Chapter 766 Being Played by Shu Yanian

Bai Yunan maintained his solemn expression and was not affected by Bai Jingshu's questioning.

He paused for a moment before saying, "It's not like I can stop them from following me when they want to come."

Bai Jingshu snorted coldly and turned around, pulling An Xia along as they walked away.

Bai Yunan glanced at the two people behind him and didn't say much. He stepped forward, grabbed Lu Qingyou, and followed in the direction Bai Jingshu went.

Lu Qingyou struggled a bit while being carried by Bai Yunan, but Bai Yunan didn't react at all. She gritted her teeth and shouted at Bai Yunan, "Bai Yunan, let go of me!"

At that, Bai Yunan turned his head and glanced at her.

There happened to be a high stool nearby. Bai Yunan held her by the waist and placed her on it before he pressed his palms on the wall behind her. Leaning over, he looked at her with an expressionless face. He uttered calmly, "I'll give you 30 seconds to call me again."

Lu Qingyou was very familiar with Bai Yunan and knew his temper.

Not wanting to wait for 30 seconds, she immediately sat up straight and called out seriously, "Yunan!"

"Good girl." Bai Yunan rewarded her by patting her head and holding her hand. "Now come down."

And so, she simply held his hand. Afraid that he would let go, she held on tighter.

Bai Yunan was slightly taken aback and wanted to pull his hand away, but he started to wonder what if he made her unhappy by letting her go. After all, he hadn't seen her in a long time.

With this thought in mind, he didn't make any movements and let Lu Qingyou hold his hand.

The two of them entered the private room like this.

Bai Jingshu was cracking peanuts for An Xia when he looked up and saw Bai Yunan leading Lu Qingyou in. His eyes flickered then. He put the peanuts he had just peeled into a small dish in front of An Xia, clapped his hands, and leaned back lazily. "Yunan, Qingyou is a grown woman. Why are you still holding her hand? What if she can't find a boyfriend in the future? You'll take responsibility for her, right?"

He wasn't sure if he had taken An Xia's words to heart, but now that he looked at Bai Yunan and Lu Qingyou, he had a nagging feeling that something was going on between them.

Lu Qingyou and Bai Yunan had always been close since they were young. However, they were adults now. It was not appropriate for them to hold hands like this, as it could lead to misunderstandings.

"What kind of nonsense is that, Jingshu?!"

Looking awkward, Lu Qingyou stomped over and hit Bai Jingshu's shoulder.

Bai Yunan merely shrugged and pulled her to sit down before he tapped her on the head. "Silly girl."

Lu Qingyou glared at him. "You go sit over there. I want to sit with An Xia."

"No." Bai Jingshu refused without hesitation. He shamelessly held An Xia and flashed an arrogant grin at Lu Qingyou.

An Xia also smiled at Lu Qingyou while she secretly pinched Bai Jingshu's waist.

Bai Jingshu's face stiffened for a moment. Forcing a smile, he stood up and said stiffly, "Qingyou, come sit over here. I have something to discuss with Yunan."

He rubbed the spot that An Xia had pinched and sat down next to Bai Yunan resentfully.

After Bai Yunan glanced at him, he picked up a bottle of wine and asked Bai Jingshu, "You drinking?"

"Just a little." Bai Yunan picked up a glass and handed it to him.

He then poured Bai Jingshu half a glass before he raised his glass to clink with him after taking a sip.

After Bai Jingshu took a sip, he looked toward the door and asked, "Why haven't they come in yet?"

Bai Yunan knew that Bai Jingshu was referring to Bai Yeqi and his wife.

"His injury hasn't fully healed, so he can't move around easily."

Bai Jingshu tapped his glass. "Was it Shu Yanian who wanted to come?"

"It's Bai Yeqi." Bai Yunan didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed a little absent-minded. "I don't know where he found out from, but they will be celebrating at Qinghan's bar tonight. He came to ask me for the address."

Bai Jingshu sneered.

As if he had something to say, Bai Yunan paused for a moment. However, Bai Yeqi and his wife had already entered at this moment, and other people also began to arrive one after another. Bai Yunan ended up not saying anything else.

...

Tonight's gathering was hosted by Lu Qinghan to celebrate Bai Jingshu's wedding.

Because Lu Qinghan had informed them in advance, Bai Jingshu's childhood friends and acquaintances didn't cause any trouble. Besides drinking, they didn't bring any random women over either. They politely addressed An Xia as "sister-in-law."

An Xia had a feeling that she was the "big brother's woman."

Although these people were all from wealthy families, it was clear that they were wary of the Bai brothers.

However, their attitude toward Bai Jingshu and Bai Yunan was obviously better. They only nodded and didn't have any extra interaction with Bai Yeqi and his wife.

Bai Yeqi couldn't drink as his injuries hadn't fully healed yet. He only asked for a glass of water and sat there with a pale face, making people feel a bit sorry for him.

An Xia found a moment to sit next to Bai Jingshu and asked him, "Aren't you going to talk to your second brother?"

"My second brother? Just call him by his name!" Bai Jingshu was rolling dice with someone when he said this to her. He then turned his head to urge the person next to him, "Come on, you coward!"

An Xia felt helpless.

She looked up at Bai Yunan and saw that he was drinking with someone. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, she didn't dare to go to him.

As she sat down on the side, Lu Qingyou quickly came over.

"An Xia, let's play something too."

An Xia turned to look at her. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Qingyou, do you know what happened between Shu Yanian and Yunan before?"

"Huh?" Lu Qingyou was taken aback for a moment before asking, "You don't know?"

An Xia's smile turned awkward. She wouldn't be asking Lu Qingyou if she knew.

Lu Qingyou hesitated for a moment. "Actually, I understand why Jingshu hasn't told you."

An Xia's heart sank a little when she saw Lu Qingyou's troubled expression. It couldn't be that there was something earth-shattering between Bai Jingshu and Shu Yanian, right?

"What happened between them before?"

Lu Qingyou glanced in Bai Jingshu's direction and then leaned close to An Xia's ear, whispering, "It was Shu Yanian who dumped Jingshu and then got together with Bai Yeqi. She married into the Bai family after that. Jingshu always felt embarrassed about this and never let anyone talk about it."

Why is it different from what I imagined? An Xia thought to herself.

Lu Qingyou thought An Xia didn't believe it when she saw the latter's puzzled expression.

She couldn't let Bai Jingshu lose the wife he had finally gotten.

She quickly explained, "Jingshu often drinks and plays outside until late at night. One night, he got into a car accident after drinking too much, and Shu Yanian happened to pass by and called an ambulance for him. They got together after that. Even so, Shu Yanian has a messy family background. Even she knew that she could never marry Bai Jingshu. But it's different for Bai Yeqi. Although Mr. Bai favors Bai Yeqi, Bai Yeqi is still an illegitimate child. Old Master Bai doesn't value him that much either, and also..."

Lu Qingyou paused and became extremely serious. "I think Shu Yanian is a scary woman. Although Jingshu likes to play, he is clever enough to not be deceived. Even he didn't expect that Shu Yanian had already gotten together with Bai Yeqi until Bai Yeqi brought her back to Bai Residence and said he wanted to marry her."

The corners of An Xia's mouth twitched. "Can't Shu Yanian and Yeqi be in love? They seem quite affectionate."

Lu Qingyou looked disgusted. "Yunan said that Shu Yanian is more cunning than she appears. An Xia, stay away from her when you see her in the future."

"Why would Yunan say that?"

"I don't know." Lu Qingyou shook her head. "But whatever Yunan says is always right."

An Xia thought, What else can I say to that?
