Chapter 1251: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

~7 min read 1,328 words

Bai Yufei did not even think before saying, "Because Liu Xin'ai is not worthy of my brother!"

"But thinking she isn't worthy is useless; you can only stare helplessly from the sidelines and change nothing."

"Who says so? I..."

Bai Yufei opened her mouth, about to say something.

But she discovered that Jiang Baobao was staring at her without blinking.

There was even anticipation in her eyes.

This discovery made Bai Yufei calm down immediately, and she even changed her tune: "That's right, other than offering a few words of advice, I can't change anything."

Bai Yufei's performance made disappointment appear on Jiang Baobao's face.

She even let out a soft sigh.

Seeing this, Bai Yufei was certain that this woman was digging a pit for her!

And just now, she had almost fallen for it!

No, chatting with this woman for too long makes it easy to be tricked by her!

It is safer to stay away from her!

Thinking this, Bai Yufei prepared to leave first.

But a figure walked over in a rush.

Cai Xiaotang's face was full of joy.

But as soon as she saw Bai Yufei, her smile vanished immediately.

She even asked with a hint of disdain: "Why have you two gotten together? Are you arguing?"

Jiang Baobao smiled and explained: "No, we were just chatting."

"What is there to chat about with her!" After saying this, Cai Xiaotang couldn't wait to say to Jiang Baobao: "I have something important to tell you. You know that little sister who has always liked a boy? Latest news, the two of them are together!"

"Oh? But didn't that boy not like her? Is it that sincerity moved the other party?"

"Not at all, there's a secret method. She went to..."

Bai Yufei had been eavesdropping on the side.

Who knew that when it got to the crucial part, Cai Xiaotang suddenly looked at her with caution.

Then she took Jiang Baobao's arm and urged: "Let's go, let's talk over here."

The two of them went around behind an upright sign.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang say mysteriously: "My little sister went to Red Bean Mountain to make a wish!"

"Make a wish? Can that really work?"

"Super effective! Look at my little sister, isn't she an example? Before she went to make a wish, the boy was indifferent to her and even said he only saw her as a younger sister. Ever since she made the wish, his attitude toward her has done a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn!"

Jiang Baobao found it novel.

She even said: "Some things are truly hard to explain with science."

"Isn't that the truth? We don't have a use for it, but we could help Xu Xiaoxiao make a wish!"

"Xu Xiaoxiao doesn't even have anyone she likes, how can we help?"

"Hmm... then let's help her make a wish for her to have lots of romance!"

"Heavens, if Xu Xiaoxiao found out, she would definitely ask you if you have a grudge against her!"

The two women chatted and laughed out loud.

But after the laughter, both of them looked toward the side.

They saw a pair of high heels exposed in the gap of the sign.

The owner of the high heels was very worried about being caught eavesdropping, so seeing that the two were no longer talking, she left immediately.

And this discovery made Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang look at each other and smile.

In fact, they were intentionally saying it for Bai Yufei to hear.

They only hope...

That Bai Yufei won't let them down!

Bai Yufei had indeed heard their conversation and even scoffed at the content.

She thought, what kind of wish-making is that.

Isn't it just feudal superstition!

But when it came time to sleep at night, she tossed and turned in bed.

In her mind, she kept thinking about this matter.

Her previously disdainful attitude gradually wavered.

Bai Yufei began to struggle.

She was thinking, what if this wish-making actually works?

Then wouldn't she have missed an excellent opportunity?

No, regardless of whether it works or not, it won't do any harm anyway!

Thinking this, Bai Yufei suddenly sat up.

She even took out her phone and looked up the location of Red Bean Mountain.

The next day—

Before leaving, Bai Yufei sought out Qin Yiyan and said gently: "Brother, I would like to ask for leave today."

"Something up?"

"Nothing important, I just want to... clear my head."

After Bai Yufei finished speaking, a sense of unease flashed through her heart.

She was very worried that her brother would ask detailed questions.

And she didn't know if her little excuse would be enough to fool him.

But Bai Yufei was overthinking.

Qin Yiyan did not ask much, but instead comforted Bai Yufei: "Your schedule has been very full lately; you really need to rest. You must balance work and rest to go further."

"I know."

"Where do you want to go? I'll have the driver take you there in a while."

"Okay."

Bai Yufei acted obediently, and her smile was Tiantian.

But she did not know that their conversation had been overheard by Xiao'an.

Xiao'an walked away silently and secretly sent a message to Jiang Baobao.

This was a task Jiang Baobao had given Xiao'an the last time Xiao'an had dropped her off.

She wanted Xiao'an to tell her immediately if she heard any news about Bai Yufei.

Although Xiao'an did not know what the point of Jiang Baobao's arrangement was.

She trusted Jiang Baobao.

At this moment, she relayed the overheard words to Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao knew that Bai Yufei would take action.

Now that she had learned the exact time, she immediately arranged for people to go to Red Bean Mountain.

This mountain was very high.

It was also quite far from the city center.

By the time Bai Yufei climbed up, it was already more than two hours later.

She was panting from exhaustion.

Her brows were also tightly furrowed.

And along the way... she hadn't seen any place to make a wish!

Could it be that she had set the wrong location!?

Bai Yufei stopped and looked around.

Just then, an old woman walked over and asked very enthusiastically: "Young lady, what are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Red Bean Mountain?"

"It is."

"But why isn't there a place to make a wish here?"

The old woman smiled like a chrysanthemum and said: "Young lady, you have already arrived."

Arrived?

Bai Yufei looked around again.

Then, she stared at a towering ancient tree.

On the ancient tree, many wooden plaques with red ribbons were hanging.

Thinking of something, Bai Yufei pointed at the ancient tree and asked the old woman: "Could it be that one makes a wish right here?"

"That's right, walk a few hundred meters to the east, there is a small shop; buy a wish plaque and you can make a wish."

This result made Bai Yufei look disdainful.

She had thought the place for making wishes would be mysterious and high-class.

It turned out to be just this?

Bai Yufei was a bit disgusted.

But since she was already here and had climbed such a high mountain, she couldn't return empty-handed.

So, even though Bai Yufei looked down on it, she still dragged her weary feet to the small shop.

This shop was indeed very small.

There was only one table and a middle-aged man who was dozing off.

Bai Yufei knocked on the table impatiently and urged: "Stop sleeping, you have a customer."

The man did not move, nor did he open his eyes, only asking: "Buying a wish plaque?"

"Yes."

"The plaques are here, put the money here."

The man tapped with his finger, then turned his head and continued to sleep.

This kind of service attitude was truly terrible; Bai Yufei wanted to kick over his table!

But considering the words "efficacious"...

Bai Yufei endured it.
