Bamboo horse teases green plum 19 Bai Ming's marriage partner

  Bai Ming's spouse

  Xiao Ji's sharp eyes flashed a hint of surprise.

  "Don't know?"

  "Hmm, I don't know!"

  Pei Yue met her gaze and nodded affirmatively.

  Xiao Ji moved her lips, but she suppressed her doubts and said nothing. Her inquiring gaze lingered on Pei Yue's calm face for a long time before she slowly spoke up after some deliberation.

  "Xiao Yue, tell Auntie the truth, what's going on between you and Xiao Ming from our family?"

  Pei Yue raised her eyes and met Xiao Ji's sharp gaze, which seemed to have X-ray vision. A smile spread across her lips as she thought that all mothers under the sky were alike, and it wasn't just her own mother who didn't want her to get involved with Bai Ming!

  "Auntie, don't worry, I have nothing to do with Bai Ming. Even if you insist on finding a connection between us, it's just an old acquaintance from childhood."

  Pei Yue said so, not intentionally catering to Xiao Ji, but a big truth. Since she met Bai Ming again, she has always defined the relationship between the two as old acquaintances.

  Xiao Ji smiled, her lips curling up, and Bai Ming followed her gaze. This smile was also accompanied by a sharp and cold elegance, making it impossible to discern her true intentions.

  "Now that you've said so, I can rest assured. Although Xiao Ming is not married yet, the object of his marriage was decided many years ago, it's Lina Kuang, the daughter of Secretary Kuang from our municipal party committee back in the day, do you still remember her?"

  Pei Yue smiled and nodded, that was Bai Ming's first girlfriend to acknowledge in front of her. From childhood to adulthood, she had been in the same class as Bai Ming, how could she not remember? If she wasn't mistaken, this Kuang Secretary was now holding an important position in Beijing, just like Bai's father.

  "Uh-huh, Sister Lina, I remember."

  At that time, Qiu Lina and Pei Yue were known as the "Double Flowers of the Grand Courtyard", a true beauty.

  "Whether it's the Bai family or Xiao Ming, they have a special status and identity, and every move they make in their daily lives is being watched by many eyes. In official circles, personal conduct problems are most taboo, and Xiao Ming has just taken office not long ago, I don't want him to mess things up on this matter."

  Xiao Ji spoke ambiguously, but Pei Yue wouldn't be unable to hear the implicit meaning behind her words.

  Pei Yue understood that in Xiao Jie's eyes, the tall gate of the Bai family mansion was something that even her own father couldn't match when he was still vice mayor of L City, let alone the current Pei family who were just ordinary citizens.

  "Auntie, I understand."

  Pei Yue was troubled by Bai Ming these days and didn't mind doing a favor, taking the opportunity to pack Bai Ming up and send him away.

  Pai Yue, who had gotten a good deal, nodded cleverly. In front of this strong and domineering female boss, she didn't need to waste her breath explaining herself. What she wanted was simply an answer that satisfied her, and she wouldn't care about the process at all.

  Only a few words, the two had reached an agreement. Pei Yue was originally worried about not being able to get rid of Bai Ming's house arrest, but now he suddenly thought of a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

  "Auntie, when you leave later, can you drop me off at my friend's place on your way?"

  Xiao Ji readily agreed, unaware that Pei Yue had been forcibly brought back by her own son, and thought the girl had made a timely decision.

  Bai Ming was still in the study, Pei Yue didn't avoid suspicion and made a phone call to Sang Xiaojuan in front of Xiao Ji, telling her that she would be going to her house for a few days to rest.

  Before long, the doctor came over to help Pei Yue change her dressing. Taking advantage of Bai Ming's absence, Pei Yue asked the doctor to leave all the medicine for the next week behind.

  When Zhao Wentao's call came in, Bai Ming had just come out of the study and saw Pei Yue holding her mobile phone, hesitating whether to answer it or not, frowning at her.

  Pei Yue couldn't help but feel a little pleased with herself as she saw him like that. Feeling that she had done nothing wrong, she answered the phone openly and honestly.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Oh, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."

  "Tomorrow? I'm afraid it's not possible, I have a business trip tomorrow and my return date is not fixed, sorry!"

  "Okay, I'll be back in touch with you later."

  Bai Ming's face didn't look good, and when Pei Yue finally hung up the phone, he couldn't care less about Xiao Ji being there, and bluntly threw out a sentence.

  "Have less contact with him from now on."

  "Hmm." Pei Yuetou didn't bother to respond, she was too lazy to argue with Bai Ming about this, it was her own business after all.

  Bai Nainai and Bai Ming didn't know that, when they were not around, Pei Yue reached a certain understanding with Xiao Jie. During dinner, Bai Nainai repeatedly reminded Pei Yue to visit the White House more often when she was free to accompany her.

  Pei Yue felt the fiery gaze of Xiao Jie shooting towards him, even though he was facing an old man. He knew it was impossible to visit her as the old man wished, yet he couldn't bear to deceive her, so he just laughed awkwardly.

  "Grandma Bai, I've been quite busy lately, probably won't have time to visit you in the near future."

  As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ming took over.

  "Grandma, once Xiaoyue is better, I'll take her back to keep you company!"

  With her grandson as guarantee, Grandma Bai was overjoyed and beamed with happiness.

  Xiao Ji looked thoughtfully at her son, then glanced at Pei Yue, seeing that Pei Yue was eating calmly as if the matter didn't concern him, Xiao Ji didn't say anything more.

  She knows her own son's temperament well. If she wants to play tricks on him and cause trouble, she has no chance of winning.

  It's just that from Pei Yue's reaction and indifferent attitude today, it's not hard to see that this girl doesn't think much of her own son, which means she's saved herself a lot of trouble.

  After dinner, Pei Yue accompanied two elderly people in the living room, while Xiao Ji pulled Bai Ming to one side.

  "Xiao Ming, we'll go with Xiao Yue together to visit your Aunt Xin later."

  Bai Ming wanted to refuse, but couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had no choice but to let Pei Yue and several elders leave the house. Before leaving, he instructed Pei Yue again.

  "Xiao Yue, tomorrow I'll have Xiao Fang pick you up."

  "Uh-huh." Bae Yoo-jin replied obediently as usual.

  The car drove on the road for about ten minutes. Xiao Ji answered a phone call and after hanging up, she said to Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai.

  "Dad, Mom, I'm in a hurry to go back and deal with some things now. Can we visit Xiaoyue's house another day?"

  The two elderly people did not suspect anything and let the driver drop off Pei Yue halfway.

  Pei Yue hailed a taxi and rushed to Sang Xiao's villa, sat down in the house, Pei Yue's first thing was to call her mother.

  "Mom, I'm going on a business trip to Province D for a week. The signal there isn't very good, so don't keep calling me, I'll call you."

  Holding onto the phone, Pei Yue obediently listened to her mother's nagging for a while before hanging up and turning off the phone.

  "How did it end up like this?"

  Sang Xiaotong handed a glass of iced water to Pei Yue and sat down beside her.

  "Alas, let's not mention it, a doomed relationship!"

  Pei Yue sighed, tilted her head back and "gulp gulp" poured the entire large cup of iced water into her stomach. The icy coldness rushed from her mouth to her stomach, spreading a chill throughout her five organs and six viscera.

  But the annoyance in her heart did not decrease by half a bit.

  She knew better than anyone that she couldn't avoid it forever, and now that she had gotten herself into trouble with Bai Ming, this big nuisance!
