Chapter 191: Chapter 185: Turning Point (Part 3)

Xiao Zhou sent Bai Yiran an address in a shantytown. According to Xiao Zhou, she rented there to save money, wanting to personally cook a meal at home for Bai Yiran to express her gratitude for Bai Yiran’s care these past days.

Bai Yiran didn’t think much of it, and even Lou Jing felt the child was very thoughtful. Bai Yiran prepared a large red envelope to give to Xiao Zhou.

Almost four months in, Bai Yiran’s lower abdomen was already slightly bulging. She dared not wear tighter clothes now, opting for loose and comfortable attire.

Just after Bai Yiran changed and prepared to leave, Li Sha entered with two men.

Bai Yiran and Lou Jing were taken aback. What was going on? Seeing Li Sha and the two men looking ready for battle, a question like they were going off to war arose.

"Li Sha, are you here to crash the party?" Lou Jing joked.

Li Sha shook her head, "We are sent by the boss to ensure Miss Bai’s comfort."

Ensure Miss Bai’s comfort? Just say Leng Yichen sent them to protect her.

Bai Yiran rolled her eyes; now Leng Yichen was starting to play word games.

"I don’t need it; send them back to him. He should need manpower now." Bai Yiran told Li Sha.

"Miss Bai, please don’t make it difficult for them." Li Sha said lightly, "They, like me, have taken a year’s salary."

Bai Yiran was speechless. Such a formation clearly meant if she didn’t agree, she wouldn’t be able to leave today.

Are they all so overbearing?

Once outside, Bai Yiran saw that familiar Volvo. That was the car Leng Yichen bought under her name.

"He sent people but can’t even provide a better car!" Lou Jing jokingly commented, looking at the Volvo.

But Leng Yichen understood Bai Yiran in this regard; he knew an overly expensive car would be burdensome for her, and she wouldn’t like it.

Especially at this time, it was better for Bai Yiran to appear as inconspicuous as possible.

Bai Yiran nudged Lou Jing, cheerfully said goodbye, and got into the car.

One man drove, the other sat in the passenger seat, while Li Sha accompanied Bai Yiran in the back. The car drove calmly along a flat highway.

The house where Xiao Zhou lived in the shantytown was hard to reach by car. Reluctantly, Bai Yiran had to get out and walk.

In the crowded shantytown, with three stern-looking bodyguards trailing behind Bai Yiran, the sight was surreal, even causing some to wonder if a film crew was there.

When Bai Yiran arrived at Xiao Zhou’s house, the formation startled Xiao Zhou.

"Sister Bai, what’s... going on?"

"Uh..." Bai Yiran didn’t know how to answer Xiao Zhou momentarily; should she say it was her heartless ex-husband afraid she’d be harmed, thus sending protection?

Better not to say that and scare Xiao Zhou, lest she think Bai was insane.

"Xiao Zhou, this is Sister Li Sha; you should know her." Bai Yiran pointed to Li Sha behind her.

"Yes, Sister Li Sha, thank you for coming!" Xiao Zhou smiled sweetly.

In truth, Xiao Zhou and Li Sha didn’t get along well at the café, likely because Li Sha worked for free very diligently, which always aroused Xiao Zhou’s hostility.

Now, watching Xiao Zhou smile at Li Sha, Bai Yiran was happy too. After all, they’d be working together, and harmonious relations were best.

Given Xiao Zhou’s house was indeed small, not housing many people, and being a young girl’s bedroom, it was inconvenient for men to enter. Bai Yiran left the two stern men outside and went in with Li Sha.

Xiao Zhou prepared a table full of dishes, showing real effort. Bai Yiran happily took out a red envelope, "Happy Birthday. I didn’t have the time to prepare a gift."

Xiao Zhou took the envelope, her expression complex, "Sister Bai..."

"Take it!" Bai Yiran placed the envelope in Xiao Zhou’s hand.

Xiao Zhou stared at the envelope in a daze, unsure what she was thinking. She seemed somewhat uneasy.

"What’s wrong?"

"Hm?" Xiao Zhou inhaled, masking her expression, then smiled as she raised her head, "Thank you, Sister Bai. Let’s eat! I worked hard to prepare everything!"

As they were about to cut the cake, Lou Jing received a call.

Bai Yiran picked up the phone, hearing Lou Jing’s voice, "Yiran, something happened!"

"What happened?" Bai Yiran’s heart skipped a beat listening to Lou Jing.

"Just released news; Yin Tianshen met with a car accident on the way to the airport, the car and person both plunged into the sea. They found the car, but he hasn’t been retrieved yet; seems the worst could be expected!"

"What!"

Hearing the news, Bai Yiran’s body shuddered abruptly; was Yin Tianshen dead?
