Bai Jinyi’s mood suddenly took a turn for the worse However, she couldn’t lose her teer members of the household, so she just sat on the sofa and sipped at her coffee
Bai Yueran sat next to her and said disapprovingly, “Aunt, stop listening to Huo Jialan She’s not that smart and only thinks about relationshi+ps between men and women Mr Huo is not that kind of person, and Gu Nianzhi is his assignuardian after all, so how could Huo Jialan think of using her to threaten Mr Huo?”
“You really think that they don’t have that kind of relationshi+p? I’ve heard Jialan say that they live together in the same suite in the Huo manor, and act intimately with each other Some expressions can’t be faked” Bai Jinyi said blankly as she held her coffee She’d thought she was using Huo Shaoheng’s weakness, and had never ih character: it would be difficult to deal with hi a weak point
“Mr Huo has raised Gu Nianzhi for six years, of course therein comparison to his mission and national interests I understand Mr Huo very well— he’s not soravity of the situation” Bai Yueran knew in her bones that she was the sa It was because they were too alike that they had never clicked ro, could have set the Jinning?” Bai Jinyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan “Mr Huo hasn’t been back for so many years already, but then he took her away as soon as he’d returned I’”
“Aunt, why are you so worried about Mr Huo reuniting with his mother?” Bai Yueran looked pointedly at Bai Jinyi “Do you have so from me, Father, and Third Uncle?”
Bai Jinyi looked away in disco, “It’s nothing, I’d just heard Jialan say that Song Jinning’s condition had iht recover her consciousness”
“Oh” Bai Yueran intoned “And that’s it?”
“Of course Think about it I was good friends with her, but now she’s divorced and I’m with her ex-husband…” Bai Jinyi trailed off with irritation She looked up at Bai Jiancheng “Elder Brother, I want to breakup with Huo Guanchen”
“No” Bai Jiancheng iether with hi up in the ranks now You can’t be so capricious”
Bai Jinyi slu of the study blankly If it had beenHuo Guanyuan, she would probably have even been willing to be hisas he’d wanted her…
But Huo Guanchen… she couldn’t say he wasn’t good So many years had passed and he had undoubtedly treated her better than Huo Guanyuan had, but it was still hard to settle for him But now, Huo Guanyuan didn’t exist in the world anymore, so it wasn’t all that unacceptable to be with Huo Guanchen Bai Jinyi conte, “I can get engaged to Huo Guanchen We’re not in a rush to get married Besides, he already has a son already anyway” At her age, she couldn’t have a child anyotlooked at her seriously before considering the idea and nodding “Then let’s get you engaged first Reo to the Huo’s in the next few days to mention it to Huo Guanchen”
“I understand” Bai Jinyi downed her coffee and got up to follow Bai Changhui out fro’s study After they’d left, Bai Yueran, while looking at Bai Jinyi’s retreating back, whispered to Bai Jiancheng, “Father, I think Aunt is still hiding soist of what happened all those years ago and grunted quietly, “Leave it be; you still have to work on General Ji a bitback in a few days, so remember to prepare a rooo and now your Uncle is gone too I’ outside alone”
“Shuang is co back?” Bai Yueran’s face lit up with joy, “That’s wonderful! I’ll go pick her up Please let ht and the date when the time comes”

Gu Nianzhi reached out to take his hand, giving it a friendly pinch “Huo Shao, I’ asked again “Chen Lie said that you can take painkillers after 48 hours”
