Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit

Chapter 401 - 394: Reaping What You Sow (Part 3)

Seeing Qi Hui, Leng Yichen’s eyes immediately turned cold, "Now anyone can walk through the Leng Family’s gate?"

Qi Hui’s face instantly turned green upon hearing this, biting her lips tightly, she remained silent.

Yeah, what could she say? Say she shamelessly came to the Leng Family just to ruin the relationship between the young couple?

"Oh, Yichen, don’t be so harsh with your words~" Luna said, her eyeballs turning as she continued, "I invited Qi Hui as a guest, and your Uncle Qi is here too, he’s currently in the study playing chess with your dad."

"Ha." Leng Yichen let out a cold laugh, "They’ve really reached a certain level."

Leng Yichen was mocking the Qi father and daughter. On the day of the banquet, Qi Hui made such a scene in public, Old Qi was furious and took Qi Hui home right then and there. Normally, they wouldn’t have any dealings with the Leng Family for the rest of their lives, yet the Qi Family actually appeared at the Leng Family during the New Year, and Old Qi was casually playing chess with Leng Liewei?

"Mr. Leng, Yiran..." Qi Hui bit her lips and said with difficulty, "The incident at the banquet was my fault, and I wanted to find a chance to apologize to you."

Apologize? Bai Yiran raised her eyebrows. Could such a matter be resolved with an apology? At that time, Bai Yiran considered the bigger picture and didn’t let the situation get out of control, but if the roles were reversed and Bai Yiran had been successfully framed, would Qi Hui and Luna have considered the bigger picture?

Bai Yiran looked coldly at those two, inwardly sneering.

There’s a saying that when things are abnormal, there’s bound to be something strange going on. She didn’t believe that Qi Hui would suddenly have a change of heart and bring her father here to apologize during the New Year. Looking at Luna’s smile that was sweet to the bone.

These two must be up to something again!

"Old Qi and Qi Hui are my invited guests; don’t show a sour face to them!" Leng Liewei came down the stairs with his hands behind his back. Old Qi was one of his few friends, and unless absolutely necessary, Leng Liewei really didn’t want to lose this friend. So, when Luna suggested inviting the Qi family for the New Year, he agreed without hesitation.

Old Qi followed behind Leng Liewei, feeling uneasy. He really didn’t want to come, nor did he want to continue his relationship with someone as cold as Leng Liewei. But with only Qi Hui as his daughter, he couldn’t resist her pleas, and he had to swallow his pride and come. Just thinking about his daughter’s bold idea made him break out in a cold sweat. Yet, for the sake of his daughter’s future happiness, he couldn’t help but assist her.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was quite sumptuous, but Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen didn’t have much of an appetite; they were just waiting to leave at midnight.

Luna noticed the oppressive atmosphere at the table, and everyone seemed disinterested, so she stood up and said to Bai Yiran, "Yiran, come with me for a moment; I have something for you!"

Bai Yiran hesitated a bit, not believing that Luna would be kind enough to give her something.

"Yiran, you should go. Your stepmom really has something to give you."

With Leng Liewei speaking up, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Bai Yiran not to go. Anyway, this was the Leng Family, so Bai Yiran didn’t have to worry about any unexpected people ruining her reputation.

The only thing making her uneasy was that Qi Hui was still at the dinner table, but Bai Yiran was confident in Leng Yichen’s endurance.

Following Luna all the way to the master bedroom she shared with Leng Liewei on the third floor, the furnishings were comparable to those in Leng Yichen’s room on the second floor.

Luna took out a jade ring from her jewelry box and handed it to Bai Yiran, "This is for you; consider it a small token from me as your stepmother. I was wrong about those past incidents; I was narrow-minded. Please don’t hold it against me; after all, we’re family."

Bai Yiran did not expect that Luna indeed had something to give her.

Could it be that she truly wants to make peace and that I’m overthinking this?

Bai Yiran pondered these thoughts in her mind.
