No matter how much he doted on this adopted daughter who had done him a favor, he could not ignore the entire Bai family. It had to be said that Lu Ziyang's warning did work.
When Bai's mother saw her husband's gloomy expression, her heart sank, and she realized how serious the consequences of her momentary verbal pleasure would be.
Bai Qingqing lowered her eyes, a tear hanging in the corner of her eye, about to fall, as if she was trying hard to hold it back.
Seeing that the current atmosphere was too tense to continue the conversation and fearing further complications, Mr. Bai left the office with his family without saying a word.
Lu Ziyang's face was tense, but his gaze relaxed as the three people left.
God knows, when he heard Mrs. Bai mention Chen Jing, he was so angry that he almost couldn't control himself and took action.
Downstairs of Yuanyang Company, Father Bai walked hurriedly with a resolute back.
Bai Qingqing was good at reading people's expressions, and she knew that her father was angry.
In fact, the Bai family was not unaware of her hanging around like this, but the guilt in their hearts was too great to be ignored.
Bai Qingqing held her mother's arm and huddled tightly beside her mother.
Bai's mother had no daughters, and she never treated her adopted daughters differently.
Seeing her daughter's cautious look, she gently patted the back of her daughter's hand and soothed the uneasy Bai Qingqing with a gentle tone.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid. Your father is not angry. He is just used to being serious."
When Bai Qingqing heard what her mother said, the tears that had been hanging in her eyes flowed down her fair and delicate face at the right time.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's because of me that you and Dad have suffered so much."
Mother Bai looked at her daughter with eyes full of heartache and almost cried with her daughter.
Father Bai felt inexplicably irritated when he heard the mother and daughter crying behind him.
He turned his head and was about to blurt out a question, but when he met Bai Qingqing's pitiful and tearful eyes, he suddenly fell silent.
He opened and closed his mouth, and then sighed deeply.
"Qingqing, you've seen it too. Lu Ziyang doesn't have you in his heart at all. In my opinion, you shouldn't be too obsessed. In the past two years, Lu Ziyang has made up a lot for you, both financially and professionally. Since he hasn't paid attention to you for such a long time, you might as well give up, turn around and look for someone else who loves you."
Father Bai's words were half from his heart, and half out of his responsibility to the Bai family.
He had just thought about it for a long time. Although he loved his daughter, no matter how much he loved her, it could not compare to the past of the company.
He admitted that he was also selfish, but he felt that this selfishness was right.
When Bai Qingqing heard her father advising her to give up, she forgot to cry and just stood there in a daze.
Bai's mother knew that her husband always had his own ideas about things. Since he said it was impossible, there was basically no possibility at all.
But when she turned around and saw her daughter's distraught look, she felt sorry for her.
"Lu Ziyang originally owed us, so why did he ask us to take a step back in the end?"
Although Bai's mother knew it clearly, she still muttered a few words without restraint.
Father Bai's eyes were sharp, shooting towards him like a sword.
"If you can't speak, then don't speak. Don't you think you've caused me enough trouble?"
This sentence was said to Bai's mother.
But Bai Qingqing felt that it was a veiled criticism no matter how she listened to it.
Bai's mother felt humiliated and wronged when she was scolded in front of her daughter.
Bai Qingqing saw all of this, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
When I looked up again, everything was hazy again.
"Dad, Mom, I know you've done enough for me, but I swore since I was a child that I would never marry anyone except Brother Ziyang. I won't bother you anymore in the future. I'll wait until the day when Brother Ziyang is willing to marry me."
Every word the girl said was full of grievance, but also revealed her concern for them.
Bai's mother was so moved after hearing this that she hugged Bai Qingqing and cried and said she was sorry.
Mr. Bai was also touched at first, thinking that his daughter had grown up, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
He couldn't help but fix his gaze on Bai Qingqing, with inquiry in his eyes.
Mr. Bai is a typical businessman. He loves his family, but he is always suspicious of them.
"By the way, is there any news about Jingming recently?"
This question was asked to Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing raised her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The eye sockets, washed by tears, are red and carry a sense of fragility.
She shook her head, her voice low,
"No, my brother hasn't contacted me since he left a message two years ago. Maybe it's because of Sister Chen Jing. After all, my brother cares about her so much."
Chen Jing?
This name sounds so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere before.
Father Bai narrowed his eyes and thought carefully in his mind.
"Chen Jing is Brother Ziyang's deceased ex-wife."
Bai Qingqing was very considerate and reminded him.
Father Bai suddenly came to his senses. Yes, it was Jingjing that Lu Ziyang had just mentioned.
What, she has a relationship with her own son?
Thinking of this, Father Bai's expression returned to seriousness.
"What's her relationship to your brother?"
Bai Qingqing twisted her hands, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Just tell me what I'm asking you to say. There's nothing to hide from Dad."
Bai Qingqing seemed to be in a very difficult situation, and finally, as if she had made a great decision, she opened her teeth slightly.
"My brother met Brother Ziyang and Sister Chen Jing before they divorced. As for how they met, I'm not sure, but it seems that my brother fell in love with her at first sight and was deeply in love with her. Even though he knew she was still divorced, he still often asked her out for dinner, drinks, and sent her home, to the point that..."
The more Bai Qingqing spoke, the lower her voice became.
"Go on!"
Father Bai gave a cold order.
"So much so that many people outside were saying that my brother was the third party, which led to Brother Ziyang and his wife getting divorced."
As expected, after he finished speaking, Mr. Bai's face turned more than one degree darker, even darker than the bottom of a pot that had been burning for a year.
He cared so much about the Bai family, how could he allow his son to do such a corrupt thing.
No wonder Lu Ziyang was determined not to marry his daughter. It turned out that all this was revenge.
After figuring everything out, Father Bai's eyes became cold again.
"Qingqing, go back and prepare well and take good care of yourself. I will definitely find a way for Lu Ziyang to marry you!"
In the eyes of Bai's father, only by letting Lu Ziyang marry Bai Qingqing can the rumors from the outside world be dispelled. After all, for the Bai family, being in opposition to the Lu family is not a good thing.
However, he couldn't just blindly believe it. He should arrange for someone to investigate.
Bai Qingqing achieved her goal, so she naturally stopped pestering him.
The driver drove the car over, and the family of three got in the car peacefully as if nothing had happened.
Everyone who passes by will praise him.
The Bai family's relationships are truly the simplest and cleanest among the wealthy families.
