No one could tell what was on her mind.
Su Yue thought to herself. ‘Judging from her third sister-in-law’s expression, she should still be in the dark. She still doesn’t know that Bai Jing was secretly in love with Third Brother and even hatched a scheme to sleep with him. And she almost succeeded…’
But Third sister-in-law sounded so cold and aloof when she mentioned about Bai Jing.
In the past, Xuxu cared and doted on Bai Jing.
Seeing how Su Yue sat there looking as though she was lost in thought, Xuxu gently prodded her head with a grin. “Lass, what’s on your mind?”
With her head tilted, she gazed quietly at Su Yue.
Su Yue met Xuxu’s eyes and she stowed away her thoughts. She smiled quietly.
Then she glanced at Yan Rusheng. “Third Brother arranged for Bai Jing to study in Country M right? Which university was that?”
Not only did Wen Xuxu become wary when Su Yue was trying to ask about Bai Jing’s whereabouts, the rest of them became alert too.
Yan Rusheng glanced at Su Yue with a fleeting look of heightened caution. “Why do you ask?”
He remained nonchalant and unruffled.
Su Yue pouted. “I’m just asking. I wonder if she is still using the same QQ account.”
She had a sudden whim to contact Bai Jing. It had been so many years and she suddenly missed her.
Xuxu seemed to read Su Yue’s mind and she interrupted. “You should settle the paperwork for Xiaojiao’s school first.”
She succeeded in steering Su Yue’s thoughts away. She glanced at Xuxu. “I thought we have decided on the school?”
She turned to Ming Ansheng.
Ming Ansheng naturally knew that Wen Xuxu was diverting Su Yue’s attention. He smiled at Su Yue. “Yeah, it’s settled. It’s the same school as Wenxin and the rest. Tomorrow I’ll bring you there.”
Su Yue nodded. “Okay.”
“Let’s eat.” Ming Ansheng smiled and took a sip of water.
His eyebrows were furrowed tightly and he looked worried.
After dinner, everyone went back home with their wives.
It was after peak hour and the roads were clear. The car window was slightly rolled down and a cool breeze entered the car.
It was comfortable and cool.
Wen Xuxu sat in the front passenger seat, looking somber and thoughtful.
The car was dead quiet and only their breathing could be heard.
“She would know the truth sooner or later. Why are you so worried?” Yan Rusheng kept stealing glances at Xuxu and he finally blurted out.
He knew what was on Xuxu’s mind since her troubles and worries were written all over her face.
Xuxu turned and looked down at her hands. She sighed quietly to herself and answered, “I’m afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take it. She might be badly affected.”
She had always placed Su Yue’s happiness as a top priority and always treated her like a little girl. Xuxu just couldn’t stop worrying about her. Yan Rusheng watched her helplessly and quipped, “Xuxu, you should believe that she could do it.”
She would have to face the fact one day. In the past, she was too young and too fragile to accept the truth. They were all afraid that she would take it badly. But after all these years, she had matured and became more resilient.
It was a secret that concerned her. She had the right to know the truth one day.
But he knew Xuxu’s concerns and worries. So he had always respected and supported her decisions.
If she really felt that hiding the truth from Su Yue would act in her best interests, he wouldn’t interfere.
