To He Feifei's surprise, Bai Wenxi didn't get angry. Instead, she still wore a smiling face.
"I've heard of you for a long time. My husband said you were his only confidant when he was down and out."
Seemingly caught off guard by Bai Wenxi's words, He Feifei's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly concealed her astonishment.
"Miss He, I specifically told the family to cook a few more dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste. Please don't mind." She personally placed the tableware in front of He Feifei.
Bai Wenxi's every move exuded the elegance of a refined young lady. She spoke unhurriedly, making people feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze.
Although Jiang Beihuai was happy to see He Feifei, he didn't want this girl to cause trouble.
It had taken him so much effort to open his heart to his wife and strengthen their relationship. He didn't want some meaningless jealousy among women to ruin this hard - won tenderness.
"Feifei, you can call her Sister Bai. My wife is only half a year older than you, but she's much more mature and sensible than you."
He deliberately emphasized that Bai Wenxi was his wife, hoping that He Feifei wouldn't say something rash and ruin his plan.
"Sister Bai, I may bother you. I just came to play with Brother Beihuai." He Feifei's words were ambiguous, not clarifying how many days she would stay.
Jiang Beihuai immediately added, "School will start in a couple of days, and then she'll go back."
Bai Wenxi watched the two of them acting in tandem without showing any emotion, still smiling, "Since you're old friends, why not stay for a few more days?"
"Beihuai, you should accompany Feifei well these days." She was quite hospitable. "I have some things to attend to on my side. Sorry, I won't be able to accompany you."
Jiang Beihuai quickly asked, not liking the feeling that Bai Wenxi was out of his control.
"What do you have to do? Is it about the art museum?" He kept prying. "Or did that Director Chen come to you?"
He Feifei couldn't stand seeing her childhood friend so flustered, "Miss Bai is a free person. Although she's married to you, she also has the right to her own activities!"
Bai Wenxi casually tucked her long hair behind her shoulders, thinking that Jiang Beihuai's concern was just for show. "There's an art exhibition in the art museum these days, so I'll be quite busy."
Jiang Beihuai breathed a sigh of relief. "Director Bai, so it's still about Starry. "
"Awen, you should also do things within your capacity. Don't overwork yourself. I saw your complexion was not good just now. I'm really worried."
"Beihuai, you're being too sensitive." Bai Wenxi was already suspicious of him, so she downplayed it. "I was so relaxed before, and suddenly getting busy, I'm a bit unaccustomed at first."
"I know my own physical condition. Don't worry."
He Feifei felt jealous when she saw the natural interaction between the couple. "Miss Bai, you're really beautiful."
She deliberately tilted her head and glanced at Jiang Beihuai. "I always feel that you look like someone."
Jiang Beihuai was angry. "Feifei!"
He Feifei pouted. "What's wrong? Can't I have a chat with Miss Bai since she's so gentle and amiable?"
Bai Wenxi's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. "Oh? Who do you think I look like?"
"Like a female star I used to like." He Feifei put her hands on the table, propping up her chin, looking innocent. "You look almost exactly the same."
Jiang Beihuai pursed his lips, and his face gradually darkened.
"Really?" Bai Wenxi was a bit disappointed, but she quickly continued the conversation. "Actually, my younger sister looks very much like me. She's also in the entertainment industry."
In fact, He Feifei didn't dare to really go against Jiang Beihuai. She was just annoyed that her childhood friend was so attached to wealth and status and had stayed in the Jiang family.
Hearing Bai Wenxi mention Bai Yunxi on her own initiative, she was also afraid of making Jiang Beihuai angry. "I'm not sure about that. I just think you look familiar, like the female lead in a TV drama I watched when I was a child."
Bai Wenxi seemed a bit dejected. "I see. I thought the female star you mentioned was my younger sister."
But she quickly became enthusiastic again. "I heard from Beihuai that I also look like his ex - girlfriend."
Bai Wenxi deliberately threw out a direct question to see her husband's reaction.
"You're so close to him. You must have met his ex - girlfriend."
Jiang Beihuai half - seriously and half - jokingly complained, "Awen, Feifei was the witness to my being dumped."
He frowned at Bai Wenxi. "It's so embarrassing for you to mention this in front of her."
Bai Wenxi finally stopped asking and just smiled, letting the matter pass.
The three of them had different thoughts during this meal. Jiang Beihuai didn't know why his wife was suddenly in a bad mood.
He speculated secretly, thinking that He Feifei's arrival had aroused her jealousy.
After taking a few mouthfuls, Bai Wenxi excused herself and went upstairs. "I'm full. You can take your time."
She pulled the curtains tightly and hid on the balcony to make a phone call.
"Ningmei, tell me the detention center where Yao Qingjia is being held." Bai Wenxi tightened her grip on the phone, and a bold plan began to brew in her mind.
"I've already sent a capable lawyer under my dad to handle this matter. You'd better not meet that disgusting man."
Su Yuning had a headache. She really didn't want her sister to have any kind of amorous relationship with the Yao family.
As for a scumbag like Yao Qingjia, just let him be punished by the law and rot in prison.
"Detective Min has met with me. I've got some information." Bai Wenxi remembered the stack of candid photos.
One of them showed Yao Qingjia accompanying Yao Chunmei having a dinner party with several men.
"I must meet him. There may be some inside information that I need to pry out of his mouth."
The scene of Yao Qingjia molesting her that day was still vivid in her mind. Whenever it was quiet at night, she would unconsciously twitch.
Remembering the fear of being pressed into the mud that day, Bai Wenxi trembled so much that she could hardly hold the phone.
Su Yuning understood the fear in her sister's voice. She comforted her lovingly, "I'll tell you. I definitely will."
"I'll go with you and the lawyer. By the way, do you want to take brother - in - law with us?"
"No!" Bai Wenxi flatly refused. "Please, don't tell him about this."
"Why?" Su Yuning had a good impression of Jiang Beihuai.
Since he had beaten Yao Qingjia crazily and carried her sister out of the Bai family, she had been fascinated by his charm.
"Don't ask so many details. Anyway, no one except Uncle and Aunt can be told about this." Knowing that her sister was a bit of a big - mouth, Bai Wenxi reminded her again.
"Please tell the lawyer for me. We'll go early tomorrow morning."
Su Yuning muttered in confusion, "Okay, okay. Is it necessary to be so urgent?"
"Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion that he'll be sentenced. You should trust the ability of my dad's apprentice."
Bai Wenxi was under heavy psychological pressure. She really wanted to tell her relatives everything and seek their comfort.
But she was afraid of the news leaking out and implicating innocent relatives, so she had to endure it alone.
Bai Wenxi saw Jiang Beihuai walking towards the bedroom through the French window and quickly hung up the phone.
"Ningmei, thank you for your help. See you tomorrow."
