Chapter 404 - 397: Reaping What You Sow (Part 6)
In the bedroom, Bai Yiran watched Leng Yichen, who had just finished showering, with a smile on her lips.
"What does that smile mean?" Leng Yichen walked over shirtless and pushed Bai Yiran down onto the bed, "Are you relieved that your man hasn’t been taken by someone else, or are you gloating?"
Bai Yiran’s smile deepened, "I’m laughing at how foolish they were to target you."
Leng Yichen’s tongue was always sensitive, especially when it came to wine. He could easily identify the origin, year, and even the quality of the grapes of the wine he tasted. With such a sensitive tongue, how could he not detect if something was added to the wine?
"So, I’m curious. Since you drank that glass of wine, how come you’re okay?" Bai Yiran wiped the water dripping from Leng Yichen’s hair off her face with her small hand.
"The same method you used."
"Induced vomiting?" Bai Yiran was startled. She had tried it before and it was a very unpleasant experience. Her small hand reached for Leng Yichen’s stomach, "Is your stomach okay?"
"I’m fine." Leng Yichen replied nonchalantly, "I used to do that frequently a few years ago."
Back then, when Leng Yichen first took over Huamei International, the company was on the verge of collapse due to a financial crisis, and coupled with the suppression from Yin Hao, he faced the risk of Huamei International failing at any moment. Leng Liewei handed over Huamei International, a hot potato, to Leng Yichen with a sense of defeat. However, Leng Yichen pulled through. During that time, he would go out for social events almost every night, and drinking was inevitable. He trained his alcohol tolerance then; when he couldn’t drink anymore, he’d go to the bathroom to induce vomiting and then continue drinking when he returned. He got through it bit by bit, creating today’s Huamei International!
This is also why Leng Liewei, although a father, could never assert himself in front of Leng Yichen.
"So, you used the situation to your advantage and sent Qi Hui to your dad’s bed?" It’s impressive that Leng Yichen managed to do that; this is going to be an entertaining drama.
"Things like this need to be reciprocal to be fair." Leng Yichen kissed Bai Yiran’s forehead, "Get ready, Wang Hai will be here to pick us up soon. Li Sha has already gone to meet Grandma and Uncle."
The thought of seeing Grandma and Uncle soon excited Bai Yiran. After the couple had tidied up, they prepared to leave the Leng Mansion.
There was a bit of suppressed anger in the living room downstairs, and the intermittent sobs gave Leng Liewei a headache. Crying during the New Year was really inauspicious.
"Will you stop crying?" Leng Liewei shouted at Luna. He couldn’t yell at Qi Hui because it was too awkward.
This time, Leng Liewei was innocent. He didn’t know that his wife and Qi Hui had conspired to frame Leng Yichen, but instead of falling for it, Leng Yichen didn’t, and he ended up in a scandal.
Of course, Luna didn’t dare to say anything. She needed to maintain a victim’s image to gain sympathy, and Qi Hui didn’t dare to speak up either.
The three finally understood what it means to reap what you sow, but the situation had reached a point where it needed a resolution.
Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen came downstairs. Bai Yiran felt somewhat awkward seeing the four people in the living room, "Dad, we’re leaving now."
It’s always polite to say goodbye.
This time, Leng Liewei didn’t make things difficult for Bai Yiran, considering the embarrassing situation in front of his daughter-in-law. He just wanted Bai Yiran and the others to leave quickly.
"Wait, you can’t leave yet!" Old Qi suddenly spoke up. "Leng Yichen, you owe my daughter an explanation!"
