Chapter 96: The Problem Is With Me

Du Lian Shuang reacted quickly. She reached out and tugged on Yin Bai Lu’s sleeve, secretly pointing first at Zou Heng and then at the uninvited guest.

In a flash, understanding dawned on Yin Bai Lu. When she looked at the two of them again, her eyes were full of surprise.

Looking closely, this girl seemed pretty familiar. She looked like a female employee from Zou Heng’s department, someone they had hired when the company did a big round of recruiting a couple of years ago.

Yin Bai Lu was not very interested in the details of Liao Yu Qian’s company. From what she remembered, she had run into this girl once or twice when she took Liao Jing Yi to pick up Liao Yu Qian from work. Each time, the girl was practically glued to Zou Heng’s side like a little tail. She had not expected…

She subconsciously glanced at Zou Heng. Seeing that although he was surprised by the girl bursting in like this, he was not angry at all and was looking at her very gently, Yin Bai Lu felt even more sure.

Thinking again of how anxious the girl had been when she opened the door just now, and remembering the little girl Du An Rao had just mentioned, she suddenly felt that this might really work out.

She cleared her throat right away to break the silence: “Ah Heng, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

“This is Xiao He from my department, He Miao Qi.”

“Miao Qi.” Yin Bai Lu deliberately drew out the name, half smiling as she said: “I just heard her call you Master. Has she been under your guidance ever since she joined the company?”

Zou Heng nodded. Yin Bai Lu’s smile grew deeper: “That really is a deep bond between teacher and student. No wonder she rushed over the moment she heard you were hurt.”

He Miao Qi was young and had never seen such a big scene. Her face instantly turned bright red: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know the boss and Madam were here too. I… I… I’ll come visit Master another day.”

She turned around to leave, but Yin Bai Lu stepped forward first to block her: “You’re already here, so why are you in such a hurry to go? Do you dislike having us around, or do you think we might eat you?”

Catching her off guard, Yin Bai Lu dragged her by the arms and legs and pulled her fully into the room, making the girl even more nervous.

Seeing this, Zou Heng could not help speaking up: “Sister-in-law, she’s shy. Don’t tease her.”

“I haven’t even done anything yet, and you already feel sorry for her?”

He Miao Qi froze for a second, her face growing even redder, but her heart could not help secretly filling with joy, especially when she noticed that Zou Heng did not deny anything when Yin Bai Lu said that.

Did that mean she really had a chance?

After watching for so long, Liao Yu Qian finally realized what was going on. He raised his brows slightly and gave a light cough to draw everyone’s attention.

“Even though I don’t really encourage office romances, you two can be an exception.”

His words were so blunt that even Zou Heng could not handle it. He shouted: “Brother!”

“Pff, hahaha…”

The hospital room burst into laughter. Even some patients walking past outside stopped to look in, wondering how people could still laugh this happily while in the hospital.

Watching this scene, the corners of Du An Rao’s mouth could not help lifting.

[This is so nice. Everyone has their own place to belong and lives their own life. Don’t hurt others, and don’t let others hurt you. Safe and sound, An An. Smooth and lucky. Being content is real happiness.]

Mother Du and Du Lian Shuang both froze, especially Du Lian Shuang.

“Being content is happiness, being content is happiness.” Everyone knew that saying, but how many people could really do it?

Not to mention anyone else, just that person in her own home probably would not understand this truth in this life, or even in the next.

At first, Du Lian Shuang thought that the reason Liao Yu Qian and his wife had not had time to look into Liao Jing Yi and Cui Cheng Ye was that they had to deal with Zou Heng and their old enemy, and then had been suddenly attacked.

But she soon realized she was wrong.

After they finished visiting Liao Yu Qian and his wife, Yin Bai Lu personally walked them downstairs. On the way out, she deliberately slowed her steps and let them fall behind the others.

Mother Du immediately guessed what she wanted and took Du An Rao away first, leaving the two of them some space to talk alone.

After making sure the two had gone far and that there was no one else around, Yin Bai Lu finally relaxed and said, looking conflicted: “Lian Shuang, there’s something I might need to discuss with you.”

Surprised by her serious tone, Du Lian Shuang asked: “What is it?”

“It’s about Jing Yi. Before, didn’t An An mention that there was someone with bad intentions around Jing Yi? After we went back, Yu Qian had people carefully investigate all the men Jing Yi has been in contact with recently. In the end, they found that a young man named Cui Cheng Ye has been deliberately getting close to her for some time.”

Du Lian Shuang looked shocked. In her heart she thought, Haven’t you already found this out? Why hasn’t anything happened yet?

Still, she put on her best acting face and asked in confusion: “His surname is Cui? And why does that name sound so familiar?”

“He is the son of that ‘sister’ of Jue Yan’s.”

Du Lian Shuang’s face instantly darkened: “So it’s him.”

“During Yu Qian’s investigation, he happened to learn that Cui Cheng Ye once got drunk at a dinner and said some things about girls that were way over the line and really horrifying. Yu Qian was already planning to teach him a life-long lesson. But thinking about his connection to you, he held back. He wanted to tell you first so we wouldn’t hurt our relationship with you.”

Thinking of the investigation results that Liao Yu Qian had told her when he got back, Yin Bai Lu’s face darkened too.

If she had not cared about her friendship with Du Lian Shuang, she would have already told Liao Yu Qian to tear that little brat into pieces.

Only now did Du Lian Shuang understand. It was not that they did not have time to deal with Cui Cheng Ye. The problem was with her.

She did not know whether to laugh or cry, but she was still very curious: “What did he say after he got drunk?”

Yin Bai Lu’s face was still dark, and she did not answer.

“Did he say he wanted to trick some rich girl into marrying him, then swallow her family’s fortune and dump her once she had served her use?”

Yin Bai Lu stared in surprise: “You knew?”

With a “just as I thought” look on her face, Du Lian Shuang was not surprised at all. Cui Cheng Ye was still young and bad at hiding things. It was completely possible that he would spill the truth when he was drunk.

“This whole thing is not very decent to talk about. I was planning to tell you later. I’m going to divorce Cui Jue Yan.”

“What?!”

After that, Du Lian Shuang briefly explained the messy accounts of the Cui Jue Yan family to Yin Bai Lu. When Yin Bai Lu finished listening, she looked dazed.

“So that ‘sister’ of his is not really his sister, but his mistress, and Cui Cheng Ye is his real son?”

By the time she finished, Yin Bai Lu’s voice had cracked.

“Yeah.”

“These damn father and son. They bullied my sister and now they want to bully my daughter too. This feud is huge now. Don’t worry, I know what to do. I’ll make sure this father and son regret ever coming into this world and regret ever messing with us!”

After saying that, Yin Bai Lu strode off in her high heels, looking like she was about to go start a fight.

Watching her back, Du Lian Shuang felt both amused and touched. At the same time, she was even more curious about how Cui Jue Yan would come begging when something happened to his son, and how he would break down when he realized all his long-term schemes had gone to waste.

However, before she could see karma catch up with the father and son, the birthdays of Du An Rao and Du Yu Xi arrived first.
