Chapter 404: The Sister-in-Law Who Likes Her Brother-in-Law

Lu Ya was already angry, and she had long been dissatisfied with Gu Xiaoyue. Gu Xiaoyue had also meddled with her today, so she spoke recklessly, showing no respect for Gu Xiaoyue at all.

Gu Xiaoyue blushed, but couldn't refute it.

She never expected that Lu Ya had seen through her thoughts.

That bastard Lu Ya is blind and clueless when it comes to her own affairs, but she's got a knack for prying into other people's thoughts.

Although her true feelings were exposed, Gu Xiaoyue still retorted with a glint in her eyes, "You're talking nonsense."

Lu Ya snorted coldly, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know in your heart."

Xie Zheng's face turned cold, and he scolded, "Lu Ya, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiaoyue is my sister, and things between us aren't as dirty as you think."

Lu Ya's lips curled slightly; she had finally seized the opportunity to turn the tables. "You treat her like your sister, but she doesn't treat you like her brother."

"None of you should meddle in my business. Mind your own business and stop acting like you're so high and mighty."

Her words completely enraged Xie Zheng.

"You think we care about your mess? If it weren't for your mom being afraid you'd get hurt by that jerk and begging me to help, would I have bothered with you? Someone with cerebellar atrophy like you, it's an insult to me to even say I know you. You're not only stupid, but you're also blind. Do whatever you want from now on."

Xie Zheng retorted sarcastically, "It's best to stay locked up with that scumbag and not let him go out and harm other people."

He turned to Wang Shufen and said, "Second Aunt Wang, don't come to me about your daughter's affairs anymore. I have no interest in dealing with such a clueless idiot. People like her should just jump into the fire."

Xie Zheng's words were like poison, and Lu Ya was so angry she was jumping up and down, "You..."

Xie Zheng didn't even glance at her. He looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Alright, Xiao Zhi, I'll take Xiao Yue back first."

Bai Zhi nodded. "Okay, let's go back."

Gu Xiaoyue seemed to have been touched on by Lu Ya's words, so she lowered her head and remained silent. When she heard Xie Zheng say he would take her away, she quickly followed him.

As soon as Xie Zheng left with Gu Xiaoyue, Wang Shufen kicked Lu Ya twice more, yelling, "You brat, you've been talking nonsense! Now you've offended Xie Zheng!"

"Do you know how much Xie Zheng helped us? If it weren't for him, would I have been able to see the true colors of that scumbag Li Wei?"

"You still don't believe Li Wei and Zhang Qiuhua are having an affair? Let me tell you, Xie Zheng and I secretly went to Zhang Qiuhua's school before and saw Li Wei and her on a date outside the girls' dormitory. Do you really think today's incident was just a coincidence?"

Hearing her mother's words, Lu Ya pouted, feeling indignant.

"What help did he give? I didn't say anything wrong. Gu Xiaoyue already likes Xie Zheng. She's shameless and meddles in other people's business."

Judging from Gu Xiaoyue's reaction just now, Wang Shufen thought Lu Ya's words didn't seem to be false.

That brat is selectively blind.

Why can't I see Li Wei's true colors?

This is perhaps what is meant by being blinded by one's own involvement.

Wang Shufen said angrily, "What does it have to do with you that she likes Xie Zheng?"

Even if what she said is true, so what?

Is it illegal for Gu Xiaoyue to like Xie Zheng?

Her older sister passed away ten years ago.

Xie Zheng and her sister never got married; they were just kids back then.

"Alright, let's not talk about other people's business."

Wang Shufen had no time for gossip. She looked at Bai Zhi and pleaded urgently, "Xiao Zhi, please talk to this brat and make her realize what's going to happen to her. Her life will be ruined."

Bai Zhi originally wanted to ask Wang Shufen to leave, but when she met Wang Shufen's anxious gaze, she couldn't bear to do it.

It's not that I feel sorry for Wang Shufen.

It was not that I felt sorry for a mother.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.

Having a disappointing child is like having a debt to collect.

At Wang Shufen's request, Bai Zhi had no choice but to say a few more words.

She looked at Lu Ya and asked in a calm tone, "Lu Ya, tell me the truth, do you really trust Li Wei unconditionally?"

Lu Ya lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Bai Zhi continued.

"You're not stupid or naive. Calm down and think about it carefully. Do you really think Li Wei loves you?"

"Actually, you know everything in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it. Because you've invested too much emotion and money in Li Wei."

You can't accept that you loved the wrong person, so you're deceiving yourself, trying to give Li Wei a chance by playing dumb, hoping to win him back, right?

Lu Ya remained silent.

"You've been too well protected by your family since you were little. Plus, the men around you are all serious and upright. You find men like Li Wei, who are glib and irresponsible, boring. It's men like Li Wei who attract you."

Bai Zhi looked at her and said, word by word, "Actually, you don't love him. With your qualifications and experience, I believe you wouldn't look down on someone like him. You're just acting out of rebellion and being willful."

Bai Zhi patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "You're not getting any younger, and you've had your fun. Just consider this a learning experience in dating. Focus on your work first, and you'll meet a man who truly moves you in the future."

Lu Ya suddenly looked up and retorted, "I truly love him."

He hurt you, do you still love him?

Bai Zhi asked, "And what exactly do you love about him? Is there anything about him that you love?"

Lu Ya said, "He's cool, he's very nice to me, and he says a lot of things I like to hear."

Bai Zhi, "..."

Bai Zhi finally understood why, in her past life, there were always innocent and lovely girls from good families who would fall in love with shady young men and ruin their lives.

"Go back and think it over carefully. No one can interfere with matters of the heart; you have to figure it out yourself."

Bai Zhi was too tired to persuade her any further, and besides, it was getting late, so she had to go out to visit Grandma Zhou.

She said to Wang Shufen, "Second Aunt, I have some things to do this afternoon and need to go out."

Wang Shufen understood, and with an awkward laugh, she hurriedly said, "Okay, then we'll go back."

She smiled apologetically at Bai Zhi, but when she turned to Lu Ya, she snapped, "Go home."

Wang Shufen planned to lock Lu Ya up after returning home to prevent her from going out.

To prevent her from meeting that scumbag again and being deceived.

Given Lu Ya's intelligence and her infatuation with Li Wei, a few sweet words from Li Wei would be enough to make her elope with him.

Although the man didn't genuinely enjoy dental work, he was definitely not going to give up this cash cow so easily.

Just to be on the safe side, she had to restrict Lu Ya's personal freedom first, and then tell Lu Shaoan and Lu Hai about it to see how they would handle it.

Before leaving, Wang Shufen asked Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Second Aunt, it's not certain yet. If I finish my business late this afternoon, I won't go home. I'll go straight to work from here tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go then."

Wang Shufen shoved Lu Ya, her tone unfriendly, "Get out of here, or I'll teach you a lesson."

She was afraid that Lu Ya would run away, so she held onto her arm tightly with one hand.
