Chapter 342 - 335: Loving Each Other, Part 2
In the restaurant, Bai Qiantong and Bai Yiran sat facing each other.
"What have you been doing these past two years?" This was Bai Yiran’s opening line after much consideration. The situation between her and Bai Qiantong was probably quite awkward right now.
After all, her biological mother and sister were both sent to the police station because of Bai Yiran, and it was the second time for Gu Manli.
He should hate me, Bai Yiran thought.
Bai Qiantong had a cheerful smile on his face, seemingly not holding a grudge against Bai Yiran because of Gu Manli and Bai Qianyu’s affairs.
"You might not believe it, but I’m a teacher now."
Bai Yiran really hadn’t expected Bai Qiantong to become a teacher. Looking at him more closely now, he indeed had some of the gentle demeanor of a teacher.
Actually, Bai Qiantong’s academic performance wasn’t bad. But in Bai Yiran’s view, Bai Qiantong used to spend much of his energy on fun and chasing girls, presenting a carefree and dissolute side to people. Therefore, people, including Bai Yiran herself, tended to overlook what the real Bai Qiantong was like.
"Originally, I didn’t plan to return in recent years, but recently there was a chance to be seconded back here, plus this incident happened. Dad still needs someone to take care of him, so I applied to come back. After resting for a few days, I guess I’ll need to start work too."
Bai Qiantong said this casually, but in Bai Yiran’s ears, it didn’t sound very comfortable. She knew Bai Hongguang had a stroke, but she hadn’t gone to see him even once.
Putting aside the revolting presence of Gu Manli and Bai Qianyu, Bai Yiran, in the end, couldn’t forgive Bai Hongguang. His actions had deeply hurt Bai Yiran, extinguishing the last trace of father-daughter affection.
"Caring for a stroke patient isn’t easy, and you have to work. If you need anything, you can ask me for help. After all, legally, he’s still my father."
Bai Qiantong knew that Bai Yiran saying such words was already for his sake, and he wouldn’t put Bai Yiran in a difficult position.
After all these years, he was still the person in the family who most hoped Bai Yiran could find happiness.
"It’s okay, I can take care of him. In a few days, I’ll sell the house I’m living in and move in with Dad to the apartment I’m renting. The environment there is good, suitable for recuperation."
Their conversation once again fell into silence. Bai Yiran recalled how Bai Qiantong used to circle around her every time he saw her, chatting incessantly. It seemed Bai Qiantong couldn’t stop talking when facing her, but now neither could find a point to continue the conversation.
Everything had changed since Bai Yiran completely stood on the opposite side of the Bai Family, and their relationship had undergone subtle changes.
Previously, Bai Qiantong could choose to leave the city, choose to escape.
But now the situation left Bai Qiantong with nowhere to hide, forcing him to feign strength, feign that he could handle everything.
Beep beep!
Outside came the sound of two car horns, it was Leng Yichen’s Maybach.
Bai Qiantong glanced at it and asked, "I heard you remarried him; are you happy?"
"Happy, I’m very happy now."
Bai Qiantong nodded, his eyes gradually reddened, but he kept a smile on his face, "As long as you’re happy, nothing is more important than your happiness."
