Chen Baiyi could not stand her ignorance and her insults. “I only reminded you out of kindness. It’s really Chen Chunsheng’s misfortune to have a mother like you. You won’t bring the child to get examined when he’s sick and keep arguing with me instead. Perhaps you’ve done too many bad things in the past and karma has fallen on your son.”

“What did you say?” Zhang Xiulan suddenly flipped out. She widened her eyes in anger and glared at Chen Baiyi fiercely.

Of course, Chen Baiyi was not afraid of her. She had already been extremely kind just now, so there was no need to care about Chen Xiulan’s feelings anymore. “Isn’t that so? You reap what you sow. It’s just that time’s not up yet…”

Chen Xiulan wanted to slap Chen Baiyi, but she saw a man walk out of Chen Baiyi’s room. No matter how stupid Zhang Xiulan was, she knew that this person was that murderer—He Xiao! The man was tall and muscular, as if he could kill three people with one punch. She probably could not even survive one punch from him. Zhang Xiulan’s anger disappeared.

Like a mouse that had seen a cat, she hurriedly left with Chen Chunsheng. As she walked, she looked back, since she was afraid that He Xiao would chase after her to seek justice for Chen Baiyi.

Just as she was halfway there, Chen Chunsheng shouted, “Mom, I feel uncomfortable.” Then, he fainted. Only then did Zhang Xiulan realize the severity of the matter. She thought about how Chen Baiyi said that he would go blind just now, and she was extremely afraid. He wouldn’t really… She ran to the hospital with Chen Chunsheng in her arms. On the other side, Chen Baiyi saw that Zhang Xiulan had been frightened away by He Xiao and felt that it was funny. She really bullied the weak and feared the strong.

He Xiao walked to Chen Baiyi’s side and touched her waist. “Why are you so happy after being scolded?”

“Who can be happy after being scolded?!” Chen Baiyi rolled her eyes at He Xiao. “Didn’t you see how she looked at you? She was like a mouse that saw a cat.”

He Xiao said nothing. With his muscular look, even some men would be afraid of him if they saw him, let alone women. He was used to it and did not find it funny.

After Chen Baiyi finished laughing, she felt a sense of warmth on her waist that could not be ignored. She looked down and saw that it was He Xiao’s hand. She blushed and tried to pry his hand away. “Jerk, let go!” His hand did not budge even after a long time, so Chen Baiyi could only ask him to put it down.

“Jerk? Don’t forget that last night, we…”

Chen Baiyi was so frightened that she covered He Xiao’s mouth. Afraid that he would say something he shouldn’t say, she looked at the door. After making sure that no one was there, she glared at He Xiao and gave him a threatening look.

He Xiao did not seem to discern that Chen Baiyi was threatening. He looked into Chen Baiyi’s eyes and kissed her palm.

Chen Baiyi retracted her palm, as if it had been scalded. In order to conceal her embarrassment, she deliberately shook her hand twice. “How disgusting. It’s covered in saliva.” After wiping her hand on the man’s body, she calmed down a little and started to kick him out. “Since you’re awake, hurry up and leave. We only had a one-night stand last night. Don’t think too much about it.”

When He Xiao heard Chen Baiyi’s words, he raised his eyebrows and teased, “Ms. Chen, you’re really capable! You just praised me for chasing away the bad guy, but now, you’re in a hurry to cut ties with me. How ruthless.”
