But after all, it’s been so many years of being together. The two are engaged, and their mothers are colleagues at the same workplace. So unless something really principle-breaking happens, they wouldn’t break up.
Yet that principle-breaking thing did happen, and it happened right in front of Bai Shasha. Cao Yufan kept accusing her of being petty and making false accusations. But what did he do? He kissed Meng Xi passionately in the little forest. How could anyone tolerate this?
Bai Shasha is the kind of person who can’t let a speck of sand in her eyes. She broke up with him right away and informed both families.
Well, that’s life—until something really happens, no one knows what someone’s true colors are.
Cao Yufan’s mother, upon hearing the news, went straight to Bai Shasha’s home. That day happened to be a coincidence: her parents weren’t home. When Bai Shasha opened the door and saw her future mother-in-law, someone she had gotten along quite well with in the past—who had previously claimed to treat her like her own daughter—she felt complicated. Still, she politely invited her in.
As soon as Mrs. Cao sat down, she began criticizing her son. Only after a long rant did she plead with Bai Shasha to forgive him just this once. She insisted it was all a big misunderstanding, saying she’d questioned him thoroughly, and that the girl was the one chasing him relentlessly.
Bai Shasha countered, "Then how did they end up kissing? What I saw—was that fake?"
Mrs. Cao argued for a long time. Seeing Bai Shasha’s firm stance, without budging an inch, it was unclear whether she panicked or simply let something slip. She blurted out a whole spiel, saying that the girl’s family conditions were far better than the Bai Family’s. If it hadn’t been for Cao Yufan insisting on choosing Bai Shasha back then, she wouldn’t have seen anything special in her.
Anyway, it ended quite unhappily. Bai Shasha didn’t even tell her mom about it. So as of now, Mrs. Bai is still completely in the dark.
"I swear! A mother-in-law isn’t your mom, and a future mother-in-law is definitely not even close!"
Li Si exclaimed with emotion and then thought about her own mother-in-law. Would she be the same way? Right now everything is peaceful and harmonious, seemingly perfect. But the day something happens, wouldn’t she still be treated as just an outsider?
After venting, Bai Shasha felt so much better! Keeping all this bottled up was truly suffocating. She knows her own mom’s personality too well. If her mom learned how Cao Yufan and his mother had treated her, she’d surely explode in anger. Could she let them off the hook?
Considering her mom and Mrs. Cao are colleagues, who knows how things might escalate? That’s why Bai Shasha has decided to keep this secret for now. Once she eventually finds a new boyfriend and moves on, then she’ll tell her mother.
"Brilliant! Si, I’ve been way too naïve in my thinking! Sure, they say they care about me, but how can their care for me ever surpass their care for their own son? We don’t share even a single drop of blood connection, and you expect them to pour their heart and soul into you? That’s just daydreaming!"
"I’m grateful to the heavens, really! At least I got to see through this before getting married. Otherwise, I’d just be another divorcée right now!"
"This is much better—I’m still young, still beautiful, and my life is just beginning! Without encountering scumbags, how can one truly grow up? Don’t you think so?"
Li Si shot her a thumbs-up and silently gave her a 32-point admiration: "Shasha, you’re on fire now! You’ve basically said everything I wanted to say to comfort you, leaving me nothing to add!"
"Fuh! Get out of here! I’ve finished my rant; it’s your turn now! By the way, I’ve noticed something interesting. Spill the beans—have you and your darling done that thing yet?" Bai Shasha teased with a mischievous grin, eyes gleaming as she playfully "sharpened her knife" in anticipation of Li Si’s confession. After all, she’d already deduced from Li Si’s slightly swollen red lips that something intense had probably happened.
"Hehehe, yeah!" Li Si didn’t bother hiding anything from Bai Shasha. If not her, then who could she with? This update is available on n0velfire.net
And so, the conversation between the two girls completely derailed—they began an in-depth discussion about "that thing."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Leng, who Li Si had mentioned earlier, frustratedly hung up the phone and started pacing back and forth in her room. Qian Rouxuan had called her just moments ago and casually remarked that her mother’s health was much improved. She’d soon be heading back to the United States.
This news hit Mrs. Leng like a bombshell, leaving her completely shaken. Her son had insisted she leave everything to him and stop interfering, but recently there hadn’t been any progress at all. Facing the possibility of her future grandchild being taken overseas, how could she allow Qian Rouxuan to just take him away?
Once she’s gone, who knows when they’ll reunite again!
Even though Mrs. Leng still disliked Qian Rouxuan, the child was innocent—especially that adorably charming little one, who never failed to evoke her longing.
Mrs. Leng suddenly thought of her husband far away overseas. Glancing at the time, she picked up the phone and made an international call.
