Yun Bixue started first. “Everyone knows that Bai Yaoyao is the future wife of the president. From what I know, Bai Yaoyao’s father has long passed away, so why are you saying that he’s your future son-in-law?”
Yun Bilu raised her fists. “Answer quickly. If you don’t, you better watch out for my fist.”
Old Master Duan sighed. “Let me say it. The Duan and Chi family used to have a marriage alliance between Yanhao and their daughter, Chi Jiaojiao… But Chi Jiaojiao passed away in her teens during a mission, so the marriage alliance didn’t happen. Afterwards, Yanhao met Yaoyao and fell in love with her…”
Old Master Duan summarized it cleanly but stated the main points as well.
Yun Bilu let out a sardonic laugh at Master Chi. “You have no shame, wanting to use that to trap the Duan family.”
Being ridiculed in that manner by someone younger was indeed embarrassing. If it wasn’t for his daughter who egged him on, he wouldn’t have lost face.
The Duan family had to consider the previous ties they had with the Chi family, so they couldn’t do anything to them. However, Yun Bilu had no ties with the Duan family, so she had no concerns about the consequences.
Which was why Yun Bilu threw a fist at Master Chi to shut him up, causing him to pass out and stop spouting crap that would sour everyone’s mood.
In the end, Old Master Duan sighed before tiredly instructing people to drag the three out while he went back to rest in his room.
Seeing the pale expression on her elder sister, Yun Bilu did not dare to ask more and instead urged her to go back to her room to rest as well.
But she still asked Xie Limo what had happened.
Xie Limo did not hide anything from Yun Bilu and Huang Yize.
After hearing what had happened to Bai Yaoyao, Yun Bilu revealed a shocked expression and immediately went online to check the news.
Even after a while, she couldn’t find anything.
Yun Bilu said in confusion, “That’s weird. Brother-in-law, there’s nothing online? Even when I searched for the term ‘president’s wife’, all that comes up is how Elder Sister Yaoyao and the president met and fell in love and how they rushed into enemies’ territories. They were all singing praises of their deeds.”
Xie Limo’s expression shifted, and he looked at the news. Deep in thought, he replied, “From the looks of it, the news has been suppressed. He acted pretty fast.”
“Who?”
Huang Yize tapped her on the forehead. “Dummy. Who else can it be? It’s Duan Yanhao. Other than him, who else has the power to suppress all these news within a single night?”
“That’s true. You can see his love for Elder Sister Yaoyao. Huang Yize, why don’t we go take a look at the hospital since we will be waiting anxiously here anyway?”
Xie Limo looked at Huang Yize and nodded. He said in a crisp voice, “It’s a good idea for you two to go. I need to stay to take care of Xue, so I cannot leave. You guys can go and take a look and tell us about it when you come back, so Xue can rest assured as well.”
After getting the hospital’s address, Yun Bilu and Huang Yize went to the hospital.
Xie Limo guarded beside Yun Bixue. He knew that her body could not withstand these blows. She was frowning now, even in her dreams. His heart ached for her as he reached out carefully, lightly smoothing the creases on her brows.
He picked up her hand and kissed it lightly, sighing. “What should I do with you?”
He knew that pregnancy was tough for her, so all he could do was to look after her.
She needed more sleep, but ever since she came to Country X, she had never really rested well. He was not doing his job well recently.
