Chapter 1811 - 1810: Why Not Be With Me
Chapter 1811: Chapter 1810: Why Not Be With Me
Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed slightly.
Xiao Yuting glanced at the steak in front of her, "Eat first, I know what you can’t figure out."
Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together, lowered her eyes, and picked up her knife and fork.
Xiao Yuting watched Bai Xiaoxiao pick up her utensils and smiled with satisfaction, "Xu Wanfei is definitely acting under Xu Wanqi’s instructions, but what Xu Wanqi is doing doesn’t benefit her at all."
"But Xiaoxiao, you’re missing something."
"What?"
Bai lifted her eyes to look at him, her knife still resting on the steak.
Xiao Yuting also picked up his knife and said casually, "Xu Wanqi is madly in love with Meng Ke, but Meng Ke doesn’t like her. The only way she can stay by his side is to please Meng Ke."
A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
She couldn’t understand Xu Wanqi’s kind of love for Meng Ke.
More accurately, she couldn’t understand Xu Wanqi’s understanding of love. If you love a man, shouldn’t you try hard to be with him and make him fall for you?
Why would she help him get other women around him?
Does Xu Wanqi not care about the man she loves being with other women?
If that’s really the case, then Xu Wanqi is just a madwoman.
"Actually, I don’t think Meng Ke genuinely loves you either; he wasn’t even as honest as I was initially."
Xiao Yuting surprisingly brought up his own past folly to make Bai Xiaoxiao see through Meng Ke.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Bai Xiaoxiao’s lips as she listened to Xiao Yuting say, "If he truly loved you, he wouldn’t be entangled with Xu Wanqi. He wants to keep you while being tangled with Xu Wanqi, merely because of your family background and connections."
Bai Xiaoxiao put a small piece of the cut steak into her mouth, contemplating Xiao Yuting’s words.
His words were not without reason.
"So the answer is quite simple; Xu Wanqi’s background doesn’t match Meng Ke, and she’s destined to be a mistress who can’t see the light of day for a lifetime, a status that she still needs to pay a price to attain."
"How much did Xu Wanfei promise you?"
Bai Xiaoxiao asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuting thought for a moment, "If I agree to her conditions, she will tell me everything."
He has had plenty of experience with women over the years.
Regarding dealing with women, Xiao Yuting actually understands quite well.
The only one who frustrates him is Bai Xiaoxiao.
Tell everything without reservation?
Bai Xiaoxiao realized deeply that Xu Wanfei knew a lot, which is why she dared to make such conditions with Xiao Yuting.
"Don’t forget, she has a history of mental illness. Her words can’t be taken as evidence."
Bai Xiaoxiao reminded Xiao Yuting, hoping he wouldn’t agree to Xu Wanfei’s terms for her sake.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t want to owe Xiao Yuting anything.
"I actually think Xu Wanfei’s mental illness history is fake."
"Her mental illness didn’t start now. Hasn’t it been two or three years?" Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yuting with confusion.
Xiao Yuting laughed meaningfully, "According to my investigation, Xu Wanfei has been doing worse each year. The men she encounters are less satisfactory one after the other. Yet, she’s always been normal, and there has been no news of her having any outbreaks."
"Most importantly, the last time she went to my company for an interview, she wasn’t dressed as luxuriously or elegantly as now."
Last time, when Xu Wanfei went to his company for an interview, she was just wearing normal office attire, and the jewelry she wore was given by him previously.
Xu Wanfei is just an office worker, not some elite figure, her salary surely couldn’t be too high.
Yet, the jewelry she wears now is all luxurious.
Although they can’t compare with the likes of Bai Xiaoxiao’s as a rich heiress, for Xu Wanfei, it’s already abnormal.
Also, after she was fired from the magazine, she didn’t find another job, so how could she have the money to be extravagant?
"You really do understand women; I didn’t even notice these things."
"Xiaoxiao, are you complimenting me or criticizing me?"
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Of course, I’m complimenting you, I’m serious, I didn’t even find anything unusual about Xu Wanfei wearing designer brands."
"It’s very unusual. The necklace on Xu Wanfei’s neck now is worth no less than 500,000."
"What do you mean?"
Bai Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in shock, why did things seem to get more and more complicated?
Xiao Yuting chuckled lightly, "Officer Lu told me that during their investigation of Xu Wanfei, they found out she went to M country earlier this year."
"..."
"It’s Xu Wanfei’s first time going to M country; it’s still unknown exactly where she has been."
"But what Xu Wanfei knows might be much more than we imagined."
Bai Xiaoxiao felt the piece of steak she just ate lost its flavor.
Xiao Yuting mentioning M country reminded him of Qing Yang, who was still lying in a hospital coma.
"But, Xu Wanfei only said she went to M country for a trip, with no evidence, there’s nothing we can do."
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a little irritated.
She picked up the drink beside her, took a sip, and fixed her gaze on Xiao Yuting, "So, what’s your plan for bringing me out tonight?"
"Of course, I want to help you."
Xiao Yuting smiled innocently.
"..."
Xiao Yuting took a bite of his steak, chewed carefully, and swallowed, before saying seriously, "I’ve thought it over. As long as I agree to Xu Wanfei’s conditions, she’ll spill everything she knows."
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed slightly, "You’re going to agree to be with her?"
Xiao Yuting smiled without speaking.
Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, "Xiao Yuting, you don’t need to do that."
She knew Xiao Yuting liked her, and he was doing this to help her.
Although he also very much hoped Xu Wanfei would tell the truth so that the person who hurt her mother would get the punishment they deserved.
However, Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t willing to let Xiao Yuting become an untrustworthy man because of her.
Xiao Yuting used to be wild, but over the past three years, he had changed. Now he was a company manager, no longer the playboy he used to be.
He should have his own integrity.
"It’s okay, my reputation is bad anyway, and besides, this way, I’m also helping Xu Wanfei."
"When Xu Wanfei finds out you tricked her, she’ll hate you."
"It’s not like I haven’t been hated by women before. As long as we can find out who truly hurt Aunt earlier, I don’t mind being a liar this once."
Xiao Yuting genuinely wanted to do something for Bai Xiaoxiao.
Besides liking her, he also had some guilt for hurting her before.
But he never had the chance to make it up, as Bai Xiaoxiao also didn’t give him the chance.
"Xiao Yuting..."
Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but Xiao Yuting smiled and cut her off, half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Xiaoxiao, if you’re really thankful, why not break up with Luo Haofeng and be with me."
"..."
Bai Xiaoxiao’s words got stuck in her throat and she was speechless for a moment.
But Xiao Yuting was in a great mood, "Xiaoxiao, I mean it, I can guarantee that being with me would make Aunt much happier and more at ease than being with Luo Haofeng or Meng Ke."
