Aunt Chen’s words made Shi i reluctantly give in.
But the discomfort in Bai Yuejie’s heart did not dissipate because of this; instead, Aunt Chen’s words felt like salt being poured on her tender, bloody wound.
Seeing the obvious foolishness on Shi i’s face eased the resentnt and anger deep within her heart a bit.
Her face showed her usual tender expression as Bai Yuejie patted Shi i’s hand and softly said, "It’s been such a long ti since I’ve seen you, Shi i. How about I take you out for a big al today?"
"Yes, yes!" Shi i’s eyes curved in a smile. "Then wait for a mont, I’m going to put on makeup!"
Bai Yuejie looked surprised. "You can do makeup?"
Hearing this, Aunt Chen seed quite proud, "Yes, recently our young lady has been learning to do makeup from Miss Ye Tiao. I must say, Miss Ye’s skills are truly exceptional."
"Ye Tiao?"
"That’s right, I heard she’s childhood friends with Miss Tang. You should know her too."
Bai Yuejie’s heart sank slightly.
It was more than just knowing her.
She was all too familiar.
Ye Tiao despised her and had even instigated Tang Wu to cut ties with her.
But Tang Wu was always proud and her upbringing from childhood had taught her to be empathetic.
Bai Yuejie was clear that Tang Wu’s interaction with her was not one of equals, but rather out of sympathy and pity.
Tang Wu had placed her in the position of a weaker party.
Thus, Tang Wu’s ’help’ continued.
And it was also thanks to Tang Wu’s ’help’ that she was still alive.
But how did Ye Tiao end up being Shi i’s teacher in good faith?
Bai Yuejie really couldn’t figure out what connection they might have.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Aunt Chen quickly brought up Tang Jingming and briefly explained.
Then, Bai Yuejie suddenly understood.
After sitting for a while, Shi i quickly ca out ’done with her makeup’.
When she appeared, Bai Yuejie was taken aback by her stunning appearance.
Shi i was naturally beautiful, and now with light makeup, her whole aura was elevated.
What was most important was that Shi i had her hair tied in twin ponytails.
Already having a round face, she now looked even more adorable, appearing not like her usual eighteen or nineteen-year-old high school student self but rather like a middle schooler, a minor.
Carrying a cute little rabbit bag, Shi i cheerily ran out and waved at Aunt Chen, "Goodbye Aunt Chen, I’m off to have fun!"
Aunt Chen smiled warmly and waved, seeing them out the door.
Sitting in a car, Shi i blissfully rummaged through her bag and pulled out a big White Rabbit candy, "Sister Bai, have so candy!"
Bai Yuejie took it with a smile, "Shi i, do you still rember Tang Wu who I told you about?"
Shi i was intently peeling the candy wrapper when she heard this, and suddenly understood the purpose of her visitor today.
Her eyes shifted slightly and, stuffing the candy into her mouth, she mumbled unclearly, "Who’s Tang Wu?"
"Why, she’s Ling Yan’s wife."
Hearing this, Shi i’s chewing stopped abruptly.
Her round face hardened and she spat directly at Bai Yuejie.
The half-dissolved White Rabbit candy, with saliva clinging to it, landed on Bai Yuejie’s clean, neat clothes.
The gentle smile on Bai Yuejie’s face disappeared instantly, her face darkening as if it could drip water.
As if she hadn’t seen Bai Yuejie’s darkened expression, Shi i shouted loudly, "I am the only wife to my husband!"
