Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Why Do I Always Get Caught by Duan Feihan?
The Bai Family received a wedding invitation, which clearly stated, “Inviting the Bai patriarch, Bai Hongguang and his wife Liu Man, and their daughter Miss Yinyin to attend the wedding.”
Chuwei’s name was nowhere to be mentioned.
Bai Yinyin held the invitation with a sneaky smile, while Bai Guofu was fuming with anger.
What was the meaning of this? They dare not invite the founding ancestor of the Bai Family?
Bai Chuwei calmly ate her cherries, “Why are you getting angry, Xiaofu? The invitation was written by Tong Yunrou, not the Duan Family, and besides, I don’t plan to go anyway.”
On the day of the wedding, the person Tong Yunrou probably least wanted to see would be her.
Bai Hongguang, who was beside them, had a thought and immediately said, “How about this? Yinyin and Dad, you two go. I won’t attend either.”
Bai Chuwei gave Bai Hongguang a meaningful look, and Bai Hongguang explained to a puzzled Bai Guofu, “Liu Man is still in the hospital, it’s one hundred days for a bone to heal, and I want to take care of her.”
Bai Yinyin’s heart skipped a beat, looking doubtfully at Bai Hongguang. Did she not know what kind of man her father was? Him taking care of her mother seemed impossible, right?
“Dad, you…”
With a “ding—”, a notification sound for an incoming bank transfer echoed from a cellphone.
Bai Yinyin swallowed, realizing her father had transferred money to her again, and not a small sum this time—it was a full fifty thousand.
Bai Yinyin found herself hesitating.
If her mother knew about her father’s affairs, at most there would be some quarreling and she wouldn’t dare to divorce. Now, with her mother sick in the hospital, if she told her mother about her father’s philandering at this time, it might worsen her mother’s condition, right?
Besides, her… she had her high school exams in a month and needed a quiet study environment. She couldn’t let them keep arguing over this at home and disturb her studies, could she?
Bai Yinyin held her phone close and bowed her head, setting a small goal for herself; she would tell Liu Man after her exams were over.
Bai Chuwei smiled with prolonged meaning, Bai Yinyin truly was Liu Man’s good daughter.
Liu Man might not be a good person, but she was exceptionally good to Bai Yinyin, her only daughter, always thinking of the best for her. And Bai Yinyin… ts, ts.
Hopefully, her foster mother will be able to withstand the shock in the future.
Bai Chuwei had no time to burst the bubble, carrying a cloth bag filled with vegetables and walking outside.
Bai Chuwei had the driver take her to Juxian Pavilion, sitting in the back of the car she received a call from Duan Feihan.
The man’s voice was like the slow strains of a cello, transmitted through the wireless with a distinct flavor, “Where are you?”
Bai Chuwei didn’t even think before immediately replying, “I’m studying.”
Whenever encountering Duan Feihan, no matter the excuse, saying she was studying was always the right answer.
After all, Duan Feihan always hoped she would focus on her studies!
Duan Feihan said indifferently, “Alright then.”
Bai Chuwei slightly curved her lips; sure enough, claiming she was studying meant Duan Feihan wouldn’t come to bother her.
The car arrived at the entrance of Juxian Pavilion, and shortly after, a black sedan also pulled up, conveniently parking next to theirs.
Bai Chuwei furrowed her brows and immediately looked over at the black sedan—
The sedan window rolled down, revealing the man’s handsome, refined profile with a perfectly curved jawline.
Bai Chuwei: “???”
Duan Feihan?
Bai Chuwei really felt defeated. How could they have met like this?
Duan Feihan got out of the car, approached her, and asked, “You come to the restaurant to study?”
Bai Chuwei didn’t understand why every time she claimed she was studying, she would get caught by Duan Feihan?
Why did she, an ancestor who had lived for more than five thousand years, need to study?
Bai Chuwei sighed, “I came to Juxian Pavilion to look for Cao Jinhai about something.”
Duan Feihan commented, “What a coincidence, I have a dinner engagement at Juxian Pavilion tonight.”
