At the dinner table, Ms. Ma looked at Su Ning with increasing satisfaction.
She winked at her son, but Bai Yi pretended not to see it. Ms. Ma then stomped on her son's foot under the table.
Su Ning is beautiful, and as her younger sister described, she is gentle and quiet.
He had seen all sorts of girls from mainland China, and he categorized Su Ning into that type of person as well.
Su Ning sat opposite Bai Yi, and she wasn't oblivious to his coldness.
Ms. Ma was exasperated. Such a good girl, and this brat didn't know how to cherish her. She was practically rolling her eyes at him, completely ignoring him.
The meal was a bit awkward. Su Ning realized Ma Ying's intentions, and after finishing the meal, Su Ning made an excuse to leave early.
Bai Weiwei wanted to go back with Su Ning, but Su Ning refused.
"Weiwei! Stay home and keep Auntie company. I've been taking over you for so many days and I feel bad about it."
Bai Weiwei was worried. She had promised He Ci to take good care of Su Ning, and seeing Su Ning's firm attitude, she had no choice but to compromise.
Ms. Ma wanted to create an opportunity for her son, so she specifically asked him to escort Su Ning downstairs. Bai Yi didn't say anything, picked up his coat, and walked towards the door.
Before Su Ning could refuse, Bai Yi was already waiting at the elevator door. After Su Ning and Ms. Ma said goodbye, she quickly followed.
The elevator arrived quickly. Bai Yi let Su Ning go in first, and then followed her in. Neither of them spoke in the elevator.
Once downstairs, Su Ning said to Bai Yi, "Mr. Bai, please leave me here! I can go home by myself."
Su Ning knew what Bai Weiwei and Ma Ying were thinking. She felt that Bai Yi must have misunderstood her, so Su Ning still spoke up to explain.
“Mr. Bai! I have someone I like. I came to your house today purely to have dinner with Weiwei. I didn’t know that your aunt would make this arrangement.”
"If I've caused you any misunderstanding, I can only apologize! This will not happen again."
Bai Yi's lips moved but he didn't speak. He had indeed misunderstood that the girl was a blind date arranged by Ms. Ma.
Watching the girl's departing figure, a pang of guilt flashed through his heart. Had he gone too far?
Su Ning returned home alone, feeling extremely wronged. Thinking about what had happened that day, tears streamed down her face.
The ringing of her phone pulled Su Ning back to reality, and she quickly wiped away the tears on her face.
Su Ning thought it was Bai Weiwei, and her expression softened instantly when she saw the caller ID.
"Brother Ci."
He Ci heard the voice he longed for and spoke tenderly.
"My little darling! Have you missed me?"
Hearing his voice, all the grievances Su Ning had felt that day welled up in her heart.
He Ci didn't hear Su Ning speak, and he sensed something was wrong.
"Little darling! What's wrong?"
Su Ning's tears fell in a patter, her voice muffled.
"Brother Ci! When are you coming home?"
One sentence almost broke He Ci's heart; he could hear the grievance in Su Ning's voice.
"Why is Xiaoguai crying? Has someone bullied her?"
Su Ning didn't want him to worry, "Brother Ci! No one bullied me, it's just... I missed you."
Su Ning realized what she had just said! Her face turned incredibly embarrassed.
She didn't hear anything He Ci said after that, and it wasn't until she hung up the phone that she snapped back to reality.
In the past, if Su Ning said she missed him, He Ci would have been happy. He didn't know what was wrong with Su Ning today!
He Ci was worried about Su Ning and wanted to go back as soon as possible; he didn't want to wait even a moment longer.
At the Hai Gang headquarters, He Ci sat in the first chair in the middle, his feet propped up on the large conference table, constantly fiddling with a lighter in his hand.
Those below dared not utter a sound; those they had disregarded just a few days ago had become their leaders overnight.
They had all witnessed He Ci's ruthlessness, and the battle that night also showed those below him another side of He Ci.
This man appears carefree and nonchalant, but when he gets ruthless, he won't even spare an ant.
Everyone pushed and shoved, but finally someone gritted their teeth and stepped forward to greet the congratulatory message.
His men placed four briefcases in front of He Ci, and he ordered them to open them all.
The two boxes of US dollars are worth about eight million RMB, and the box of gold and the box of jewelry are both priceless.
The man looked at He Ci with obsequious eyes, "Young Master He, these are our gifts to you. From now on, we brothers will follow your lead."
He Ci didn't even look at the things on the table. Ali went forward and checked each box and closed it.
He Ci didn't say anything, got up and left with his men. They only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after he was gone.
