"President, Mr. Bai is here."
Xian Mingyu closed the folder in his hand, looked up and said, "You can leave now. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
“Yes.” Anne turned and left the office.
As soon as Annie left, Bai Minglei's previously fierce and stern face immediately transformed into a fawning and ingratiating expression. "Mingyu, I..."
“Father-in-law, this is my company. If others see you blatantly trying to claim kinship with me, it won’t be good for you.”
Before Bai Minglei could finish speaking, Xian Mingyu coldly interrupted him.
"Who cares about the impact, I'm just..."
“Father-in-law, I think you haven’t forgotten the three rules my grandfather made with you before the wedding, have you?”
One of the three rules agreed upon at the time was that before Bai Xiaoruo gave birth to a great-grandson of the Xian family, no one could announce Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu's marital relationship for any reason or in any form, and the Bai and Xian families should act as if nothing had happened and neither could ask anything of the other.
This wasn't actually what Hsien Cheng-sen wanted, but rather a prerequisite for Hsien Ming-yu to agree to marry Bai Xiao-ruo.
At the time, Xian Mingyu thought that as long as he didn't touch that girl, she couldn't get pregnant, let alone give birth to his child, and he didn't have to worry about the Bai family announcing this so-called marriage.
After all, if the news were released at this time, the biggest loser would only be the Bai family, while the Xuan family would suffer no loss.
How could Bai Minglei possibly make such a basic mistake?
However, Xuan Mingyu knew perfectly well why he had come to see Xuan Mingyu today.
"Yes, I remember, but... the situation is completely different now. Mingyu, you have to understand how difficult it is for me."
"Of course, I understand your difficulties. You've raised your precious daughter with so much care, and now you've given her to me like this. I can understand if you're a little greedy." Xian Mingyu sneered, taking a checkbook from the drawer on his left.
He picked up the pen on the table, wrote the amount and his signature on it in a flamboyant style, and then tore it off.
“Father-in-law, I made this exception only because I was very careful and it was for your sake. Please accept this generous gift.”
"Yes, yes." Bai Minglei quickly took the check.
It was truly effortless; it was settled with just a few words. As expected, my personal involvement is far superior to that brat Bai Xiaoruo. How could Xian Mingyu possibly agree if she couldn't even utter a word?
Maybe that girl was harboring ulterior motives and deliberately not helping.
Bai Minglei was all smiles, but when he saw the number on the check, his face instantly turned black.
"This, this... Mingyu, did you write it wrong? The number is wrong, is it missing two or three zeros?"
"Father-in-law, please understand my difficulties. I have to run several companies in several cities at the same time, and I have thousands of employees to feed. I have to make some money to support my wife and keep her healthy and well-fed. Father-in-law, I think the Bai family should not be on the verge of bankruptcy yet, right?"
"You! You!" Bai Minglei pointed angrily at Xuan Mingyu in front of him. "You brat, don't be so arrogant. Our Bai family will always be glorious and will never go bankrupt! No matter what, I am your father-in-law." Bai Minglei tightened his grip on the check. "Is this 20,000 yuan for you to give to a beggar?"
You think you can get a piece of land for 20,000? That's absurd!
Did he really think Bai Minglei couldn't come up with this little bit of money? If it weren't for the large sum of money he needed to spend recently to get his precious daughter Bai Xiaofu out of jail as soon as possible, would he have to be so humble and humble to come to this kid today?
No one knows what kind of poison that brat Bai Xiaoruo gave Xian Mingyu, that he is the only one who is obedient to her, while the entire Xian family completely disregards the Bai family.
If things continue like this, that brat will become uncontrollable. If the support of the Xian family is really lost, won't the Bai family's hard-earned business, which has been established both domestically and internationally, be ruined overnight?
“Father-in-law, this is all I can do for you. Whether you want it or not is your business, but don’t expect to get more from me.” Xuan Mingyu pressed a button on the landline in front of him. “Annie, see the guest out.”
"I don't need you to deliver it! Kid, you'll regret this one day! Xiao Ruo is, after all, our Bai family's daughter, and I am her biological father. One day she will still stand on our Bai family's side!" After saying that, Bai Minglei took the check and stormed out of the office.
Just as Annie was about to open the door, she saw Bai Minglei storm out, looking completely bewildered. What was going on? Had the negotiations fallen through?
It's best not to pry into your boss's private affairs, lest they take their anger out on you.
Anne quietly returned to her office and didn't go back in.
Bai Minglei left, leaving Xian Mingyu feeling completely at ease.
We should have confronted that old fox a long time ago.
When he married Bai Xiaoruo, the Bai family asked the Xuan family for tens of millions of yuan in betrothal gifts, which have now been squandered in just one month.
Now that he wants money back from him, that old fox really thinks he's some kind of father-in-law.
If he can divorce that girl smoothly and quickly, the Bai family and Xian Mingyu will no longer care about him.
However, judging from Bai Minglei's tone just now, it seems that he had been rebuffed by Bai Xiaoruo and had no choice but to come to him.
Did that little girl really not side with the Bai family?
Was she truly plotting against him and the Xian family, or did she think that once she entered the Xian family, she could easily treat the entire Bai family as outsiders?
