“Isn’t Lu Jinnan the husband of Xiaonian who lives upstairs?”


  “That’s right…… What’s going on?”


  “I heard that Xiaonian’s husband is the Kaide Corporation’s president. They say that rich guys aren’t good men. Could he have kept a mistress outside?”


  “It can’t be that Xiaonian is a mistress, right? How can a mistress’s mother be so arrogant and come knocking on the main partner’s door?”


  When Bai Xiaonian heard the hysterical cries coming from Hong Jinyun’s mother, she felt disgusted. However, she wasn’t angry and just stood at the balcony and looked downstairs.

  “Don’t look! What’s there to look at? I’ll go downstairs and reason with her!” Bai Xiaonian’s father was so angry that his hands were trembling. He picked up his coat and was about to head out.

  If Hong Jinyun’s mother was allowed to keep on shouting like this, Bai Xiaonian might just be seen as a third party!

  “Dad, don’t go down!” Bai Xiaonian came in from the balcony and asked, “Where’s that loudspeaker you asked for when Liu Mingchen was detained because of Abinoque? The one from when you went to the detention center to ask for him to be released.”


  Bai Xiaonian’s father was perplexed, but he still replied, “It’s on the top cabinet in the bathroom!”


  Bai Xiaonian’s father, who was halfway through putting on his coat, saw Bai Xiaonian entering the bathroom. He felt worried and went in as well.

  He saw Bai Xiaonian taking down the loudspeaker, switching it on, and testing to check that it was working. He asked, “Are you planning on fighting with her by using the loudspeaker from upstairs?”


  Bai Xiaonian handed the loudspeaker to her father. She then carried a basin of water and splashed it out the window, drenching Hong Jinyun’s mother.

  Hong Jinyun’s mother shivered as she looked upstairs in disbelief, putting on a great act of having been bullied.

  Bai Xiaonian put down the basin slowly, took the loudspeaker from her father’s hand, and rested against the balcony’s handrail. She raised up the loudspeaker and slowly spoke out to Hong Jinyun’s mother, who was kneeling downstairs. “What do you want to say to me? Do you want to say that your daughter can’t live without Lu Jinnan, so you want me to give up Lu Jinnan to your daughter?”


  “Our Jinyun was a couple with Lu Jinnan to begin with! Bai Xiaonian…… you’re young and beautiful! What kind of man can’t you get? Why must you insist on Lu Jinnan? Can you just take pity on the fact that our Jinyun doesn’t have long to live and return Jinnan to her? Our Jinyun’s greatest wish in this lifetime is to get married to Jinnan! I beg of you! I beg of you!”


  Hong Jinyun’s mother knelt on the ground, banging her head hard on the ground as she kowtowed.

  “Is Old Bai’s daughter really a mistress?”


  “Xiaonian doesn’t look like one! She even saved her husband back in the United States!”


  “What do you mean she doesn’t look like one? Don’t judge a book by its cover!”


  All the passersby and neighbors started to side more with the pitiful lady who was kneeling on the ground and had water splashed at her.

  “She’s really shameless to be a mistress!”


  “All mistresses should die! Especially when the original partner is on the verge of death…… She’s already so pitiful, yet this person is still snatching her man. The guy is a horrible guy, and the woman isn’t any good either!”


  All the passersby gritted their teeth as they looked upstairs.

  Bai Xiaonian didn’t care about what these people said. She held up the loudspeaker. “Your daughter left Lu Jinnan, having no news at all for eight years. I’ve known Lu Jinnan for two years, and it hasn’t even been a year since we got married. Don’t be kneeling downstairs trying to turn the tables to your side, spoiling my reputation into that of a third party who got between Lu Jinnan and your daughter!”


  “If your daughter really can’t live without Lu Jinnan, then she’d have died many years ago! She managed to survive well after having left for eight years. Why is it that after realizing that Lu Jinnan has become the Kaide Corporation’s president…… your daughter suddenly can’t live on without him? What kind of reasoning is that?”


  Hong Jinyun’s mother didn’t understand Bai Xiaonian well enough. Bai Xiaonian was someone who’d either ignore someone thoroughly or make sure that the other party would definitely not have it good if she were to choose to bicker with them.

  The middle-aged woman who was kneeling on the floor immediately realized that Bai Xiaonian wasn’t someone who was easy to be dealt with. She started to use the pity card. “Bai Xiaonian, Jinyun doesn’t have much longer to live! Please take pity on her……”


  “So, in order to take pity on your daughter, I must divorce my husband?” asked Bai Xiaonian. “Then, with so many people who have gotten terminal illnesses but want to become the wife of the Kaide Corporation’s president, do I have to act like a saint and give up my husband to all those pitiful people who come to find me?”


  “Miss Bai, my daughter really loves Lu Jinnan. She’s not hankering after him just because he is the Kaide Corporation’s president! Otherwise, how could she have been in a relationship with Lu Jinnan, who didn’t have anything back then?” Hong Jinyun’s mother cried.

  “Just because your daughter and Lu Jinnan have been in a relationship before, even though she hasn’t appeared for the past eight years, even though Lu Jinnan has already gotten married and is having a child, as long as your daughter wants Lu Jinnan, even if I’m his legal wife, I’ll have to divorce him and give him up to her? Is your daughter so amazing?”


  Hong Jinyun’s mother was about to say something when she heard Bai Xiaonian using the loudspeaker and continued to say……

  “I’m pregnant with a child. You suddenly came to our place, fiercely pushing my father away and wanting to barge into our house without any reason. Why would we let you in? When Hong Jinyun was young, you abandoned her. You’re only by her side now because there are things that you can get! What should I do if you were to lay a hand on me and something were to happen to me, a mother who is pregnant with a child? When you realized that we didn’t want to let you in, you ran downstairs to kneel there, trying to sell your pitiful story, wanting to spoil my name! How can you be so terrifying?”


  “You’re spouting gibberish!” Hong Jinyun’s mother got up and pointed in Bai Xiaonian’s direction. She wanted to deny that she wasn’t staying by Hong Jinyun’s side just because she could benefit from it.

  “Am I? Which line was gibberish…… Was it that I’m pregnant? Was it that you wanted to barge into our house? Or was it that you abandoned Hong Jinyun when she was four and eloped with a rich man?” Bai Xiaonian smiled. “If Hong Jinyun had a mother, would she have become addicted to drugs? Would she have been raped and gotten pregnant because she hung out with the wrong friends? Would she have ended up having to go to an illegal clinic for an abortion, thereby ruining her uterus? All these happened because she didn’t have a mother, and her father wasn’t by her side either!”


  “Our Jinyun was arrested because of Lu Jinnan! She got addicted to drugs because of him!” Hong Jinyun’s mother cried out hysterically.

  “If you really want to talk about this seriously, why don’t we make the truth of Lu Jinnan murdering someone open to the public?” Bai Xiaonian’s voice sounded calm. “I work in the news industry, and this is what I’m best at!”


  All the neighbors who knew Bai Xiaonian’s family reprimanded Hong Jinyun’s mother loudly……

  “What kind of person is this? Coming out to snatch Xiaonian’s husband after seeing that he’s a president?”


  “That’s right! Xiaonian is right! She can survive after disappearing for eight years, yet, after finding out that Xiaonian’s husband is a president…… she suddenly came out to say that she can’t survive without him!”


  “It’s really…… Abandoning the child that she gave birth to, yet, after seeing that there are benefits…… suddenly coming to break up someone else’s marriage. So shameless!”
