Chapter 122: Liked the Same Person

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Liked the Same Person

Fang Anning thanked Bai Yunyang, "I owe you one for today’s help, Mr. Bai, but this doesn’t count as repaying the favor you owe me."

"But He Tingchen still knows it was Yunzhu who did it," Bai Yunyang said.

Fang Anning responded, "That’s none of my business. At any rate, I didn’t tattle on her, and kept Miss Bai’s matters tightly under wraps. As for how he found out from elsewhere, that’s outside my control."

Bai Yunyang smiled, "Mm, so I’m still very grateful to Miss Fang for keeping her lips sealed. That’s why I didn’t expose Miss Fang’s lies and allowed her to trick my sister."

Fang Anning was surprised, "You knew?"

Bai Yunyang nodded.

Fang Anning frowned, "If you knew, why did you still help me? Giving that set of jade jewelry to Mrs. Liao would surely vex her."

"That’s exactly the result I wanted to see," Bai Yunyang said.

Fang Anning looked at him, not understanding.

Bai Yunyang explained, "Yunzhu is young and naive, and she tends to take things at face value. She met He Tingchen when she was young and took quite a fancy to him. For the following years, He Tingchen avoided the public and only appeared behind a mask. Now that he’s removed the mask, all her old feelings are bubbling up again, and my lectures have no effect on her. She somehow won Mrs. Liao’s favor, making her an ally. This frustrates me, but I would be pleased to see it lead to Mrs. Liao getting upset over the birthday present."

"So that’s why you stood by and watched her get tricked by me, not only failing to expose me but also helping me instead? But why don’t you approve of her liking He Tingchen? Your Bai family is so wealthy and powerful, and He Tingchen is impressive too. A marriage alliance between your two families would be a joining of forces," Fang Anning asked, puzzled.

Marriages between wealthy families are the longest-running drama.

Their alliance isn’t as simple as one plus one equals two.

"Are you happy being with He Tingchen?" Bai Yunyang asked.

Fang Anning was taken aback—his question seemed out of the blue!

"It’s alright."

Bai Yunyang smiled, "But if Yunzhu stays by his side, sooner or later she’ll end up just like his previous companions—fading away early. So, not everyone has Miss Fang’s boldness to stay with him."

Internally, Fang Anning thought that He Tingchen’s exes hadn’t faded away early; they were simply misunderstood.

However, she dared not voice the truth.

"You flatter me, Mr. Bai."

"Actually, He Tingchen and I used to be really good friends," Bai Yunyang added, "It was also because of this relationship that Yunzhu had a chance to meet him."

"Ah, you two were really good friends?" Fang Anning was surprised.

They didn’t seem like they’d be compatible.

He Tingchen was so temperamental, unlike Bai Yunyang who seemed so gentle.

Them, as friends?

She found it hard to imagine what they might do together.

"Doesn’t seem like it?" Bai Yunyang asked with a smile.

Fang Anning shook her head, "I can’t picture it."

Bai Yunyang smiled and said, "But it’s the truth, we were once very close. I thought we’d be friends for life."

"Then why did you drift apart?" Fang Anning asked.

After asking, she quickly added, "I’m just curious, you don’t have to answer. I know it’s not always good to know too much."

With that, she shrugged her shoulders.

Bai Yunyang was amused by her cute gesture.

Smiling, he answered, "It’s not like there’s anything I can’t say. We were young and impetuous back then, caring about more things. Actually, we fell out because of a woman."

"You both liked the same woman?" Fang Anning was surprised.

Bai Yunyang looked at her expression and asked, "You don’t seem at all jealous."

Fang Anning thought to herself, why would I be jealous? What right do I have to be jealous?

She just grumbled about it in her mind.

"That’s all in the past now. Seeing how good he is to you now, you shouldn’t dwell on the past," Bai Yunyang added.

Fang Anning smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Bai, I naturally won’t dwell on the past."

She didn’t dare to, and she couldn’t control it either.

"That’s good to hear. I have other matters to attend to, we’ll talk more next time," Bai Yunyang said.

Fang Anning nodded, stood still, and watched Bai Yunyang leave.

After Bai Yunyang left, Mrs. Chen quickly came over and asked, "Wife, why did you talk so much with him? What were you talking about?"

"It was nothing, just small talk. But, it seems like you don’t really like him?" Fang Anning asked.

Actually, she noticed that, apart from He Tingchen, Mrs. Chen didn’t really like anyone else.

However, since Bai Yunyang was once a good friend of He Tingchen, he should have often visited the He family in the past. With Bai Yunyang’s temperament and character, he didn’t seem like someone who would offend people, quite the opposite—he was quite charming. So why did Mrs. Chen seem to dislike him?

"Him? Hmph, just a petty person," Mrs. Chen sniffed dismissively.

Fang Anning raised her eyebrows: "Bai Yunyang? But I think he’s a decent person."

"What’s decent about him? Wife, you really shouldn’t think like that. The only decent man in this world is our master," Mrs. Chen said.

Fang Anning nodded, "Alright, alright, your master is the best."

She finished speaking and chuckled, shaking her head.

However, after getting into the car, she casually asked, "I heard that Bai Yunyang and He Tingchen once liked the same girl. Who was that girl?"

Mrs. Chen: "..."

"How can that be, there’s no such thing."

"Oh, then I must have heard it wrong," Fang Anning said with a smile.

The car started slowly and headed towards the old He family mansion.

When Fang Anning got home, she took a shower, comfortably lying on the sofa on the balcony to soak up the sun.

Although shopping wasn’t very tiring, for a pregnant woman like her, it was somewhat strenuous.

But fortunately, she managed to get things done, and even got a chance for petty revenge.

She could almost imagine Bai Yunzhu, despised by He Min, crying pitifully.

"Did you run into Bai Yunyang today?" He Tingchen came back, wrapping his arms around her from behind.

Fang Anning pouted and said, "Mrs. Chen really can’t keep her mouth shut. She’s just a blabbermouth, especially when it comes to tattling."

"But she’s very loyal to me," He Tingchen said.

"Yeah, she is," Fang Anning sighed.

"So, what exactly did you talk to Bai Yunyang about today?" the man asked again.

Fang Anning sat up, turned around to look at him, and smiled, "You seem to care a lot about him."

"It’s not that I care, I just don’t want you interacting too much with him. I’ve said before, keep your distance from him," the man said.

Fang Anning explained, "It’s not like I wanted to interact with him, it just so happened that we met today. He gave me an 80% discount on my jewelry. When he wanted to speak a few words, I couldn’t just refuse."

"So, what exactly was said?"

"It was nothing much, just him saying he didn’t want Bai Yunzhu to like you, and mentioned that he used to be a good friend of yours. Oh, right, he also said the reason you two became distant was because you both liked the same girl once."
