Chapter 326 The Stage is Set
For a moment, the child's shrill cries almost lifted the roof off.
Yu Baisu stood there blankly, her face pale and her eyes brimming with tears. She looked extremely pitiful. She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with one hand. Only Yunzhi caught a glimpse of humiliation and malice in her eyes.
Yunzhi's thin lips curved into a subtle smile. It seemed that the two who were on the same side in their past lives were now irreconcilable enemies. She propped her head up with one hand, and the schadenfreude in her eyes ignited the anger that Yu Baisu had finally managed to suppress.
Yu Baisu bit her lip, and because she bit too hard, a row of teeth marks appeared on her lower lip.
She looked at Ye Ze, who was still crying and making a fuss, and felt even more annoyed.
Cry, cry, cry! All they do is cry all day long, they're crying away all their good fortune.
Yu Baisu would rather Ye Ze stay here and never go back! That way, when her child is born, he will be the only child in the Ye family, and everything in the Ye family will belong to her and her child.
She gently stroked her abdomen with one hand, recalling that her period hadn't come last month. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, but when she looked up again, her eyes were already blurry with tears. She gently tugged at the man with cold, menacing features, and said in a trembling voice.
“Ayan, how about… how about letting Xiaoze stay with Miss Yun? Xiaoze is still sick, so he must have been taken back by Miss Yun. That’s why he trusts Miss Yun. Maybe Miss Yun is better at coaxing children than I am.” Yu Baisu gave a bitter smile, looking as if all her energy had been drained, and she wilted in an instant. “If Xiaoze is willing to go back, I can leave. Anyway, Xiaoze hates me so much.”
Yunzhi sat up slightly at this moment. She frowned, not because she was disgusted by Yu Baisu's teasing words, but because she was unhappy that Yu Baisu wanted to leave Ye Ze here. This was not a daycare center where just anyone could leave their child here.
Besides, did Yu Baisu ask for her consent before saying that? This person is quite presumptuous, Yunzhi almost sneered.
At this moment, Yu Baisu glanced at Yun Zhi cautiously, "Miss Yun should also agree to let Xiao Ze stay here to recuperate, after all, Miss Yun likes Xiao Ze so much, and Xiao Ze likes Miss Yun so much too. He was willing to stay here for half a day for Miss Yun."
Sowing discord? Yunzhi raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chengyan frowned and looked at Yunzhi, as if scrutinizing her.
Yun's parents were unhappy, but just as they were about to speak, Yun Zhi interrupted them. Yun Zhi stood up, her eyes as bright and dazzling as the moon in the sky, and stared straight at Yu Baisu.
Yu Baisu's feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch. At that moment, Yu Baisu felt as if she had been seen through. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly put on a brave face.
Yunzhi curled her lips into a mocking smile, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Yu Baisu. "Yes, I don't know what's wrong with your family that makes Ye Ze so resistant to going back. Ye Ze is just a child, and he's at the age where he can best distinguish who likes him and who doesn't. I also want to ask Miss Yu, what did you do to make Ye Ze hate you so much? Sometimes, instead of looking for reasons in others, it's better to reflect on yourself."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Miss Yu isn't so poor that she has nowhere to live. You and Mr. Ye are living under the same roof, so you must be preparing to adjust to each other's lifestyles, right? I think I've understood correctly."
Before Yu Baisu could speak, a rebuttal suddenly rang out, "No!"
Ye Chengyan's rebuttal was like a sharp blade piercing Yu Baisu's heart. Yu Baisu took a deep breath, feeling pain even in her breathing. Her hand, hanging by her side, trembled slightly, and the question stuck in her throat almost came out. She wanted to ask Ye Chengyan, if he didn't intend to marry her, why did he fail to hold his ground time and time again under her instigation?
Yunzhi scoffed softly, and the surroundings seemed to fall silent at that moment.
At this moment, Yu Baisu did not forget to make amends for herself and Ye Chengyan, "Miss Yun, you have misunderstood. Ayan and I are childhood sweethearts and friends who grew up together. Ayan just gave me a place to stay. If Miss Yun is unhappy, I can move out immediately."
Ugh, that taste again.
In her previous life, Yu Baisu was just like that. She took over her man and, after being discovered, repeatedly acted like a victim to gain Ye Chengyan's sympathy and pity.
She had told herself more than once that she would leave Ye Chengyan, but every time Ye Chengyan would appear in time, like a savior, shielding Yu Baisu behind him, looking at her with disgust, accusing her of being petty and narrow-minded, and that because he was impure, he saw everything as dirty.
Now? What will Ye Chengyan say next?
Yunzhi looked at Ye Chengyan with a half-smile, expecting him to make a statement, at least like before, saying that he didn't need to leave. But Ye Chengyan was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
Yunzhi saw the light in Yu Baisu's eyes dim at this moment, and she really couldn't help but burst out laughing. Under everyone's gaze, she wiped away the tears that had overflowed from the corners of her eyes, waved her hand, and gave a perfunctory apology.
"Excuse me, I suddenly thought of something funny. By the way, Miss Yu, you and Mr. Ye are childhood sweethearts, inseparable since you were little. Mr. Ye and I have no relationship. Even if someone minds, it should be Mr. Ye's future wife who minds. What does it have to do with me? Whether you stay in the Ye family villa or not, I don't care at all. I won't get involved in your family affairs."
Ye Chengyan's expression changed slightly.
Yu Baisu's face also turned pale and then flushed.
Just then, the doorbell outside the gate rang frantically, as if something urgent had happened. Yunzhi stood up and quickly walked to the video doorbell. She saw President Bai with one hand on his hip, panting heavily, while pressing the doorbell repeatedly with the other hand.
Mr. Bai is here; this is going to be interesting.
Yunzhi raised an eyebrow and opened the door directly.
She turned around and looked at Yu Baisu and Ye Chengyan, who were still standing there. Her mischievousness grew. Since they didn't want to leave, then they shouldn't leave. The stage was already set up, and the actors had arrived.
A minute later, President Bai rushed into the villa's hall like a ball. When he stopped and saw Yu Baisu, he wanted nothing more than to pounce on her and tear her apart. It was this woman who had instigated Bai Weiwei behind the scenes. That fool Bai Weiwei not only believed her lies but also implicated the entire Bai family.
