Chapter 256
Fang Shao Han turns to Bai Qing in confusion . “Qing Qing, you know Bai Mu Ye?”
Inwardly, Bai Qing curses herself for forgetting herself . Outwardly, she puts away the knife and fork gracefully and answers calmly: “No . It’s just I seldom hear that surname . ”
Fang Shao Han nods . “Indeed . Besides you, this is the first time I hear this surname in entertainment . ”
Jokingly, he adds: “Come to think of it, since you share the same surname, is it possible that you are related or something?”
Though shaken, Bai Qing turns to Fang Shao Han without batting an eyelid . She sets her mind at ease noticing that he is like usual and clearly only blurted out whatever came into his mind .
She answers with a faint smile: “I’m from a small family . ”
Fang Shao Han leaves the topic at that .
Miss Lu changes her lover every month . Nobody will take a newcomer to the business seriously .
Though Fang Shao Han doesn't care about Bai Mu Ye anymore, Bai Qing is worried out of her wits .
Ending the lunch hastily, she refuses Fang Shao Han’s invitation to golf .
Only when she is finally back in her car does she take off her mask of calmness and starts to show fear .
In a hurry, she takes out her phone, wants to find out whether this Bai Mu Ye is the one she knows about or if it's just a coincidence .
Deep down, she wants it to be a coincidence .
Bai Mu Ye’s appearance rips open a memory that she can't stand and exposes the deeply-embedded self-loathing under her seemingly perfect mask .
She was born a love child .

Her mother was the other woman who broke someone else's marriage .
She has a younger brother who is called Bai Mu Ye .
When she was a kid, she didn't know about that younger brother . Except for the fact that she didn't have a father, she had everything like every other kid .
Until one day, a graceful and beautiful lady came to her home .
She would always remember the way that lady looked at her, like she was looking at a filthy rat under the bridge .
While her mother, who was usually adorned with products of famous brands was like a newly rich of bad taste in contrast .
“Bai Han’s judgment of women disappoints me . ” She heard the lady say coldly .
“My Mu Ye has no siblings . ”

Afterwards, she and her mother moved to another city .
A young kid lived in financial security suddenly fell into a life on shoestring .
By then, she learned who her father was and memorized the name that lady spoke of .
Mu Ye .
Bai Mu Ye .
Though years has passed, that lady might not even remember her and her mother . Bai Mu Ye, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth might not even know about her existence .
However, she can't let go of the past and often keeps an eye on the financial section, on Bai Family .

Flipping through the news, she only sees side shots of Bai Mu Ye .
No .
She takes a deep breath .
She has to make sure .
Ah Zhao gets a new message on her phone .
“Meet me tonight at Spiritual Pivot Garden . ”
A message which lacks coherence or logic . Its aloof tone doesn't show any concern for Ah Zhao's opinion .
She checks the alias saved on her phone - “Qing Qing” and feels disgusted .
