Chapter 227: Chapter 220: Charity Gala (Part 5)
Actually, those familiar with Bai Yiran and Bai Qianyu as sisters know that they share the same father but have different mothers, and their relationship has always been tense. Bai Qianyu never expected Bai Yiran to reveal this in public. Gu Manliās rise as a mistress was a lifelong shadow for Bai Qianyu, leading to people constantly pointing fingers at her, saying she was an illegitimate child.
Because of this, she naturally harbors hostility toward Bai Yiran.
"Bai Yiran, donāt go too far!" Bai Qianyu gritted her teeth, feeling that everyoneās gaze on her had changed.
"Iām going too far?" Bai Yiran shrugged, "Iām just stating a fact, how is that going too far?"
"Alright, both of you, stop talking!" Yao Zhiqing intervened, as the people were her guests, representing her company.
Bai Yiran nodded at Yao Zhiqing, not minding to end this boring argument.
Bai Qianyu couldnāt swallow this, "The fact is, Dad and my mom were true love!"
"So, they rushed to get married a week after the first wifeās death?" Bai Yiran didnāt want to entangle with Bai Qianyu further, but Bai Qianyu wouldnāt let it go, even bringing up this so-called true love? Bai Yiran didnāt care what it was, she just knew the ultimate victim was her own mother.
Bai Yiran wanted to leave some face for Bai Qianyu; after all, this was also her own family matter, and it wasnāt good to say it out openly. However, Bai Qianyu was the kind of person who wouldnāt appreciate it even when given face, so Bai Yiran could only comply with her wishes.
"You!" Bai Qianyu was furious, suddenly standing up, drawing the attention of nearby people.
Yao Zhiqing felt she had never been so embarrassed before, "Bai Qianyu, sit down now!"
Bai Qianyu glared at Bai Yiran resentfully, wanting to slap her. But now she had already become the focal point in a small area, and Yao Zhiqingās face was extremely grim, Bai Qianyu bit her lip, forcibly swallowed her indignation, and slowly sat down.
At this moment, Ming Kaiās parents also noticed the relationship between Bai Yiran and Bai Qianyu, feeling even more dissatisfied with Bai Yiran. A child from such a chaotic family, how could they be decent?
Even though he was far away, Leng Yichen still noticed the commotion at Bai Yiranās table, and waved to Wang Hai not far away, "Go and see whatās going on."
Bai Yiran saw Wang Hai approaching from a distance, "Brother Hai?"
Wang Hai walked over politely and stood by Bai Yiranās side with a respectful face, "The boss heard some commotion on your side and asked me to inquire about what happened."
Everyone recognized Wang Hai, knowing him as someone accompanying Leng Yichen, representing that he was Leng Yichenās man. Now he came over to inquire about Bai Yiranās situation, representing that Leng Yichen was asking about Bai Yiranās situation.
The surrounding people were shocked, could this woman know Leng Yichen?
These people sitting in the back rarely had the chance to know Leng Yichen, even if they did, it would be through connections. Just like Yao Zhiqing, she also had the opportunity to dine at the same table with Leng Yichen through her husband. And her husband entered the circle through someone elseās connections.
So, now that Leng Yichen actually sent someone to show concern for this unknown assistant, it was simply unbelievable.
Ming Kaiās parents were especially shocked, including Ming Kai himself. They had clearly encountered Leng Yichen when they had dinner at Ming Xuanās last time, and at that time, Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen didnāt show any signs of knowing each other.
"Iām fine." Bai Yiran answered calmly, she also noticed the scrutiny from around her and couldnāt help but frown, disliking the fact that anything related to Leng Yichen would make her an object of attention, something she really didnāt like.
Wang Hai nodded and turned to report back.
In the unnoticed background, a waiter quietly listened to the conversation at this table, then silently walked to a corner table, which was temporarily added and only half occupied.
The waiter bent down and whispered a few words to a man at the table, then the man gave the waiter several red banknotes, the waiter smiled, thanked him, took the money, and left.
Wu Chengzuās wolf-like eyes roamed between Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.
"What an interesting bunch of people!"
