Chapter 627 - Heard It (2/2)

”It's not hard to get someone to lie for you, but we aren't going to do that. Today, you can make this kind of ridiculous requests just for Bai Luoyin; but as a mother myself—to protect my daughter's safety, I can do things that you can't even imagine I am capable of. Don't think that only your Bai family has all the authority. Just a friendly reminder, you can always check my background, Mr. Bai.”

At that moment, Xia Ruoxin decided to use the Chu family's status not for herself, but for Rainy. The incident between her and Chu Lui was known throughout the city, starting from their divorce to the vying of the child's custody. It was not hard to check all of this.

If he wanted to find a saving grace from her, he was looking for the wrong person.

She had already unlocked the door, and with a slight pull, the door would be open.

”Mr. Bai, I still have some stuff on later so please…”

For the first time in his life, Bai Zhenfeng—who had just got chased out—had the urge to kill someone… a woman even. Xia Ruoxin opened the door and stood there without even looking at Bai Zhenfeng in the eye.

When Bai Zhenfeng was about to walk past her, she opened her mouth again. ”Mr. Bai, have you ever considered Auntie Wei when you do this? Bai Luoyin is your daughter, but Gao Yi is her son. Auntie Wei gave you her entire life. Your daughter is precious, but her son isn't nothing. Mr. Bai, I admit that you are a good father, but you will never ever be a good husband.”

Bai Zhenfeng's face darkened, and he walked out with his facial expression tensed up. However, his body was stuck there, and he could not make any move forward. Xia Ruoxin followed his line of sight, and she bit her lip slightly. She did not know if this was fate or pure coincidence.

Sometimes, a person really could not do something wrong. It's not that karma would not come; it was just that the time was not ripe.

The person standing there was not anyone else but Wei Lan. She would have heard their conversion just now since the walls of the house were not soundproof, and the door was ajar. It would be easy to hear their voices that were not hushed.

There was no need to ask her how she knew. When Rainy was playing at home—once there was a noise outside, she would know instinctively who had arrived… no matter if it was Little Amy or Madam Mei Fu. If a child could differentiate, let alone an a.d.u.l.t.

She walked back in and left the space to the couple.

At this point, there seemed to be something stuck in Bai Zhenfeng's throat. It was hard and bitter to even call out Wei Lan's name.

Wei Lan moved her pale lips slightly. Suddenly, she smiled.

That smile, however, caused Bai Zhenfeng to fear. He was horrified. He did not know how much did Wei Lan hear, and now, he was really scared. All these years, it was the first time he was so scared, scared to lose this thing that was irreplaceable in his life. If he lost this, he was not sure how he could continue living.

Wei Lan walked over and extended her hand while Bai Zhenfeng did not move an inch. He was prepared to be hit. It was okay, as long as she calmed down and he could explain the reason behind all of this to her, it would all be okay. He would not let Gao Yi get into trouble; all of this was just temporary.

However, Wei Lan did not raise her hand to give him a slap. She raised it to habitually place it on his chest and dutifully arrange his clothes. It had always been like that for the past twenty years.
