Boyuan was unyielding. “You didn’t talk to me, but if I heard you, I had the right to answer. After all, my mouth is on me. What reason do you have to control me? Besides, I’m called a righteous man, understand?”

Boyuan was best at arguing and had never lost.

Li Xiwu pulled Boyuan back. “Alright, there’s no need to say too much. We’re in a hurry.”

Boyuan was furious. “But she

Li Xiwu said, “I’m not familiar with her.”

Hearing Li Xiwu’s words, Boyuan suddenly smiled and turned to look at Yu Hewei. “Did you hear that? She’s not familiar with you. Why are you following us? If you follow me again, I’ll call the police immediately.”

With that, Boyuan pulled Li Xiwu into the car and left.

Yu Hewei looked at the back of the car and smiled. Then, she took out her phone and opened Li Xiwu’s WeChat. She found a recent photo in the photo album and sent it.

Then typed: [Is this the daughter you had with him?]

After Li Xiwu got into the car with Boyuan, she was still calm. She did not feel the threat Yu Hewei posed to her. On the other hand, Boyuan rambled, “My mother has a better relationship with Yu Hewei because Yu Hewei used to be your friend. My mother will look at her differently.

“I didn’t have much interaction with Yu Hewei in the past. The few times I met her was when I saw you. She was by your side.

“I don’t think she knows about your pregnancy, does she?”

Li Xiwu shook her head. “She doesn’t know.”

This was because Gu Lanshi had mentioned to her that Yu Hewei had never seen her when she was pregnant. With Madam Di Xin as a cover, not to mention Yu Hewei, Gu Lanshi only found out about Li Xiwu’s pregnancy when she was five months pregnant.

Boyuan said, “It’s best if she doesn’t know. I keep feeling that she’s a little strange. Just last time, Yu Hewei participated in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show that you and Mrs. Pei recorded. I wasn’t surprised to see her. The audience thought that she was honest, but I thought that she had ill intentions.”

Li Xiwu did not reply, looking thoughtful.

Boyuan turned to look at Li Xiwu and asked, “Did you notice it on the show?”

Li Xiwu came back to her senses and nodded. “I sensed it. She wanted me to regain my memories and think of her.”

“Why must you think of her? Did she think she’s important?” Boyuan complained.

Just as she finished complaining, Li Xiwu’s phone beeped. Li Xiwu took out her phone. Seeing this, Boyuan consciously looked away and did not spy on Li Xiwu’s private message.

Li Xiwu opened WeChat. When she saw the WeChat photo Yu Hewei had sent, her pupils constricted. She gripped her cell phone tightly to prevent her emotions from being disturbed by Yu Hewei’s words.

After quickly calming down, Li Xiwu typed: [What exactly are you trying to say?] She waited a moment in silence. The prompt came again. It was a message from Yu Hewei. [I want to see you. Get out.]

“Stop the car!” Li Xiwu suddenly said.

The chauffeur slowed down and found a suitable spot to pull over.

Seeing this, Boyuan asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?

Li Xiwu put away her cell phone and turned to Boyuan. “I have something to do. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to pick Youyou up today. Help me tell Youyou that I’m sorry I couldn’t pick her up today. I’ll make a grapefruit cake to apologize to her tonight.”

“Alright, I’ll tell Youyou what you said. That grapefruit cake makes me crave it.” Boyuan smiled. She had probably guessed why Li Xiwu suddenly wanted to

get out of the car, but she didn’t ask. She only said, “Then come back early. I’ll prepare the ingredients for the cake and learn from you.”

Li Xiwu smiled faintly and replied, “Okay.”

After Li Xiwu got out of the car, Boyuan lowered the window and reminded her worriedly. Then, the car drove away and rushed to the kindergarten to pick up Youyou and Little Jingzhe. Li Xiwu waited where she was for about three minutes before a black car slowly drove over and stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Yu Hewei’s face. Her lips curled. “Get in.”

Without a word, Li Xiwu walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in. Compared to the casual smile on Yu Hewei’s face, Li Xiwu’s expression looked a little cold. It was difficult to ignore such an expression.

Yu Hewei was in no hurry to start the car. She rested her elbows on the steering wheel and looked at the cold-faced Li Xiwu calmly. “Don’t be unhappy.

I just want to chat with you. I don’t have any other thoughts.”

Li Xiwu looked sideways at Yu Hewei. “If you want to chat with me, you can start.”

Yu Hewei asked, “Why did you and Pei Jingzhou have a daughter for no reason?

Instead of answering, Li Xiwu asked) “When did you secretly take that photo?” The photo was of her and Youyou interacting. It had been secretly taken by Yu

Hewei.

“Two days ago, I wanted to go to your company to look for you and recommend myself… Oh no, I recommend that I debut. I wanted to let you see if I was suitable to be your artist, but you weren’t in the company. I still didn’t see you the next day.”

As she spoke, Yu Hewers tone became even more curious. “I was wondering what you were doing, so I found an opportunity to follow you. In the end, I saw a very interesting scene. You actually brought a little girl along, and that little girl even called you… Mom?”

Li Xiwu said frankly, “Her name is Youyou. She’s my daughter.”

Yu Hewei said, “She looks to be three or four years old. Was she born in the capital three years ago, or in Country T four years ago?

Li Xiwu said, “Country T.”

Yu Hewei thought quickly. “The months you were with your mother for

chemo?

Li Xiwu looked up at Yu Hewei.

Yu Hewei could tell from Li Xiwu’s expression. “Looks like I was right.”

Li Xiwu said, “Did you ask me to meet to ask this?”

“More than that. I’m tired of working and don’t want to return to Hai City for the time being. I want to continue developing in the capital. After thinking about it, I’ve decided to debut as an actress.” As she spoke, Yu Hewei leaned over and looked at Li Xiwu’s side profile with sparkling eyes. “Are you willing to sign me and promote my debut?”

Li Xiwu smiled. “You’re suitable to debut. Your face is your capital, but I can’t take you on.”

“You rejected me so quickly?” Yu Hewei sighed.

Li Xiwu didn’t want to talk to Yu Hewei about such boring things. She returned to the main topic and said to Yu Hewei seriously, “I know you don’t have any ill intentions. You want to see me, so I came. I’ve answered everything you want to ask. I’m willing to believe what you said before. We were very good friends. Perhaps you were by my side for a long time. Our friendship is even more precious than I imagined. I’ve already made preparations to recover my memories. I’ll remember everything about the past and you.”

These words probably touched Yu Hewei’s heart. She looked very moved. Her eyes were lowered and her eyelashes fluttered.. “Do you know what I’m feeling now…?
