Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1550: One False Step Leads to Another
Bai Yun was a bit emotional, speaking incoherently, and before long, she started crying again.
Shang Qing’s face darkened a bit.
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly watched Bai Yun, unable to describe what she was feeling inside.
If only she had known it would come to this, she wouldn’t have done what she did back then.
If she had been kinder to others and things, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now.
Moreover, even if a person changes, some things seem to remain deep down in their bones.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt she was really overthinking things.
However, for Shang Qing, this matter was something she had to deal with.
She believed Shang Qing’s nature was such that she wouldn’t gossip in front of Shang You.
Shang Qing seemed puzzled. "Bai Yun, did you have a fight with my third brother?"
"Xiao Qing, didn’t your third brother tell you anything?"
Bai Yun stopped crying and asked doubtfully.
How could it seem like Shang Qing knew nothing about it?
"My third brother didn’t say anything. He came home last time, had breakfast, and left. I didn’t even know you guys had a conflict."
Bai Yun was suddenly stunned.
Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly spoke up, directly asking, "Bai Yun, does Shang You know about how you framed me?"
Bai Yun’s face turned red, shaking her head, she stammered, "No, he doesn’t."
Shang Qing frowned, "I thought you would have told my third brother yourself. Why didn’t you?"
"I..." Bai Yu was lost for words.
Indeed, she hadn’t said anything.
Although she was always uneasy, she held onto a sliver of hope that Shang You knew, because she felt that once Shang Qing found out she was dating Shang You, she might tell him.
Even if Shang Qing didn’t say anything, someone else would.
This wasn’t a secret back then.
And since Shang You had always been good to her, it meant he didn’t blame her.
Moreover, this incident had happened almost three years ago, and she felt it made no difference whether she told him or not.
Since people had long forgotten about it.
And she also didn’t want to dwell on those embarrassing memories.
But after hearing Shang Qing’s words today, anxiety unexpectedly crept up in Bai Yun’s heart.
She’s cunning and naturally smart. From Shang Qing’s words, it seemed she hadn’t told her third brother either.
So hadn’t anyone else told Shang You?
Does that mean, several years later, Shang You had only just found out?
Hence, his sudden change in attitude.
Bai Yun’s heart was in turmoil, as if being deep-fried in oil, remembering her grandfather once said life often affords no room for mistakes.
One wrong step leads to another.
Once the arrow is shot, there’s no turning back. You must think things through before acting, or else you will have to swallow the bitter consequences of your failure.
Also, sometimes you need to seize the initiative, rather than waiting until someone knocks on your door before thinking of ways to respond.
Being proactive has its benefits.
Back then, when her grandfather spoke these words, they were full of meaning.
She agreed meekly but didn’t take them to heart.
Now, it seems she made a mistake.
She shouldn’t have harbored any illusions. Before getting too deep, she should have told Shang You everything right away.
Unfortunately, now it seems too late for all that.
Shang Qing observed Bai Yun’s face, alternating between green and pale, and her bloodless, trembling lips, and knew what was happening.
No wonder Qiaoqiao wanted her to meet Bai Yun.
Otherwise, she would have been burdened with a heavy blame.
If her third brother really broke up with her, given Bai Yun’s character, she might attribute it all to her.
So Bai Yun must have thought, before this meeting, that she had said something to her third brother.
Indeed, she said something.
She shared her opinion.
She didn’t like Bai Yun.
She advised her third brother not to be deceived by Bai Yun’s beautiful appearance.
At that time, her third brother had just established a relationship with Bai Yun.
Naturally, he laughed it off and didn’t take it seriously.
And she also assumed her third brother knew what Bai Yun had done.
But she didn’t expect that her silly third brother didn’t know a thing.
No wonder, her third brother spent his childhood living with their grandmother, and after getting into military school, he wasn’t at home often, not very close with the family, so Shang Qing spoke cautiously.
"Bai Yun, I didn’t tell my third brother about your past actions. I thought my third brother knew..." Shang Qing shot a sideways glance at Bai Yun and said in a low voice.
"He never mentioned it to me. I assumed he might know, I..." At this point, Bai Yun suddenly stood up, clutching her handbag tightly, her face pale. She looked down at Shang Qing and Gu Qiaoqiao across from her, "If it’s because of this, then I know who told him."
"Who was it?" Shang Qing asked curiously.
Gu Qiaoqiao did not speak, watching her quietly.
"Sun Yingke, she approached me some time ago... and even threatened me..." Bai Yun said with difficulty, word by word.
"Sun Yingke?" Shang Qing’s eyes widened with surprise, "Isn’t she your future sister-in-law and co-conspirator back then?"
"Yes, my cousin broke up with her long ago, and she’s not doing well now, so she came to me..." Bai Yun suddenly paused, looking at the two people in front of her, her voice hoarse, "Sorry for disturbing you today. I have to leave now..."
With that, she turned and hurriedly walked towards the café’s entrance.
Her figure seemed slightly unsteady.
It seemed she understood where the problem lay.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Shang Qing exchanged a glance, shrugged in unison; next, there really wasn’t anything for them to do.
However, if it were someone else, things might be a bit better, but since it’s Sun Yingke, the co-conspirator, things aren’t so simple.
Others couldn’t possibly know everything.
They only knew what they saw and heard on that day of junior high, which might just be a matter of teenage rivalry—easily laughed off.
But Sun Yingke knew all the inside details.
All the events of that day, she was well aware.
How they drugged, how they tricked Gu Qiaoqiao, how they made Gu Qiaoqiao embarrassed...
If it was indeed her who said it, Bai Yun could only hope for the best.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought, if she were Shang You, learning about these things from a co-conspirator would be enough to completely change his view of Bai Yun.
However, these things no longer concerned her.
Most likely, Bai Yun would never appear before her again after this.
The future is hard to predict, but at least they won’t meet in the short term.
Shang Qing and Gu Qiaoqiao finished their coffee and then left the café.
To the east and west, Qin Yize and Dongfang Yu’s cars were waiting for them.
Shang Qing took a deep breath, realizing that living well indeed brings the blessings of fortune.
Nowadays, she is immersed in the ocean of love, experiencing love and being loved.
She has also learned a lot about Dongfang Yu.
