Inheriting 300 million and a sick boyfriend

Chapter 56: First Cold War, Not Very Skilled Yet
“Gurgle~Gurgle~”

Bai Yanan was so troubled that it was noon in the blink of an eye.

The rumbling sounds from her stomach reminded her that it was time to find something to eat.

She only said that she didn't eat breakfast, but she didn't say she didn't eat lunch.

I got up from the bed where I had been staying for half a day and went downstairs, where I saw Aunt Wu and Uncle Qian.

Aunt Wu was preparing meal in the restaurant, and Uncle Qian just came in from the front door.

I took a quick glance but didn't see Zhou Weiyi.

He would show up on his own at dinner time, so she didn't ask.

There was still some time before dinner, so she picked up a big red apple, ate it and walked out to the small garden for a stroll.

As we walked, we arrived at the place where Zhou Weiyi placed his cactus.

I guess it's because it lives in a big garden with plenty of sunlight, large space, and is well taken care of. It looks a lot bigger than before.

I wish he could put the same care he puts into taking care of flowers and plants on himself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

She strolled slowly in the garden while chewing an apple, and when she came back to the house, it was just in time for dinner.

Zhou Weiyi just happened to come down from upstairs at this time.

When she saw someone, she subconsciously wanted to say hello.

Just as he was about to speak, he remembered that the two of them were still arguing.

She looked at him one last time, then pretended not to see him and walked away with a stern face.

Zhou Weiyi could see that she wanted to say hello to him, but when he saw her walk away without saying anything, he felt disappointed.

Even if two people sat at the same table to eat, they would not talk to each other and eat their own food.

It was a very quiet and depressing atmosphere, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were in a cold war.

It was the first time that Uncle Qian and Aunt Wu saw the two of them like this.

They have been with Bai Yanan for some time and know her character. She appreciates how good she is to Zhou Weiyi and will not easily put him in a difficult position.

It can be seen that she was really angry with him this time.

They both knew and believed that she was not an unreasonable person and hoped that they would reconcile quickly, but they did not interfere.

During this time, Zhou Weiyi did want to speak, but Bai Yanan's expression, which said "keep away from strangers", made him realize it.

Even if I tell her, she won't listen, and she might even be so angry that she won't eat.

Thinking that she didn't have breakfast, she had to eat lunch, so she decided to eat first.

The two of them didn't say a word until the end of the meal.

After dinner, Zhou Weiyi didn’t get to talk to her because Cheng Jing came to visit suddenly.

Because of what she said in the morning, when he saw the lawyer appear at home at noon, his face changed instantly.

Cheng Jing, who had been busy yesterday and couldn't leave, came today to find out what was going on, but he didn't know that the two were arguing.

When greeting the two of them, he saw that Zhou Weiyi didn't look well and he showed special concern.

"Didn't Xiaoyi get enough rest yesterday?"

Although Zhou Weiyi didn't want him to be here at this time, he couldn't chase him away.

He relaxed his expression and responded, "I'm fine."

"That's good. You scared me yesterday. Don't do it again next time."

He just mentioned it casually out of concern for the possible adverse consequences of such things.

Those who speak it have no intention, but those who hear it are sad.

The two of them were already in a cold war over this matter, and bringing it up again, wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire?
After Cheng Jing finished speaking, he did not respond and subconsciously looked at Bai Yanan's reaction.

He found that Bai Yanan was also looking at him, but with an unhappy expression.

That good-looking face seemed to be saying: Why are you looking at me? There was no answer on my face.

He withdrew his gaze and responded to Cheng Jing.

After confirming that Zhou Weiyi was safe at home and had something else to talk about with Bai Yanan, the two of them left first. Zhou Weiyi was already suspicious of Cheng Jing's appearance, and now that they were talking about something behind his back, he felt even more suspicious.

I usually don't have much wisdom, but now I have developed it.

The two of them went to the sunroom outside the garden to drink tea and chat, and he also pretended to be strolling in the garden to digest his food.

The reason Cheng Jing came to see her this time, besides confirming Zhou Weiyi's safety, was for another more important matter.

Zhou Weiyi's biological mother, who had thrown him back to the Zhou family and ignored him, somehow found out that his custody was in her hands and ran to the Zhou family to make a scene.

She said that she is Zhou Weiyi's biological mother and should not give his custody to outsiders.

What she cares about, of course, is not custody but property.

However, it was useless for her to make trouble at the Zhou family, after all, the people in the Zhou family had no authority to deal with this matter.

She didn't approach the two people directly because she didn't know their addresses.

The Zhou family knew that she and Zhou Weiyi lived here, but they didn't reveal their address, not because they had a change of heart.

Because the Zhou family also wants to get back the custody of Zhou Weiyi.

If Weng Ruoxin were allowed to leave, they would never be able to get her back.

Although Bai Yanan holds a lot of Zhou's shares, she will not do anything as long as the Zhou family does not make things difficult for her.

But if it were handed over to Weng Ruoxin, with her aggressive, unreasonable, greedy and selfish character, it would be impossible for the Zhou family not to be in chaos.

As long as the Zhou family members are not stupid, they will know whoever's side they stand on will be more beneficial to them.

Although the Zhou family did not reveal the two people's address, Weng Ruoxin did not give up so easily.

It's only a matter of time before you find this.

The bodyguards in this villa, in addition to keeping an eye on Zhou Weiyi, are more importantly responsible for preventing Weng Ruoxin from causing trouble.

Zhou Weiyi doesn’t know about this yet, and Bai Yanan has no plans to tell him.

And Cheng Jing came this time because he wanted her and Zhou Weiyi to leave Shengcheng for a while and hide away.

Bai Yanan knew his good intentions, but rejected the proposal.

She was not the kind of person who liked to run away when encountering trouble. More importantly, even if she managed to escape this time, as long as they returned to Shengcheng, they might be found again.

"But... that woman is really not easy to deal with."

Hearing Bai Yanan's refusal, Cheng Jing was worried for her.

Bai Yanan said nonchalantly, "She is Ayi's biological mother after all. It's normal for her to want custody of her son back. At worst, I can give it to her."

"What's the difference between this and throwing him back into the tiger's mouth? I don't agree!"

Cheng Jing looked at her in disbelief.

"The son wants to go back to his mother's house to be reunited. Why do you, an outsider, disagree?"

Cheng Jing: “…”

If Bai Yanan, as the guardian of the person, agrees, then he, as a lawyer, does not have the power to interfere.

Just as he was thinking of persuading her to think twice, his eyes saw Zhou Weiyi outside the garden, who was almost flattening the stones around the sun room where they were.

It looks like he's just taking a walk around, but he feels sneaky.

Bai Yanan, who had noticed Zhou Weiyi's unusual behavior early on, also thought he was weird, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so she changed the subject.

"If you think it's inappropriate for him to return to his biological mother, I can give you custody of him."

Cheng Jing withdrew his gaze from Zhou Weiyi outside the sun room and looked at her with an indescribable look.

"If you want him to go back to his biological mother, you might as well send him back to the Zhou family. Even if the Zhou family treats him badly, they won't kill him, but that's not necessarily the case with his biological mother."

“That’s a great idea indeed!”

Cheng Jing: “…”

I just said that, but I didn't expect Bai Yanan to agree with this suggestion!

Suddenly I felt a little sorry for Zhou Weiyi.
