Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

"Hmm, we’re almost at our county town."

On the other end of the phone, after getting off the plane, Li Yuan spent 1000 yuan to hire a car directly back to his hometown county.

When Bai Weixi heard that Li Yuan was coming home, she was overjoyed, the tear stains on her face completely vanished, and she hurriedly asked:

"Hubby, where will you get off? I’ll come to pick you up now."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said directly: "I’ll get off at the roundabout near your home, wait for me there."

Bai Weixi nodded quickly: "Okay, I’ll head out right now, see you there!"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Bye-bye!"

...

After Bai Weixi hung up the phone, she noticed her parents looking at her with complex expressions.

Biting her lip, Bai Weixi looked at her parents with a firm gaze, slightly parting her lips:

"I need to go out for a bit!"

Just as Bai Weixi was about to leave, she heard a voice by her ear.

"Bai, wait!"

Bai Weixi turned around, speaking each word deliberately: "Mom, are you not letting me go see him?"

Yang Jinyu looked at her precious daughter and her body trembled suddenly.

That gaze left her with no doubt that if she were to stop Bai Weixi now, this foolish girl would do something drastic...

Yang Jinyu took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone:

"I’m not stopping you, I just want to ask, is Li Yuan coming back?"

Bai Weixi glanced at Bai Tianqi, who was staring blankly without any reaction, and then nodded.

"Yes, he’s arriving soon, and I want to go pick him up."

When Yang Jinyu heard that Li Yuan was returning, she didn’t know what to think.

She opened her mouth, intending to invite him to their home, but seeing Bai Tianqi beside her, she swallowed her words.

"Then go ahead, be careful!"

"Mm!"

Bai Weixi felt a bit confused by her parents’ current attitude, but the joy of soon seeing Li Yuan filled her heart completely.

She quickly returned to the bedroom, freshened up, and dressed simply. With her natural beauty and youthful appearance, she looked stunning even without any makeup.

Compared to her high school days, the nourishment of love combined with the regular use of various luxurious skincare products had made her even more radiant...

Bai Weixi hurriedly grabbed her Hermes bag and Mercedes car keys and rushed out.

Seeing their daughter hastily leave to meet that rascal,

Yang Jinyu glanced at Bai Tianqi, whose expression was continuously changing, sighed, and slowly spoke:

"Old Bai, I think we shouldn’t meddle too much in Bai’s matters now. This is quite good; as long as Bai is happy and living well, we as parents should stay out of it."

Bai Tianqi carefully placed the property deed on the table.

This property deed was their daughter’s asset and carried a lot of weight.

Bai Tianqi frowned and said: "Jinyu, what do you think we should do then, just let that rascal have affairs with multiple people?"

Yang Jinyu glimpsed at her husband, being a woman from a big city, she knew far more than Bai Tianqi and had none of Bai Tianqi’s idealistic "scholarly sentiments."

In big cities, such situations aren’t uncommon; true affluent people often have stable relationships at home while having affairs outside...

It’s just that many people cannot accept such circumstances.

Especially if someone as cherished as their only daughter encounters such a person.

"Old Bai, Bai and Li Yuan are just dating now, who can say what the future holds."

"From what I know, Li Yuan and Bai’s feelings are very deep; they were high school classmates. This situation may involve some misunderstandings, and all we need to do is quietly watch. Breaking them up now will only damage our relationship with our daughter."

"Once the misunderstandings between Bai and Li Yuan are cleared up, I believe they will eventually be together."

Bai Tianqi thought of the rumors he had heard and frowned, saying:

"How will the neighbors, relatives, and colleagues view this?"

"These days, rumors are everywhere, and the things they say are dreadful, as you know!"

Yang Jinyu chuckled, giving a sidelong glance at the face-loving, daughter’s slave Bai Tianqi, and said:

"Hmph, who cares about them, they’re all just sour grapes."

"You drive a Mercedes, wear a Rolex, and drink Maotai; aren’t they all envious of you? As for those gossiping women, let them talk if they want to, it doesn’t affect us at all..."

"If worse comes to worst, haha, show them this!"

Yang Jinyu picked up the property deed and waved it around.

A house worth over ten million would shatter all the rumors, leaving them envious and regretting not having such a fortunate daughter.

Affairs and mistresses don’t compare to the shock of a mansion worth tens of millions...

Coming from a big city and working in education for decades, Yang Jinyu understood human nature too well.

While people disparage the poor and worship the wealthy, there’s another saying that fits perfectly.

They fear their brothers’ hardships and also fear when their brothers drive Land Rovers...

Bai Tianqi furrowed his brows, remaining silent.

What Yang Jinyu said was true. Since the National Day when he returned home in a luxury car, he’s been receiving endless compliments.

They envy him for finding a good son-in-law.

Now, thinking about it calmly, the spread of so many rumors might indeed stem from the envy, jealousy, and grudges that Yang Jinyu mentioned, the "sour grapes" mentality...
