Chapter 616 - 7: Sister-in-Law (Part 7)
Chapter 616 - 7: Sister-in-Law (Part 7)
Today, Hu Angran specifically came to find Li Shuning.
He didn’t expect Li Shuning to actually be working at Li Group, and even more, she is the eldest daughter of the Li Family.
If he agrees to that matter, it would be tantamount to making enemies with the Bai Family and Li Family.
He kept thinking, could he handle it?
But to refuse?
If he missed this opportunity, there might never be another one.
He had come so far alone, and it was really too exhausting, too difficult.
If Li Shuning was unmarried, he would definitely not agree to the person’s request, but Li Shuning was already married, wasn’t she?
Why are some people born with a silver spoon in their mouths?
Isn’t it unfair?
If he had known Li Shuning’s identity back then, how much more advantage he would have! At that time, he could have won over Li Shuning, but there is no "if only I’d known" in the world.
So, doing it this way, he wouldn’t be wrong. He was just trying to help the company grow faster.
Didn’t Li Shuning say before that she and he were friends?
Between friends, shouldn’t they help each other?
Surely someone like her, the eldest daughter, wouldn’t mind such a minor loss, right?
Maybe he’s even better than her husband? Maybe he could even win her favor?
Because of Hu Angran, as soon as he went home, Bai Siyang immediately went to the bedroom for a deep conversation with the "puppet."
He said he was jealous.
The "puppet" laughed softly, "Silly, today we just ran into each other by chance. He was in the same school as me before, we were both in the student council, got along well, and became friends. If you don’t like it, I’ll avoid him a bit in the future."
"Darling, you’re the best for me, but you should also have your social circle, just make sure you have me in your heart, and I won’t care about the rest."
They snuggled for a while before going to dinner.
That evening, with Bai Xiaojun not around, they felt much more at ease.
After that, Hu Angran would occasionally appear in front of Li Shuning, either inviting her to dinner or tea.
But the "puppet" refused them all.
Of course, this only fueled Hu Angran’s rebellious heart even more.
"Shuning, aren’t we good friends? Did I do something wrong? Why do I feel like you’re avoiding me?"
The "puppet" smiled sheepishly, "How could that be, it’s just that I’m married now, and sometimes I have to be mindful of appearances."
"Ah, is Mr. Bai still that controlling with you? We’re just friends, what’s the big deal about that?"
The "puppet" smiled but said nothing.
Hu Angran became even more eager.
That day, while the "puppet" was at work, she suddenly received a text message containing several photos.
In the photos, Bai Siyang was getting quite close with a woman, and from the angle, you could even see Bai Siyang’s gentle gaze.
The "puppet" looked at the photos for a long time, but in fact, it was Li Shuning who looked at them for a long while.
This wasn’t part of the plot.
Who was this woman?
Li Shuning thought for a moment and directly sent the photos to Bai Siyang.
"Hubby, who is this woman? Someone deliberately sent your photo with her to me today!"
Soon after, Bai Siyang called.
"Wifey, the person in the photo is one of my cousins, who’s been abroad for a long time and just came back yesterday. You probably haven’t seen her before. I’ll take you to meet her sometime. I’m actually having a meal with her today. Who sent you those photos? It’s really unfair; I wouldn’t do anything with my cousin."
"The cousin is truly pretty."
"Yeah, my cousin has always been good-looking, but these photos only show her from the side. Without a closer look, you wouldn’t even know it’s her."
Li Shuning understood deep down; surely someone did this on purpose?
"Hubby, someone sent me these photos out of the blue, they must have a purpose. If I hadn’t asked you, would there have been a misunderstanding?"
"You’re right, sweetie. Luckily, you asked me."
"Hubby, you shouldn’t tell anyone about this, okay? Since someone sent these photos to me, they’ll definitely make a move. We’ll know what they’re up to then."
"The main thing is, I want to see who’s playing tricks behind the scenes."
"Okay, everything as you say, sweetheart. What’s your plan?"
"A normal person would argue after seeing these photos, right? We can pretend to argue to lure out the culprit and see what they’re trying to do."
"Sweetheart, I really don’t want to fight with you."
"Oh, come on, just pretend, please listen to me. Then you know what, I’ll agree to that thing you want."
"What? You mean the thing in the bathroom? Haha, alright, I’m in."
Coincidentally, that evening, Bai Xiaojun, whom they hadn’t seen for days, appeared at home.
But she noticed something seemed off at home.
Her brother wasn’t back yet, and the sister-in-law, who always pretended to be gentle and kind, was sitting on the couch with a cold face, without a smile, and even reddened eyes.
"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Where’s my brother? Did he make you angry?"
The "puppet" remained silent, trembling slightly, as if desperately holding something back.
Inside, Bai Xiaojun was overjoyed, lightly patting the "puppet" on the back.
The servant had prepared dinner, but the "puppet" didn’t eat. It wasn’t until past seven that there was noise, clearly indicating Bai Siyang had returned.
Bai Siyang walked in with a smile, but soon noticed something wasn’t right. His dear wife was sitting there with a cold face and red eyes. Seeing Bai Xiaojun, Bai Siyang’s face darkened, wondering if his sister was bullying his wife again?
Yet, his wife suddenly rushed over.
Bai Siyang opened his arms, ready to catch the "puppet."
But unexpectedly, the "puppet" pulled out a phone from her pocket and threw it directly at Bai Siyang.
Bai Siyang fumbled but finally caught the phone.
"Sweetheart, what’s going on here?"
The "puppet’s" eyes reddened further, tears dripping down: "Bai Siyang, when you married me, you said you would cherish me forever. How long has it been, and you’re already being intimate with another woman outside, do you feel worthy of me?"
Bai Siyang felt a bit panicked inside; oh my, did his wife become a drama queen?
He recalled his wife’s suggestion about playing along.
He said a bit at a loss, "Sweetheart, what’s wrong? I haven’t done anything to let you down, what happened?"
"You still dare to deny it, just look at the photos yourself."
Bai Siyang opened the phone as instructed and soon saw the message there.
Indeed, as his wife mentioned, the words had a provocative tone, not to mention the photos, which were all taken with an ambiguous angle.
He stood there momentarily stunned.
His silence was mistaken for agreement, at least that was how the "puppet" pretended to interpret it.
