Chapter 270: Chapter 263: If You Have the Guts, Come At Me

Bai Chuan looked at the man sitting in the private room, with a kingly demeanor, and his expression carried emotions that Bai Chuan did not like.

Frowning slightly, Bai Chuan said, "Sorry, I don’t entertain men."

Bai Chuan turned to leave, but was blocked by Wang Hai at the door, who looked at Bai Chuan with a gaze full of threat.

"What does this mean?" Bai Chuan turned back to look at Leng Yichen.

Leng Yichen casually poured himself two glasses of wine and said, "Sit down, let’s talk."

Bai Chuan glanced at Wang Hai at the door, then calmly walked over to sit down, "I didn’t expect the renowned Mr. Leng of Huamei International to be into this."

"You know me?" Leng Yichen took a sip of wine and looked at Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan smirked slightly, "You’re so famous, it’s not surprising I know you."

Leng Yichen put down his wine glass, his eyes flashing with dark light as he looked at Bai Chuan, "What did Mr. Bai Chuan do before?"

"Nothing good, not worth mentioning," Bai Chuan replied self-mockingly.

"Oh? Is that so?" Leng Yichen raised an eyebrow.

After a moment of silence, Leng Yichen spoke, "I investigated you."

Bai Chuan’s hand tightened, but his face was mocking, "I’m just a nobody, what’s worth investigating, Mr. Leng?"

Leng Yichen looked at him, their eyes clashing in mid-air, "But unfortunately, I found nothing."

Pouring another glass of wine, Leng Yichen downed it in one gulp, then stood up, "No matter who you are or what your intentions are, if you have guts, come at me, don’t bother Bai Yiran."

Bai Chuan also stood, facing Leng Yichen, "Mr. Leng, I don’t understand what you mean."

Leng Yichen stared at him, pursed his lips, and nodded lightly, "It’d better be that way."

With that, Leng Yichen walked away, and Wang Hai cast a deep look at Bai Chuan before following behind Leng Yichen.

Bai Chuan stared blankly at the private room door, grabbed the wine bottle on the table, and gulped down its contents. Slumping on the sofa, his eyes were full of irony and self-mockery.

***

Bai Yiran only found out that Xu Juan came here to borrow a house because some time ago, Leng Yichen’s cousin Yu Bin fell for a girl, but the girl’s family disapproved. In desperation, Xu Juan had to reveal that she was Leng Yichen’s direct aunt and claimed that Leng Yichen valued her greatly, and Yu Bin too, ensuring Yu Bin would have a place at Huamei International in the future. The girl’s parents finally relented a bit, and it happened that the girl was pregnant, so her family demanded a meeting with both sides.

Xu Juan had already boasted, declaring confidently that she lived in Leng Yichen’s house. Now that the girl’s family wanted to visit, she couldn’t very well take them to her own place, which was less than a hundred square meters, right?

So, Xu Juan had no choice but to set aside her dignity and ask Bai Yiran for help.

"Yiran, please do it for me, your aunt. Anyway, this house is so big, Xiao Mei’s parents are from out of town, they’re just staying a few days, and they’ll leave once they’ve seen the place," Xu Juan began to cry as she spoke, "I know I haven’t been good before, but even if not for me, can you at least consider that Yu Bin is your husband’s only brother and help us out? Xiao Mei’s expecting a child for the Yu Family, can’t you at least do it for the child’s sake? You’re so kind, consider it for your unborn nephew... Xiao Mei’s parents said if the environment isn’t suitable when they visit, they won’t agree to the marriage, and they’ll abort the baby..."

Bai Yiran didn’t care about anything else; she knew Xu Juan’s character too well, vain and ambitious. If it were just to satisfy Xu Juan’s vanity, Bai Yiran would never agree.

But, the child was Bai Yiran’s weakness. Hearing Xu Juan mention that the girl’s parents would abort the child if they didn’t agree, Bai Yiran softened. Seeing Xu Juan working so hard for her son now, there was some genuine effort.

"Alright, let them come as long as they don’t disturb us."

Xu Juan immediately broke into a smile, "Don’t worry, this house is so big. I’ll move in with Yu Bin tomorrow morning, and Xiao Mei and her parents will arrive in the afternoon."

With that, Xu Juan left happily.

Watching Xu Juan’s light and joyful gait, Bai Yiran felt a faint regret about her decision...

But, what to do? Words once spoken are like water poured...
