My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 284: Turning the Tables, Mingjing is Going to Make a Big Move

A mother wanting to see her daughter was understandable, but stealing her daughter’s phone? What kind of mentality is that? Si Mingjing couldn’t figure it out.

Si Mingjing asked a few more questions, and after confirming there was nothing else, she asked Bing Xiu to leave.

Ye Junqing asked her what she thought of the matter. He intended to test her.

Si Mingjing’s eyes narrowed slightly. After a long thought, she said, "Uncle, I think Miss Bai’s actions might have an ulterior motive. She might not be trying to pick a fight with me but rather using this method to get Liangliang’s phone."

Si Mingjing had a unique way of thinking. Even now, she remained calm and composed, analyzing the underlying purpose without anger or frustration.

Ye Junqing, holding a cup of tea, couldn’t hide the admiration in his eyes. He had already guessed what the other party intended to do but feigned ignorance. "Why would you think that?"

Si Mingjing had always been meticulous and trusted her instincts.

She said, "I’ve had contact with Liangliang and Susu. Over the past five years, their mother has been absent from their world. A mother who truly misses her children couldn’t possibly remain absent throughout their upbringing. Uncle, please don’t take offense if I’m incorrect, but I believe Bai Jiusi doesn’t love the children."

Ye Junqing remained silent, slowly savoring his tea and signaling for her to continue.

"Moreover, her actions—from publicly divorcing Mo Yinhe with no regard for his dignity, to flaunting her relationship with Prince Gaoyang at the Four Nations Summit—clearly show she has no affection for your son. If she has no affection for him, why would she care about me being with Mo Yinhe?

Therefore, she must have another purpose.

Perhaps she’s intentionally causing trouble so that Mo Yinhe will have to deal with her. Then she can visit to apologize, seizing the opportunity to get close to Liangliang and steal her phone."

Nine-tenths satisfaction welled up in Ye Junqing’s eyes. My daughter-in-law is as clear-headed as ever, truly winning my heart!

"You make a lot of sense, Mingjing. I’ll leave this matter for you to handle yourself. I believe in your capability to manage it well. You can go and ask Si Yuan about it, and you’ll understand why she wants Liangliang’s phone."

Si Mingjing nodded. She didn’t understand why Uncle Ye asked her to find Si Yuan, but since he had mentioned it, she would seek out Ye Siyuan after leaving, perhaps to find more answers.

Ye Junqing was exceedingly fond of his daughter-in-law.

After Si Mingjing left, he kept praising his son’s good fortune in front of Ye Xinguang.

"Truly excellent, still that brilliant daughter-in-law. Yinhe has good taste and good fortune. With such a daughter-in-law by Yinhe’s side, I am reassured!"

However, Ye Xinguang frowned. "You’re still laughing? Our daughter-in-law has been bullied, and yet you ask her to deal with it herself."

"If our daughter-in-law can handle it well, why not let her? My children should all have the ability to protect themselves. It is better to teach them how to fish than to just give them fish. In this lifetime, the only person I want to protect is you."

Ye Junqing suddenly uttered a sweet nothing, amusing Ye Xinguang.

She hmphed twice.

Si Mingjing sought out Ye Siyuan and explained the whole situation.

Ye Siyuan was infuriated. "What? That vile woman, she dared to throw paint at you?"

"No, it only got on the car. Si Yuan, do you know what Bai Jiusi needs from Liangliang’s phone?"

"I know! She wants Liangliang’s phone? Dream on!"

Ye Siyuan told Si Mingjing, "Mingjing, the video of you dancing for my brother a few days ago was captured by Liangliang and sent to the High Priest of Mu Continent. The High Priest greatly admired your dance and wants you to represent Mu Continent in the opening ceremony performance at the upcoming interstellar competition. I was just about to discuss this with you.

Bai Jiusi also wants to perform at the opening ceremony. She wants the video of your dance so she can steal your moves and use your hard work to get ahead. She’s utterly shameless!"

Si Mingjing’s eyes narrowed. So that’s what this is about?

Si Mingjing thought of a counter-plan. I’ll turn her own scheme against her, she decided.

She shared her idea with Ye Siyuan, whose eyes lit up. "Mingjing, great idea! Let’s do it!"

The two of them plotted.

The next day, Si Mingjing and Ye Siyuan went out together. Si Mingjing also ordered Bing Xiu to send the license plate number to Bai Jiusi again.

This time, they headed to a café and reserved a small private room.

After receiving the café’s address, Bai Jiusi rushed over and, sure enough, saw the targeted car parked at the entrance.

Bai Jiusi repeated her old trick. Dressed in black clothes, wearing a black hat and a black mask, she began to spray paint on the car.

Si Mingjing had already arranged for people to lie in wait, ready to catch Bai Jiusi in the act. However, to her surprise, someone acted faster than them.

Si Mingjing was taken aback. "Who?"

「*」

While Bai Jiusi was spray painting, she was suddenly subdued. She yelled indignantly, "Who is it? You’re hurting me! Let go!"

Instead of releasing her, the assailant removed her sunglasses and mask, wanting to see who she was.

The moment her features were exposed, the guard saw a face that could topple nations and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Bai?"

Bai Jiusi wasn’t flustered at all; in fact, she felt a touch of smug satisfaction. My trap was successful! she thought. She put on an angry expression. "Bastard, let me go!"

The guard asked her coldly, "Miss Bai, what are you doing?"

Bai Jiusi feigned the furious expression of a wronged wife confronting a mistress.

"Can’t you see what I’m doing? Mo Yinhe betrayed our love for a woman from Prison Star! I was so furious that I publicly divorced him. That woman blatantly became the other woman, stealing my husband and my children! Don’t you think I deserve to vent this anger?" Bai Jiusi stated confidently.

Even though she had no interest whatsoever in Mo Yinhe, a man from the mainland, it didn’t stop her from using this as an excuse to attack Si Mingjing.

The guard said sternly, "Miss Bai, you had better go explain yourself to the Crown Prince."

Bai Jiusi knew the guard was referring to Mo Yinhe as the Crown Prince. She wasn’t scared in the slightest. In fact, I’ll deliberately escalate things later to make Mo Yinhe lose face! she plotted.

Bai Jiusi arrogantly followed the guard into the café.

Seeing a man sitting by the window, his head turned to look outside, Bai Jiusi, her high heels CLACKING, strode over, snatched a glass of red wine from the table, and was about to throw it at him.

She shouted, "You scumbag..."

Hearing Bai Jiusi’s voice, the man lazily turned his head, giving her a piercing look.

The red wine in Bai Jiusi’s hand, about to be thrown, came to an abrupt halt.

Seeing Si Lisao’s strikingly handsome face, Bai Jiusi was so shocked she stumbled backward. "C-Crown... Crown Prince?"

Si Lisao’s gaze fell coldly on her hand holding the wine, a sneer unintentionally gracing the corner of his lips. "Thinking of splashing wine on me?"

Bai Jiusi wouldn’t dare. "No, no... not at all..."

"Then what is it?" Si Lisao’s gaze was utterly devoid of warmth. His powerful, icy aura was enough to make one fall silent from fear.

Bai Jiusi still held the glass of red wine, uncertain whether to keep holding it or put it down. In the next instant, she splashed it directly onto her own face.
