Chapter 1166: Why Do You All Like Liu Xin'ai More

~7 min read 1,360 words

Bai Yufei could not understand it!

As a mother, how could Chi Rong tolerate...

A daughter-in-law and a son clamoring for a divorce!?

Under Bai Yufei's shocked and bewildered gaze, Chi Rong said in a flat tone, "I know you feel bad for your brother, but Yiyan is grown up now; he has his own judgment, and you should trust him."

At this moment, Bai Yufei and Chi Rong were completely on two different tracks.

The conversation was also completely at cross-purposes.

Yet neither of them noticed.

One spoke with a clear conscience, while the other listened in a towering rage.

Bai Yufei was naturally the angry one.

She had previously thought about using her mother's voice to put pressure on Qin Yiyan.

To make him divorce Liu Xin'ai as soon as possible!

As a result...

Bai Yufei was disappointed once again!

She was not only disappointed, but she also gripped her palms tightly, muttering with resentment and unwillingness: "When it comes down to it, it's still because you all like Liu Xin'ai more!"

Chi Rong did quite like Liu Xin'ai.

She felt that the child was sensible and knew how to conduct herself.

But...

Why was Fei'er so angry?

Chi Rong was puzzled and even wanted to hold Bai Yufei's hand.

But Bai Yufei shook her off immediately!

She widened her eyes and questioned, "Why do you all like Liu Xin'ai? How is she worthy!?"

Chi Rong was a little frightened.

In her impression, her daughter had always been well-behaved and sensible.

Like a flower that understands one's heart.

But the Bai Yufei before her... how did she become like this?

Chi Rong furrowed her brows and asked softly, "Fei'er, why are you... so agitated?"

How could Bai Yufei not be agitated!

Her eyes were red.

The look she gave Chi Rong was filled with resentment: "I thought you would be on my side!"

"Mother is, of course, on your side!"

"Since that's the case, you should be with me, making..."

"Brother and Liu Xin'ai divorce!"

Hearing this, Chi Rong immediately scolded in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I am not talking nonsense; I am truly doing this for Brother's own good!"

After Bai Yufei finished speaking, she turned her head away defiantly.

And with this turn of her head...

She actually saw a familiar figure!

"Liu Xin'ai!?"

Hearing Bai Yufei's voice, Chi Rong looked over in the direction of her gaze.

Sure enough, she saw Liu Xin'ai.

Opposite her was also a man.

The man was in a crisp suit with a serious expression, looking every bit the elite.

Upon first seeing the man, Bai Yufei felt he was somewhat familiar.

After recalling carefully...

She remembered she had seen the man's photo; he was that lawyer!!

This discovery made Bai Yufei feel excited!

She even turned her head to ask Chi Rong, "I heard that Sister-in-law has been busy with the Special Effect Medicine lately, but how does she have the time to see a man now?"

"They must be colleagues."

"Whether they are or not, let's go over and confirm!"

"Ah? That would be too rude..."

"We are just going over to say hello, how is that rude? It would seem cold to have bumped into each other and acted as if we hadn't seen one another."

This...

Chi Rong still felt it was inappropriate.

Moreover, Liu Xin'ai and that man had already walked into the coffee shop.

Going over to say hello at this time would be too deliberate.

Thinking this, Chi Rong was about to refuse Bai Yufei.

But Bai Yufei pulled on Chi Rong's arm without letting her speak, and the two of them entered the coffee shop together!

Sigh, this child!

Chi Rong felt helpless inside.

And inside the coffee shop, Liu Xin'ai had just spread some documents out on the table.

She was just preparing to look, but her peripheral vision caught a figure rushing over, and with a wave of a hand, the documents on the table were swept off!

"Ah, sister-in-law, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to!"

Bai Yufei spoke

with annoyance.

But her movements were fast!

She bent down and picked up the scattered documents!

Then she said in an exaggerated voice: "Oh my, isn't this..."

Bai Yufei suddenly lost her voice.

She just widened her eyes, staring at the documents without blinking.

She looked at one page, then another, but neither had the things she wanted!

Instead, Liu Xin'ai calmly pulled away the documents she had crumpled and asked: "Is Fei'er also interested in pharmacology?"

As it turned out, the documents Bai Yufei had snatched away had nothing to do with the divorce.

They were... some pharmaceutical patent applications!

Bai Yufei froze.

Immediately, she felt something was wrong!

This lawyer before her was clearly a divorce lawyer; why would he need these documents?

Could it be... a smokescreen by these two people!?

Thinking of this, Bai Yufei's expression became uncertain.

Chi Rong was already somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Yufei's performance.

She felt that she was not only rude but also lacked composure!

Once they left, she would have a good talk with Bai Yufei!

Withdrawing her gaze, Chi Rong looked at Liu Xin'ai apologetically and said: "I saw you outside just now and wanted to come in to say a few words to you, but it looks like I've disturbed you."

Although Chi Rong complained about Bai Yufei in her heart.

She was, after all, Bai Yufei's mother, so she opened her mouth and thought of an excuse to absolve Bai Yufei.

Liu Xin'ai naturally knew that Chi Rong would not do such an abrupt thing.

However, she did not intend to pursue it, only saying: "Please don't say that, there is no disturbance."

"It's good that there's no disturbance, then you go ahead and get busy, doing proper work is what's important. As for you, you must also take good care of your health; every time Mother sees you, I feel you have become thinner than before."

Chi Rong looked Liu Xin'ai up and down, her eyes full of heartache.

That heart-

ache was not feigned.

It was sincere and genuine.

Liu Xin'ai could feel it, smiled faintly, and responded: "I know."

"Then you two get busy." Saying this, Chi Rong dragged away the resentful and unwilling Bai Yufei.

Preparing to have a talk with her once they got outside!

The lawyer then unhurriedly placed all the documents into a folder.

After the two left, he said to Liu Xin'ai: "Miss Liu, please rest assured, I will hand these documents over to my colleague."

"Thank you for the trouble."

"You are welcome, so now, please sign this document."

As the lawyer spoke, he took out a power of attorney.

Today's meeting between the two was indeed to discuss matters related to the divorce case.

As for the patent rights, that was just incidental.

It was also fortunate that Bai Yufei appeared at such a coincidental time.

Otherwise, Liu Xin'ai's secret...

would likely have been exposed in front of the elder!

Liu Xin'ai felt secretly relieved.

But facing the document that would determine her future, Liu Xin'ai's fingers could not help but tremble.

She gripped the pen tightly before she could smoothly write her name.

After writing the final stroke, Liu Xin'ai let out a long breath.

Then she said to the lawyer with a solemn face: "From here on, I will leave it to you!"

"Don't mention it, this is what I should do."

Liu Xin'ai smiled,

carrying a trace of relief.

Someone saw this scene, and a flash of suspicion could not help but cross her beautiful eyes.

In fact, from the moment Bai Yufei aggressively sought out Liu Xin'ai, Jiang Baobao had already noticed.

She really wanted to eat the cheesecake from this cafe today.

It just so happened that Li Beijue was free, so the two of them drove over to enjoy the delicious food.

Yet unexpectedly, they saw the scene just now...

Li Beijue saw Jiang Baobao staring secretly at Liu Xin'ai the whole time, and not intending

to go over and say hello, he asked: "Why not go over?"
