Mei Liuli said, "Don't be so angry. Mom will have someone investigate this woman to see who she is."
"No need to investigate, I know who she is. I've seen her! I heard from her sister that she is not a good person. She has had a messy private life since she was a child and has many boyfriends. Not only has she been messing around outside since she was a child, but she also got pregnant and gave birth to a child at the age of 18."
Mei Liuli was even more shocked. "The president is interested in a woman like this? This is ridiculous!"
"Why don't you like it? You've been through it all, don't you understand men? It used to be said that women don't love bad men, but now it's the other way around! Men don't love bad women!"
"I never realized he was such a superficial person before." Mei Liuli said, "Looks like I need to discuss this with your father. I'll take a long-term view of your marriage."
"Mom, don't go look for my dad. What's the point of taking the long view?" Song Weiyi pulled Mei Liuli, "Don't you know my dad? He has long wanted to exchange my marriage for political power. There is no way he would let me not marry him. Besides... if I don't marry him, wouldn't that just fit that woman's mind? Maybe these photos were taken by that woman and sent to me! The more she acts like this, the more I want to marry her! And I have to make her look good!"
Song Weiyi's eyes turned fierce as she finished speaking. She was a rich lady, and from childhood to adulthood, everyone obeyed her in everything. Now she was being declared war on by a commoner's daughter, who was pregnant and had given birth to a child. How could she swallow this
"Weiyi, what do you want to do?"
"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. I'll let her know the consequences of daring to snatch a man from me, Song Weiyi!"
Mei Liuli agreed with her daughter's approach, but still reminded her: "It's a good thing to teach her a lesson, so that she won't become ignorant of the world. But I have to say first, don't let anyone get killed. No matter what your father is, he's the vice president. Be careful if something really happens, or he will kill you for the sake of justice!"
"Mom, you're here again. How could I possibly take her life?" She wouldn't let Xia Xingchen die, but she would make her life a living hell!
… … … …
Xia Dabai's body had not fully recovered yet. After drinking the medicine, he continued to sleep.
Bai Suye and Xia Xingchen said, "It's rare for us to meet each other, let's go downstairs and chat."
Xia Xingchen nodded and tucked the child in before going downstairs. When she got downstairs, Bai Suye was sitting in the arcade beside the fountain, under the white Roman columns. She sat there in a graceful figure, just like Bai Yeqing, doing nothing, just a beautiful scenery.
Xia Xingchen could probably guess what Bai Suye wanted to talk to him about. To be honest, apart from topics related to Bai Yeqing, there was probably nothing else for them to talk about.
She walked over slowly, Bai Suye smiled slightly and said, "Sit down."
Xia Xingchen sat down as she was told. She didn't say anything first, just sat there facing the cool breeze. The servant silently put a cloak on her, and she turned aside to say thank you.
Bai Suye looked at him, took a sip of coffee, and then said slowly, "It must have been difficult to raise a child alone in the past few years, right?"
"It's actually okay. I'm quite satisfied." She knew what she had suffered, and she wasn't someone who would talk about it all the time. No matter what she had experienced in the past, it was over. Now she was fine, and Dabai was fine too. As long as Bai Yeqing was willing to return the child to her, there was nothing to complain about.
"Are you used to living here?" Bai Suye asked again.
Xia Xingchen smiled slightly, "I have already found a house and moved out. But this time something happened to the child, so I promised him that I would let the child live here, just in case anything else happens."
"Moved out?" Bai Suye seemed a little surprised and looked at Xia Xingchen for a few more times. "Excuse me, if other women could live here, they would feel very honored and I'm afraid no one would want to move out."
Xia Xingchen stopped talking.
Bai Suye put down the coffee cup and suddenly asked, "You know that Ye Qing and Song Weiyi are getting engaged, right?"
This topic was not new at all, but when Xia Xingchen heard it again, her heart still tightened and she felt a slight pain. After a long while, she raised her eyes and nodded, "I've heard about it..."
"what do you think?"
"Me?" Xia Xingchen smiled bitterly, "This is all Mr. President's own business, what can I think about it?"
Bai Suye's eyes were deep, and women were always more attentive than men. Her eyes seemed to penetrate Xia Xingchen's eyes and reach her heart. Xia Xingchen's hand holding the cup tightened slightly, but she only heard Bai Suye finally speak: "Ye Qing allowed you to live here and even wanted to bring you to his parents. I believe that you must mean something different to him. It's just that... for people like us, marriage and love are never the same thing. Love can be decided by oneself, but marriage is often out of one's control."
Bai Suye's voice was very pleasant, like silky clouds. However, Xia Xingchen only felt a slight pain when hearing it.
"After my father and the current Vice President Song's brother lost the presidential election by a few votes, our Bai family was framed by various scandals, which directly led to the tragic death of my uncle, and my third uncle is still in prison. Now Ye Qing is trying his best to help his third uncle clear his name, but there are so many details involved, and we still need to rely on the old members of the House of Representatives to barely move forward smoothly. If Song Guoyao can help us, things will go more smoothly. Ye Qing is now in this position. It seems that he can call the wind and rain and has unlimited glory, but the so-called high place is lonely. Behind the scenes, how many eyes are watching, how many people are waiting for him to make mistakes, waiting for him to fall, and then give him a head-on blow. This is something you can't imagine, and the consequences... are even more unimaginable for us."
Xia Xingchen listened, and for a moment he couldn't tell what he felt. This was probably politics, this was power politics. Although there weren't bullets and gunfire everywhere, the traps around him were even more frightening than bullets and gunfire. The last time he was attacked by terrorists in Baiyu Palace, he was so badly injured. If he had been a little careless, he might have been dead.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingchen couldn't help but shudder. People who are said to be walking on the edge of a knife are probably people like them.
However, he never brought this sense of danger to her and the child.
Bai Suye looked at her reaction and smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry too much about him. We have been through this for these years, and we are more or less used to it. The reason why I told you so much is just to remind you to get out of it as soon as possible. It is definitely not a bad thing for you or him - I am worried that one day he will really be unable to extricate himself from you, and it will bring unnecessary trouble to himself. The strong do not need and cannot have weaknesses."
