Chapter 112: Chapter 106: Seeking Help
"Yes, yes! Grandma knows! Our Yiran will definitely be happy!"
Leng Yichen watched the grandmother and granddaughter with deep emotion; this kind of affection was something he had never felt before. This was also why he patiently won over Grandma instead of forcing them.
With Grandmaâs acceptance, Bai Yiran finally let go of a concern, no longer needing to lie and sneak around, which relieved her greatly.
...
After finishing a dayâs work, Bai Yiran went to the underground parking lot to get her car. She usually commuted separately from Leng Yichen because Leng Yichen was the companyâs decision-making CEO, while she was only a small associate, and their times at work and after work rarely coincided.
Just as the car started, a somewhat plump silhouette suddenly appeared, stretching his arms to block Bai Yiranâs way.
Bai Yiran was so startled that she slammed on the brakes, only then did she see the man recklessly standing in front of her car was Bai Hongguang!
In the cafĂ©, Bai Hongguangâs face carried an indescribable bitterness, no longer possessing the spiritedness he once had. If he had known heâd end up like this, perhaps he would have treated Bai Yiran better back then.
"Yiran, do you still blame Dad?" Bai Hongguangâs voice was bleak.
"What do you want to say?" Bai Yiran didnât bother to look at Bai Hongguang, who was playing the family card in front of her, as it made her feel disgusted.
"So you really canât forgive me." Bai Hongguang smiled bitterly, "Itâs true, I donât deserve to be your dad... But Yiran, have you forgotten how much I loved you when you were little?"
Bai Hongguangâs words made Bai Yiran feel momentarily lost, recalling her time before she was eight, before Cheng Tingâs death, when indeed she had a happy childhood then, cherished by her parents, living like a little princess.
However, everything changed after her motherâs passing. Then she understood that her father didnât love her the most, but Bai Qiantong and Bai Qianyu, and the woman he loved the most wasnât her mother, but Gu Manli!
"What do you really want to say? I still need to return home for dinner."
Bai Hongguangâs eyes were full of pleading, "Yiran, Dadâs company is failing; itâs Dadâs lifeâs work. Can you help Dad?"
"Help you? With what can I help you?"
"Youâre now Leng Yichenâs wife; whatever you say, he will surely listen! Yiran, Iâve already transferred twenty percent of the company shares to your name. Youâre now the third-largest shareholder in the Bai Family, so please, save the Bai Family!"
Bai Yiran sneered, "I donât covet those shares. Donât try to tie me to the Bai Family with them."
"No, those twenty percent shares originally belonged to you; it was your motherâs wish too!"
"Donât mention my mother! Do you have the right to bring her up?" Thinking of how Gu Manli still holds her motherâs photos, Bai Yiran felt Bai Hongguang was especially hateful now!
"I know, I know itâs my fault towards you both, but Yiran, Iâm still your dad!" Bai Hongguang reached out, his hand excitedly gripping Bai Yiranâs hands. Bai Yiran noticed the sunken scar on Bai Hongguangâs left hand, and her heart wavered.
She always remembered when she was chased and bitten by a vicious dog, and Bai Hongguang ignored the danger, rushed over, and held her up. As a result, that vicious dog bit deeply into Bai Hongguangâs left hand, tearing off a chunk of flesh, and now thereâs still a scar on Bai Hongguangâs hand.
