Chapter 458 - 389: Bai Yue! You’ve Been Exposed

Hearing this from Bai Yue, Qiu Yue didn’t think much of it and just said, "Don’t go running wild outside! And remember, we’re having roast duck at Quanjude tomorrow night! You’re the guest of honor!"

Bai Yue nodded repeatedly, drawing out her words. "I knooow~"

Bai Jun was about to speak but was distracted by Bai Yang and Bai Shu coming in from the balcony.

"Jun-Jun! I’ve got a lead on a job for you!" Bai Yang said, waving the phone in his hand. "Put together a résumé and send it to me. I’ll forward it to a classmate of mine! His company happens to have a subway project in Jiangcheng!"

In that moment, Bai Jun forgot all about teasing Bai Yue. He said excitedly, "Second Uncle! Hold on, I’ll send it over from my computer right now."

With that, he grabbed his nearby backpack, pulled out his laptop, and skillfully started working on it.

Just then, Bai Yue’s phone vibrated. She snuck a peek and saw it was a call from Wu Yun. She quickly announced, "Mom, my friend is calling for me!"

She then dashed into her room, grabbed a shoulder bag, and slung it across her body. Then, she bolted to the door to change her shoes.

A moment later, the front door opened and then shut again.

Bai Yang was a little confused and asked, "What’s Yueyue up to?"

"She said she’s having dinner and seeing a movie with a friend tonight and won’t be back!"

"Second Uncle, I sent it to your WeChat!" Bai Jun’s excited voice interrupted what Bai Yang was about to say.

Bai Yang nodded, forwarded the résumé from WeChat to his classmate, and then stood on the balcony to call him.

Since the balcony faced the public road, Bai Yang had a clear view of what was happening outside.

While Bai Yang was on the phone, he saw a familiar figure jogging out of the community gate.

He watched as Bai Yue stood by the roadside, looked both ways for traffic, and then ran forward with open arms, leaping and clinging to a young man like an octopus.

"Thanks, old friend! I’m in Jiangcheng on a business trip, I’ll have to buy you a drink! HAHAHA! All right, I won’t keep you!"

Bai Yang hung up and quickly waved toward the living room. "Come here, quick! Come see Yueyue’s boyfriend!"

The few people chatting in the living room immediately swarmed onto the balcony. Qiu Yue, her face alight with excitement, asked, "Where? Where?!"

Just then, the group saw the young man, who had spun Bai Yue around a few times, gently put her down. He naturally took her hand and led her to a black Mercedes-Benz parked nearby.

Only then did they notice a van in front of the Mercedes, with several large men standing guard around the two vehicles.

Unfortunately, because of the distance from the balcony to the other side of the road, no one got a clear look at the young man who had come to pick up Bai Yue.

After the two vehicles below drove away, everyone on the balcony, except for Bai Yang, began to excitedly discuss Bai Yue’s boyfriend.

"Honey!"

"Honey!"

"Honey!" Qiu Yue, sitting on the sofa, called out three times with no response from Bai Yang. Finally, she shouted, "Bai Yang!"

That shout snapped Bai Yang out of his daze.

"Honey, what are you thinking about? If you want to see what the young man looks like, we can just have Yueyue bring him over tomorrow!" Although Qiu Yue spoke casually, a hint of worry was plain on her face. "That young man’s family must be something else! He goes out with bodyguards, and some of them are even foreigners! Will Yueyue get pushed around if she’s with him? Is he just playing around with her?"

Bai Yang was currently filled with doubt. Those foreigners looked very familiar to him, but he couldn’t be entirely sure.

"It really is Wu Yun!" Bai Jun muttered to himself.

"Wu Yun? Are you saying the one who just picked up Yueyue was Wu Yun?!" Qiu Yue’s voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Bai Jun froze. Realizing he’d accidentally let Bai Yue’s secret slip, he quickly tried to cover his tracks. "I just said there are dark clouds over there!"

The family looked at the sky where Bai Jun was pointing. It was clear and vast. His excuse was obviously unconvincing.

Lin Xiaohong twisted Bai Jun’s ear. "Are you trying to be sneaky? Did Yueyue show you a picture of her boyfriend? Spill the beans!"

"OW, ow, ow! Mom, let go! I’ll talk!" Bai Jun cried out, craning his neck and standing on his tiptoes.

Bai Jun sat on a small stool, looking at the four people on the sofa staring at him. It felt like a public interrogation.

"Mom! Second Aunt! Today, I asked Bai Yue to show me a picture of her boyfriend! I thought she just found a picture of Wu Yun online to fool me! So I didn’t believe her at the time!"

Since the cat was out of the bag, Bai Jun didn’t hide his excitement. "They say online that Wu Yun has four foreign bodyguards and one Huaxia bodyguard. I saw three foreign bodyguards just now, so I’m guessing the person who picked up Bai Yue was very likely Wu Yun!"

Lin Xiaohong frowned. "That’s just your guess. What if it’s just a coincidence?"

"Mom! I’m ninety percent sure it’s him!" Bai Jun argued, but he couldn’t find a good reason to back it up.

At this point, Bai Yang, who had been silent, sighed. "I think it’s Wu Yun too. I thought the builds of those foreigners looked familiar, and since I just dealt with Wu Yun a few days ago, I was a bit hesitant to say for sure."

"Besides, from what I understand, Wu Yun also went to school in Jingyang, so there’s a good chance he was Yueyue’s high school classmate."

"But if that’s the case, it would explain the biggest question I’ve had on my mind!"

Hearing Bai Yang say this, Qiu Yue instantly understood the incident a few days ago when Bai Yang had his moment of triumph at the company.

At the time, she was just happy that a bonus of several million had seemingly fallen from the sky!

"Are you saying... Wu Yun approached you because of Yueyue?" Qiu Yue asked, a little uncertain.

Bai Yang nodded, then shook his head. "When my old upperclassman introduced me to the Jinshan Environment project, he definitely didn’t know that Wu Yun knew me!"

Suddenly, Bai Yang slapped his thigh. "Oh! I remember now! During our first banquet for the client, Wu Yun specifically recorded a video, saying he was reporting his work to his girlfriend!"

Hearing Bai Yang’s words, Bai Jun, still on his little stool, lowered his head, his body trembling. It took him a while to calm down.

"Unbelievable! So Yueyue knew about this the whole time! Siding with an outsider already, is she? Our little girl is keeping secrets from us now!"

Fortunately, Bai Yang had been hustling in the outside world for years and was as thick-skinned as they come. Although the thought was a bit embarrassing, he quickly composed himself.

Just then, Bai Shu asked, "Second Brother, what’s this Wu Yun’s character like?"

Bai Yang frowned in thought for a moment before replying, "I haven’t had much contact with him, but my impression is that he lacks the brashness typical of his age. He’s very composed."

"So rich, yet not arrogant or domineering! And not too high-profile! That’s really rare. But he’s so young, and on top of that, he and Yueyue are long-distance! I’m really worried Wu Yun won’t be able to resist the temptations out there!"

"You and I both know that many rich men don’t just have one woman! I’m afraid Yueyue will get hurt in the future!"

Hearing this, Qiu Yue immediately reached for her phone on the coffee table, but Bai Yang grabbed her wrist. "Don’t call Yueyue right now! We’ll have her bring Wu Yun over for dinner tomorrow. Let’s not disturb the two young people for now!"

"Even if you called now, you couldn’t change what might have already happened!" Bai Yang was no old fossil; he knew full well how open young people are these days.

Qiu Yue said, a little unhappily, "I was just going to test the waters, not do anything rash! Even if I wanted to object, I’d have to meet that Wu Yun first!"

An idea popped into Bai Jun’s head. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt! I can call and test the waters for you! And give Bai Yue a heads-up at the same time!"

"Fine! You make the call!"

Bai Jun excitedly took out his phone, dialed Bai Yue’s number, and put it on speaker.

After two rings, Bai Yue’s voice came through. "What’s up!"

"Hehehe! Bai Yue! The cat’s out of the bag! Second Uncle and Second Aunt saw you get into the car from the balcony just now! The black Mercedes!"
