Chapter 9: Sister

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I quarreled with your brother-in-law again yesterday. He slammed the door and went out. He hasn’t returned yet. I don’t know where he went either.”

“Why did you argue?” Bai Yi did not understand. Without her around, their relationship should have eased.

“I want to buy some gifts for the kindergarten teacher. It’s not easy to find a good kindergarten for Nuonuo now. I want to build up our relationship as soon as possible, but your brother-in-law has always been unwilling. He said that kindergarten is not important. He said if I really wanted to buy the gifts, I should go out and sell myself for money…”

Bai Yi was shocked. How could her brother-in-law say things like this?

“Sis, if you need money, you can use what I gave you previously. I can support you.”

Bai Ying shook her head. “You don’t have to give me money in the future. You don’t live in my house now and you just got married. You have to buy more things for yourself.”

Seeing her sister like this, Bai Ying felt even worse.

“If there’s no other way, get a divorce.” Looking at her sister, Bai Yi said what she had long wanted to say.

“I believe your brother-in-law will repent. After all, we’ve been together for so many years. These tricks and words that were used to scheme against me should have been urged by his mother. Wait for me to persuade your brother-in-law to come back. He won’t listen to those people.”

Bai Yi knew that her sister was unable to come out of her marriage now. She felt extremely sad.

“Let’s not talk about me. I can survive. How are you? Is my younger brother-in-law okay?”

Bai Yi roughly explained Lu Qi’s situation and also said that they wanted the two families to meet in the future. Only then did Bai Ying relax and smile.

“If you’re happy, I don’t have anything to worry about. I can win back your brother-in-law’s heart. Give me some time. I believe he still loves me.”

Bai Ying’s smile looked forced, but Bai Yi did not say anything else. She only secretly hid a few hundred yuan in cash under her sister’s sofa.

Her sister would not leave this family for the time being, so she had to work hard to become her sister’s backer.

Lu Qi sat in the car and replayed what had happened today in his mind. After thinking for a long time, he came to a realization. Perhaps it was because he wanted reports of her accounts when he gave her the credit card this morning that she was angry. Thinking about it carefully, doing this seemed to be no different from keeping a mistress under surveillance.

He felt a little guilty and decided to send an apology message to Bai Yi.

“I was rude today. Take the money and spend it. If it’s a particularly large expense, discuss it with me. Otherwise, you can decide on the rest.”

Just as he sent it out, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car shook violently.

“What’s going on?”

“Mr. Lu, there are many office workers riding bicycles on this road. They ride bicycles through the spaces between the cars. I’m not too familiar with the traffic conditions here.”

This was the first time they had headed to the company from here. The driver was also frightened by the swaying bicycle army.

Lu Qi looked out of the window and saw Bai Yi in the middle of a group of cyclists. Bai Yi was riding a shared bicycle through the crowd.

She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. Her hair was down sprinkled with gold by the sun.

This was the fresh air she was talking about? How was it good to ride on the road like this and breathe car exhaust?

Furthermore, there were cars coming and going. Everyone was in a hurry to go to work at the morning rush hour. This way, it was very easy to get into a car accident.

In the morning, she had even said that she liked to ride a bike and not a car. This kind of girl from a small family had a bad temper and liked to be stubborn.

If they could take a car to and from work, who would suffer riding a bicycle…

“That looks like Madam. Should we give her a ride?” The driver also noticed Bai Yi.

“No need. Let’s go straight. Let’s see if there are any other routes in the future. We won’t take this route in the future.”

Bai Yi was cycling across the road when a moving Maybach attracted her gaze.

This was a real luxury car. The people who could drive such a car must be rich. Why were they working in Gaoxin district? Most of the people here were low-level workers or workers who had just graduated a few years ago.

If only she could afford such a car one day. If she had the financial resources to buy such a car, she would definitely have the ability to get her sister out of her unhappy marriage.

“Why are you so late?” Cui Yu saw Bai Yi and called her to sit at the front desk.

“My mother has been talking about you. Over the past two days, some clients have sent my mother Chinese mitten crabs. Coincidentally, she made some crab powder soup dumplings and asked me to bring it to you.”
