Chapter 252: Chapter 245: What Are the Odds?

On the way to Liu Fei in the car, Bai Yiran received a phone call from Leng Yichen. With the time difference between the two countries, they just asked about each other’s situation briefly and then hung up.

Yao Zhiqing saw Bai Yiran put away her phone and asked, "Mr. Leng?"

"Hmm?" Bai Yiran didn’t react at first, then realized that the Mr. Leng Yao Zhiqing was talking about was Leng Yichen, and nodded, "Yes, it’s him."

"He really cares about you." Yao Zhiqing smiled, but couldn’t hide the envy in her eyes.

"President Gao cares about you too!" Yao Zhiqing’s husband is surnamed Gao.

A flash of harshness crossed Yao Zhiqing’s eyes, then she replaced it with a smile tinged with a bit of sadness, "Yes, Old Gao does care about me."

Then the car fell into an awkward silence, and Yao Zhiqing stopped talking, making Bai Yiran feel a bit awkward. In her impression, Yi Zhiqing and her husband seemed to have a good relationship, but gradually she discovered that it didn’t seem to be the case. Yao Zhiqing never mentioned her husband in front of everyone, and the last time they bought clothes together, Yi Zhiqing only contemptuously referred to her husband as ’just a decoration’.

Bai Yiran felt strange, seeing a seemingly harmonious couple, but actually, it didn’t seem like that. But Bai Yiran quickly sorted out her thoughts, after all, this was other people’s domestic affairs and had nothing to do with her, an outsider.

After a burst of awkward silence, Yao Zhiqing spoke again, "Yiran, today we’ll meet with some distinguished ladies from wealthy families. There’s a woman named Ma Li who is quite special; she has some background, so be cautious when talking to her."

"Hmm." After hearing Yao Zhiqing’s words, Bai Yiran nodded solemnly.

"By the way." Yao Zhiqing suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Bai Yiran, "Does Mr. Leng know that I’m taking you to Liu Fei?"

Bai Yiran was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "He doesn’t know."

"Do you plan to tell him?" Yao Zhiqing asked.

"No plans to." If she did, she probably wouldn’t be able to go, and Wang Hai would likely be surrounding them with people by now.

Yao Zhiqing gave Bai Yiran a deep glance, but ultimately said nothing more.

The car continued towards Liu Fei.

This was Bai Yiran’s second time at a nightclub like this since the last time at Golden City. For some reason, as soon as she entered Liu Fei, Bai Yiran felt a bit uncomfortable, her mind constantly recalling the first encounter with Yin Tianshen at Golden City.

Yao Zhiqing walked in front, while Bai Yiran followed behind. The landscape along the way surprised Bai Yiran; this place didn’t just cater to male customers but also to female ones... This novel finding made Bai Yiran feel uneasy, wondering if they might even assign her a young man or something later... Just the thought of it made Bai Yiran uncomfortable.

Bai Yiran’s phone rang at this moment; the caller was Lou Jing.

"Are you back yet?" The familiar voice of Lou Jing came over the phone.

Bai Yiran smiled, "I’m back."

"Are you trying to annoy me? If you’re back, why haven’t you contacted me?"

"I came back the day before yesterday, then some things happened, and today I went to work. I was thinking I’d contact you tomorrow or the day after. I’ve got so much to tell you."

"Then tonight!"

"Tonight’s no good; I’m accompanying the boss to an event."

Lou Jing heard the noise on Bai Yiran’s end and couldn’t help asking, "Where are you right now?"

"Liu Fei."

"Liu Fei!" Lou Jing was shocked, worried that Bai Yiran might run into that Bai Chuan. "Yiran..."

While Bai Yiran was on the phone with Lou Jing, Yao Zhiqing had already reached the door of their destination private room and turned to look at her.

"Lou Jing, I’ll stop talking for now, we’ll meet again tomorrow." She said quickly, and hung up, trotting after Yao Zhiqing.

Lou Jing put down the phone powerlessly, thinking that Liu Fei is so big, with so many people, Bai Yiran probably wouldn’t coincidentally run into Bai Chuan, right?
