"She should be thanked for the 20 million! She has already taken the money, which means she has sold her body and dignity. Why are you still associating with a woman who would give up everything for money?!"
Bai Yeqing had been looking relaxed, but when he heard this, his brows furrowed and his expression became more gloomy. He didn't explain, but just said in a cold voice: "You want to say more than this, right? Tell me all at once, and I'll leave after you finish listening."
"What's your attitude?" The old man was furious. "Let me tell you, Song Guoyao just called me. If you still want to rescue your uncle, this engagement ceremony will be turned into a wedding banquet! I don't care whether you agree or not, it's settled. We will go to meet our in-laws tomorrow!"
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Bai Yeqing agreed immediately, and the old man was stunned. Marriage is different from engagement. It's not surprising that he agreed to engagement before. But I didn't expect him to agree to marriage so readily.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave first." As if he didn't notice the surprise on the old man's face, or he didn't care at all, Bai Ye stood up and straightened his clothes.
The old man had a lot of words in mind to scold him, but he was choked back by his promise. In the end, he just stared at him suspiciously for a few times, but in the end he couldn't see through his thoughts, so he waved his hand irritably, "Go, go, go!"
Bai Ye stood up and left. After leaving the study, his expression became much darker.
The old man stood there, watching his back, and even after he left, he still felt doubtful. He always felt that there was something strange! When did his son's temper become so easy to manipulate
… … …
It was just past eight o'clock when Bai Yeqing went downstairs.
The old lady had been waiting at the staircase in fear. The soundproofing in the house was quite good, so she couldn't hear clearly what the father and son said upstairs. As soon as her son came down, she hurried to greet him.
As soon as she saw the scratch on his face, she felt heartbroken. While scolding her, she called her daughter, "Your father is such a jerk! He has been retired for so many years, but his hot temper has not changed at all. He still treats you like a soldier in the army! Su Ye, bring me some medicine quickly."
"Mom, it's just a minor injury." Bai Ye raised his hand and wiped away the blood on his face. Compared with the other injuries he and Su Ye had suffered over the years, this injury could not even be called an injury.
Bai Suye naturally thought so too, so she didn't move at all, but just looked at him with concern.
The old lady said, "I am old now, and I am different from when I was young. When I was young, your father was injured and couldn't get out of bed, but I was not afraid. But now... I feel uneasy when anything happens to you. Don't be too picky with your father. He just wanted to save your uncle. After all, it was because of him that your uncle suffered so much in prison for so many years, and it ruined half of his life."
The old lady was getting more and more sad. Bai Yeqing glanced at Bai Suye, who came to her senses and put her arm around the old lady's shoulders, "Mom, don't worry about it. The food is on the table. Yeqing, stay and have dinner with us."
Bai Yeqing glanced at the time and shook his head, "I have something else to do. I won't eat anymore."
"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Otherwise, how can your body endure?" Bai Suye pulled him.
Bai Yeqing looked at her and lowered his voice, "I have an appointment with Xingchen."
Bai Suye was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice and asked worriedly, "You two are still meeting at this time. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
He gave her a reassuring look and said, "Mom, I'm leaving now. I'll come visit you and father another day."
Bai Yeqing hugged the old lady, and the old lady said, "Take good care of my grandson. You must bring him back with you next time you come back."
As soon as he left, the old lady asked her daughter, "Who did he just say he had an appointment with? He refused to have dinner with me, so you have to go and accompany him."
Bai Suye curled her lips and said, "Just some political friends."
…
As soon as Bai Yeqing came out, Leng Fei and the others were already waiting for him. They opened the car door and waited for him to get in.
He looked unhappy and only gave Leng Fei three words, "Go to the hotel."
… … …
Bai Yeqing leaned against the car, always thinking of what the old man had just said about Xia Xingchen, feeling a little irritated. She was not that kind of person, but because of his mistakes, she took too many scapegoats.
He took the phone in his hand and took a look. It was already past dinner time, but she still hadn't called or sent any messages. It was exactly the same as the previous two days.
Apart from the old lady and Su Ye in his family, he had hardly ever had any close contact with any women, let alone understanding women's minds. So, he really couldn't figure out whether all women were as obedient as her and could completely ignore him.
I don't know why. I know she doesn't want to cause trouble for me, but looking at the quiet phone, I still feel unhappy.
If you are really worried and miss someone so much, how can you bear to ignore them
When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had typed two simple words on my phone and sent them out. And it was to her.
The two words that were sent were "Are you there?"
He looked at the screen, frowning, a little anxious, moving his finger, wanting to withdraw it, but finally gave up. Withdrawing it seemed to be a bit of a cover-up.
"Cold coffee." He called.
"Sir." Leng Fei was sitting in the front seat, wearing a Bluetooth headset. Hearing the voice from the headset, he immediately asked cautiously, "What do you want?"
"Don't be nervous. It's nothing." Bai Yeqing looked at his phone and said nothing. Leng Fei waited quietly over there. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear any sound from this side, so he asked, "Sir?"
“… Never mind. It’s okay.”
Bai Yeqing checked the time. It had been a minute since he sent the message, but she hadn't replied yet.
Hearing him say that everything was fine, Leng Fei relaxed his vigilance. However, a minute and a half later, someone's voice sounded again in the Bluetooth headset. "Leng Fei."
"Yes!" he cheered up.
"...Are women nowadays all very obedient?" He hesitated and considered before asking, feeling a little awkward.
"What?" Leng Fei thought he must have heard it wrong. In such a desperate time, the president still had the mind to study women
Bai Yeqing was quite uncomfortable with his tone, so he couldn't help but speak in a more aggressive tone, "I say, are women nowadays so sensible that they can ignore everything!"
