Chapter 125 The Naughty Bai Huanqing

Qi Chong's eyes instantly widened to the size of copper bells, and his mouth opened into an O shape in surprise.

Has the world developed so rapidly?

Mr. Xie and Miss Ruan have been together for less than a month.

He stared at Xie Qingcen intently, forgetting to react for a moment. He

had completely lost the appearance of the shrewd and perfect personal assistant in the past.

Xie Qingcen frowned slightly, his dark eyes slightly raised, and a slight snort suddenly escaped from his throat.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Qi Chong came back to his senses in an instant. He closed his lips that were slightly opened in shock, pursed his lips imperceptibly, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Xie, does Miss Ruan agree with your idea?" Mr.

Xie was thinking about getting married without even proposing. This is a bit too fast for him to fall in love.

No, it's too greedy.

In today's society, it is simply impossible to get married without a perfect and romantic proposal ceremony. It

's simply getting something for nothing.

Even though Mr. Xie is worth hundreds of billions and has no shortage of money, he still has to show his attitude.

Qi Chong frantically began to recall in his mind to see if he had missed anything.

To see if Xie Qingcen had already instructed him on certain things, and it wasn't so sudden...

The more he recalled, the tighter his brows furrowed, and in the end, all his thoughts turned into a helpless sigh.

Qi Chong raised his eyes and looked at Xie Qingcen, his eyes were indescribable.

Xie Qingcen pursed his lips and frowned slightly. He knew what Qi Chong was thinking without even thinking about it.

As an assistant, his academic qualifications, abilities, and intelligence in terms of human relations were absolutely impeccable, but he just happened to like to think divergently on certain things.

Xie Qingcen's heart sank, he raised his eyes, and a hint of obvious disgust flashed across his eyes.

He took a deep breath, his handsome features tinged with a hint of resignation, yet he forced himself to speak. "She proposed to me, and that's not enough? And is this even your concern?"

"Isn't your most important priority right now to get what I want from the old house? Qi Chong, have I been too lenient with you, causing you to even dare to question me?"

With the last sentence, Xie Qingcen narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Qi Chong with a deep, icy warmth, the temperature in his eyes dropping to freezing.

Qi Chong's body stiffened instantly.

He instinctively straightened his back, his expression returning to a respectful demeanor, though a hint of nervousness and apprehension still lingered in his eyes.

His palms sweated slightly, and his voice trembled slightly. "Mr. Xie, I overstepped my bounds. Don't be angry. I'll go to the old house right away and get what you want. I won't let you down."

With that, Qi Chong stood still, his brows lowered, like a soldier awaiting trial, his face involuntarily etched with caution and worry.

Xie Qingcen stared at Qi Chong intently, his brows deep, his dark eyes shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to discern his specific emotions.

The aura around him grew increasingly gloomy.

After a while, just as Qi Chong could no longer hold on and was about to fall, Xie Qingcen finally made a move.

He withdrew his gaze indifferently, his handsome face as indifferent as ever.

He said expressionlessly, "When we get to the old house, just tell the truth. I, Xie Qingcen, don't need to hide or dodge when getting married. Also, give Ms. Zeng a little warning to dissuade her from meeting Ruan Liuzheng early."

"Tell her that when the time comes, I will naturally bring people to see her in person."

Qi Chong nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xie."

...

After Qi Chong left, Xie Qingcen turned around and looked outside the Hanfei Building again. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his dark eyes becoming increasingly dim and obscure.

His slender, jade-like fingertips kept stroking, as if he was reminiscing about something.

In reality, he wasn't a heavy smoker, only resorting to tobacco to numb himself when faced with something truly troubling or difficult to resolve.

But today, he lit up to control himself.

Since yesterday afternoon, he'd already largely guessed what had transpired between Ruan Liuzheng and the lawyer named Shen.

Especially after Ruan Liuzheng's sudden question in the car, his certainty about their conversation had only grown stronger.

Although he was still young when Old Master Ruan was alive and knew very little about him,

Old Master Ruan had single-handedly built the Ruan family's business empire, and his abilities were far superior to that idiot Bai Xunan.

How could such a shrewd and capable man, upon learning Bai Xunan's true colors, do nothing and give away the wealth he'd worked so hard to build his entire life?

And what an ungrateful Bai Xunan!

Wouldn't such an act be sending his daughter and beloved granddaughter into a desperate situation?

So Xie Qingcen guessed that Old Master Ruan might have a backup plan, but he hadn't expected that the things Old Master Ruan had left for Ruan Liuzheng would actually lend him a helping hand.

Getting married was something he'd been expecting.

Xie Qingcen's thin lips curled slightly, a faint smile playing in his dark eyes.

He had a feeling Ruan Liuzheng would make a decision today, and if nothing unexpected happened, she'd call him soon.

Although time was short, and even the purpose of the marriage wasn't what he'd hoped for, he couldn't deny that as long as the person was Ruan Liuzheng, he was extremely willing and happy.

Xie Qingcen frowned, his dark eyes fixed on the phone in his hand, a subtle glint flickering across them. A

faint sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

...

Because Old Master Ruan had left Ruan Liuzheng so many things, trying to load them all into the car all at once was simply impossible.

Fortunately, the First Bank's service was very considerate. Seeing that Ruan Liuzheng was having some difficulties, the bank manager called two bank staff members to help Ruan Liuzheng move the valuable gift boxes that contained Mr. Ruan's deep love for her.

In no time, all the things that Mr. Ruan had left for Ruan Liuzheng were placed in Ruan Liuzheng's car.

Ruan Liuzheng expressed her gratitude to the bank staff and watched them leave.

She turned around and was about to return to the car to call Xie Qingcen, but unexpectedly ran into an extremely disgusting person.

Bai Huanqing came with Feng Zhuyi, holding an exquisite box.

They had smiles on their faces and were very intimate, like a pair of close sisters rather than mother and daughter.

It was because Feng Zhuyi took such good care of herself that there was no trace of aging on her face. Coupled with her face that was similar to Bai Huanqing,

weren't they a pair of sisters who were more like biological children than biological children?

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes dimmed slightly. Not surprisingly, she thought of her deceased grandfather and mother, and hatred instantly surged in her heart.

She closed her eyes, trying to suppress the rage that was about to burst out, then opened them, ignored the two people walking towards her, and walked towards her car with a cold face.

However, Bai Huanqing and Feng Zhuyi did not want to do as Ruan Liuzheng wished.

Bai Huanqing took Feng Zhuyi's arm and walked arrogantly to Ruan Liuzheng, firmly blocking her way. The corners of her lips curved slightly, and her clear eyes were full of contempt.

Her voice was smiling, but her tone was indescribably provocative.

"Sister Liuzheng, why are you here at the bank too? Could it be that you don't have money to take out a loan from the bank again?"

Bai Huanqing smiled lightly, her clear eyes becoming more and more disdainful, but she still pretended to take out the jewelry box in her hand casually.

She said innocently, "Although you're divorced from Brother Yanci, you were once the wife of the president of the Fu Group." "

I'm truly sorry for you, seeing you've fallen to this point, but..."

Bai Huanqing glanced up at Ruan Liuzheng's expressionless face. A flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes, but she raised her lips, her brows soft. "Sister Liuzheng, before you do something like this, you should always consider Brother Yanci and the Fu Group's reputation, especially since you have a child."

"You have to set an example for your child."

Ruan Liuzheng stood still, expressionless, staring at Bai Huanqing. Her cold eyes were calm, as if she didn't take Bai Huanqing seriously at all.

And that was indeed the case.

She raised her eyes slightly, her gaze icy. "It seems the last art exhibition didn't teach you enough. What? Are you trying to give me money again?"

Ruan Liuzheng glanced at the box in Bai Huanqing's hand, a faint curve at the corner of her pale pink lips.

There was not a trace of warmth in those cold eyes.

Bai Huanqing's heart choked.

She was suddenly speechless because of Ruan Liuzheng's attitude.

She clenched the jewelry box in her hand, her clear eyes staring at Ruan Liuzheng, her eyes full of viciousness.

Then she seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her face immediately became sweet, even deepening a bit more than before.

She generously took out the jewelry box in her hand, opened it to reveal the luxurious and beautiful emerald inside, and looked provocatively, "If you really need money, I'm happy to lend it to you, but it may be a little difficult today." "

Because I came here specifically to store the jewelry today."

Bai Huanqing said while looking at Ruan Liuzheng's expression. Seeing Ruan Liuzheng's expression frozen, she felt happier in her heart.

The gentle eyebrows unconsciously revealed a sense of joy of achieving her goal.

She retracted her gaze and said, "Oh, I forgot. Sister should be familiar with this necklace. After all, this necklace is the only relic left by Brother Yanci's mother." "

Of course, it is also a family heirloom of the Fu family, specially left to the wife of the head of the Fu family for safekeeping."

Ruan Liuzheng's eyebrows were indifferent, and there was still no ripple in her cold eyes. She looked at the necklace, but she couldn't help but feel sarcastic in her heart.

Everything Bai Huanqing said was true.

She really didn't speak this time. The necklace in her hand was passed down from generation to generation among every wife of the head of the Fu family over the years.

It is a symbol of the power and status of the wife of the head of the Fu family.

However, after five years of marriage with Fu Yanci, this necklace has never been in Ruan Liuzheng's hands.
