Bai Xue, persuaded by her daughter, returned ho without making any trouble for the Liu Family. Naturally, she could only suppress her jealousy while glaring at Ye Ling with a resentful look, as if Ye Ling had stolen sothing from her. She tossed and turned all night, and the next day couldn’t hold back any longer and headed to the military unit, where she found her niece Bai Hehua.
Seeing her aunt arrive, Bai Hehua took leave to accompany her. Noticing her aunt seed hesitant to speak, she straightforwardly asked, "Aunt, if you have sothing to say, just say it. It’s clear you have sothing on your mind, and I’m not an outsider. Just say it directly. I’ve only got a short leave; I need to tidy up this afternoon and go on a business trip tomorrow."
Lately, Bai Hehua had been frustrated too. She didn’t know where Lin Tao heard about her situation at the company, as he had already visited her there three tis. His intentions were clear: he wanted them to get back together. Bai Hehua wasn’t stupid. When she first got pregnant, Lin Tao acted like he couldn’t wait to get rid of her, and now he was coming back and wanting reconciliation. Clearly, he was interested in her current position at the company; otherwise, he would never consider her.
Moreover, even without much contact with the Lin Family, based on that past incident, Bai Hehua felt that anyone from the city with decent conditions wouldn’t fancy the Lin Family. The Lin Family had high standards; they couldn’t find anyone good enough and wouldn’t settle for less. Now that they saw her in the military, they ca to her.
So, if she really got back with Lin Tao, she’d be a fool.
Lin Tao, on the other hand, threatened her with the abortion she had, and he set a deadline. This issue couldn’t be shared with outsiders. Bai Hehua was troubled, wondering how to make Lin Tao retreat without causing trouble, since any disturbance from Lin Tao would certainly affect her in the military.
Seeing her aunt again at this ti, Bai Hehua had little patience left.
Bai Xue hadn’t slept all night and ca over to find her niece still being so dismissive, which made her face darken imdiately. "What else could I be here for? Isn’t it all about your business? Otherwise, what would I co all the way to find you for? I saw a good opportunity and didn’t want you to miss it, yet you bla for being ddleso. Fine. If this is how it is, I won’t say another word. You go ahead with your work, and I’ll go ho."
Bai Hehua quickly held her back, "Aunt, don’t be angry. I was just saying. I’ve been dealing with a lot here in the military; it’s stressing out. I didn’t an you any harm, and still you find fault with ."
Bai Xue, feeling appeased, finally said, "You know Shen Bin, right? Last year during the New Year, I wanted to set you two up, but you weren’t interested. Silly girl, do you even know? Shen Bin is the son, the real son, of the Li Family."
Bai Hehua was taken aback for a mont, and then her expression turned serious, "Aunt, who did you hear this from?"
"Who else could it be? Shen Bin himself admitted it. He also admitted he’s seeing Ye Ling, and they’re planning to marry once Ye Ling graduates. That Ye Ling sure has found herself a catch; quietly securing a big one." When Bai Xue spoke of her daughter, it was as if she was talking about soone else. Seeing her niece remain calm made her a bit frustrated and lose interest. "Forget it; no point saying anything now. You have more work at the company, I’ll head back."
Bai Hehua’s expression was calm, but her mind was racing. She had no thought to say much more to her aunt. After seeing her off, she carried her thoughts as she walked back, only to hear soone calling her from behind. Turning around, she saw it was Lin Tao, which made her heart sink, knowing there was no avoiding him, so she stood still and waited.
As he got closer, she spoke first, "I can’t step outside this gate. Whatever you have to say, just say it."
"Did you talk to the company about what I said?" Lin Tao impatiently walked up to Bai Hehua. If his family’s condition hadn’t been so poor and he couldn’t find soone suitable, he wouldn’t have listened to his sister and co back to Bai Hehua.
Having seen her a couple of tis, she looked more spirited than before, but ultimately, having been used, Lin Tao wasn’t too concerned.
Bai Hehua gritted her teeth, "Lin Tao, you know it, we tried being together before, but didn’t fit well, and that incident was what made us separate. Now you suddenly co back wanting to reconcile; emotions aren’t like other things, so I think it’s better we forget about this."
"Bai Hehua, what you an is you’re refusing, right?" Lin Tao impatiently tossed his half-smoked cigarette on the ground, then revealed the truth, "If my dad weren’t seriously ill and wanting to see get married soon, do you think I’d turn back to you? It’s just that there’s not enough ti to find soone suitable, and thinking you’ve already been hurt for , I ca to you. Now, although you’re doing well in the company, don’t forget your body is flawed; who else would want you?"
Bai Hehua almost wanted to curse him out loud but knew Lin Tao was capable of anything, especially being at the entrance of the military, so she spoke softly, "Lin Tao, I never told you; before I joined the company, I was in an arranged courtship."
"I heard about that; didn’t it fall through later on?" Lin Tao, having found out about her being there, naturally also looked into her current situation.
Bai Hehua continued, "What you don’t know is, although we broke it off initially, we t again at the company and got back together. Moreover, he is the son of a leader. I didn’t want him to step in and talk to you, so I didn’t ntion it to him and wanted to discuss it calmly with you. I never thought you’d hold on like this."
"Really?" Lin Tao was skeptical.
Bai Hehua nodded, "Before he went to Beijing for further training, I was here. So, there weren’t many people who knew. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him. His na is Shen Bin, the head of the Developnt Departnt."
Having spoken the na and given such details, it was impossible for Lin Tao not to believe, even though he was still reluctant. "Bai Hehua, do you really think having found a leader’s son, I can’t do anything to you? You better not... "
"I’ve told him everything about us, which is also why we broke up initially. Later, he ca to terms with it, and we got back together," Bai Hehua feigned shyness. "He also revealed his true identity to ; not many people in the company know he’s a leader’s son."
When soone trusts another to this extent, it’s because they hold that person dear.
Lin Tao glared at Bai Hehua hatefully, "Then let’s see how far you and the leader’s son can go."
Having finally sent Lin Tao away, Bai Hehua let out a sigh of relief, but she couldn’t fully relax, especially after learning Shen Bin’s real identity. How could Bai Hehua not have thoughts about it? She was set to go on a business trip to see Shen Bin tomorrow, which seed like an opportunity. (To be continued.
