Future News: My Phone Mutated

These were all Wei Xinyue's heartfelt words but she didn't say it out loud. She could only convey the meaning she wanted to express to her daughter through her eyes.

Ling Xuewei actually understood, but she deliberately pretended not to. She silently lowered her head and ate the dishes, not taking her mother's advice at all.

Wei Xinyue was so anxious that she could only speak up personally.

She said to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, you've cured my illness. I'm really grateful to you. It's a pity that Auntie doesn't know how to drink. How about this? let Xuewei toast to you on my behalf. Take it as her thanking you on my behalf."

After saying that, she turned to Ling Xuewei and said, "Xuewei, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and thank Lin Bai on my behalf!"

When Wei Xinyue brought up this reason, Ling Xuewei had no way to openly reject it. She could only brace herself and raise her wine glass to say to Lin Bai, "Thank you so much for today. Here's to you. Make yourself at home."

Wei Xinyue quickly said, "Don't make yourself at home. Drink up, drink up. Otherwise, how can you show your sincerity? Lin Bai, you're a boy. Your alcohol tolerance should be pretty good, right? Xuewei has already downed her glass. Why don't you drink with her as well?"

Ling Xuewei frowned and said softly, "Mom, how can we toast with red wine?"

Wei Xinyue glared at her. "We can because I say so. Isn't red wine and white wine all wine? As long as it's wine, you can toast and chug it."

"Come, come, come. Lin Bai, drink this glass. Treat it as mine and Xuewei's toast to you. Our sentiment for you are all in the wine."

"Little Xue, quickly refill Lin Bai's glass."

Lin Bai politely took a sip, put down his glass, and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's getting late. I have to go back."

Wei Xinyue said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven't finished eating yet."

Lin Bai still maintained his polite and restrained smile and said, "My girlfriend is still waiting for me at school. Sorry, excuse me."

After saying that, he nodded at Ling Xuewei and left the dining table.

Ling Xuewei hurriedly stood up as well. "I'll send you off."

She sent Lin Bai to the door and said softly with an apologetic tone, "I didn't expect my mother to be like this. I'm sorry."

Lin Bai smiled magnanimously and said, "It's okay but Auntie seems to have misunderstood something. It's better for you to explain it to her clearly."

Ling Xuewei nodded awkwardly. She watched Lin Bai leave before returning to the dining room.

Wei Xinyue sat at the table in a daze, as if she was still digesting what Lin Bai had just said.

When she saw Ling Xuewei return, she asked in a questioning tone, "Lin Bai has a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Ling Xuewei nodded.

Wei Xinyue's expression was obviously much glummer.

Then, she did not give up and continued to ask, "What does his girlfriend do? How old is she? Is she as beautiful as you? Is she as rich as you?"

This series of questions made Ling Xuewei not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Mom, what do you want to do? He already has a girlfriend. Don't tell me you want me to steal him away?"

Wei Xinyue's expression changed and said, "What do you mean steal him away? Don't make it sound so bad! She's just his girlfriend, and they're not married. Why can't you fight for it?"

"Who says that you can't break up when you're in a relationship? Can't he get together with someone else after a breakup?"

Ling Xuewei said, "I won't do such a wicked thing."

Wei Xinyue said, "I didn't ask you to snatch him away! Lin Bai is still young now. How strong can puppy love be? Who knows if they'll break up after some conflict?"

"Listen to me. Continue to maintain a good relationship with Lin Bai. Treat him well when you should. If he breaks up with his girlfriend in the future or has a conflict, the first person he'll think of will be you! I've been through this before. I won't lie to you!"

Ling Xuewei was speechless when she heard these words.

Forget about other things. With her mother's failed marriage, how could she have the courage to say that she had been through this before?

However, she was, after all, her mother's child, so it was not appropriate for her to contradict her mother.

She could only listen to Wei Xinyue quietly and then turn a deaf ear to her words.

"Mom, if you don't eat now, the dishes will get cold."

Wei Xinyue finally realized that she was too busy setting up her daughter and Lin Bai to eat.

It would be a pity if the table full of delicacies were to be left to turn cold just like that.

Thus, she finally stopped talking nonsense and buried her head to stuff her face with food.

Ling Xuewei finally heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that she was finally free.

Unfortunately, she rejoiced too soon.

After dinner, Wei Xinyue started nagging again and continued to ask Ling Xuewei lots of questions.

The topic of conversation was nothing more than how long she and Lin Bai had known each other and whether they had feelings for each other, and what exactly did Lin Bai's girlfriend look like.

Ling Xuewei was annoyed by the questions.

"Mom, I really don't know Lin Bai very well. I just met him today. And regarding the fact that he has a girlfriend. I just learned about it not long ago, and I haven't seen that girl's photo."

"Besides, I really can't bring myself to ruin someone else's relationship. Please don't ask me any more questions, okay?"

Seeing that she was getting really annoyed, Wei Xinyue nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't ask anymore. I won't ask anymore."

Unfortunately, in less than half an hour, she couldn't help but start nagging again.

"Actually, I think Lin Bai should be interested in you. You didn't notice how he had been staring straight at you when you were talking to him in the room just now. It was as if his eyes were glued to you. If he isn't interested in you, why would he stare at you like that?"

Ling Xuewei said, "Mom, don't make things up yourself. When did he stare at me? Why didn't I know?"

Wei Xinyue said, "It was when I just woke up. You were too busy talking at that time and didn't notice, but I saw it clearly from the side."

"He stared at your face for a long time! He didn't even move his eyes away! I reckon that his girlfriend is definitely not as pretty as you, or else he wouldn't have stared at you so intently."

Wei Xinyue's words somewhat made sense, so much so that Ling Xuewei couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion in her heart.

However, she didn't know that Lin Bai wasn't looking at Ling Xuewei at all, but at the records of her life that appeared above her head.

At that time, Lin Bai had just received a notification from the system. He knew that his Divine-Level Man-Discerning Technique had evolved to an enhanced version, so he tested it on Ling Xuewei.

Then, he was dazzled by the densely packed records of her life.

Lin Bai himself didn't expect that such an unintentional act would actually be noticed and misinterpreted by Wei Xinyue, who then completely misunderstood his intentions.

Wei Xinyue was so persistent in wanting to set the two of them up. Other than feeling that Lin Bai was well-equipped in all aspects, part of the reason was that Lin Bai had been staring at Ling Xuewei, causing her to mistakenly think that Lin Bai was interested in her daughter.
