Chapter 236: Chapter 229: Wu Chengzu Is on a Business Trip
Because her body was incredibly sore before, Bai Qianyu took a day off that day. To show she was still reserved, she didnât immediately go to Wu Chengzu. However, just thinking about that man made Bai Qianyu eager and impatient again.
It was hard, but she held back for a day, thinking Wu Chengzu would come to her on his own, but she ended up waiting for nothing.
Today, she deliberately got up early, took a bath, applied makeup, and picked out her favorite outfit.
Gu Manli leaned against the door, looking at Bai Qianyuâs barely concealed excitement, "Caught a man?"
Hearing Gu Manli say something so vulgar, Bai Qianyu frowned, "Mom, why are you talking like a market shrew now?"
Gu Manli smiled, "What else can I be now?"
With no money, no house, no company, and a son who doesnât come home but stays with a paralyzed man, Gu Manli felt she was no different from a market shrew.
"Why canât you be elegant like before?"
"Ha!" Gu Manli found Bai Qianyuâs words ridiculous, "Elegant? Whereâs the money for elegance?"
Money again! All Gu Manli talked about was money! Bai Qianyu looked at her in the mirror, unwilling to continue the topic with her.
"Bathroom! I need to go to the bathroom!" Bai Hongguangâs voice came from the master bedroom.
The expressions on the mother and daughterâs faces turned ugly again.
"Mom, are we just going to stay here taking care of Dad?" Bai Qianyu complained. "Bai Yiran is also Dadâs daughter. Why can she just stay out of this? Even if she doesnât contribute physical effort, she should at least contribute financially!"
Bai Qianyu bit her lip thinking of the high-profile news of Leng Yichenâs attempt to reconcile with Bai Yiran. Ultimately, she wasnât resigned to it. In her heart, she still liked Leng Yichen. After all, how could she easily forget such a god-like man once he took residence in her heart?
Bai Qianyu arrived at the office building very early, but instead of going back to the company, she went to Wu Chengzuâs under-renovation office. Inside, it was still vast and empty, with only a few large boxes scattered around. Some workers in overalls were sitting on the ground playing poker, cigarettes hanging from their mouths, speaking indecent words.
Bai Qianyu was a bit shocked; this place wasnât as she imagined, and the companyâs renovation seemed to have stalled.
Chen Bei, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, was about to play a trump card when he saw Bai Qianyu peeking in from outside. He dropped his cards and stood up, his small eyes sizing her up. "Who are you looking for?"
Bai Qianyu was taken aback, "Iâm looking for the boss here, Wu Chengzu..."
Chen Bei rolled his eyes, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and blew the smoke at Bai Qianyu, "The boss is on a business trip!"
"Cough, cough!" Bai Qianyu coughed from the smoke and glared at Chen Bei unhappily, "On a business trip? How come I didnât know!"
"Who are you! Why would the boss tell you about his business trips!"
Bai Qianyu was stunned, looking at Chen Beiâs attire, assuming he was someone Wu Chengzu sent to oversee the construction, her voice softened, "Do you know where he went on the business trip?"
Seeing Bai Qianyuâs attitude soften, Chen Beiâs tone also improved, "Thailand!"
In the end, Bai Qianyu didnât get much from Chen Bei, only that Wu Chengzu had gone to Thailand.
She thought to herself that it was too coincidental; Yao Zhiqing was on a business trip today, just so happened to be in Thailand too...
Watching Bai Qianyu leave, Chen Bei dialed Wu Chengzuâs number, "Boss, that skanky woman from the video just came to find you."
What a coincidence, the footage of Bai Qianyu and the foreign guy in bed happened to have been recorded by Chen Bei...
On the other end of the phone, Wu Chengzuâs voice was low, laced with a playful undertone, "Got it."
