"Sign it!"
Tang Jingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, and it seemed that he had no intention of even sitting down to drink tea.
Bai Lu frowned, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. Everything was fine before, how could he suddenly change his mind? She knew very well that Fang Le and Zhou Yao would listen to Tang Jingyuan.
And Tang Jingyuan...
"That's what my sister-in-law meant, right?"
She bit her lip and her eyes turned red the moment she opened her mouth, but Tang Jingyuan remained indifferent.
"It has nothing to do with her."
"Yeah?"
Bai Lu smiled bitterly: "I knew that even if I apologized, my sister-in-law would still not forgive me. Brother Jingyuan, how about you tell me what I should do to truly gain her forgiveness. I really... just want to start over. Sister-in-law, why does she always pick on me?"
The sound of Bai Lu sobbing could be heard in the tea room. She was crying and telling about her grievances.
"I know I didn't make any progress in the past, but now I'm trying to build my own career. Is that wrong? My sister-in-law isn't the only one with ambition. Don't I deserve a chance to change? The teahouse is doing well, and I thought you would all be happy for me. I never thought my sister-in-law would suspect there was something wrong with the teahouse."
She took a deep breath and approached Tang Jingyuan with a determined look.
"Brother Jingyuan, so now you don't believe me either, right? I've already told my sister-in-law about this. If she doesn't believe me, she can take the teahouse's supplies for testing. If there's really a problem, I'll let her deal with it. But she shouldn't discredit all my efforts in front of you without any evidence. Do you know how much effort I've put in to run the teahouse well?"
Tang Jingyuan listened to her accusation quietly, and after she had vented all her emotions, he said in a cold voice: "After that, can you sign it?"
Bai Lu was speechless. She had just said so much, but he didn't hear a single word.
"Brother Jingyuan! I..."
"When did I ever say it was Ningning who said that? I'm not so foolish as to let others influence my decision. I have things to do. If I sign, it won't interfere with your business."
Bai Lu opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
After a while, she gritted her teeth, a ruthless look flashing in her eyes: "What if I just don't sign? At the beginning, we agreed that the money was for you to invest in the teahouse, just as everyone's shares. Now, how can you go back on your word?"
"Are you sure?"
Tang Jingyuan lowered his eyes, and the powerful aura of the superior suddenly made Bai Lu feel a little breathless.
"If I don't sign, you can't do anything to me."
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips: "Are you sure?"
Although she was smiling, Bai Lu felt her scalp tingling and she took two steps back unconsciously.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"If I really resort to some trickery, it will only hurt the brotherhood between your brother and me. Bailu, don't force me."
Bai Lu's breathing stagnated, and she understood Tang Jingyuan's intention. If he continued to insist on this, they would become enemies whenever they met.
She doesn't want to!
Suppressing her inner resentment, Bai Lu gritted her teeth and walked step by step towards the documents on the tea table.
With a trembling hand, she gripped the pen tightly, signed her name beside it, and handed the document to him.
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Tang Jingyuan took a quick look, confirmed that there was no problem, and put the things away.
"Bai Lu, a girl can be ambitious, but she shouldn't lose herself in the pursuit of making money. I hope you can calm down and think clearly about what you are doing now. From now on, you will take care of yourself. Your brother has an honest reputation, and we respect him as a man. Please don't ruin him."
Bai Lu didn't respond. She watched Tang Jingyuan pass by her, but she was still reluctant to leave. Her eyes followed his back. As he disappeared from her sight, she no longer hid the cold smile on her face.
Destroyed him?
"Haha! You are the ones who truly ruined my brother. Tang Jingyuan, this is your own choice. If that's the case, don't blame me. One day, I will make you kneel before me and beg me like a dog. Hahaha!"
The vicious eyes seemed out of place with Bai Lu's pure face, and the woman's wanton whispering coming from the tea room made people feel creepy.
After a while, her voice came from the room: "Luo Ming!"
Luo Ming, who was standing at the door, moved and turned to go in. After a while, the unbearable sound came from the room again.
Through the gap in the curtains, Bai Lu pressed herself against the glass window, feeling the impact from behind her, her eyes fixed on the man's back as he got into the car. The man followed her gaze and saw the black Maybach slowly departing, but the man beneath him still hadn't looked away, his movements becoming increasingly frantic.
"Baby! Look at me..."
Tang Jingyuan leaned against the car, hesitating whether to remind Bai Yue.
Lin Tao couldn't help but tease, "I didn't expect Miss Bai Lu to be so different after returning from abroad. She's so extravagant. But, girls, you better be careful."
Tang Jingyuan sneered: "Maybe she will give us more unexpected surprises in the future."
After hearing what Lin Tao said, Tang Jingyuan gave up the idea of telling Bai Yue. They were siblings and had returned together. Did Bai Yue really know nothing?
not necessarily!
Bai Lu had gone abroad and had changed so much since returning. Perhaps he should also reconsider his view of Bai Yue.
Only he himself knows where he has been and what he has encountered during the years he has been missing.
Is he really still the brother who shared life and death with me back then?
He suddenly remembered Zhou Yao's private reminder to him that people will change, and sometimes, one must be on guard against others.
Zhou Yao always felt that the Bai brothers and sisters suddenly came back at this time, more likely with other purposes.
The phone rang. It was the testing agency calling.
"Mr. Tang, the results of the sample you sent for testing are out."
"I'll be right there."
Tang Jingyuan took a deep breath, perhaps the mystery would be solved soon.
