Chapter 2669: The Two Are at Loggerheads (1)
"The plane arrived an hour ago, and Mr. Bai is now at the private villa, having tea with Mr. Diwu."
Meimei’s eyes widened suddenly, looking at him in disbelief, "You mean my dad is back?"
"The butler from the private villa told me to inform you to hurry back. Mr. Yao, knowing this, has already rushed back to the villa to welcome Mr. Bai and Mr. Diwu, afraid the two of them might get into a fight over the journalists’ reports."
On Jiang Nan’s usually frivolous face, there was a rare seriousness.
Stepping forward, "Bro, is this scenario part of your plan?"
The reports that came out yesterday didn’t just describe Meimei as the mysterious heir of YX Group, they also heavily reported Meimei’s relationship as the apprentice of Diwu Zexuan due to his appearance.
This meant nobody gained any advantage; Bai Zheng’s plans were thwarted again, no wonder he was so angry that he flew back as soon as he got the news.
"How do you know it’s related to me?" Dan Tingye raised an eyebrow, looking at the astute Jiang Nan, a smile playing at his lips.
"I’ve asked Mr. Yao; Mr. Diwu’s sudden visit was initiated by a call from you. Yesterday’s situation wasn’t accidental, but part of your design, aiming to reveal Meimei’s dual identity, thus putting Mr. Bai and Mr. Diwu back on the same starting line."
Jiang Nan’s narrow, charming eyes squinted slightly, then spoke again, "But I can’t figure it out, aren’t you afraid Mr. Bai will take Meimei away in a fit of anger?"
Upon hearing this, Meimei snapped out of her surprise and looked at Dan Tingye with worry.
She had forgotten to ask later, how did Tingye know to call Mr. Diwu, but what exactly did he intend to do, no one knew.
"I won’t let him take Meimei away."
Dan Tingye’s expression darkened, his grip on Meimei’s hand tightened, pulling her toward the exit with decisive steps, completely forgetting he mentioned last night that he forgot the way.
Meimei watched his back, dazedly following in his steps, until they walked out of the small forest, she mumbled quietly.
"Weren’t you saying you forgot the way? How did you remember again?"
Dan Tingye: "..."
-
In the private villa.
In the spacious living room, there were only two people.
Bai Zheng had just gotten off the plane, his face still showing a hint of fatigue. The white suit didn’t make him seem gentle, but instead, added a chill.
The icy gaze, in particular, seemed intent on turning into arrows, piercing through the person sitting opposite him, Diwu Zexuan.
Diwu Zexuan appeared oblivious to the hostility, with his long legs casually crossed, leaning comfortably on the sofa, holding a teacup, sipping occasionally.
The heavy atmosphere in the living room made the servants dare not step closer, even the butler, who wanted to come in and ease the tension, fled after a glare from Bai Zheng.
No one could imagine that amidst such a tense atmosphere, the two could maintain a deadlock for two hours straight.
By the time Dan Tingye and the others rushed back to the villa, everything in the living room remained unchanged; Diwu Zexuan was still sipping tea, and Bai Zheng still glaring at him!
"Dad..."
Meimei walked in from the doorway, noticing the obviously unwell-looking Bai Zheng sitting on the sofa, and cautiously spoke.
As soon as her voice fell, Bai Zheng stood up from the sofa, striding directly toward Diwu Zexuan.
