After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Qing Sisi didn't cry and fuss like a little girl, clinging to her mother or saying a lot of things. She simply replied with a "okay".

But he said "okay" so firmly, as if he had promised his mother a great deal.

The mother and daughter stared into each other's eyes for two or three seconds before Qing's mother turned and left.

Watching Qingma's departing figure, Bai Yu felt her mother's love and its greatness for the first time.

"Sisi, let's pack up and go. I'll take you to rent a place, and we can buy whatever we need while we're there."

Bai Yu had originally planned to take Qing Sisi to rent a house and live away from that family.

But the girl knew very well that her father would never agree, but now Qing Ma had completely agreed and even transferred some money to the girl so that she could move out and entrusted her to him with peace of mind.

Bai Yu now feels even more pressure, since living with Qing Sisi feels no different from married life.

This is actually not good for Qing Sisi, since couples who live together without getting a marriage certificate are cheaper than divorced women if they break up.

Getting married without registering the marriage is demeaning oneself and shows a lack of self-respect. Qingma is well aware of this, which is why she asked Baiyu so many questions and made Baiyu agree to so many things.

Bai Yu knew all of this, which is why he said he would feel a lot of pressure. Although he would definitely not let Qing Sisi down, it didn't stop him from feeling pressured, after all, it was her mother's trust and entrustment.

Getting back to the point, if Bai Yu wants to find a place to stay quickly, there's no doubt she should go to Si Yu.

This girl has many empty apartments, and it's quite convenient for her to live in the same building.

Of course, Bai Yu's main consideration was that having the girls nearby would make it much easier for them to take care of her.

After all, Si Yu and Lin Ying are both pregnant now, and there's a high probability that Su Rongxue will also be pregnant in the future.

If the girls are closer together, it will be easier and more convenient for me to take care of them.

Bai Yu brought Qing Sisi to Si Yu, intending to arrange a place for Qing Sisi to stay.

At first, Si Yu didn't want to agree at all, but she couldn't resist Bai Yu's persistent pleading and the promise that after arranging things for Qing Sisi, she would take her to the hospital to check her health and the baby's condition.

In the end, no contract was signed, and the house was rented to Qing Sisi without any formalities.

Of course, Qing Sisi didn't lose a single penny of her money; in fact, it was even a little more expensive than what others paid.

Bai Yu could understand this. After all, it was bad enough that she brought a woman she didn't like with her, but she also had to rent her house. It would be strange if she was happy about that.

Qing Sisi was not someone to be trifled with either; after Siyu and the other party had reached an agreement, the girl no longer wanted to stay.

She felt disgusted and uncomfortable living in the house owned by Si Yu.

This meant Bai Yu had to go through a lot of pleading and sweet talk before finally getting the girl to agree.

This delay meant it was already afternoon, and Bai Yu didn't even have time for lunch.

In the end, all they could do was take Qing Sisi to Lin Ying's house for a meal.

As for why Bai Yu brought Qing Sisi to Lin Ying's house for a free meal instead of taking her out to eat alone, it was because he wanted Qing Sisi to get along better with Lin Ying.

After all, Lin Ying is the easiest girl to get along with among them. Lin Ying's personality is also the gentlest and most docile among them. Now that Qing Sisi is out alone, without any friends, her heart is at its emptier. This is the best time for her to get along with Lin Ying and become friends.

As for whether Lin Ying would have any objections or not, it's obvious she definitely wouldn't like Qing Sisi coming to her house.

Where would a girl like it if the man she loves brought another woman back to share their love?

The problem is that Lin Ying will listen to Bai Yu, and Bai Yu also knows how to prevent Lin Ying from engaging in negative behaviors such as developing a Qing Sisi mentality.

Don't say that Bai Yu is a really bad person; he's been taking advantage of Lin Ying's boundless favoritism towards him.

He was just hoping that life would become more promising, no, more hopeful.

The three of them sat at a table. Bai Yu was fine; he quite liked the food Lin Ying cooked and ate with relish.

But Qing Sisi didn't touch a single bite, and Lin Ying didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

After all, whether she likes it or not, the food she cooks is for Bai Yu, not to spoil this woman.

But what Bai Yu needs to do at this time is to get Lin Ying to take the initiative and put a piece of food on Qing Sisi's plate.

Although Lin Ying was very reluctant, and Bai Yu knew this, she would still listen to Bai Yu's opinion.

She reached out and picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, placing it in Qing Sisi's bowl. Then, Lin Ying lowered her head and continued eating her own food without saying a word.

But Qing Sisi didn't care about Lin Ying's feelings at all. She simply picked the food out of her bowl and threw it aside, her eyes filled with displeasure and disgust as she looked at Lin Ying.

Seeing this, Lin Ying wouldn't tolerate Qing Sisi. She reached out and pulled the dishes closest to Qing Sisi to Bai Yu's side, as if to say, "If you don't want to eat, then don't. Don't give me that crap. Nobody cares about you."

But how could Bai Yu ignore this situation? One of the women might get uncomfortable and start fighting later.

"Sisi, Lin Ying is actually a really nice person. I think it would be good to be friends with you..."

"Hurry up and eat, senior. We can go back after we finish eating. Don't talk."

This remark left Bai Yu speechless, mainly because Qing Sisi was genuinely angry.

When Lin Ying saw that Bai Yu was clearly very kind to Qing Sisi, but the girl was criticizing Bai Yu, she immediately couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and splashed the water in the glass next to her over, saying in the language of the island.

"If you're not going to eat, get out. Don't disturb Bai Yujun's meal. Who do you think you are?"

Chapter 183 I'm sorry, it took you so long to do it.

Qing Sisi could completely understand what Lin Ying was saying to her. This outburst and scolding instantly made the girl, who was already very uncomfortable because of the family matters, explode.

She reached out and picked up the plate of food, throwing it at Lin Ying. The plate grazed Lin Ying's cheek without hitting her directly, but the food still got all over her.

The porcelain plate slammed heavily against the wall with a loud thud.

Upon seeing the two women, they immediately started fighting without saying a word. It would be a miracle if Bai Yu could still sit and eat.

He quickly stood up, grabbed Lin Ying who was about to retaliate, and hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"Hey, hey, there's absolutely no need to make a fuss about this. Calm down, it's such a tiny little thing..."

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Qing Sisi picked up another plate of food and threw it at Lin Ying.

This time, the object actually hit Lin Ying's hand, leaving her, who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, covered in oil stains.

"Sisi, calm down."

Bai Yu released Lin Ying's hand and reached out to pull Qing Sisi, but as soon as he let go, a sharp slap landed on Qing Sisi's face, startling him.

Looking over, it was Lin Ying who had slapped him, without any warning whatsoever.

At this moment, Bai Yu knew very well that Lin Ying and Qing Sisi had brought the conflict to its extreme, and if things went wrong, it could turn into the same situation as when she first met Si Yu, where they might try to kill each other.

Standing between the two, Bai Yu spread her arms to separate them. Lin Ying was a little better off; she wouldn't try to break free from Bai Yu's blockade, but Qing Sisi wouldn't.

Seeing that this girl was completely unable to stop her from going up to hit Lin Ying, Bai Yu could only put on a stern face and roar.

"Enough! When will this end? Can't we just get along? I know I've brought you all this pain that you shouldn't have to endure. If you want me dead, why don't you just kill me? Why torture me with this constant fighting?"

Judging from her voice, Bai Yu seemed very angry, and was even expressing her grievances.

But he knew very well that he had no right to be harsh with the two women; he just wanted to stabilize the situation at that moment.

Hearing Bai Yu's angry roar and aggrieved expression, Lin Ying pursed her lips and lowered her head, while Qing Sisi also snapped out of her anger and desire to kill Lin Ying.

They were always thinking about how to be with Bai Yu, how to be alone with him or have more of his love, but they never considered that Bai Yu's current situation made it impossible for him to get rid of or back down.

The five women were like five bodies, binding his hands, feet, and neck. If they didn't move in the same direction, and even one of them went in the opposite direction, he would be torn apart.

The phrase "torn apart by five horses" sometimes really suits Bai Yu, because it perfectly describes how he can be divided into five parts, one for each person.

But they were all afraid of Bai Yu's death, because death meant the explanation of everything.

It is said that after being reborn, one will understand many things, and may even want to take revenge on those who deserve revenge and love those who deserve love.

But those who have truly loved and hated will still love and hate after being reborn. It's just that loving again after understanding life and death is different, because they understand that death and leaving oneself are two different concepts.

So now, although the five women are still very ill, none of them will think about killing Bai Yu to gain the right to be together forever, because they have all been reborn and understand that death does not bring happiness and joy, but endless emptiness and loneliness.

Even when she sometimes hates and wants to kill Bai Yu and end it all together, she still restrains herself from doing things that she can no longer bear.

As a result, everyone is currently in a state of suppressing their own mental illness.

Perhaps Bai Yu himself is also somewhat repressed. It's not that he would do anything cruel to the girls, but rather that he would do something to atone for his sins.

Take self-harm as an example. Under normal circumstances, Bai Yu would never have done such a thing, but now she chooses to harm herself to gain sympathy or atone for her sins because of the conflicts between the girls. This is a kind of pathological mentality.

Closer to home——

The two women stopped their attempts to take action because of Bai Yu's words.

With her head down, Lin Ying didn't dare to look at Bai Yu, just like a child who had made a mistake. Her long golden hair was draped behind her, and her white shirt was stained with a large oil stain.

Qing Sisi's clothes were also soaked, and her face and even her hair were covered in water, with strands of hair still dripping from her forehead.

Both women had their faults, but the biggest reason was Lin Ying's favoritism or excessive extremism, which led to this unnecessary fight.

Given the current situation, how could Bai Yu possibly allow the girls to live together? There would definitely be casualties within a day.

Therefore, he could allow the women to live close by so that it would be more convenient for him to see them and take care of them, but they absolutely could not live together, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Boss lady, why don't you go take a shower? I need to talk to Sisi alone. She's in a really bad mood today, and she might not be able to go home again. Can you forgive her?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying was not so magnanimous as to truly forgive Bai Yu from the bottom of her heart if he said he would forgive her. Even if she nodded on the surface, she would still feel uncomfortable inside.

How could Bai Yu not know this?

But some things require compromise. In this initial stage, Bai Yu will make Lin Ying compromise, and only this girl will listen to his choice and make a superficial compromise.

Of course, things can't go on like this forever. After all, everyone has a temper, and everyone has a temper. People who keep giving in will eventually reach their breaking point, so Bai Yu won't let Lin Ying suffer injustice forever.

However, given the current situation, she is the only one willing to cooperate, so he can only temporarily make her feel wronged.

Despite feeling wronged, Bai Yu will still try her best to make amends.

Turning around, Lin Ying headed towards the bathroom and quickly closed the door to take a shower.

At this moment, Qing Sisi remained standing motionless beside the dining table.

Seeing that she was still obviously angry, Bai Yu stopped talking nonsense and went forward to hug her.

"Sisi, I'm sorry. I promised your mother I wouldn't let you suffer. I'm sorry, please forgive me this once."

This really sounds like something a scumbag would say. Even though Bai Yu genuinely felt sorry for Qing Sisi, she still thought it was scumbag behavior.

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi couldn't help but start sobbing.

I may never be able to go home again, and my parents may no longer be a family. Now I've chosen to follow Bai Yu, and Bai Yu has so many people she can't be separated from. I'm not the only one.

Anyone would feel wronged and resentful in this situation.

Bai Yu gently patted Qing Sisi's back without saying a word, just patting her back and comforting her with a hug.
