It started with being betrayed by my ex-boyfriend

It was already early autumn and it was a little chilly in the morning, so Bai Yunxi wore a silk scarf with her hands buried under it. There was nothing special about this outfit, so it was not easy for ordinary people to notice that her hands were actually bandaged!

But he had already heard Tao Jingying say it, so it was easy for him to see that her hand hidden under the scarf was indeed wrapped in a bandage.

"How did your hand get injured?" Tao Jingchen asked straight to the point.

Bai Yunxi was stunned. She thought he was going to ask her to bring a message or something to Ji Hanmo, so why did he ask this right away?

She subconsciously retracted her hand under the scarf and smiled slightly, "It's just a little scratch, it's nothing serious."

Tao Jingchen frowned. It was bandaged like that. Was it just a minor abrasion? She clearly had a grudge against him, so she didn't want to talk to him more!

In that case, he had no choice but to speak frankly!

"Boss Ji is so careless. You are carrying his child. How could he bear to let you get hurt?"

Tao Jingchen was never one to gossip about others behind their backs, but he felt it was natural to gossip about Ji Hanmo in front of Bai Yunxi! He even felt a little gloating!

Bai Yunxi looked at him, unsure of what he meant.

Logically, he and Ji Hanmo are both partners and competitors. In front of her, he should be more businesslike. Being polite and distant is the best.

But what he showed was completely different. Instead, it seemed like he wanted to bypass Ji Hanmo and have a deeper contact with her.

She knew very well that it was because she looked very much like Murong Qianqian.

But she has already made it very clear that she is not Murong Qianqian, and she will not delve into the relationship between her and Murong Qianqian. What does he mean by doing this?

"I was careless." She looked at him and tried to change the subject: "President Tao took the time out of his busy schedule to come and see me. Could it be that he came here specifically to talk about this?"

She tilted her head slightly, with a faint smile on her face. She spoke politely, but her eyes could not hide the alienation. Tao Jingchen could not help but feel shocked: when he first stepped into Murong's house and saw Qianqian, Qianqian looked at him like this, with the same movements, expressions, and even eyes!

This realization made him more determined in his thoughts, and he said bluntly: "I am here to help you - to help you leave Ji Hanmo."

Bai Yunxi was startled: "What do you mean?"

"I have already investigated. You and Ji Hanmo did not marry each other out of love. An accident and a contract locked you by his side. There is absolutely no love between you two. In his heart, your position is insignificant."

Bai Yunxi's face turned pale, and he stood up in an instant: "Director Tao, you seem to worry too much about other people's family affairs!"

Tao Jingchen hit the target with one strike, and he already had a clue in his heart. He didn't mind her angry accusations at all, and continued slowly: "The rift between you was already very obvious at the holiday villa. He forcibly took you away at the last cocktail party, and then even locked you up at home and injured your hand. Miss Bai, Ji Hanmo has a bad temper, but there is one good thing about him, which is that he never hides his emotions. If he cherishes you, how could he treat you like this?"

It is undeniable that he is right.

Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale unnaturally. What's more, what he said next hit the nail on the head on what she was thinking!

"You are obviously very clear about this, so you are making plans early, for example, transferring the money under your name..."

"Enough!" Bai Yunxi frowned and scolded. He actually knew everything about everything? She felt very uncomfortable with the feeling of having no privacy in front of others, not to mention that this person's intentions towards her were obviously not pure!

Tao Jingchen did not continue to be aggressive, but let her resistance ease for a while before continuing: "I don't mean anything else. I know you have a hard time in the Ji family. I hope I can help you - and only I can help you under Ji Hanmo's hands!"

Haha, who does he think he is? Her savior?

Bai Yunxi had suffered a lot in the Bai family since she was a child. At that time, she really hoped that a god would appear in the sky like in the TV series, with a flash of white light, to save her and her mother who were suffering. However, after so many years and so many hardships, the god never appeared. Instead, life became more and more malicious to her. She had long lost hope in others.

"Director Tao, I think you got one thing wrong. I am pregnant with Ji Hanmo's child, a son, which means I am pregnant with the future heir of the Ji family. I may not be qualified to talk about the saying that a mother is honored by her son, but at least before the child is born, Ji Hanmo cares about this child, so even if he doesn't cherish me, he won't make things too difficult for me. For the first twenty years of my life, the current treatment is already the best. So, I don't need anyone to help me."

She paused and continued, "As you said, we are a contracted couple, so we can part ways amicably. After the child is born, I will be free and can leave freely. By then, I won't need anyone to help me."

Tao Jingchen looked at her, his eyes and heart full of shock.

From the first time he met her, she was the weaker one in his eyes, especially since he had witnessed with his own eyes that in all her interactions with Ji Hanmo, she was the one who was obviously wronged.

So in his subconscious, she was the one who needed help. And the only one who could help her was him - he could compete with Ji Hanmo, and he was willing to compete with Ji Hanmo for her!

Because she is too much like Qianqian! Even if helping her would ruin the cooperation between the Ji and Tao families, he would still do it!

But what he didn't expect was that he obviously underestimated the tenacity of this woman. Although she was weak, she was not humble!

He immediately said in a restrained manner: "Well, I was presumptuous. You can just pretend that you have never heard what I said today, but I promise with my personality that from now on, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will spare no effort to help you."

Bai Yunxi didn't expect him to apologize so quickly. But when she thought about it, she realized that all his actions were because of Murong Qianqian, so she didn't want to care about anything. Instead, she admired him even more in her heart.

Although Murong Qianqian has passed away, there is still a man in this world who is willing to miss her in this way. Isn't this a kind of happiness?

Seeing her nod slightly, Tao Jingchen raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.

"I'm not afraid to speak frankly. Aunt Ran was very shocked when she saw you at the party that day. She told the Murong family about it when she got home. Uncle and Aunt Murong were very excited and insisted on coming to see you. They called me more than ten times and asked me to help them arrange it."

Bai Yunxi shook his head: "There's no need for that. I just look like Murong Qianqian. I have nothing to do with the Murong family. I don't want to cling to them. Going to see them with a face that looks exactly like their daughter will only make them miss their daughter more and be more sad."

Hearing her say this, Tao Jingchen's heart became even more unsettled.

The last time he introduced Murong Qianqian to her, he also introduced the background of the Murong family. In terms of financial resources, the Murong family is indeed not as good as the Ji family, but in terms of social status and influence, the Murong family, a time-honored family with hundreds of years of inheritance, is definitely not inferior to the Ji family!

Therefore, Bai Yunxi should be very clear that if she can get the favor of Murong's parents, she will have a strong backing. At that time, even if Ji Hanmo is so arrogant, he will have to weigh the pros and cons when he wants to bully her!

Murong's parents had lost their only daughter and had no successor. If they could take a fancy to her and adopt her as an adopted daughter, then she would be instantly successful and would have the capital to compete with Ji Hanmo!

Political marriages in the business world are mostly like this. You are strong, and I am not bad either! By then, she will no longer have to be bound by the contract. She can decide whether to go or stay at any time!

But she didn't even accept this good thing that was given to her!

Bai Yunxi had just left for a while when Tao Jingchen's phone rang again. He glanced at the number and picked up the phone.

"Uncle Murong."

He paused, waiting for the other party to finish his anxious expression, and then slowly said: "I'm sorry, I couldn't convince her. Bai Yunxi is not an ordinary woman. She has her own ideas. If you are too radical, it will easily arouse her disgust. So we have to take our time with this matter."

The other party said a lot of things quickly, and he kept smiling and listened carefully. After the other party finished speaking, he said, "You and aunt, relax, I will do my best."

After hanging up the phone, he silently stared out the window in the direction where Bai Yunxi left, and said to himself: Because I am also interested in her.
