Chapter 1250: Stop Deceiving Yourself

~7 min read 1,314 words

Although no one said it to Bai Yufei's face.

She still heard some rumors, more or less.

This made Bai Yufei furious!

She was not willing to keep carrying this reputation!

Therefore, turning the situation around was imperative.

And the first action Bai Yufei took was to attend high-society events.

Now she had learned her lesson; before attending events, she would actively prepare.

With preparation, her performance was actually quite commendable.

It also salvaged her reputation a little bit.

This day, Bai Yufei attended another new product launch for a tech product.

To project a capable image, she had even dressed up specifically.

But not long after arriving at the venue, she actually... saw Jiang Baobao!

This caused Bai Yufei's smile to freeze on her lips instantly.

Jiang Baobao also spotted Bai Yufei.

She walked over with a smile and greeted her: "Miss Bai, what a coincidence."

To this, Bai Yufei responded with a forced smile: "Yes, it is."

"Are you interested in these things too?"

"It's alright."

Bai Yufei really did not want to keep chatting with Jiang Baobao.

Noticing a familiar lady walking by, she called out to her, intending to chat with her while walking.

But she did not expect that the lady, upon seeing Jiang Baobao, would cast Bai Yufei's greeting to the back of her mind.

Instead, she turned to Jiang Baobao and said with familiar warmth: "I didn't expect to run into Mrs. Li here!"

"Hello."

"Looking at your belly, you must be due in less than two months, right?"

"Yes."

"Oh my, Mrs. Li is truly blessed!"

"Thank you."

The two of them here were chatting in a very harmonious atmosphere.

But Bai Yufei...

Was left hanging there!

Bai Yufei told herself not to get angry.

But she simply could not control herself!

She felt that Jiang Baobao was an eyesore!

You have to ask, a pregnant woman

, why is she running around everywhere!?

She isn't even afraid of bumping the child!

Bai Yufei's reason was rapidly diminishing.

Finally, unable to endure it any longer, she opened her mouth and said: "This event today might not be very suitable for Mrs. Li!"

Such a sentence made both women opposite look at Bai Yufei.

Then, under their ambiguous gazes, Bai Yufei said unhurriedly: "Today's event will be quite boring for Mrs. Li, because it's all new tech products, which Mrs. Li wouldn't understand."

Huh?

This...

The lady standing beside Jiang Baobao wanted to explain.

But Bai Yufei did not even give her the chance.

She opened her mouth and said with certainty: "Mrs. Li shouldn't push herself; they say pregnancy makes you silly for three years, you probably can't even remember the names of these new products, so Mrs. Li shouldn't make things difficult for yourself."

Bai Yufei seemed to be thinking of Jiang Baobao.

But every word she said was belittling Jiang Baobao.

The lady chatting with Jiang Baobao also saw a thing or two.

This made the expression on her face somewhat complicated.

After hesitating for a moment, she reminded her: "Mrs. Li is one of the investors for today's products."

In, investor!?

A simple sentence made Bai Yufei's expression freeze on her face.

She stared at Jiang Baobao in astonishment again.

But the next second, Bai Yufei found her confidence again and said righteously: "I presume Mrs. Li is investing on behalf of the Li Family; the Li Family is truly wealthy and imposing, throwing money around just to let Mrs. Li play."

"That's not it, Mrs. Li is investing in her own name. Um... you might not know much about it, Mrs. Li is not an ordinary socialite; she has her own career and investments, and she does them very well."

The other party's explanation directly made

Bai Yufei purse her lips tightly.

And Jiang Baobao sighed and said: "Actually, Miss Bai is right; it really is true that pregnancy makes you silly for three years. I've felt my energy lacking recently, so I can only pick projects I'm interested in, and my returns have decreased quite a bit."

"Even if they decreased, it's still something we can only look up to."

"Not at all, this industry is flourishing, and everyone has the potential to take flight."

The two of them began chatting again.

But this time, Bai Yufei was no longer eager to jump into the conversation.

Instead, she clenched her fists tightly, her face full of resentment!

In the end, she turned her head and prepared to leave!

Jiang Baobao's peripheral vision swept toward Bai Yufei from time to time.

Discovering that this woman was about to leave, Jiang Baobao said, "Miss Bai, let's have a private chat."

The lady beside Jiang Baobao heard this and, being very tactful, left first.

As soon as she left, Bai Yufei asked crossly, "What is it? Haven't you finished showing off yet!"

Jiang Baobao had things to say, so she did not hold Bai Yufei's terrible tone against her.

Smiling faintly, Jiang Baobao asked, "How is the relationship between Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan these past two days?"

"I don't know!"

"Aren't you living together? How could you not know?"

"We do indeed live in the same house, but I am not her servant, needing to pay attention to her every mood at all times!"

Bai Yufei's attitude was truly terrible.

If Jiang Baobao didn't have a plan in mind, she would definitely have retorted until the sky turned dark!

But it was precisely because of this plan...

Jiang Baobao spoke with feigned melancholy: "Xin'ai is just too stubborn. With a husband as good as Qin Yiyan, she should really live a good life with him."

Bai Yufei also felt that Liu Xin'ai did not know what was good for her.

But she was hoping that the woman would not know what was good for her.

That way, Qin

Yiyan would dislike Liu Xin'ai, and she herself would have an opportunity to exploit!

Bai Yufei's eyes were dark.

The depths of her eyes were full of calculation.

But Jiang Baobao here changed the subject: "Fortunately, the two of them have a child. Once the child is born, their relationship will stabilize."

Jiang Baobao's tone was gleeful.

It was as if she were happy that her friend had finally seen the clouds part to reveal the moon.

But Bai Yufei could not bear to hear this, and she retorted immediately, "Impossible!"

"Oh, why does Miss Bai say that?"

"Because there is no love between them! They even dislike each other!"

Jiang Baobao tilted her head and asked in return, "Are you sure Qin Yiyan dislikes Xin'ai? Then why haven't they divorced?"

"Naturally, it's for the sake of the child!"

Jiang Baobao did not accept this explanation.

Shaking her head, she denied it: "If Qin Yiyan disliked someone, he certainly wouldn't let them carry his child. Even if they got pregnant by accident, he would make her abort it and then never have anything to do with her again. But Qin Yiyan... how does he treat Xin'ai?"

Bai Yufei knew the answer.

Qin Yiyan's treatment of Liu Xin'ai... was naturally good.

Even when they fought bitterly, he always chose to forgive in the end!

What this meant... Bai Yufei knew very clearly.

It was just that she was unwilling to admit it!

Jiang Baobao had been observing the changes in Bai Yufei's expression.

Naturally, she knew she was struggling.

But she would not give Bai Yufei a chance to escape, so she smiled and said, "Don't deceive yourself. Qin Yiyan has feelings for Xin'ai, which is why the two of them have been bickering until now without splitting up."

This conclusion...

Made Bai Yufei clench her hands tightly, and her expression became ferocious!

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows and asked a question she already knew the answer to: "Why does Miss Bai look so unconvinced?"
