Chapter 44
When You Mian walked into the box under the guidance of the waiter, there were already people sitting inside.
The woman who was kneeling gracefully on the tatami behind the Japanese-style low table heard the door open, gently put down the teacup in her hand and looked over.
Those are a pair of pupils as warm as autumn water, which remind people of the warm sunshine in spring.
Bai Peilan's short, jet-black curly hair fell flat against her ears, with a perfect curvature.
The beautiful and exquisite light blue round-neck suit is paired with high-quality warm jade bracelets and earrings, which looks luxurious at first glance.
"Are you here?" Bai Peilan looked at You Mian and smiled faintly, but her eyes did not curve.
The contradictory feeling of being cold but having to pretend to be intimate suddenly appeared in the box.
You Mian didn't respond, but sat down opposite Bai Peilan and asked directly, "What can I do for you?"
Bai Peilan spoke gently, "Child, have you been angry with your father recently? He has been unable to eat or sleep well recently because he misses you."
You Mian lowered his eyes and did not respond.
Because he knew that all this was just an illusion. If You Jiyuan was really a good father as Bai Peilan said, Bai Peilan would not have called him to meet her outside You's house.
Perhaps they might even wish to move out of the You family on their own initiative.
Seeing that You Mian didn't respond, Bai Peilan's barely maintained gentle mask was instantly torn off.
"How angry are you?" Bai Peilan said coldly, "You should give in when you should. We are all family, so why should we hold grudges overnight?"
You Mian lifted his eyelids and looked directly at the woman in front of him, saying mercilessly: "I have already signed the equity transfer contract. Mr. You promised that he will have nothing to do with me from now on. It is written in black and white and is protected by law."
Bai Peilan frowned when she heard this. "What are you talking about? Is this how you plan to repay us for raising you for more than 20 years?"
"We are no longer a family after signing the contract? Or do you think a contract has nothing to do with us?"
You Mian looked straight at her, not flinching.
Bai Peilan exploded instantly when she saw this look.
"You've been at odds with us since Linlin came back two years ago. Do you feel that you're just an adopted son and can't get any real benefits from the You family, so you start to resent us?"
Bai Peilan pointed at the table and shouted with real emotion, "You Mian! Bai Lin is your brother!"
"You have kept him from returning home for more than 20 years. Now that he is back, why should you give him such a hard time?"
"Those trending searches, those quarrels among fans, you were the one behind all of this, right?"
Bai Peilan took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down. The beautiful woman waved her hands and said with lowered eyebrows, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Go back and apologize to Linlin right now. Do you know how miserable he has been these past two days? And you're still filming the show! Do you have a conscience?!"
From the moment he came in, You Mian did not treat Bai Peilan coldly like he treated You Jiyuan before, only because Bai Peilan had given him motherly love for just a few short months when he was in You's house.
Although her love soon turned into disgust.
Although a few months is not proportional to more than ten years.
But You Mian was still willing to call her mother because of their past interactions, and she didn't even want to break up with her and embarrass her.
But that's all.
"Participating in the program is a contract signed between Mr. You and me. I have a sense of contract and will continue to finish the filming." You Mian said calmly: "As for Bai Lin's emotions, it should have nothing to do with me."
"As far as I know, the You family has already paid a huge price to reduce the trending searches. If he can't even handle the discussion among passersby, I advise you to find a psychologist for him."
You Mian's words were merciless, causing Bai Peilan to almost slam the table and curse.
"What are you talking about?!" Bai Peilan said angrily, "Have you grown wings or found someone to back you up?"
You Mian raised his eyes coldly, and his sharp gaze made Bai Peilan, who had always been showing a strong aura on the opposite side, pause for a few seconds.
Although the boy quickly restrained his expression, Bai Peilan was ashamed of her own pause.
