Bian Fang hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, "Madam went out and said that she wanted to meet a friend."
When Bai Xiao heard her say this, he only frowned slightly and did not ask further.
After lunch, Bai Xiao went to the office.
It was rare for him to have a good sleep. He was in a very good mood for the entire day, and even treated his subordinates much more kindly.
Hu Ke had already tidied up the incense tower in the morning. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to leave a portion for Bai Xiao.
She took the portion that she had packed and went to the cafe that she had agreed to meet Wen Huai.
"Dear, you don't know. I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days. My hair is almost gone." When Wen Huai saw Hu Ke, she leaned over affectionately and hugged Hu Ke's arm.
Hu Ke handed the thing in her hand to her and gestured in sign language.
[This is the calming incense I made. It should be quite useful. The things to take note of when using it have been written on a small note. Take a look.]
Wen Huai leaned over and kissed Hu Ke's face. "I knew you were the best! You think of me all the time!"
It was rare for the two of them not to go to the bar. After Wen Huai was done with her business, she planned to give her employees and herself a day off to rest.
She and Hu Ke were chatting in the cafe and did not notice that someone was staring at them.
Shu Xue sat in the corner of the cafe and stared at Hu Ke, who was smiling and communicating with Wen Huai.
Ever since she had attacked Hu Ke, she had been forcefully brought to psychological treatment by Shu Yu.
Today, she escaped when the bodyguards guarding her were not paying attention and happened to see Hu Ke walk into the coffee house.
She followed Hu Ke in, ordered a glass of lemonade, and sat down, thinking about how to get rid of Hu Ke.
If not for this woman, Brother Bai Xiao would have married her and they would have a happy and complete family. It would not be like now where she could only watch Bai Xiao from afar!
When Bai Xiao was dealing with work, his right eye kept twitching. He pressed his eyelids and instructed his assistant, "Arrange for a few people to find the woman I asked you to investigate previously."
The junior assistant hurriedly agreed and jogged to deal with this matter.
The Bai family had specialized people in charge of collecting and searching for information. They quickly replied that they had already arranged for someone to follow up.
Only then did Bai Xiao feel a little more at ease. He continued to watch the bidding for the land in South Bay.
South Bay was a project that they had been eyeing for a long time. If they bought the right to use this land, they could open a resort hotel and a sanatorium.
Once completed, the profits would be more than ten billion. Bai Xiao had been preparing for this piece of land for a long time. Now, he was just waiting for the auction.
Bai Xiao verified the prepared information one by one, not daring to relax at all.
Hu Ke and Wen Huai also stood up and walked out.
Hu Ke sent Bian Fang a message, telling her that she was eating out with her friend today and wouldn't be coming home.
Shu Xue, who was staring at Hu Ke's movements, also stood up and chased after her. She memorized Wen Huai's license plate number and drove after them.
The restaurant that Wen Huai chose was a well-known grilled fish restaurant. She and Hu Ke chatted and laughed as they walked into the restaurant. Shu Xue looked at their backs and suddenly stepped on the accelerator, accelerating towards them.
This was her last chance. She did not even need to kill Hu Ke. As long as Hu Ke had a miscarriage, she could be with Bai Xiao!
Shu Xue, who was blinded by jealousy, did not think about the consequences and drove straight over.
When Hu Ke and Wen Huai heard the screams of the passersby, they subconsciously turned around and saw a Land Rover rushing over. Behind the windshield was Shu Xue's distorted face.
"Go to hell!" Shu Xue roared.
When Hu Ke saw the car rushing towards her, she felt his mind go blank.
She stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
At the critical moment, a black Land Rover rushed out from the side and knocked Shu Xue's car to the side.
The few people who got out of the car made phone calls while controlling Shu Xue. There were also people who came to help Hu Ke and Wen Huai.
The number of onlookers gradually increased. Seeing that there was no hope of killing Hu Ke, Shu Xue slumped in the driver's seat in despair.
When Bai Xiao received the call from the bodyguard, he had just ended a meeting.
