Third sister-in-law had tried her best to help Bai Jing the last time. Although Third Brother didn’t agree to work with Grand Prosperity Molds, he still helped them clinch a major deal.
Her brother Lei Yong wouldn’t force her again, would he?
Although Uncle Ming said that guys like Lei Yong had an insatiable appet.i.te for greed, at least for now, he should stop bothering Bai Jing.
Hopefully, Bai Jing could be firm and leave that family.
Su Yue heavily sighed and shut her eyes.
At the same time, the door opened.
It could only be Bai Jing since only both of them had the keys to their room. Su Yue glanced towards the door’s direction.
Bai Jing was wearing a dark red thick coat, and she carried a black handbag. The wind had messed up her long hair and her cheeks were rosy.
But she seemed fine.
She casually raised her head and met Su Yue’s eyes. It startled her for a moment.
She hastened her footsteps towards Su Yue. “Su Yue, are you okay?”
Bai Jing sat on Su Yue’s bed and gazed at her. “Why are your eyes swollen? You cried?”
She was quite certain.
Su Yue’s red and swollen eyes were like light bulbs, and she must have cried for a long time.
Su Yue pouted and fell silent.
Bai Jing frowned. “Why did you cry? You looked as though you cried the entire night?”
She intently eyed Su Yue as she probed.
Su Yue replied, “I’m feeling upset, so I cried.”
She wasn’t just upset. She was unhappy, heartbroken and utterly dejected.
Bai Jing asked, “Why are you upset? Tell me about it.”
“I’m fine now.” Su Yue didn’t feel like talking about how Ming Zhongsheng came to look for her yesterday. She steered the topic and asked, “Did you go back home yesterday?”
Bai Jing sensed that Su Yue was reluctant to tell her, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes. She maintained a stoic expression and said, “Yeah. I had a family gathering so I went back in the afternoon.”
When she finished talking, she continued staring at Su Yue.
The only person who could Su Yue make cry so badly had to be Ming Ansheng.
The last time she cried so badly was because Ming Ansheng lectured her in public.
Bai Jing thought for a moment before asking, “Exams have ended, so why didn’t you go back? Uncle Ming didn’t make plans with you?”
She closely surveyed Su Yue’s face, and just like her tone, she was trying to probe further.
Su Yue smiled and replied, “What plans would we have? We stayed in Country M for a week, and we had enough fun.”
She didn’t tell Bai Jing about Ming Ansheng, but it was not because she didn’t believe her.
She merely felt that it was hard to open up regarding such issues.
She was being hard on herself and she knew that she was being unreasonable. Even if she told Bai Jing, what could she possibly do to help her?
No matter how another person consoled her, she needed to make sure she was ready to accept and get over it herself.
She wasn’t in the picture years ago, so she shouldn’t be harping on the past.
She understood but she just couldn’t accept it.
Bai Jing curled her lips with an enigmatic smile. “Yeah, you’re indeed blessed to have so many people around you.”
There was a subtle trace of jealousy and sarcasm in her tone.
Bai Jing glanced at Su Yue and said, “Especially your beloved Uncle Ming who was with you.”
Su Yue put on a helpless and bitter smile.
