4657 Never Too Late to Love (64)
After work, Gu Chengze came to pick up Bai Sheng as usual. The latter had also gradually gotten used to being dropped off and picked up by him.
At first, she was not used to having someone send her to the office and pick her up from work. But slowly,, she got used to seeing him at the office building entrance every day, the moment she got off work.
Bai Sheng bade farewell to Aifei and was walking towards Gu Chengze when her phone suddenly rang. Puzzled, she took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Ye Yuqin. She was a little puzzled.
Her aunt had ex-communicated her for some time now. But back then, it was Ye Yuqin who kicked her out of the Ye family. She thought that she and her aunt would gradually become strangers. Why did the woman call out of the blue? Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment but eventually answered the call as she walked towards the car.
!!
When Gu Chengze saw that she was on the phone, he walked over to the front passenger seat and opened the door for her.
Bai Sheng smiled and nodded. However, Ye Yuqin’s extremely cold voice could be heard coming through the phone.
“Bai Sheng, where are you?”
“I…” Bai Sheng took a deep breath and got into the car. She asked very calmly, “Auntie, what’s up?”
Bam! The car door was shut.
Ye Yuqin’s questioning voice came from the other end. “You’re in a car?”
“What’s the matter?”
“I heard the sound of a car door shutting.”
Ye Yuqin finally could not hold it in anymore, “Bai Sheng, what exactly do you want!? Huh? A girl staying out and not returning home for so many days, are you trying to rebel?”
“Home?” When Bai Sheng heard this, she laughed icily, “Has that ever been my home? I don’t think so!”
“Heh! You’ve grown up, haven’t you?! Do you think that just because you have a man to protect you now, you can simply ignore me and don’t care about me, your aunt! Bai Sheng, think about it carefully. Without me, would you have gone to university? Without me, would you have grown up in good health!?”
Bai Sheng was at a loss for words. Ultimately, Ye Yuqin meant that Bai Sheng ought to repay her kindness! The girl knew very well that Ye Yuqin had indeed been kind to her for raising her up, but she did not agree with the latter part of her argument!
“Auntie, I’m really glad that I grew up in good health. Otherwise, if I had been sickly, you would have abandoned me and let me fend for myself!”
Ever since she was young, although she was not exceptionally healthy, she rarely went to the hospital. Most of the minor illnesses and pains were treated at home. She had never been seriously ill, so there was little to worry about.
However, Bai Sheng’s feelings towards Ye Yuqin were complex. She was very grateful to Ye Yuqin for raising her, but at the same time, she knew very well that Ye Yuqing had her own selfish motives in doing that! And she clearly knew what the woman’s motives were!
Ye Yuqin often urged her to go on blind dates because she wanted to use the girl to secure a marital home for her son. Bai Sheng’s heart had turned cold. Had it been in the past, she would have been grateful to Ye Yuqin. But now, because of what had happened, she felt no gratitude at all!
“Auntie, why exactly are you calling me? Why don’t you just tell me?! We don’t have to beat around the bush!”
On the other end, Ye Yuqin’s voice was equally impolite. “I’m giving you an order, Bai Sheng, if you know what’s good for you, quickly divorce that man! Do you think marriage is child’s play? Do you think you can get married just because you want to?”
