She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 304 - 303: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (15)
"Take my car, let’s talk about what my cousin wanted to tell you earlier."
After dinner at the old Yu Family residence, Ah Chen walked out with Yu Xiaoran. Just as she was about to get into the car, he said this.
This time, Ah Chen didn’t refuse and got in.
"My cousin has bad intentions, you’d better not believe him, or you’ll easily suffer," Yu Xiaoran said, seeing Ah Chen didn’t react much, assumed she didn’t believe him. He also understood that he was speaking ill of someone behind their back.
But he had a way to make Bai Chen believe him.
"Originally, if he was well-behaved, I wouldn’t expose his shortcomings to you. But today, he was quite restless, even wanting to bypass me and talk to you about our engagement, obviously with bad intentions." Yu Xiaoran sighed and took out some materials from his bag. "I had my people prepare these this afternoon, all about my cousin. You’ll know how much of a scoundrel he is once you look at it."
Ah Chen took the folder and flipped through it. It not only had written explanations, photos, but even various hospital reports, several of which were about Yu Xingfan’s female companion aborting a child.
"I’ve heard he uses dubious methods to be with some girls," Yu Xiaoran shook his head. "Because of this matter, Grandpa was very angry, but my cousin is also his grandson, so besides scolding him and cutting off his pocket money, there seems to be no other way."
"He could also go to jail," Ah Chen said seriously. "Didn’t you say he uses dubious methods to be with some girls? That’s enough to send him to jail."
Of course, she thought that with Yu Xiaoran saying these things, evidently, Yu Xingfan had already covered those matters. Those victimized girls might not necessarily sue him; some people simply accept it and leave with compensation. Some unwillingly accept it, but what can they do?
This material in her hand didn’t have relevant evidence, but Yu Xiaoran likely did, which is probably the leverage he uses to hold against Yu Xingfan. Being reincarnated, how could he not have seized the leverage of Yu Xingfan, who once caused him trouble?
"It’s not that simple. Those girls have all compromised and received sufficient compensation," Yu Xiaoran said. "Plus, I have a grandpa above me; some things aren’t as simple as you think."
Ah Chen sneered inside, it would be surprising if the old Yu Family patriarch could suppress Yu Xiaoran.
Yu Xiaoran indeed had evidence, just as Ah Chen thought. He wasn’t planning to send Yu Xingfan to jail now, but it was only a matter of time. Once Bai Ying arrived and he no longer needed to stabilize Bai Chen, he would personally send Yu Xingfan to prison.
In the past life, the other party harmed him greatly; how could he let it go so easily?
Ah Chen was aware of this matter; in the Commissioner’s memories, Yu Xingfan was eventually sent to jail. Not having Bai Ying, the humiliated and angry Yu Xiaoran ended up hating everyone he disliked.
"So, in the future, when my cousin tells you anything, think it over. Don’t let him lead you by the nose. I fear you’ll get hurt. If in doubt, come talk to me."
Ah Chen replied with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed Bai Chen wasn’t influenced by Yu Xingfan’s words.
"So what’s still in our engagement then?" Ah Chen asked.
Yu Xiaoran looked extremely composed, answering, "It’s actually a type of feudal superstition. You might laugh once you hear it."
"Oh, what kind of feudal superstition?" Ah Chen was slightly curious about what kind of reason he’d use to fool her.
Yu Xiaoran coughed lightly, "It’s the eight characters. Your eight characters happen to benefit mine."
Ah Chen raised her eyebrows, quite a storyteller indeed.
But this reason was indeed harmless, even if the Commissioner knew, it wouldn’t affect her much, she might even think it’s good. If her eight characters benefited Yu Xiaoran, it would mean he needed her.
Yu Xiaoran understood the Commissioner well.
Indeed, the other party was reincarnated, and it’s easy to leverage the Commissioner, as long as she doesn’t find out the real truth.
She had many weaknesses, frequently mundane, yet wouldn’t be able to handle such truths, which would make her uncontrollable.
The reason of eight characters benefiting Yu Xiaoran only made their marriage seem more reasonable.
"I see." Ah Chen smiled softly, "Does my cousin think that if I know about this, I’ll fall out with you?"
"Maybe," Yu Xiaoran chuckled, seemingly mocking Yu Xingfan.
That afternoon, he had already seized the opportunity to talk with Yu Xingfan. If the other dared to say anything to Bai Chen, he should prepare for prison and poverty.
He knew Yu Xingfan well, and the latter definitely wouldn’t choose a desperate outcome remotely.
As long as he had leverage, the other party would behave well and wouldn’t dare say another word to Bai Chen.
Besides, he only needed a little over a year, not too much delay. A mere Yu Xingfan couldn’t threaten him.
No one could interfere with him cultivating affections with Bai Ying; whoever dared to block him, he’d never forgive.
Things seemed to have passed like this, as Yu Xiaoran realized Ah Chen showed no interest in cultivating affections, nor mentioned divorce, he pretended not to notice and maintained a peaceful coexistence.
If there was anything different, a few differences still existed.
Over the past month, he had grown accustomed to coming back every evening to have a bowl of porridge, which was indeed nice, the caveat is, without knowing it was made by Bai Chen.
Having known now that she made it, he certainly wouldn’t mention it to her. An obediently quiet Bai Chen was surely preferable to one waiting to cultivate affections with him.
After all, he had to wait for Bai Ying and didn’t want any extensive entanglement with Bai Chen.
Ah Chen’s days were also spent peacefully. She’d go and chat with Bai Huimei at the Lu Family, and the mother-daughter relationship had improved greatly.
Bai Huimei had learned how to shoot videos and edit them.
After Ah Chen helped her with account marketing, she surprisingly drew many followers.
Seeing Bai Huimei capable of handling all this by herself, Ah Chen stopped posting Bai Huimei’s videos but always showed support whenever Bai Huimei released new content. With 997’s help monitoring, she was always the first to appear in Bai Huimei’s video comments.
"How are things with Xiaoran lately?"
Though finding a new hobby naturally excited Bai Huimei, the daughter’s romantic issues still worried her.
"Very calm with no waves, he is busy with his things, I’m busy with mine," Ah Chen said. "Since I stopped being proactive, he seems to have lost interest too; it seems improbable for us to develop feelings."
Bai Huimei grew more concerned and held Ah Chen’s hand, frowning: "Are you not planning to have a child then?"
"Since there’s no affection, don’t rush to have children."
She didn’t regret giving birth to her daughter, yet wished her daughter wouldn’t tread the same path, meeting another life without being prepared posed risks.
Ah Chen chuckled, "We live separately."
Moreover, even in the future, if she were to date someone and get married, once feelings settle, having a child would still be unlikely.
Such words were better left unsaid, lest Bai Huimei worried more.
Bai Huimei paused: "Even after marrying?"
"Yeah, he told me the engagement was arranged by elders and isn’t yet acceptable, so we live separately."
Bai Huimei grew slightly indignant: "Then why rush into marriage, why not develop feelings first? Isn’t he playing around with people? What feudal family’s young master is he?"
It was the first time Bai Huimei got this angry, Ah Chen soothed and softly spoke: "Probably because my eight characters benefit his."
