Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 454: Marrying her was my decision at first sight
"Here's five million to leave my son." As soon as Mr. Bai finished speaking, the atmosphere froze.
He raised his chin slightly, looked at Shen Zhichu opposite him arrogantly, and waited for her next answer.
Shen Zhichu was stunned, as if she had not expected Father Bai to do this. She looked thoughtfully at the check for five million in front of her.
Five million for one Bai Qiujing, then she can buy many.
Shen Zhichu raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"
"What do you mean, that's all? Are you dissatisfied with the small amount of money? As expected, you are here for the Bai family's property..." Father Bai had a look that said, "I have seen through you, woman, a long time ago." His tone and eyes were full of disdain.
Bai Wanwan on the side has been looking at her phone. She was dragged here today by her father to support the occasion. She didn't want to ask about it, but after hearing Bai's father's "middle school" remarks, she couldn't help but sigh and put down her phone.
"Dad, you're too stingy. It should be 50 million at least."
Father Bai immediately retorted: "Is your brother worth so much money? Five million is already good." Besides, if Shen Zhichu insisted on agreeing to 50 million, wouldn't he be at a loss?
He is a businessman and will not do business at a loss.
Bai Wanwan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and held up five fingers to indicate, "Five million? My brother's worth is at least five hundred million. Besides, how much less is Shen Zhichu worth now than your five million? You're truly shameful. If Mom knew, I wouldn't even need you to kneel on the washboard, I'd just break your legs."
As if he thought of that scene, Father Bai shuddered and his hands unconsciously fell on his knees, shaking violently.
Because of nervousness, his pupils were slightly dilated, and when he looked at people, it was as if he was glaring. Bai's father leaned close to Bai Wanwan's ear and whispered, "Don't the novels say five million? It sounds so easy to say. Wanwan, we came here secretly today without telling your mother, so you must not tell him. Now what do you say we should do? Raise the price on the spot?"
You're even raising the price on the spot. Do you think this is a vegetable market?
Shen Zhichu pretended not to see the father and daughter in front of him whispering.
"It was just a test, to see what they would say later. You've already taken out the check, so I think they know what you're up to."
After the father and daughter finished their discussion, Father Bai looked at Shen Zhichu again, while Bai Wanwan lowered her head and continued to play with her phone.
Shen Zhichu stood up and brought the freshly brewed tea to Father Bai.
Father Bai said with a resolute look: "I'm telling you, it's no use trying to bribe me with a cup of tea."
As expected, they are biological children. Their tempers are exactly the same. Shen Zhichu smiled and said, "Uncle, you think too much. I didn't think of bribing you. Wanwan, there are drinks at home. What do you want to drink?"
"Any Coke?"
"have."
Shen Zhichu went to the kitchen and got a can of Coke and handed it to her.
"Thanks."
Bai Wanwan sat quietly aside as usual, looking very well behaved.
Shen Zhichu sat back in his previous seat, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant, "Uncle Bai, let's talk about the relationship between Qiu Jing and me. I'm his girlfriend, and he's my boyfriend. We're together for the sake of people. If you insist on using money to measure our relationship, then..."
Shen Zhichu's gentle expression changed. He picked up the check on the coffee table, filled in a few numbers with a pen, then put it on the coffee table and turned to push it to Bai's father.
"If you want me to leave your son for five million, then I will give you nine hundred and ninety-five million in the hope of buying your son's life and spending the rest of my life with him."
Father Bai opened his mouth slightly. Is this woman crazy or mentally ill?
"How funny! Nine hundred and ninety-five million, can you really come up with that much? You're young, but you're so arrogant! You're so shameless and don't know what you're talking about!"
"You might not have investigated me clearly, so let me reintroduce myself. I'm Shen Zhichu, the executive director of [AW Group]. I can still come up with a mere 900 million."
"A.W Group? You are..." How could Father Bai not know about this group? This company has the greatest influence in the business world recently. First, it easily acquired a company worth hundreds of millions, and its stock price has never fallen since the beginning. Father Bai has done a valuation, and [A.W Group] should be worth around 10 billion, which is indeed something that can be taken out.
One billion is nothing in the eyes of Bai's father, but it is not simple when it is under Shen Zhichu's name. You know, Shen Zhichu is only in his early twenties, and what was he doing at the age of twenty?
This little girl has a bright future.
"Mr. Bai, are you going to do this deal?"
"If you really give me that much money, your company will be in jeopardy."
Chen Zhichu didn't care at all: "I can make money again, but there is only one Bai Qiujing in the world, I won't lose out." She could use all her belongings to stabilize her relationship with Bai Qiujing.
Father Bai was speechless for a moment. He originally thought that Shen Zhichu was a "green tea bitch" in novels who was after money, but she could create more money on her own and did not need to rely on men at all.
Bai Wanwan, who was silently looking at her phone, also looked at Shen Zhichu in shock.
"Are you really the president of A.W Group?"
"There's no need for me to joke with you about this. With your Bai family's capabilities, you can easily investigate it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Qiu Jing."
The answer is already known. Bai Wanwan looked at her father and said, "Dad, let's go. My brother and mom both like her. What's the point if you don't want to?"
Now it’s not a question of willingness or not. Father Bai feels that his bastard son has gotten a great bargain and is actually worth so much money.
Bai Wanwan turned to Chen Zhichu again and said apologetically: "Well... my dad's brain is not very good. He reads novels and watches cheesy videos all day long and his brain has become stupid. Don't mind, I will take him back now..." As she spoke, Bai Wanwan did not forget to hand the check back to Chen Zhichu.
"Keep it. My mom is the boss of the Bai family. My dad doesn't have the final say. My mom really likes you. Don't take today's incident to heart. Just be good to my brother..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of a door opening outside. Shen Zhichu looked over and thought that this time it must be Bai Qiujing who came back.
Sure enough, when Bai Qiujing came in and saw the people sitting in the living room, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" Then he looked at the check on the coffee table and understood.
Without saying a word, he took out his cell phone and called Bai's mother.
The call went through, and Bai Qiujing called out, "Mom."
Father Bai reacted instantly and rushed to Bai Qiujing as fast as he could, grabbing his wrist and gritting his teeth, "What are you doing, little brat?"
"I was also wondering what you were doing at my house? Taking money and asking my girlfriend to leave while I wasn't around?"
"I didn't, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Bai Qiujing didn't care how ugly Bai's father's face was. His cell phone was on speaker, and everything they said was heard by Bai's mother.
"Bai Zhenqing! Get back here!"
"Wife, please listen to my explanation..."
“Beep, beep…”
Father Bai glared at Bai Qiujing, so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Why are you glaring at me? Do you dare to say that you came here with the check not to make Zhichu leave me?"
Father Bai released his hand and pointed at his nose: "Son, you are so cruel!"
In this family, only Father Bai likes to stir up trouble because he finds it boring. Bai Qiujing doesn't want anyone to affect Shen Zhichu's mood, so he solves everything that can be solved at once without dragging his feet.
"Dad." Bai Qiujing suddenly became serious. "Marrying her was my decision the moment I saw her. From the moment I knew her name, I even thought of a name for our child."
He had never wanted to be alone so much before, he wanted to stay by her side even if it meant giving up his life.
"You love my mom, you know what it's like." I can't live without her.
Father Bai fell silent, his frown relaxed, and he stared at Bai Qiujing intently, and it was obvious that he was more serious than ever before.
"I..." Father Bai opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be pinched and he couldn't make a sound. He hesitated and turned to look at Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu stood up and met his gaze, without a trace of hesitation or retreat in his eyes.
"Whatever... whatever you want, I don't care..." Father Bai couldn't bring himself to apologize. After knowing the capital in Shen Zhichu's hands, he knew that he had misunderstood her, but he really couldn't bring himself to apologize.
"Wanwan, let's go back."
Bai Wanwan carried her small bag and ran forward two steps. Suddenly she thought of something and took out her cell phone and ran to Shen Zhichu.
"Chujie, can I take a picture with you?"
Before Shen Zhichu could say anything, Bai Qiujing started to shoo people away: "Why are you taking pictures? Go back."
"I don't!" Bai Wanwan looked at Shen Zhichu with her round eyes, her pink lips slightly raised, waiting for Shen Zhichu's answer.
Chen Zhichu couldn't refuse at all. She seldom spoke to Bai Wanwan these days. Bai Wanwan liked playing with her mobile phone. She usually sat on the sofa or lay on the bed playing with her mobile phone for the whole day.
Shen Zhichu didn't know much about this little girl, but who doesn't like a beautiful girl?
Hearing that Bai Wanwan wanted to take a photo with her, Shen Zhichu agreed: "Okay."
Bai Wanwan couldn't hide her happiness, and her fair face was flushed. She took out her mobile phone, opened the camera, and found a suitable angle to take a photo of her and Shen Zhichu.
Bai Wanwan admired the photos with satisfaction and put them back into her bag contentedly.
Bai Qiujing walked up and pulled Bai Wanwan's collar to the side: "The photos are done, go back with Dad, and don't disturb our time alone in the future."
"What do you care!" Bai Wanwan looked reluctant, and her originally calm face suddenly showed reluctance. She broke free from Bai Qiujing's hand, rushed towards Shen Zhichu and hugged him.
"Chujie."
Shen Zhichu was caught off guard when being hugged. She was not used to someone suddenly hugging her so closely. Her body was stiff and she had no time to react. She heard the sound of breathing by her ears.
Bai Wanwan whispered in her ear: "Sister Chu, if my brother makes you angry one day, can you consider giving me a Jihui?"
Opportunity? What opportunity?
Bai Wanwan let go of her and winked at her. Bai Qiujing instinctively felt something was wrong, so he pulled Bai Wanwan away and dragged her out along with her father.
