Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 627 Heard It

Xia Ruoxin found the situation funny. What did she need all that money for? If she really wanted those, she wouldn’t have refused him when Chu Lui had already given half of his fortune to her. Even without half of Chu Lui’s fortune, just one-tenth of it would be comparable to the whole fortune of the Bai family’s.

“As long as you agree, I would let you and your daughter to marry into the Bai family,” added Bai Zhenfeng.

His every word and sentence took Xia Ruoxin like a fool and an idiot. If Gao Yi really admitted guilty, he would be sent to jail; and she would just be marrying air in the Bai family. Moreover, with Bai Luoyin’s psychotic personality, she would torment her and her daughter. Also, Bai Luoyin would not agree to a divorce so Gao Yi might end up marrying two wives, or she had to marry Bai Luoyin even.

When Bai Zhenfeng was about to continue, Xia Ruoxin interrupted rudely.

“Mr. Bai, you’ve said much, and I understand what you mean. However, I want to know what powers do you think I have to convince Gao Yi to take the rap for something he did not do?”

“Because you’re Xia Ruoxin.” Bai Zhenfeng boomed, and dramatic anger could be seen in his eyes.

However, all this could not affect Xia Ruoxin. After escaping from Chu Lui, she was no longer the Xia Ruoxin of the past. Bai Zhenfeng’s threat could not even compare to one-tenth of Chu Lui’s. Perhaps, whatever Chu Lui did then was not all wrong-at the very least, the shock that her heart could handle was a lot worse than what she thought.

She mockingly opened her mouth and sneered rudely; it was impossible for Bai Zhenfeng to miss it.

“I know my name is Xia Ruoxin, not Gao Yi.”

Bai Zhenfeng realized he was too temperamental so he suppressed the discomfort in his chest. This time, he looked friendlier; but the arrogant vibe around him did not decrease.

He laughed coldly, “Just based on that day he was willing to go against me for you, I knew that if you go, he would definitely agree.”

“However, did he not listen to you in the end-and marry Bai Luoyin?” Xia Ruoxin held her head high and smiled lightly, but Bai Zhenfeng wanted to destroy whatever was behind the smile.

As expected, Bai Zhenfeng’s face darkened. A distinguished stakeholder of a company, who had secured many business deals and earned a lot of money after being involved in many serious discussions, was turned into a monster that did not have common sense and would spout nonsense randomly.

Xia Ruoxin did not know whether she should commend her dad’s gracious heart, or perhaps it was precisely that type of love had harmed Bai Luoyin. Whatever she wanted as a child, she would get it for sure; even if she could not, she would destroy the extra food.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Bai...” Xia Ruoxin stood up and walked towards the door. “I would not agree with whatever you said, and it’s impossible for Gao Yi to take the rap for your daughter. No one can save her.”

“Still, have...” she turned and triggered Bai Zhenfeng’s murderous face by accident.

“Mr. Bai, you don’t need to scare me with your glare. Your daughter hired someone to break into my house just recently and wanted to throw me and my daughter into the ocean to feed the fish. That person is still in jail now. Your daughter’s life is precious, but that does not mean that Gao Yi and our lives are sh*t.

“It’s not hard to get someone to lie for you, but we aren’t going to do that. Today, you can make this kind of ridiculous requests just for Bai Luoyin; but as a mother myself-to protect my daughter’s safety, I can do things that you can’t even imagine I am capable of. Don’t think that only your Bai family has all the authority. Just a friendly reminder, you can always check my background, Mr. Bai.”

At that moment, Xia Ruoxin decided to use the Chu family’s status not for herself, but for Rainy. The incident between her and Chu Lui was known throughout the city, starting from their divorce to the vying of the child’s custody. It was not hard to check all of this.

If he wanted to find a saving grace from her, he was looking for the wrong person.

She had already unlocked the door, and with a slight pull, the door would be open.

“Mr. Bai, I still have some stuff on later so please...”

For the first time in his life, Bai Zhenfengwho had just got chased out—had the urge to kill someone... a woman even. Xia Ruoxin opened the door and stood there without even looking at Bai Zhenfeng in the eye.

When Bai Zhenfeng was about to walk past her, she opened her mouth again. “Mr. Bai, have you ever considered Auntie Wei when you do this? Bai Luoyin is your daughter, but Gao Yi is her son. Auntie Wei gave you her entire life. Your daughter is precious, but her son isn’t nothing. Mr. Bai, I admit that you are a good father, but you will never ever be a good husband.”

Bai Zhenfeng’s face darkened, and he walked out with his facial expression tensed up. However, his body was stuck there, and he could not make any move forward. Xia Ruoxin followed his line of sight, and she bit her lip slightly. She did not know if this was fate or pure coincidence.

Sometimes, a person really could not do something wrong. It’s not that karma would not come; it was just that the time was not ripe.

The person standing there was not anyone else but Wei Lan. She would have heard their conversion just now since the walls of the house were not soundproof, and the door was ajar. It would be easy to hear their voices that were not hushed.

There was no need to ask her how she knew. When Rainy was playing at home-once there was a noise outside, she would know instinctively who had arrived... no matter if it was Little Amy or Madam Mei Fu. If a child could differentiate, let alone an adult.

She walked back in and left the space to the couple.

At this point, there seemed to be something stuck in Bai Zhenfeng’s throat. It was hard and bitter to even call out Wei Lan’s name.

Wei Lan moved her pale lips slightly. Suddenly, she smiled.

That smile, however, caused Bai Zhenfeng to fear. He was horrified. He did not know how much did Wei Lan hear, and now, he was really scared. All these years, it was the first time he was so scared, scared to lose this thing that was irreplaceable in his life. If he lost this, he was not sure how he could continue living.

Wei Lan walked over and extended her hand while Bai Zhenfeng did not move an inch. He was prepared to be hit. It was okay, as long as she calmed down and he could explain the reason behind all of this to her, it would all be okay. He would not let Gao Yi get into trouble; all of this was just temporary.

However, Wei Lan did not raise her hand to give him a slap. She raised it to habitually place it on his chest and dutifully arrange his clothes. It had always been like that for the past twenty years.
