"You know, an act of saving someone's life must be repaid with one's body!" This is what Song Yan'er said the first time she met Xiao Yang!
From then on, whether it was me...
Thinking of Shen Meng's pregnancy, Bai Zihua felt a little uneasy!
However, he still walked towards the front hall with a blank expression!
Oh my, this isn't the master and mistress, it's clearly everyone except Chen Meng's family here!
"Xiao Hua, you're back! Have a seat! Your father has something to tell you!"
Bai Zihua gave a soft snort:
"Stepmother, please tell me what's on your mind first. I need to go back and see Chenmeng!"
Madam Bai became angry as soon as Bai Zihua mentioned Chenmeng:
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. Look at the kind of wife you've chosen! Today, she actually embarrassed your sister-in-law in front of so many elegant ladies. Isn't she just a doorman at Zui Hong Yan? So arrogant! Anyone who didn't know better would think she owned Zui Hong Yan!"
Bai Zihua snorted coldly:
"Then what!"
Madam Bai assumed that Bai Zihua agreed with her, and looked at Bai Zihua with even greater arrogance:
"Make her apologize to your sister-in-law in front of those wealthy ladies, and then have her settle your sister-in-law's debts at Zui Hongyan!"
Bai Zihua: Ha, what a big face!
Then, Sister-in-law Bai coughed lightly, and Madam Bai, looking slightly uncomfortable, continued:
“Chen Meng’s personality is indeed not suitable for being the manager of Zui Hongyan. You should have Chen Meng talk to the owner of Zui Hongyan. Or have your sister-in-law go. Your sister-in-law is very good at accounting and is definitely better than Chen Meng!”
Bai Zihua remained calm as he looked at everyone: "Are you finished?"
Mrs. Bai thought for a moment:
"Okay, that's about it!"
Bai Zihua looked at his father sitting in the high seat:
"Father, do you think so too?"
Master Bai coughed unnaturally:
“Your stepmother has a good eye for people. Since she said that Chenmeng is not suitable to be the manager of Zui Hongyan, then she probably really isn’t suitable! It’s good to replace her with one of our own!”
Bai Zihua chuckled self-deprecatingly. He should have known better. This was his status in the family. He was a burden to his wife and daughter and was not valued at all!
I should have figured this out a long time ago! Now that Shen Meng is pregnant, no one cares about her, all she gets are these unpleasant people and things!
It seems it's time for me to make a decision!
"Father, let's split up the family! Or just separate me out. If you're still not satisfied, you can remove me from the Bai family genealogy! Tomorrow I'll take Chenmeng out to live, so I won't be an eyesore here!"
Master Bai slammed his hand on the table beside him:
"Are you threatening me? Just for something this trivial?"
Bai Zihua chuckled softly:
“A small matter? In Father’s eyes, what is a big matter? My marriage is a small matter, the birth of my daughter is a small matter, will it be a small matter when I die?”
Master Bai frowned:
"Since that's what you think, I won't say anything. But you need to think this through. The Bai family is not what it used to be. Are you really willing to give up your future for a woman? I don't believe my son is such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong and is so idle!"
Bai Zihua looked at his gloating elder and second elder brothers beside him: What a pair of people who can't distinguish right from wrong and don't do their jobs properly!
"It's different from before, after all, we have a nephew who will become the emperor! Of course it's different from before! I've made up my mind, Father, you can decide what to do! Chenmeng is still waiting for me, so I'll go back first!"
Without paying any attention to the sound of the teacup falling inside, he walked straight out!
Arriving at my little courtyard and looking at everything before me: Yes, I shouldn't have had any illusions in the first place!
Then, seeing the dim light in her room, she felt a warmth in her heart. She realized that she was probably the only one who truly cared about her from the bottom of her heart.
He gently pushed open the door and saw Shen Meng sleeping on the table. A slight smile appeared on his lips. Just as he bent down to carry her to bed, Shen Meng opened her eyes!
"My dear husband, you're back! I missed you so much! How are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Shen Meng only learned from Bai Zihua's letter that he was also sick! If he hadn't repeatedly emphasized in his letter that he was already better, and if Song Yan'er hadn't gone to see him, Shen Meng would have gone to find him long ago!
Seeing him alive and well in front of her this time, Shen Meng was incredibly excited!
Bai Zihua smiled helplessly. Shen Meng has always been this carefree and straightforward person. She always says what she thinks without ever thinking!
Bai Zihua couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the last time he was pregnant with his daughter!
Looks like I still have a long way to go!
However, upon seeing Shen Meng's gaunt face and excited eyes, Bai Zihua's gloomy mood from just moments before vanished instantly!
"I'm fine! Don't worry, I'll stay with you. You and our daughter are waiting for me, how could I bear to have anything happen to you!"
Despite her usual carefree and boastful demeanor, which makes her seem very tough when she's talking big, she immediately chickens out when it really comes down to it!
Shen Meng looked at Bai Zihua somewhat embarrassed.
"Really? Then you're not allowed to leave me again!"
Bai Zihua reached out and embraced Chen Meng:
"Yes, really! I'll never leave you again!"
Shen Meng felt a sweet warmth in her heart, as if coated with honey. Suddenly, she remembered something and abruptly stood up:
"My lord, there is something I need to tell you!"
Bai Zihua's heart tightened as he watched Shen Meng suddenly stand up.
"Be careful! What's the rush? Don't forget you're pregnant! Even though you're over three months along, your health hasn't been very good, so you have to be extra careful!"
Chen Meng stuck out her tongue. Okay, she really forgot that there was still a baby kicking in her belly!
He slowly sat back down in the chair.
“Husband, I had a fight with your sister-in-law today. She came to my shop and told me that your stepmother wanted me to step down so she could become the manager of Zui Hongyan. She even brought a few women to Zui Hongyan to pick out things, saying that once she became the manager, she would give them away!”
I was so angry! Seriously, she ruined my good mood because you were coming back. I made her settle all her previous debts at Zui Hongyan and told her that if she wanted to be the manager of Zui Hongyan, she should dream on!
Seeing her pale face made me feel instantly better! It's true, Yan'er was absolutely right, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest!
How can they be so shameless!
Bai Zihua looked at Shen Meng's angry face when she mentioned them, and she found it exceptionally cute!
Bai Zihua pinched Chen Meng's face:
"Don't worry about them, do whatever you want. I've already told them that we're moving out tomorrow and won't live here anymore. We'll move to a place not far from my cousin!"
"Then you can do whatever makes you comfortable. You can even go to your cousin's house for meals every day. Don't you love your aunt's cooking the most?"
Chen Meng looked pleasantly surprised:
"Really? That's wonderful! But when did you tell them? Have they agreed yet?"
Bai Zihua looked helpless:
"You're asking so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer?"
It's only natural to be lost in dreams:
"Answer them one by one!"
Bai Zihua...
All right!
