1011 Perplexed and Smitten 71 (1/2)
”I've already guessed that.”
”Frankly speaking, I've also gotten a private investigator to do a background check on you. I found out that your family background… is far worse than mine. I'm not trying to mock you or anything. What I'm trying to say is, if Yan Ge's parents are dissatisfied with a background like mine, there's no way they'll accept yours. There won't be a future for you guys if you're incompatible in terms of status and background.
Not wanting to argue with her, Fang Erlan said, ”Ms. Yu, in due time, you'll find out what the exact situation is. If there's nothing else you have to say to me, please go back. There isn't much for us to talk about, Ms. Yu.”
There was no point for Yu Caiwei to stay any longer since Fang Erlan had already made things clear.
She stood up and drawled, ”You're making it sound as if I'm being nosy. Forget it.”
Yu Caiwei left while Fang Erlan leaned against the door and watched her enter the elevator. In the blink of an eye, the door opposite hers opened.
Standing by the door, Yan Ge asked, ”What did she say to you?”
”You saw everything through the peephole?”
”She wanted to see me but I didn't let her in. I then saw her going inside your apartment. What did she say to you?” he asked, remaining cool and composed.
”She said some really strange things to me and she seemed to really have believed the rumors on the news. She also told me that you two used to be in a relationship but your parents objected to it because of her family background and that your parents definitely wouldn't accept me.”
”Did she say anything else?” he asked with a frown.
”No.”
”How did you answer her?”
”What else could I possibly say? I just told her that she'll get the clear picture in due time. But…” Fang Erlan paused before continuing, ”Did her parents and yours really oppose to your relationship and made you two break up with each other?”
”That's only one of the reasons for our breakup.”
”Oh. I'm going back in,” she said sluggishly.
He did not utter another word and watched as she entered her apartment.

It was Bu Xianxian's first time seeing Shi Bao'er again ever since the pesticide incident.
Staring at the seven-year-old, Bu Xianxian gritted her teeth and questioned, ”Tell me, why did you add pesticides to my cosmetic products?”
Shi Bao'er retorted, ”You shameless hussy, I really want to ruin that face of yours!”
Bu Xianxian smirked smugly and said, ”Well, but you didn't get your wishes. I really didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age. Your mother has remarried, and I may not be your mother but I'll discipline you on your father's behalf. I'll teach you to have manners and obey instructions.”
Shi Bao'er completely disregarded her words and retorted, ”You may not be my mother, but you're staying in my house and pestering my father every day. You're not a member of my family and yet you're living in my house. I'll let you know what the rules are.”
It was rather amusing to hear such words from a young child, for it came off as senseless and frivolous.
Bu Xianxian gibed in amusement, ”Seriously? You?”
”Yes, me.” Shi Bao'er did not say anything else.
Not bothered by her at all, Bu Xianxian headed upstairs to take a nap. She locked the bedroom door from the inside.
Just as Bu Xianxian stepped inside the room, Shi Bao'er made her way downstairs.
Due to the pesticide incident, Shi Shaochuan had instructed the servants to store all the poisons and pesticides properly in a place that's out of Shi Bao'er's reach.
Thus, Shi Bao'er could not find any weapons that she could use, even after taking a walk around the house.
After racking her brains, she finally came up with a feasible plan to deal with Bu Xianxian.
Knock, knock. ”Who's there?” asked Bu Xianxian, who had just lain down in the bed.
