Chapter 22 Chapter 22
After Xia Peizhi left, it was almost time for Ruoruo to go out for some fresh air.
Naturally, it was Zhang Qin who pushed Ruoruo there. After all, although there were four new bodyguards, they were not nannies. It was impossible for them to be responsible for carefully pushing their employer out for a walk. This was no longer within their scope of responsibility.
Even though the four bodyguards rushed to express their willingness and ability, Zhang Qin still ruthlessly and firmly rejected them in the end, saying that it was best for everyone to do their own job.
This caused the two bodyguards, who were following closely behind her, to envy Zhang Qin countless times. They even began to regret why they applied for bodyguard positions instead of nannies. Ugh, who wouldn't want to push the beautiful Ruo Ruo around and get up close and personal with her?
Ruo Ruo was also quietly considering whether it was time to hire a lawyer. She had held off before, partly because she wasn't sure what Zhao Feng might do. While she still didn't know, she was certain it wouldn't have much impact on her, or on her share of the property.
As for the second reason, she simply didn't like having someone around her all the time, even if it was for protection. If she had hired someone to sue her uncle right then and there, she wouldn't have been able to guarantee her safety if someone came knocking on her door.
But now that we have hired a bodyguard for the hospital transfer, we can put the matter of getting back half of the family property on the agenda as soon as possible.
It is easy to find a lawyer. In a place like City A, you can see advertisements or signs of law firms wherever you go.
She had also checked some market conditions and reputation, even past cases and the lawyer's image, and had already decided on the candidate early on. She even had the person's contact information in her memo for a long time.
"Ake, if anyone wants to cause trouble with me, can you guarantee that they can't get close to me?"
A Ke, who had been following Ruo Ruo closely and carefully observing her surroundings, immediately responded without hesitation, "Of course! Besides, our company is nearby. Even if they have a large number of people, the four of us can definitely hold them back until the rest of the company arrives to help."
A Ke has already started to guess who is trying to do something bad to the fairy, but it doesn’t matter, she can still beat ten ordinary people by herself.
The reason why they are so expensive is that they are very popular bodyguards in the company. It is not only because they are women and there are fewer bodyguards of this gender, but also because the fighting power of the four of them is among the best in the company. They are definitely not just good-looking showpieces.
No matter how strong the opponent is or how many people there are, as long as they don't use firearms, they are sure that they will not let the opponent harm their employer within a certain period of time.
Not to mention that the current employer is Ruoruo. A Ke is willing to pat her chest and guarantee that if anyone wants to hurt Ruoruo, they should step over her dead body first!
Even if someone used a wooden cannon, she could cover Ruo Ruo's ears and block the blows for her!
"Then... can we stop the kind of person who is very good at making trouble unreasonably?" Ruo Ruo continued to ask tentatively.
What?
A Ke didn't quite understand what level of skill was represented by being very unreasonable? To be honest, she had taken on many orders, but this was the first time she had heard of "someone who is very unreasonable."
Ah Jiu, who was following behind, realized what Ruo Ruo meant and immediately took two quick steps to ensure that Ruo Ruo could hear him. He replied silently, "Sure."
They would never allow anyone who shouldn't be in front of Ruo Ruo. If they were lucky enough to become Ruo Ruo's bodyguard, they would swear to complete their duties until their death.

Vimision Hotel.
Bai Minmin lay in the bathtub, relaxing. Outside, a retro record player was still spinning cheerful music, and the sound could be faintly heard through the bathroom.
She held a glass of red wine and savored it slowly, her eyes empty and distant, but the slight smile at the corner of her mouth showed that she was in a good mood.
Her current appearance is completely different from her usual appearance. She has lost all her usual pitiful look and is like two completely different people.
She had checked and found that as a five-star presidential suite, the Vision House had no surveillance equipment at all, which was why she felt so relaxed.
This is the advantage of having money... She seemed to be able to imagine the scene when she took over the Bai family's business in the future and everyone rushed to give her money because of Duan Wenbo.
Rich people are different from each other. She understood this when she attended a banquet at the age of fifteen and saw her father groveling and begging for cooperation from others.
Before that, she had thought her father was the most powerful man in the world, like a towering tree reaching to the sky, capable of anything. But later, she realized that there are always people who are better than you, and her family was relatively wealthy, but that was about it.
A bunch of labels like "nouveau riche", "no background", and "the lucky Bai family" follow them closely.
Especially after she met many socialites from wealthy families, she realized that her family was so insignificant.
"I can crush you to death with just one of my little fingers. Tomorrow I will tell my dad to cancel the cooperation with your family!"
Because the man the young lady liked helped her, she threatened her like this.
Later, her threat came true, and Dad's family cancelled their cooperation, leaving him in a state of embarrassment for a while. Until his death, Dad probably didn't know why he was suddenly cheated.
She did not confess her role in the incident, but she will always remember her father asking for help from others during that period.
Even though my father said it was okay, and that even if the company went bankrupt, their family still had the houses he had bought before as a backup, which was enough for their family to eat, but the fact was that he was really in a mess during that time, so embarrassed that he couldn't even hide it.
Bai Minmin watched coldly, but kept it in her heart forever.
She wanted the property, but she didn't want to have to grovel like her father to negotiate the contract.
It was fine as it was now. Now there were only two things she had to do.
1. Wait until Bai Ruoruo dies.
Second, capture Duan Wenbo’s heart.
But people's greed always grows with the situation. At the beginning, she really just wanted to find a backer for herself and her future industry.
But gradually, she became dissatisfied with having Duan Wenbo as a mere supporter. If she could marry into the Duan family and become their madam, or even... the head of the family, that would be the pinnacle of her life!
Just like when her parents had the accident, she also thought about raising Bai Ruoruo in peace and stability, and only giving her some fixed assets when distributing the property. Given her physical condition, she would definitely agree.
But when Bai Yougen came to the company to make a fuss, pointed at her nose and cursed, "You money-losing piece should just get married," she suddenly changed her mind.
It wouldn't be too much for her to take advantage of the people who plotted against her, right? She just wanted to take advantage of her youth and beauty to meet the right man. Men with money and a strong family background, after being so repressed, might just end up falling for the poor, innocent girl. Besides, she wasn't exactly a flashy type, so any other style wouldn't suit her.
On the other hand, she was used to playing the victim in front of her parents. Playing the victim was definitely her specialty and would become her most important weapon to manipulate men. She subconsciously wanted to portray herself as a victim.
As for Bai Ruoruo——
Bai Minmin was naturally dissatisfied with her. Why could she lie in the hospital peacefully without having to face anything? It was clear that the Ming family's money was spent by both of them, and even Bai Ruoruo spent money like water all day long. The hospital expenses were much higher than her occasional purchases of a few bags and clothes. But apart from her illness, she didn't have to face anything else.
But I have to face these terrible relatives, learn management, be sensible, and take responsibility.
So she became increasingly reluctant to share her property with Bai Ruoruo.
If some people must drag others down, then it would be better for them to die early and be reborn. Anyway, she had no feelings for this sister and even disliked her to death.
Hearing the ringing of her cell phone, she calmly drank the red wine in her glass, put the glass down, and slowly stood up from the bathtub. She was naked, and water dripped all over the floor, but she didn't care. She casually grabbed a bath towel and wiped the water droplets off her body.
"Hello, how are you?" A timid voice reached the other person's ears through the phone. No one could have imagined that she was naked and walking slowly from the bathroom to the bed.
"Hello, Miss Bai. I'm Wang De, Mr. Duan's assistant. I'm calling today about transferring your sister, Ms. Ruoruo. The doctors at the Fifth Hospital don't recommend a transfer, so..."
Bai Minmin's good mood vanished. If this person wasn't Duan Wenbo's helpful assistant, she would have called him a loser. He couldn't even handle the smallest task, and she didn't know what use he was.
"Okay, it's okay. Did the doctor forbid the transfer? I'll go talk to the doctor myself. After all, my sister deserves better treatment."
"No, it's just that maybe the Fifth Hospital is more suitable for Miss Ruoruo's treatment..." Assistant Wang tried to help Ruoruo get Bai Minmin to give up this idea.
"...Okay, Assistant Wang, I'll think it over. Thank you again, Assistant Wang. Thank you for your trouble."
She turned around and called Lu Yi, wondering if this person had come into contact with Bai Ruoruo.
Although she didn't like Lu Yi, at least Lu Yi's appearance was still okay. After all, he was a sports student, tall and muscular, with a sharp face and very handsome.
But who could blame him for his poor family background and his complete devotion to her? If anyone was to blame, it was the wrong family he came from.
But soon Bai Minmin froze. The person on the other end was still on the phone, which made her wonder if she had remembered the wrong number.
When she sent a message using social media, Bai Minmin realized something was wrong when she found a red exclamation mark on her message.
The fish she had been keeping in the pond seemed to have flown away?
Bai Minmin suddenly felt that today was truly unlucky, with nothing going her way. She had clearly planned that things shouldn't be this way, but now everything had gone beyond her expectations.
She put on her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror repeatedly to make sure there was nothing inappropriate before carrying her bag and heading to the Fifth Courtyard.
When she arrived, Ruoruo had just left her wheelchair and was walking on a deserted path.
It was also a coincidence that Bai Minmin found her without having to go to the ward.
Of course, the first person Bai Minmin recognized wasn't her sister, who only showed her eyes, but Zhang Qin, who was with her. She was deeply impressed by this person.
"Ruoruo, are you feeling better? I've found someone to arrange a better private hospital for you. Let's go there tomorrow, okay? That hospital is so hard to get into, and I put so much effort into it."
She smiled very gently, and at this moment she really seemed like a sister who cared wholeheartedly for Bai Ruoruo.
Ruoruo is not stupid, so she naturally won't agree.
She was not discouraged and continued to talk about her good intentions and the strong strength of the private hospital.
"Ruoruo, don't be so willful just because you can't bear to leave this place. Don't you want to recover completely? That hospital's medical conditions, service level, doctors' abilities, and even medical equipment are far superior to here."
"How can people always stay in the same place?" How can we see the evil in people's hearts like this...
Bai Minmin's duplicity and vivid portrayal of her actions had failed to impress anyone. Even with her deep affection, Ruo Ruo knew exactly what she had done.
Ruoruo sat back in the wheelchair, and Zhang Qin pushed Ruoruo away with a sarcastic look on her face.
Bai Minmin wanted to stop her, but A Ke stopped her.
Bai Minmin couldn't believe it: "Ruoruo, what do you mean?"
"Sister, you're acting all the way. Don't you think you're being a little perfunctory to me?" She didn't even cultivate her feelings, and now she's suddenly being so sincere, it's like singing a song without a prelude and going straight to the climax. No matter how good it sounds, it still feels abrupt.
Bai Minmin seemed to have paused when she heard this. After a while, she said slowly, "It's up to you. I won't care about you anymore. Since you don't believe me, it's useless for me to say anything."
After saying that, she turned and walked away, much faster than Zhang Qin, who was pushing Ruoruo. Soon she disappeared. It was as if she was heartbroken.
…
Two days later, Bai Minmin received a message from Manager Li, who liked her in the Bai family company, saying that Bai Ruoruo had hired a lawyer to negotiate with Bai Yougen, asking him to return half of his property. Bai Yougen was very annoyed now.
He is a rough guy and his ideas are always given by others. Apart from throwing tantrums and bullying others with force, he can't do anything else.
If Bai Ruoruo had come herself, he would probably have pointed at Bai Ruoruo's nose and scolded her for three days and three nights, but the one who came was a male lawyer who looked very strong. He said right away that he had broken the law and would go to jail if he didn't return the money. Bai Yougen was a little at a loss and hid in the office alone, unwilling to go out.
"Miss, what should we do now? How about I hire a lawyer for Bai Yougen as well?"
Bai Minmin looked at it for a moment, then began typing, "Tell him to turn his attention to Bai Ruoruo herself. Tell him she's currently in the inpatient department of the Fifth People's Hospital in City A. I can't remember the ward, but it should be on the 15th or 16th floor. You'll definitely find her if you search everywhere. If she becomes ill, she won't have the energy to fight over the inheritance."
When she went to see Bai Ruoruo for Xia Peizhi, she didn't just go to her floor. She visited every floor, hoping to see Senior Xia. So she couldn't even remember Bai Ruoruo's ward number. If she saw him, she'd just pretend, saying she wanted to see her sister. But if she couldn't, who knew what she was doing?
Anyway, if you really want to find Bai Ruoruo, you can ask the nurse directly. As Bai Ruoruo's biological sister, the nurse at the information desk will not fail to tell her.
After thinking for a moment, she added: [Be more subtle when giving advice.]
After giving the instructions, she immediately cleared all messages and logged into her usual account.
She really needs to be more rigorous in the future.
