Fearless

Yu Wei had come this time to put Hu Ke in her place and embarrass her. At the same time, she wanted to let An Wen interact with Bai Xiao and spend more time with him.

In the future, after Hu Ke and Bai Xiao divorced, the An family and the Bai family would join forces and their businesses would expand. Unexpectedly, although Hu Ke looked weak on the surface, she was actually not at a disadvantage at all.

At first, Hu Ke thought that Yu Wei had brought An Wen over to laugh at her. Unexpectedly, An Wen and Yu Wei did not get a chance. In the end, she could still sit at the side and watch the show.

Yu Wei was thinking about how to get An Wen to stand with her first, but she didn't expect An Wen and Hu Ke to look at her as if they were united.

Yu Wei wasn't afraid of offending Hu Ke. The Hu Clan was already in a fallen state and only had a title left. However, the An Clan was different. If the An Clan and the Bai Clan became enemies in the future, both sides would suffer.

An Wen also understood this principle, but she would not allow anyone to use this method to deceive her. An Wen did not say anything and waited for Yu Wei's explanation.

Yu Wei was about to break out in cold sweat. She stood there awkwardly, stammering as she tried to find a suitable excuse. Finally, Bai Xiao stood up and helped her out.

"Miss Hu and I are engaged by agreement. It will automatically be dissolved after a year. That's why my mother announced to the public that I'm unmarried." Bai Xiao spoke, and the atmosphere naturally eased.

"Yes, yes, yes." Yu Wei hurriedly squeezed out a smile and echoed.

With this remark given by Bai Xiao, An Wen also managed to get out of the situation.

There were many people in the industry who entered into contract marriages for the sake of benefits. Many small families would use this method to help their companies win more attention and value, let alone a wealthy family like the Bai family.

She accepted this explanation calmly and nodded without saying anything else.

Now that Yu Wei had a way out, she turned around and arrogantly instructed Hu Ke, "An Wen is a guest today. Although you and my Bai Xiao are engaged, you have to do your duty and greet the guests well."

On the side, Hu Ke was still as still as a mountain. She even took out her phone and typed slowly. She had no intention of following Yu Wei's instructions.

When Yu Wei saw her like this, she was so angry that she almost laughed. She had been praised since she was young. Even though she was already old, she was still Madam Bai, who was valued by everyone. As her daughter-in-law, Hu Ke had never taken her seriously.

Yu Wei's dissatisfaction with her grew. She wished she could get lost as soon as possible.

"I'm not feeling well, so I won't accompany you any longer. As the butler, Bian Fang will take good care of the guests." Hu Ke clicked on the player, and the electronic voice from the phone finished reading the words she had typed.

Then, Hu Ke went upstairs without looking back. She did not even look at the others.

She would not stay in the Bai family for long. She had already bought the house she liked and the contract was almost completed. After the child was born, she would have nothing to do with Bai Xiao. Why should she let herself suffer now?

Besides, since she and Bai Xiao were engaged by agreement, and she was not the mistress of the house, why should she serve the so-called guests? The baby in her stomach was already two months old. She had to take good care of the baby and not do rough work.

Hu Ke directly went upstairs to her room, leaving Yu Wei and Bai Xiao looking at each other.

As a mute and Bai Xiao's marriage partner, she naturally needed the Bai family's help. No matter what, she should have given Yu Wei some face and put on a show. Who would have thought that Hu Ke would completely disregard them?

Yu Wei's face was ashen. It was obvious that she was angered by Hu Ke. Her breathing was rapid. Bian Fang, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly helped her to the sofa. She even poured some water, trying to calm Yu Wei down.

"Auntie, don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health for such a person." Sitting steadily beside Yu Wei, Bai Xiao also sat down at the side. Although he didn't speak, he stayed by Yu Wei's side.

Yu Wei took a long time to calm down. She let out a long sigh and patted her steady hand. "Good child, you're different from that woman. You came from a proper wealthy family, unlike her, who's so petty."

An Wen only smiled and did not say anything. After Yu Wei and Bai Xiao chatted for a while, she left with Yu Wei.

She could tell that Bai Xiao and Yu Wei did not like Hu Ke very much, but she could not understand why Bai Xiao and Hu Ke still wanted to get married.
