[Chapter 370 He doesn't need the sincerity of other men]
Bai Qingyan returned to the private room where he had dined with his mother and sister. As soon as he came in, Bai Qingyue noticed the wound on his face.
"Brother, how are you injured!" Bai Qingyue stood up and walked towards him, staring at his obviously red and swollen cheekbones.
Bai Qingyan said nothing and returned to his seat in silence.
"Brother, please say something. How did you get hurt? Were you beaten?" Bai Qingyue was a little angry. "Whoever did it, call the police!"
Liu Meilan sat in her seat without moving, looking at her son's dazed and dejected look. How could she, who had experienced many ups and downs, not see the problem?
"Did you meet Rose?" she asked directly.
Bai Qingyan held a glass of red wine, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, the corners of his eyes still red.
He didn't say anything.
Bai Qingyue also noticed it and said in shock: "Brother, could it be that Huo Jingze hit you in the face?"
"Who else could it be?" Liu Meilan frowned and looked at her son. "You've been beaten twice, and you don't learn your lesson at all."
Bai Qingyue looked at Bai Qingyan and saw that he was drinking alone and was obviously feeling unhappy.
She couldn't help but scolded, "Mom, my brother is already in a bad mood, please stop talking about him."
"You're useless." Liu Meilan snatched the wine glass from Bai Qingyan's hand and put it heavily on the table. "Is it worth it to make yourself like this for a woman? Look at what you look like now."
Liu Meilan's tone was stern, but there was a hint of heartache in her eyes.
Bai Qingyan remained silent, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.
Bai Qingyue looked at her elder brother distressedly, then turned to Liu Meilan and said, "Mom, don't say that about my elder brother. He really likes Sister Rose, and it's impossible to just let go of feelings."
The eldest brother is different from her. He has high standards. He has never liked anyone in his thirties. Now that he finally finds someone he is attracted to, he must have made up his mind to be together with her and give his true heart to her.
Although she fell in love with Huo Jingze at first sight, she had actually liked many people before Huo Jingze, but her likes were all short-lived. Even with Huo Jingze, she didn't feel that she had to be with him.
"Brother, don't be too sad." Bai Qingyue comforted.
Liu Meilan sighed, "Qingyan, I know you feel bad, but Meigui... Lin Yin is already married and has a husband and children. It will be fruitless if you continue to pester her. You are the eldest son of the Bai family. You have to consider the family and cannot be so willful."
Bai Qingyan finally spoke, his voice hoarse: "Mom, I can't let her go."
Bai Qingyue held Bai Qingyan's hand and wanted to persuade him again.
"Qingyue, go tell the waiter to bring in two more bottles of wine."
Before she could say anything, Liu Meilan spoke first.
Bai Qingyue looked at her mother in surprise, knowing that her mother was trying to send her away.
Maybe mother wanted to persuade my eldest brother alone.
She nodded, stood up and walked towards the heavy brown wooden door, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Only mother and son were left in the box.
Liu Meilan knocked on the table. "Qingyan, do you really like Lin Yin? Do you have to be with her?"
Bai Qingyan clenched the wine glass tightly, his voice a little hoarse, "Mom, you know, I have never been moved by anyone since I was a child. She is the only one. It would be great if she didn't get married."
"If you really can't let go, mom supports you in pursuing love freely."
Bai Qingyan looked surprised, "Mom, do you really support me? Dad..."
Bai's father called him and scolded him, and strictly forbade him to have any contact with Lin Yin again.
He was specifically reminded not to come into conflict with the Huo family.
When talking about Bai's father, Liu Meilan's eyes flashed with resentment, "He has never cared about the three of us since we were young. I don't know which wild woman his heart is with outside. He has never cared about you, so why should he care about your marriage now? Just do what you want. Mom will help you deal with your grandfather and your father."
"Mom, thank you." Bai Qingyan said with emotion.
Liu Meilan held his hand and said with a smile, "Actually, Mom likes Rose very much. If you two can be together, Mom will be happier than anyone else."
"Rose has a child, do you mind?" Bai Qingyan asked.
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's nothing. This is not a feudal society. I, your mother, am very open-minded."
Bai Qingyan was even more moved, "Thank you, Mom."
Liu Meilan smiled gently, but the smile did not reach her eyes. There was a hint of indifference hidden deep in her eyes.
No matter what, Lin Yin must marry her son.
So what if she has a husband and a daughter? She doesn't mind committing some sins if anyone dares to stop her plan.
…
After Bai Qingyue came out of the box, she walked towards the front desk to find the waiter to get some wine.
As I was walking, I saw a familiar figure standing at the front desk. When I looked closely, it was Huo Jingze.
Bai Qingyue paused slightly, with mixed emotions in her heart, but she still walked forward.
"Mr. Huo." Bai Qingyue spoke first, with a hint of unnaturalness in her voice.
Huo Jingze turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw Bai Qingyue, his handsome face showed no expression. "Miss Bai."
His tone was cold.
Bai Qingyue bit her lip and couldn't help but blame him, "Mr. Huo, no matter what, you shouldn't hit my brother. Your behavior is a bit too much."
Huo Jingze sneered: "He coveted someone else's wife, shouldn't he be beaten? I have warned him many times."
Bai Qingyue quickly explained: "Mr. Huo, my elder brother was just confused for a moment, but he is at least sincere to Meigui...Lin Yin."
"Sincerely?" Huo Jingze looked at Bai Qingyue sharply. "Does his sincerity mean that he disregards moral ethics and forcibly entangles with a married woman? What's more, Lin Yin doesn't need another man's sincerity. Miss Bai, you should persuade your eldest brother not to be so self-indulgent and embarrass everyone."
“…”
Bai Qingyue was left speechless by Huo Jingze's words.
But I have to admit that everything he said was right.
Her elder brother's behavior was indeed inappropriate, but as a younger sister, she couldn't help but defend Bai Qingyan.
"Mr. Huo, emotions are sometimes hard to control. My eldest brother has never liked someone so much. He just..."
"Just what?" Huo Jingze interrupted her, "Just because of his selfishness, he has to destroy other people's families? Miss Bai, you should understand that Lin Yin is my wife. We have been through a lot to get to where we are today. I will not allow anyone to destroy our happiness."
He had a stern expression, spoke steadily and had a very tough attitude.
Bai Qingyue lowered her head, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, "Mr. Huo, I know how you feel, but my eldest brother is also very pitiful, he really can't let go of Sister Lin Yin."
Huo Jingze's voice was as cold as an ice blade. "Being pitiful is not a reason for him to make mistakes. If he continues like this, I will not be polite."
Bai Qingyue sighed: "Mr. Huo, I will persuade my eldest brother. I hope you won't have any more conflicts."
Huo Jingze did not respond, but just watched the waiter at the front desk settle the bill in silence.
Bai Qingyue stood aside, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Huo Jingze paid the bill and turned around to leave.
"Mr. Huo." Bai Qingyue suddenly called him again.
Huo Jingze stopped and looked at her.
Bai Qingyue pursed her lips and said, "Congratulations on your family reunion."
"Thanks."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
