"When I first t Lu Mingxue, his excuse was love at first sight," Bai Huii shook her head gently. "But I didn’t believe it and still went with him because that was my best option at the ti."
Xu Chang said, "I know about this, and I understand you."
Precisely because she knew it was Bai Huii’s best choice, she didn’t interfere.
If any well-off girl got entangled with Lu Mingxue, she would always give a word of warning.
"Does Ms. Xu know why he chose ?" Bai Huii wasn’t too concerned about this matter. She could accept any reason, even suspecting that he wanted to find a mother for his two children. That reason was quite normal, so she always did her best in that aspect. After all, all she sought was a safe haven where she and her daughter could live peacefully.
Lu Mingxue’s claim of love at first sight was sothing she never believed, no matter how well he’d treated her over the years.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that he plotted against Chenchen, crossing her bottom line, she wouldn’t have thought of letting go.
This ti Xu Chang shook her head as well: "I don’t know either. His approaching you was very coincidental, maybe just a sudden impulsive thought. Do you care about this?"
"Not really, just curious, wanted to know a bit." Bai Huii said, ’Everyone has their curiosity, and so do I.’
Not knowing is fine; there’s no possibility between her and Lu Mingxue anymore.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Ah Chen opened the door, and outside stood the three fathers and sons of the Lu Family. Not surprised, she didn’t chase them away but let them in.
"Mom, the Lu Family is here."
The three fathers and sons had unpleasant expressions when they heard Ah Chen’s words, especially Lu Wangqiu, who couldn’t help but glare at Ah Chen. He originally didn’t want to co, but his father insisted.
Thinking of Bai Ying still inside the body, a solution was needed for this matter. The Bai Family had been caught up in so unknown trouble, and the only one who could resolve this issue now was Bai Chen.
She better help solve it, otherwise, don’t think about going back to the Lu Family.
He said that both mother and daughter were just playing hard to get, but neither his father nor elder brother believed it, and even told him not to speak recklessly.
Just wait and see, they had all co here today to ask them to return, and they would definitely agree.
Acting as if they were leaving everything behind, wasn’t it just to leave a way out?
His father and elder brother actually indulged them; he didn’t know what they were thinking. The Lu Family was much more peaceful without them, didn’t they realize how good it was?
When the three fathers and sons arrived in the living room, they found an unfamiliar woman besides Bai Huii.
Lu Mingxue paused as he saw Xu Chang, sowhat incredulous.
Lu Wangqiu had seen Bai Suqiu and was surprised for a mont to see Xu Chang’s sowhat similar face. However, their temperants were entirely different. Bai Suqiu exuded wealth and gentleness, and her smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze. Even in middle age, her every gesture had a girlish charm.
The middle-aged woman before them had an aloof gaze, exuding an aura of unapproachability, as if rejecting everything, making people reluctant to get close.
"Mr. Lu, long ti no see," Xu Chang greeted with a smile. "I’ve heard about the situation in your family. I didn’t expect Mr. Lu to make the sa mistake twice."
Having confird that Bai Huii had no intentions toward Lu Mingxue, she didn’t hold back in her sarcasm.
It was high ti to vent this pent-up anger.
"Xu Chang, if there’s anything, let’s discuss it another day," Lu Mingxue said. The pressing issue now was to bring Bai Huii back.
Xu Chang sneered but didn’t speak further. She wanted to see how Lu Mingxue planned to coax her back, thinking it was overly optimistic. Did he really think everything would go as he wished?
"Huii, co back with . I promise this won’t happen again, and I’ll treat you and your daughter well in the future," Lu Mingxue said.
Bai Huii calmly shook her head, "No, I will never get over this."
"I won’t forgive your actions, and we don’t care about your kindness either."
"And besides, when you married , it wasn’t because of any love at first sight. I guess it had sothing to do with that woman nad Bai Suqiu?" Bai Huii asked, knowing that she and Bai Suqiu looked nothing alike, but intuition told her it was related to Bai Suqiu.
Once Lu Mingxue heard this, he realized Xu Chang had revealed everything.
"Huii, the incident back then was indeed a heavy blow to . eting you was accidental, and marrying you was just an impulsive decision. When I heard soone call you Bai Huii, it was that ’Bai’ surna that stirred . But over the years, I’ve genuinely developed feelings for you, knowing you as Bai Huii, never as a stand-in for anyone. It was your presence that helped move on."
Bai Huii understood, but didn’t get angry.
At that ti, she was concerned with practical matters. Even if the other party saw her as a stand-in, it didn’t bother her, because she indeed needed protection back then.
"Let’s get divorced. You should understand that between your son and , you’ll choose your son. Between you and my daughter, I’ll choose my daughter. Mingxue, face reality; we can’t be together anymore."
If Bai Huii had thrown a fit, Lu Mingxue might have felt there was hope.
But her calm deanor left him at a loss.
She spoke the truth; they were not each other’s most important person.
"What you did to Chenchen, I’ll rember forever, even if it didn’t succeed," Bai Huii said. "Don’t attempt to maintain a superficial peace anymore."
"Alright," Lu Mingxue didn’t persuade further, "Let’s redraft the divorce agreent. There are things you deserve."
"No," Bai Huii refused, her gaze falling on Lu Fengqiu and Lu Wangqiu, "I don’t want any ties with you anymore. So say my daughter and I bled the Lu Family dry, took so much from you, and you supported us. That kind of talk, Chenchen has endured for over twenty years, and she doesn’t care about it anymore. So, we don’t want it."
"Your disregard left resentful, but what could I have done back then?" Bai Huii said, tears of sorrow streaming down her face. "What could I do?"
She felt like an incapable mother, unable to demand any fairness for her daughter.
Lu Mingxue felt internal regret.
Lu Fengqiu also regretted it, questioning why they had wronged them when they hadn’t done anything wrong. He loathed his past self.
He gazed at Xu Chang standing aside, her cold and indifferent deanor matching the voice from the phone years ago.
"But now it’s different. I’m trying to move forward, to create a life for Chenchen," Bai Huii wiped her tears and smiled, "From today on, I hope the Lu Family won’t speak a word against Chenchen. Even if she loves vanity and luxury, she never took anything from you freely."
"Especially you, Lu Wangqiu," Bai Huii’s gaze grew cold, startling Lu Wangqiu.
He wanted to speak, but was held back by Lu Fengqiu.
"Since you’re here, let’s divorce."
Lu Mingxue sighed, "Alright."
"But Huii, Bai Ying is still in the second son’s body. Could you persuade Chenchen to let Bai Ying out?"
As for what would happen to Bai Ying, that wasn’t his concern anymore.
Because of the Bai Family, this family had been torn apart twice. Compared to the first ti, this made Lu Mingxue even more resentful.
"No, I won’t persuade Chenchen on this," Bai Huii refused without hesitation, "Didn’t you bring this upon yourselves? You can talk to Chenchen directly; let her decide what to do."
"If you’re using this to threaten not to divorce, it’s useless. I’m not afraid of that."
Of course, Lu Mingxue didn’t dare do that, having always been cautious of Bai Chen. If he dared say such a thing, and she used so ans, he feared he couldn’t bear it.
"Chenchen, I was wrong in that matter. I wonder if you could consider our years together and handle the issue with the second son."
Lu Wangqiu watched Lu Mingxue’s low and humble posture, feeling dissatisfied, but didn’t dare to say anything.
Ah Chen glanced at him, "Okay. The price is three hundred million. Surely when you ask a specialist to solve a problem, you pay them, right? Nothing cos for free. If you’re unwilling, you can consult another specialist or wait until Bai Ying can leave soday. You all know she’ll be able to leave in ti, don’t you?"
Lu Wangqiu couldn’t help but exclaim, "You’re demanding an exorbitant price!"
"Then don’t beg ," Ah Chen warned, "You better behave, or I’ll make sure you share one body forever."
But she was still more interested in seeing Bai Ying transform into a human.
