"Well said. Then let me ask you. Do you think Fan Fan will marry you now that you don't have this child?"
Bai Lu opened her mouth but found that she couldn't refute.
Ye Lian snorted. "Bai Lu, you know very well that the problem lies with the child in your belly. Why are you so protective of it? Do you dare to say that you don't have any selfish motives? Ha, don't be ridiculous. If you really didn't have any improper thoughts, you wouldn't have followed Fan Fan to meet his parents today. How about it? Do you feel terrible after being insulted? But I think you only have yourself to blame. You overestimated yourself. Who can you blame? "
Bai Lu felt terrible. In fact, that wasn't the case. But now, she had confirmed this "accusation." Even refuting it seemed so trivial.
Ye Lian was aggressive. "Do you know how many people in the Liang Clan are waiting for Fan Fan to fall? Do you know how difficult it was for Fan Fan to get to where he is today? Do you think that just because he's the only son of Family Liang, he can rightfully take over the entire Liang Clan? Do you know that all his uncles and uncles are waiting day and night to push him out of the way? " And you are his only weakness right now! Do you think my marriage with Fan Fan is love? Yes, I love him, so I'm willing to give up everything in our Family Ye to help him. But what about you? What can you give him? You can't give him anything, but you're dragging him down. "
Bai Lu felt that she shouldn't listen to her anymore, but it was as if there were nails under her feet. She couldn't move away.
Her whole body was like a wooden stake, standing there motionless.
Ye Lian finally said, "I hope you think about it carefully. You've worked in EC for so many years. You should know how much cooperation there is between the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan, and how much profit there is every year. If you really don't know what's good for you and interfere, how much damage will you do to Fan Fan?"
When they left the club, Bai Lu realized that the sky seemed to have darkened.
In this season, City A had already entered the early winter, but the weather was exceptionally cold. She tightened her coat and walked on the road in a daze. Her mind was filled with what Ye Lian had just said.
When her phone rang, she thought it was an auditory hallucination. It took her a while to realize that it was her phone ringing.
She fumbled for her phone in her pocket and was stunned when she saw the caller ID.
“Buck？”
"What day is it today?"
Bai Lu blinked and finally reacted. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "… Thursday."
"Why didn't you come here yesterday?"
She had to look for him every Wednesday. Bai Lu had been so busy these days that she had completely forgotten about it. She did not expect Buck to call her personally. She thought about it and chose to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Buck. I … I've been busy these days …"
"If you're not interested in learning design from me, then you should make it clear to me as soon as possible. I don't care how serious your problem is. I'll only give you one day a week. If you don't even want one day, then don't learn from me …"
"No, Buck. It's my fault. I promise there won't be a next time. I really want to learn from you." Bai Lu clutched her phone and looked vexed. "I'm really sorry. Why don't I come to you tomorrow —"
"No need. I have to leave City A for a while," Buck said straightforwardly. "I'll send you my email. When you go back tonight, send me your design drawings. I'll give you my opinion after I've read them. You don't have to go to the villa during this time."
Bai Lu heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Buck. I'll send them to you later."
She thought that he would hang up, but unexpectedly, Buck suddenly changed his tone in less than a second. "I heard that you're pregnant?"
He was Liang Feifan's good friend. It wasn't strange for him to know about her pregnancy.
Bai Lu answered him with silence. Buck didn't mind. Instead, he laughed in a relaxed manner. His tone wasn't as harsh as before. Instead, it was clear that he was gloating. "I didn't expect Fan to act so quickly. As your mentor, I'll give you my late blessings. Congratulations. But remember to inform me in advance when you're holding a wedding banquet. I'll prepare a big gift for you. "
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. "Buck, you … you're really congratulating me?"
"Huh? Is there a problem? "
"Nothing. I just find it a little unbelievable."
Buck seemed to laugh again. "Are you worried that the distance between you and him is too far?" It seemed to be the first time that he wasn't talking to her about design. Instead, he seemed to be comforting her turbulent emotions. "There are many times when what others say and what you see might not be the truth. If you can't trust yourself completely, you have to trust your man more. "
"Alright, I have a flight later. I'll hang up first."
Before Bai Lu could fully comprehend the meaning behind Buck's words, he had already hung up.
She stood by the roadside with her phone in her hand. She seemed to be in a trance.
It turned out that not everyone looked down on her. It turned out that … there were still people who sincerely wished her well …
She didn't know if this was considered a form of comfort, but it did make her feel a lot better. She put her phone away and turned to cross the road. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly rushed up from behind and the two of them collided. Bai Lu took two steps back and finally steadied herself. The man who had collided with her approached her fiercely.
"Hey, don't you have eyes when you're walking? You bumped into me! "
Bai Lu frowned. She was in a bad mood today. Did he really want to bully her for everything?
She supported herself with one hand against the wall and retorted coldly, "I think you're the one who barged into me. You bumped into me too."
"Oh, not bad. You even know how to talk back?" The man didn't look like a good person at first glance. He had a croaky voice, but he was quite big. His neck was slightly exposed, and she could faintly see a hideous tattoo.
Bai Lu thought that since the sky was dark, people like him were probably just looking for trouble. After all, she was a weak woman and couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She turned to leave.
However, the man wouldn't let her go even if she wanted to leave!
Just as she turned around, the man grabbed Bai Lu's wrist forcefully. She struggled instinctively. "What are you doing? Let go of me! "
"Hehe, let go of you? Don't you need to compensate me for bumping into me? You want to leave just like that? You're dreaming. "
The man didn't look like he had good intentions. Bai Lu looked at him warily. "What do you want? Let go! If you keep doing this, I'm going to scream for help! "
"Go ahead and scream." The man looked at her lecherously. His originally ferocious face had completely changed. He kept staring at Bai Lu's chest. His gaze was wretched no matter how one looked at it. "I like it when women scream. Scream all you want. I want to see who can save you …"
"Am I considered a human?"
Before the man finished speaking, Bai Lu felt the grip on her wrist suddenly loosen. A low male voice interrupted, followed by the man's wailing and howling —
"Ah — Let go, let go … F * ck, who the f * ck is this blind person? I dare to … "
Slap! A slap.
Before the man could finish his words, he was slapped in the face.
"I hate bastards who casually bully women on the road like this." Chu Weiye's slightly evil gaze remained on Bai Lu's face, who was still in shock. He raised his eyebrows and laughed frivolously. "Especially when you're such a cute and beautiful woman. How dare you casually use your dirty hands to bully her? Have you asked for my permission?"
This man's words sounded a little frivolous, but that kind of cold aura made people tremble.
That man was just a hooligan who didn't do his job properly. He only bullied the weak and feared the strong. When he turned around, he saw Chu Weiye's well-dressed appearance. His face was handsome, but there was a hint of sharpness between his eyebrows.
The man suddenly quivered and struggled out of his palm. He took two steps back and shouted unwillingly, "You … You, you wait for me, wait for me —!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Bai Lu pressed her wrist with one hand and looked at Chu Weiye, who was standing in front of her. She looked at him expressionlessly. "I won't thank you for what you did just now."
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows. "Hmm, I did it willingly."
Bai Lu had always been brooding over the fact that he had stolen her design. Naturally, she wouldn't treat him nicely, even if he had indeed helped her just now.
Bai Lu didn't intend to say anything more to him. She turned around and prepared to leave.
Chu Weiye looked at her long ponytail that was floating in the air. As she turned around, her thin lips curved slightly. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and followed after her.
Bai Lu didn't expect him to follow her. She suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Mr. Chu, what are you trying to do?"
She was in a bad mood, so her tone was naturally harsh.
Chu Weiye shrugged disapprovingly. "What can I do? You won't allow me to walk on this road? "
"You …"
Bai Lu knew that he was deliberately looking for trouble. She wanted to refute but was shocked that she had nothing to say. She gritted her teeth, turned around and strode forward.
However, the man behind her was still following her. Bai Lu had always wanted to ignore his existence, but she didn't expect him to come up and talk to her.
"I haven't walked like this in a long time. Aren't you going to talk to me?"
Bai Lu sneered. Her dark eyes were full of resistance and rejection towards him. "Mr. Chu, you're right. I don't have the right to stop you on this road, but please don't follow me. Also, don't talk to me!"
"You hate me that much?"
"Yes."
"Ha, I'll be very sad if you act like this."
