Chapter 23: Want to be her sister-in-law? But she won’t have a sister-in-law in this life.

In her memory, Bai Chan rarely said no to her.

Sure enough, she had climbed the high branch of the Miss of Meng Yan Group, and she had the confidence.

Bai Sitong smiled: “You wouldn’t want me to post those photos on the streets of Lincheng, would you?”

The blood drained from Bai Chan’s face.

Her pale lips moved for a while, but she still refused in a trembling voice: “Wh-whatever you want.”

Bai Sitong frowned slightly, she didn’t have much patience for Bai Chan.

But thinking of Ninth Master…

She patiently continued: “What about your mother? You don’t care about her either? We’re going to take your mother back to the Bai family soon, how your mother lives in the future is all in your hands.”

Bai Chan swayed, and after a while, she hissed: “Even if you kill us, mother and daughter, I won’t do anything to harm the Miss.”

“Tsk—”

Bai Sitong couldn’t help but laugh.

She looked at Bai Chan like she was an idiot, reached out and touched Bai Chan’s head, “What are you thinking? My dear sister. Just ask yourself, who in Lincheng is bored enough to harm Ninth Master’s beloved? I just want to be friends with the Miss… and talk about the marriage between the Bai family and the Yan family.”

The Bai family, marrying the Yan family?

Bai Chan’s eyes widened in shock.

She, she had her eyes on Ninth Master?

“The Bai family is considered a prominent family in Lincheng, but Ninth Master started from scratch, alone, without any family support. If our two families marry, it will be a strong alliance, mutually beneficial.” Bai Sitong smiled, “Besides, your Miss is deeply in love with a man, but Ninth Master broke them up. If I can talk to Ninth Master, maybe I can intercede for your Miss and make Ninth Master change his mind and accept that poor son-in-law?”

As a member of Lincheng University, and in the same year as Meng Mingxuan, Bai Chan had witnessed the romantic love between Meng Mingxuan and Yin Ting.

She was even present at their graduation proposal.

She had seen Meng Mingxuan’s sweet smile.

However…

“This is between the Miss and Ninth Master, you don’t need to interfere as an outsider.”

“You’re really clueless, Xiao Chan.” Bai Sitong saw that Bai Chan wouldn’t budge, and she didn’t get angry like she used to, punishing Bai Chan.

She just patted Bai Chan’s cheek: “Since you won’t go with me to see the Miss, then I’ll go alone – I believe that with your sister’s identity, the Miss will definitely see me.”

After saying that, Bai Sitong turned and left.

“Don’t!” Bai Chan hurriedly went after her, “I’ll go with you!”

If Bai Sitong insisted on seeing the Miss, she would rather go with her.

To prevent Bai Sitong from deceiving the Miss behind her back and harming her.

…

Meng Mingxuan took a nap.

It wasn’t a peaceful sleep.

It was full of lonely and dark dreams.

She woke up after less than an hour, got up, took out her phone, found Yan Mo Jiu’s WeChat, opened the chat box and looked at it for a long time.

It was all the messages she had exchanged with Yan Mo Jiu in the past few days.

Every message had a response.

Meng Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that her depression probably hadn’t completely healed yet.

She often felt anxious and uneasy.

But she didn’t want to see a doctor.

That way, she couldn’t explain it to Yan Mo Jiu.

Anyway… as long as she stayed by Yan Mo Jiu’s side, she would slowly recover.

Because she was very happy now.

Meng Mingxuan got out of bed, changed out of her slightly sweaty pajamas, rinsed her mouth, and went downstairs…

After making the decision to go to Kyoto in a week, Yan Mo Jiu began to arrange the affairs of Meng Yan Group.

Meng Mingxuan didn’t go to Meng Yan Group anymore, she was afraid of disturbing Yan Mo Jiu’s work.

With nothing to do, she slowly packed the things she wanted to take to Kyoto and put them in her suitcase.

When she saw the 60-centimeter limited edition pink teddy bear on the bed, she was slightly stunned.

In her previous life, she had insomnia and headaches to the point where she wanted to bang her head against the wall, and her good mother-in-law in her previous life helped her get it back to the villa and put it in front of her, and she had been sleeping with the teddy bear ever since.

This teddy bear was a birthday present Yan Mo Jiu gave her on her 15th birthday.

At that time, Yan Mo Jiu was going on a trip, and because her birthday was coming up soon, he postponed his departure until the day after her birthday.

“When Ninth Brother is not home, let the teddy bear keep Mingxuan company.”

When she received the teddy bear, she actually saw five words he had personally written on the back of the teddy bear, made into a label and stuck on the teddy bear.

[Temporary Companion Bear]

It seemed to mean that only when he was not home could this teddy bear temporarily keep her company.

Meng Mingxuan thought about it and couldn’t help but laugh.

She couldn’t bear to throw it away.

Because it was a gift from Ninth Brother.

But this teddy bear had witnessed so many sleepless nights in her previous life, before she completely let go of her previous life, she had to hide it first.

Meng Mingxuan picked up the teddy bear and put it in the corner of the closet.

This was her and Ninth Brother’s old home, she hoped that one day, when she and Ninth Brother were old, they could come back here and find some childhood memories.

The phone on the sofa rang.

Meng Mingxuan immediately walked over quickly, afraid that it was Yan Mo Jiu calling.

She picked up the phone and saw that it was an unknown number.

“Hello, this is Meng Mingxuan.” She answered the phone.

“Xuanxuan, you blocked my phone and WeChat?”

Yin Ting’s hoarse and painful voice came through.

Meng Mingxuan had indeed blocked all of Yin Ting’s contact information, but she also guessed that Yin Ting would find a way to contact her.

She didn’t plan to change her number.

She wouldn’t run away, she would fight back.

She would completely remove Yin Ting from her heart through repeated counterattacks.

Without leaving a trace.

“Yes, we don’t need to contact each other anymore.”

“Why? Xuanxuan, you clearly… promised to marry me, we agreed to grow old together, so many people witnessed our vows…”

Meng Mingxuan listened quietly to Yin Ting’s choked confession.

Although she knew that the man on the phone was lying to her, she didn’t feel angry at all.

She just felt that Yin Ting would be a pity if he didn’t become an actor.

“I’m leaving Lincheng.”

“Everything I said before doesn’t count anymore.”

Meng Mingxuan gave him a decisive answer when Yin Ting started crying.

Leaving Lincheng?

Yin Ting immediately sat up straight from the sofa.

“Xuanxuan, where are you going?”

Meng Mingxuan’s tone was indifferent: “It’s none of your business.”

Yin Ting thought of a possibility: “Is it Ninth Master’s decision? Ninth Master not only wants to break us up, but also wants to send you away?”

“I said, it’s none of your business. Don’t call again.”

Meng Mingxuan hung up the phone.

She blocked him and dealt with it.

She sat on the sofa, thinking about Yin Ting’s actions in her previous life…

The kitchen was simple, with some food prepared.

Since only Meng Mingxuan and Yan Mo Jiu were left in the Yan family, the villa was no longer allowed to be entered by servants or bodyguards.

Although Yan Mo Jiu doted on Meng Mingxuan, he also valued her ability development.

Lincheng University was where she got in on her own, and in terms of housework, she could also cook a few simple dishes.

Yan Mo Jiu didn’t want her to lose her basic life skills when he wasn’t around.

Meng Mingxuan sat at the dining table, eating and looking at the messages in the WeChat group.

Until, Bai Chan sent a message.

[Miss, my sister insisted on coming with me to thank you in person. If I didn’t bring her, she would come alone. She seems to… want to marry Mr. Yan.]

Bai Chan’s sister?

Oh, the one called Bai Sitong.

Bai Sitong wants to marry her Ninth Brother?

She’s got a big head.

Meng Mingxuan, who knew Bai Chan’s situation, replied: [It’s okay, bring her over.]

Bai Chan, who was sneaking messages to Meng Mingxuan under the pretext of going to the bathroom, was relieved to see Meng Mingxuan’s reply.

She was worried about Bai Sitong going to see the Miss alone, and also worried that the Miss would misunderstand if she went with Bai Sitong.

So she decided to report the situation to the Miss first.

This way, the Miss wouldn’t misunderstand her.

Bai Chan deleted the previous few messages, left the bathroom, and returned to Bai Sitong’s car.

“Let’s go.”

“Give me your phone.”

Bai Sitong smiled and stretched out her hand to Bai Chan.

Bai Chan’s eyelids twitched, sure enough…

Before Bai Chan could refuse, Bai Sitong took her phone out of her canvas bag.

“How did you know my…” Bai Chan watched helplessly as Bai Sitong unlocked her phone.

“Isn’t it your crush’s birthday? Many people know.”

Bai Chan was first shocked, then as if she thought of something, her face turned pale.

The matter of her crush, only her crush… accidentally picked up her diary and knew about her girlish heart.

But she hadn’t written in her diary since then.

She even burned that diary.

Could it be… could it be…

Bai Chan clenched her fingers, her knuckles turned white.

Bai Sitong checked Bai Chan’s chat history with Meng Mingxuan, and also looked at Bai Chan’s call history, confirming that Bai Chan hadn’t contacted Meng Mingxuan, before returning the phone to Bai Chan.

“Drive.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The Bai family driver immediately started the car.

Half an hour later.

Bai Sitong, with Bai Chan’s arm in hers, walked into the villa under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards at the door.

“Miss, this is a small token of our appreciation, I hope you don’t dislike it.”

Arriving in the living room, Bai Sitong let go of Bai Chan’s hand and presented the gift bag to Meng Mingxuan with both hands.

Meng Mingxuan glanced at the coffee table: “Sister Bai, you’re too kind, just put it on the coffee table.”

As she spoke, she beckoned to Bai Chan: “Idol, come and sit here.”

The word “Sister Bai” calmed Bai Sitong’s heart a little.

Sure enough, Meng Mingxuan gave Bai Chan face, she had taken the right step.

After Bai Chan sat down next to Meng Mingxuan, Meng Mingxuan started chatting with Bai Chan.

They were both alumni, and Bai Chan was interning at Meng Yan Group, so they had a lot in common.

Bai Sitong didn’t rush to interrupt, she smiled and listened to the two girls chat.

Until, Meng Mingxuan brought the topic to Yan Mo Jiu.

Bai Sitong seized the opportunity and interjected: “Miss, Ninth Master is 26 this year, right?”

Meng Mingxuan turned and smiled: “Yes.”

“There are many young ladies in Lincheng who want to marry Ninth Master, to be your sister-in-law.”

Sister-in-law?

Meng Mingxuan remembered that year, when she was 18, Yan Mo Jiu sat on a reclining chair in the park on a rainy night, his hands mixed with rain and blood, shattered to the core.

He didn’t cry.

But she felt like she saw his tears.

He didn’t make a sound.

But she felt like she heard his cries.

All these years, she hadn’t asked.

She didn’t dare to bring up that night.

She thought, she would never have a sister-in-law in this life.

Meng Mingxuan came out of her memories and chuckled: “Does Sister Bai want to be one?”
