Chapter 361 - 354: Whose Scheme? Part 1
Bai Yiran looked at the plates on the table, which almost only had soup left, and sighed inwardly. The cost of this meal for the three of them was the equivalent of a month’s worth of groceries for a regular family. It was really too extravagant.
"Is everyone full?" Bai Yiran asked the two satisfied-looking people.
Cheng Shishi nodded, "Full! Xiao Lang, are you full?"
Xiao Lang nodded with a grin, "Full! Shishi Auntie!"
"I already told you, don’t call me Shishi Auntie! Call me Beautiful Shishi!"
After all, Xiao Lang was still a child. Face-to-face with the self-absorbed Cheng Shishi, he couldn’t help but twitch his face involuntarily, "Mom, Auntie is making me lie..."
Bai Yiran couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her eyes with Xiao Lang’s words and smiled.
Cheng Shishi glared, "You, little guy, are really not cute at all!"
Bai Yiran checked the time and took out her phone to call Leng Yichen. The phone was answered after ringing twice.
"Hey, what’s up?"
"Oh, nothing much, just wondering when you’ll be home?" Bai Yiran liked hearing Leng Yichen’s voice when he called her ’girl’, deep and sexy, making her feel cherished.
"Might be a bit later, you go home and rest first, no need to wait for me."
Hearing that Leng Yichen would be late, Bai Yiran felt a bit disappointed, "Okay, come back early."
Leng Yichen put down the phone, his eyes gazing unemotionally at Leng Liewei sitting opposite him and the magazine and newspaper on the table. They were filled with reports on Bai Yiran’s scandals from not long ago; Leng Liewei had gotten these quickly.
"How do you explain these?" Leng Liewei knew that Leng Yichen must have used strong PR tactics to suppress them, making it impossible to find a trace on the internet.
"Nothing to explain, just fake news." Leng Yichen paused, "What? Have you become so confused that you can’t even tell if such news is real or fake?"
Leng Liewei coughed heavily, "Leng Yichen, while I’m still negotiating nicely with you, settle the divorce with that woman early. The weight the President’s wife of Huamei International carries, you should know. Do you think a girl of Bai Yiran’s capability deserves this position?"
Leng Yichen’s brows furrowed, "Just the President’s wife of Huamei International, you think she cares?"
"What do you mean by that?" Leng Liewei did not like his son’s attitude toward him.
"I mean that because I am Leng Yichen, Bai Yiran is willing to marry me. If I were only the President of Huamei International, Bai Yiran probably wouldn’t even look at me!" Leng Yichen looked deeply at his father, "The empire you see as invincible is nothing but dung in Bai Yiran’s eyes. If one day she stops loving me, all this will mean nothing to her!"
If money could keep Bai Yiran, she wouldn’t have left so resolutely a year and a half ago.
Leng Liewei looked at Leng Yichen, the eyes of father and son meeting in the air, momentarily speechless.
Bai Yiran and a few others walked out of Ming Xuan, and not long after, her car seemed to have some issues, shuddering as it moved and stalling repeatedly.
She hurriedly parked the car by the roadside, and with difficulty, opened the front hood, observing for a while but found nothing unusual, mainly because Bai Yiran was genuinely not good at this kind of thing. She could only call for a rescue vehicle, but at this time, the rescue vehicle probably wouldn’t come quickly. She couldn’t bear to just leave the car by the roadside.
"What’s wrong? Need help?"
A voice sounded behind Bai Yiran, making her pause as she turned around. When she saw that familiar face, she was momentarily stunned, then spoke gently, "Hello, Mr. Bai Chuan."
