Chapter 2671: The Two of Them Are at Each Other’s Throats (Part 3)
Don’t assume he doesn’t know just because he isn’t saying anything. If someone hadn’t informed Diwu Zexuan, how could it be such a coincidence for him to attend a charity gala? He doesn’t look like someone with so much free time.
No need to ask, he knows it all. He’s been schemed against by the little rascal with a duplicitous smile before him!
Indeed, he and the Dan Family are at odds. Not only does Dan Hanjie irritate him, his son isn’t anything good either!
"Dad, did you buy all the news?" Meimei raised her head in shock.
"If I didn’t buy it, are we really going to let everyone know that the heir of YX Group is a doctor dealing with medicine? When it’s time for you to join the group, how will the shareholders trust you?"
Bai Zheng furrowed his brow.
So many people were at the gala last night, even if he suppressed the news, it might still spread in high society.
Even if it doesn’t circulate outside, the shareholders in the group wouldn’t dare to say much. A thousand gold lady of a prestigious family, after all, would have her own hobbies, even if Meimei’s hobby is particularly unique, it’s still acceptable.
"Pack your things at once, we’re leaving soon." Bai Zheng narrowed his eyes, pulling Meimei, ready to leave.
"Mr. Bai, wait."
"Dan Tingye! Don’t think just because this is a private villa that I won’t dare to do anything to you. If you dare stop me again, I promise I won’t be polite to you!"
Bai Zheng glared at Dan Tingye, who blocked his way again, with a darkened face.
"Mr. Bai, the matter at the gala was my negligence, but it was you who personally agreed to let Meimei stay. She also followed your instructions to attend the event. Although the result is different from what you expected, she didn’t defy your wishes, are you really going to break your word to her casually?"
Dan Tingye raised his head, confronting Bai Zheng’s angry gaze, neither humble nor overbearing.
If he hadn’t respected Bai Zheng for being Meimei’s father and caring deeply for her, he would never allow him to pressure Meimei into doing things she dislikes.
"This is a matter between my daughter and me, not for you to manage." Bai Zheng turned his head towards Meimei, applying force to her hand, "Do you still want to stay?"
"..."
Meimei raised her head, observing the tense atmosphere. She instinctively wanted to comply with Bai Zheng, but hesitated when she met Dan Tingye’s eyes.
She waited fifteen years to sneak back. If she leaves now, who knows when she’ll return.
She can’t bear to leave Tingye, Jiang Nan, and Youyou...
She doesn’t want to go.
But Dad will definitely be angry...
Meimei bit her lip, lowered her head, remaining silent.
She doesn’t want to lie against her heart, but neither wants to anger her father.
Silence is the best answer.
Bai Zheng looked at Meimei, her little head drooping, his evil gaze flickered slightly, his facial contour tightly tensed. After a long time, he spoke softly.
"Since you wish to stay, then stay. However, there is still the second thing you promised me that hasn’t been fulfilled. I’ll only give you three months. If you don’t meet my requirements within three months, even if you can’t do it, you must come back with me."
"..."
Meimei raised her head in surprise, blinking bewilderedly.
Dad agreed to let her stay?
But what requirement is he speaking of? It seems he didn’t mention it before...
"Mr. Bai, you previously only mentioned having Meimei intern at YX Group, not with a three-month deadline condition." Dan Tingye frowned.
