Chapter 2299: One-Night Stand Shen (83)

Baibai’s mother died from massive bleeding triggered by an allergic reaction.

And Baibai’s mother knew perfectly well what she was allergic to; there was no way she would go near that thing when she was about to give birth.

So there’s only one possibility: she touched it by mistake.

And the other party was very skillful.

On this point, only someone from the Ye Family could have pulled it off.

He remembered back then, Ye Fan had stopped at nothing to compete with him for the Family Head position.

So this time, Ye Fan couldn’t be uninvolved either; it was all to prevent him from having a son.

Because according to the Ye Family’s traditions and rules, if he had no son under his knee, then the Family Head position would eventually pass to his younger brother.

If Ye Bai turned out to be a daughter, then the future Family Head would be Ye Fan.

With Ye Fan calculating like that, he couldn’t find any evidence and had no way to deal with him, but there was one thing he could not allow: that Family Head position must never fall into Ye Fan’s hands.

Otherwise Baibai’s mother would have died for nothing.

Looking at Ye Bai, he thought of her mother again!

After a long time, he finally drew a deep breath and still asked, "Baibai, what do you think of Chu He?"

Ye Bai turned back to look at her father. "Him?"

Ye Ming nodded.

Ye Bai shook her head. "Not much."

Ye Ming didn’t ask further; he already had his answer in his heart.

Baibai didn’t like Chu He—honestly, he’d seen that clearly long ago.

Chu He had been by Baibai’s side for so long; you could only say, they just aren’t suited for each other anymore!

Looking at Ye Bai, he asked another question. "Has Shen You come back?"

Ye Bai looked at Ye Ming and shook her head without speaking.

Ye Ming, "..."

Could something really have happened to Shen You?

To him, that would be a blow too.

Ye Bai held Xiaojiu for a while, and only after he was sleeping soundly did she put him on the bed. She looked at Ye Ming. "I’m going out for a bit. If you need anything, contact me. Don’t tell anyone that I’ve been back."

Ye Ming looked at her. "Baibai, what are you going to do?"

Ye Bai didn’t answer.

Ye Ming watched her, as if he’d already read her completely and clearly. "You’re going to look for Shen You?"

Ye Bai nodded. "He did it to save me."

Ye Ming listened and looked at Ye Bai, his feelings complicated.

Back then he’d borrowed a seed from Shen You; he had never imagined that one day Shen You would sacrifice himself to save Baibai.

If only he were still alive.

Actually, when he used it back then, he had already thought it through.

During Baibai’s tenure, she would be a man; when Xiaojiu grew a bit older, Xiaojiu would inherit the Family Head position, and after that she could live the life she liked, live like an ordinary person.

No matter what she wanted to do, he would support her—even if she wanted to find a husband.

Only now—

Ye Bai stood up and entered the hidden passage.

Right at the exit of the passage, she ran into Chu He.

Ye Bai froze.

Chu He looked at her; he hadn’t expected her to really come back.

He just stared at her like that, knowing that the person she was now was no longer the one she used to be.

Before, her eyes had been so clean there was nothing at all in them.

Now, there was too much in her eyes, far too much—things he couldn’t read and couldn’t control.

Ye Bai, "What are you doing here?"

Chu He, "I was afraid outsiders might break in."

Ye Bai, "..."

Outsiders?

She looked at Chu He. "From beginning to end, you’re the one who’s the outsider, aren’t you?"

Chu He looked at Ye Bai without a word. She had always been kind in this way—startling in one sentence, saying something that hurt.

Although he was long used to it, in that moment his mood still felt like it had dropped straight into the bottom of a pit!

Ye Bai looked at Chu He, thought of those things he’d said to Xiaojiu, and her face cooled. She spoke in a warning tone. "From now on, don’t talk nonsense in front of Xiaojiu."
