another question: "Um, are you married?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunting shifted his gaze back to Ye Chuyue, stared at her for a while, and then asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Shouldn't the question be whether he has a girlfriend? After all, he's only 26 years old.
"Just curious, haha."
Ye Chuyue glared at Gu Baiwei beside her, speechless. Why did she have to ask such a stupid question, making it seem like she was interested in him?
Time ticked by, and just when she thought he wouldn't answer her, Ye Yunting slowly said, "It's settled."
Before Ye Chuyue could react, Lu Ran, standing next to her, squeezed into the camera with a shocked expression: "Holy crap, Lao Ye, you actually got married? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
Ye Yunting ignored him, his deep eyes staring straight at Ye Chuyue through the screen, as if he were looking at someone through her.
Ye Chuyue instantly felt like she'd been caught doing something wrong by her older brother, and a chill ran down her spine.
After a long pause, Ye Yunting finally spoke: "Any other questions?"
Ye Chuyue shook her head frantically: "That's all, that's all."
The video was cut off the moment the words were spoken.
As the screen went dark, she let out a long sigh of relief, and the fear of being dominated by her older brother slowly dissipated.
"Who was that person just now? Why does he look so much like my brother?"
Ye Chuyue turned to look at Gu Baiwei, only to see that the other woman had her brows furrowed and her expression was solemn.
Never mind, she shouldn't have asked.
Once it was confirmed that the person was Ye Yunting, Gu Baiwei was much calmer than she had imagined.
As memories of her past life surfaced in her mind, she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
In her past life, she chased after him relentlessly, giving up everything, but still didn't receive his favor. In this second life, she only wants to be herself and protect her two children.
She closed her eyes, concealing all emotions within them: Ye Yunting, I'm letting go.
She made a silent resolution in her heart, and despite her best efforts to restrain herself, tears still streamed down her face.
Seeing her like this, Ye Chuyue hurriedly wiped away her tears: "Why are you crying? Hey, don't cry, I promise I won't bother you anymore, okay?"
Seeing her helpless expression, Gu Baiwei immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
Ye Chuyue patted her on the shoulder casually: "Don't be sad, I'll take you to a nice place."
"This is the good place you were talking about?"
Gu Baiwei stared in disbelief at the gaudy bar sign in front of her.
"As the saying goes, a good drink can solve a thousand worries. There's no problem that a good drink can't solve. Come on, let me broaden your horizons."
Ye Chuyue and his brother put their arms around her shoulders as if they were brothers, and swaggered inside.
Gu Baiwei wasn't an unreasonable parent, but it was just that it wasn't safe for a girl to come to a bar alone.
She turned to Ye Chuyue with a serious expression: "Do you come here often?"
Ye Chuyue met her serious gaze and belatedly realized that although this person was young, she was, after all, her nominal aunt.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"No...no, I've only come here twice when I was in a bad mood."
She felt a little guilty for a moment. In fact, she had come here many times before when she had quarreled with Ye Sinian.
Gu Baiwei looked at her solemnly: "If you want to come again in the future, I'll come with you. Don't come alone anymore, okay?"
Seeing her incredibly earnest expression, Ye Chuyue felt a warmth in her heart for no reason. No one had ever cared for her like this before. If her mother were still alive, she probably would have cared for her like this too.
She was silent for a moment, then nodded obediently: "Okay."
The moment the two appeared together at the bar, they attracted the attention of everyone present.
One is youthful and beautiful, the other is charming and alluring; their different styles of beauty collide and are very eye-catching.
Soon, men couldn't resist and went up to chat with them.
"Ladies, would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?"
Shen Yanqing sat in a corner of the bar, witnessing this scene, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
Beside him, a sexy woman with exquisite makeup leaned forward: "Brother Chen, want to have a drink together?"
The woman whispered in his ear, her fingers tracing suggestively across his shoulder: "If Brother Chen is willing, anything else is fine too."
Shen Yanqing downed his drink in one gulp, then reached out and lifted the woman's chin: "Hmm? Anything is fine?"
His long, slender fingers traced the woman's fair neck, and under her expectant gaze, they slowly tightened: "Killing me is also an option?"
The sudden drop in air pressure startled the woman, and she immediately broke free from his hand with a look of terror on her face.
Shen Yanqing wiped his fingers clean one by one with disdain, his deep eyes staring with interest at the woman surrounded by the crowd. He then picked up another glass of wine and slowly swirled it.
On the other side, the greasy-looking middle-aged man was still relentlessly pestering Gu Baiwei and her companions.
Gu Baiwei frowned in disgust: "No need, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Ye Chuyue to leave, but the middle-aged man grabbed her wrist: "Do you know who I am? Don't you dare refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences."
The crowd was drawn to the commotion.
"Isn't this Boss Chen? It's said that he has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. These two girls are in real trouble because he's got his eye on them."
"That's right. Of all people to mess with, they had to mess with Boss Chen. He's a favorite of Boss Shen."
"Tch, dressed up like that at a bar, isn't it just to pick up guys? What's with the high and mighty act?"
Boss Chen grinned lewdly: "If you've given me my fill of fun today, I'll let you off the hook; otherwise..."
His eyes, with their excessive whites, leered at the two of them, his gaze filled with undisguised, naked desire.
"Otherwise what?"
Gu Baiwei disgustedly shook off that hand and met Boss Chen's gaze without fear.
Boss Chen licked his lips: "Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't stay in Linhai City, huh..."
Before he could finish speaking, Boss Chen let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Gu Baiwei's heel slammed into his instep, and she couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that she was wearing high heels today.
"You bitch, you dare step on me?"
Boss Chen roared and raised his heavy hand.
Those around Gu Baiwei couldn't help but feel a chill for her. This woman looked so frail; if she were to be slapped like that, she would be half-dead.
