Chapter 128 Ruan Liuzheng: I'll wait for your

Bai family at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Feng Zhuyi hurried in. As soon as Ruan Liuzheng left, she couldn't wait to rush back, and even gave up the original purpose of going to the bank.

From beginning to end, she and Bai Huanqing had never stepped into the bank's door, and the Fu family's heirloom necklace was still brought back intact.

Bai Huanqing went upstairs to put the necklace away, while Feng Zhuyi stood in the living room downstairs and started calling Bai Xunan.

When Bai Huanqing went downstairs again, Bai Xunan, who was supposed to be at work in the company, just walked in.

Seeing Bai Xunan, her eyes curved, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

She subconsciously quickened her pace, stepped forward and affectionately put her arm around Bai Xunan's arm, "Dad, you're back."

"Are you tired? Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?"

Bai Xunan looked at the caring Bai Huanqing beside him, and a trace of relief flashed across his eyes.

He raised his hand to stop Bai Huanqing from turning around, shook his head and said, "No, Daddy's not tired. By the way, didn't you and Mom go to the bank to deposit the necklace Yan Ci sent?" "

Why are you back so soon? And you're urging me to go home so anxiously. Did something happen?"

Bai Xunan asked as he led Bai Huanqing towards Feng Zhuyi.

His voice was gentle, his eyes were doting, and he barely concealed his affection for Bai Huanqing.

He was the image of a gentle and loving father.

Bai Huanqing unconsciously pursed her lips at these words, and her clear eyes glanced hesitantly at Feng Zhuyi on the sofa.

But just as she was about to tell Bai Xunan what had just happened, Feng Zhuyi suddenly interrupted her.

Feng Zhuyi stood up, her eyes lightly glancing at the servants around her, and gently shook her head at the father and daughter, "Let's go to the study and talk."

"Xunan, we're in big trouble."

Bai Xunan was stunned, and his brows gradually twisted into a knot.

In his memory, Feng Zhuyi had always been gentle and calm, never before had she looked so solemn.

Feng Zhuyi's expression reminded him of a certain moment in the past. Could it be...

Something had occurred to him, but the gentleness on Bai Xunan's face froze for a moment. His eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips gradually pursed into a straight line.

After a long pause, he nodded, "Hmm."

Arriving

in the study, Feng Zhuyi spoke a little impatiently, her usual gentle composure gone, before Bai Xunan could speak.

"Xunan, Ruan Liuzheng has met Chen Liang."

Feng Zhuyi stood before Bai Xunan, her eyes filled with undisguised anxiety and worry.

She had asked Huanqing to break up Ruan Liuzheng and Fu Yanci's engagement, to quickly restore Ruan Liuzheng to singlehood, to buy time for her to transfer assets.

Now, with Bai Huanqing about to marry into the Fu family, with the plan so close to success, why did she have to let Ruan Liuzheng know the truth at such a moment?

If she really came to Jiahe with the will and snatched away her shares, wouldn't all her efforts over the years be in vain?

She would lose a large part of the dowry she prepared for Bai Huanqing.

And without the support of Jiahe, how would Bai Huanqing gain a foothold in the Fu family?

Feng Zhuyi's mind was in a whirlwind for a while. She thought a lot, but the result of every idea was to stop Ruan Liuzheng from appearing to cause trouble.

It would be best to nip in the bud all the actions that Ruan Liuzheng was about to take.

Make sure she could never appear in front of them again, so that she could rest easy, and the things that belonged to Bai Huanqing would never be taken away by others.

Feng Zhuyi's grip on Bai Xunan's arm kept tightening, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Bai Xunan pursed his lips. He raised his hand and squeezed the back of Feng Zhuyi's cold hand, comforting her, "Don't worry, she just met with Chen Liang, and Jiahe is now an empty shell. Even if she takes it back, it won't be a big deal."

"How can it be a small deal!"

Feng Zhuyi heard this and gripped Bai Xunan's arm even harder. Her usually clear voice now sounded a little sharp.

Abnormally harsh.

Bai Xunan looked at Feng Zhuyi's excitement, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, Feng Zhuyi didn't care about Bai Xunan's thoughts at this moment.

She was now filled with the anxiety of having the duck in her mouth about to fly away, especially when it came to Bai Huanqing.

Without even glancing at Bai Xunan, she continued, "Huanqing is about to marry into the Fu family. If anything goes wrong with the company right now, how will Huanqing maintain her footing within the Fu family?"

"Although Jiahe is now a mere shell, it still has a strong reputation in the industry. As long as the foundation remains, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."

Feng Zhuyi shifted her focus, raising her eyes to look at Bai Xunan. Her words suddenly struck a chord with Bai Xunan.

Unconsciously, she added, "Besides, wasn't it because Huanqing held Jiahe shares that Mr. Fu agreed to marry, even at the cost of the Fu family's long-standing reputation?"

"If Huanqing doesn't gain the Fu family's approval, how can she support the Bai family in the future?"

Bai Xunan's expression changed, his previously indifferent expression suddenly becoming solemn.

He paused for a moment, then lifted his hand to free himself from Feng Zhuyi's restraints and walked towards the desk in front of him.

His eyes were deep, his voice silent, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts.

Feng Zhuyi and Bai Huanqing's gaze followed Bai Xunan's movements as they walked with him to his desk.

Feng Zhuyi stared at Bai Xunan, whose expression was indecipherable, gritted her teeth, a flicker of unnoticeable strangeness in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and glanced at Bai Huanqing beside her. Her meaning was clear.

After her words, Bai Xunan's heart had begun to waver.

With just one more stab at the fire, she was sure he would side with her and Bai Huanqing.

While she had no leverage to stop Ruan Liuzheng, Bai Xunan did.

With Ruan Liuzheng's current abilities, she had no chance of competing with the Bai Group.

The reason she had called Bai Xunan back in the first place was to convince him to use the Bai Group's power to deal with Ruan Liuzheng.

Yes, to convince him.

Feng Zhuyi knew full well that, due to her actions over the years, Jiahe's performance had plummeted, and it was no longer the Bai Group's most valuable subsidiary,

or even dispensable.

Moreover, Jiahe had witnessed Bai Xunan's most embarrassing moment.

Although Bai Xunan had refrained from assaulting Jiahe over the years out of respect for her, Feng Zhuyi knew he had never given up on abandoning her. Bai Xunan had always

wanted to completely sever ties with the Ruan family, prove his strength to everyone in Yuncheng's upper class, and ultimately shed the shame of being a son-in-law.

And his reputation of stepping on the flesh and blood of the Yue family to get to the top.

Men always attach great importance to that kind of self-esteem.

Feng Zhuyi raised a faint arc at the corner of her lips, and a hidden light flashed in her eyes.

Taking advantage of Bai Xunan's contemplation, she turned her head again and looked at Bai Huanqing, and this time her eyes were a little unquestionable.

Bai Huanqing received Feng Zhuyi's gaze, she nodded, and then stepped forward, two drops of water in her clear eyes.

She looked a little pitiful.

"Dad, if it's difficult, forget it. In fact, Huanqing can rely on herself to gain the recognition of Grandpa Fu and Brother Yanci. And, after all, Jiahe was once..."

...

After Ruan Liuzheng said that, she suddenly felt relieved. She tapped the steering wheel lightly with her fingertips and waited quietly for the answer from the person opposite.

Her brows were relaxed, her eyes were calm, and there was no trace of tension in her eyes.

She seemed completely unconcerned with Xie Qingcen's answer, as if she already knew it perfectly well and was confident in it.

If you ignored the way her lips were pressed together into a straight line, you'd be forgiven for ignoring it.

After an unknown amount of time, a low laugh rang out from the receiver, its tone magnetic and deep, lingering in her ears. It

was tingling and numb.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes fluttered, her breathing slowed, and she subconsciously moved the phone further away from her ear.

When the laughter died down, Xie Qingcen spoke softly across the table. His voice was clear and melodious, just a single word.

But it instantly brought Ruan Liuzheng's heart back to its feet.

And then—

Xie Qingcen said, "Okay."

Ruan Liuzheng paused for breath, the corners of her lips curling upward, but her voice remained calm. "You don't seem surprised at all?"

With that, the traffic light ahead suddenly turned green. Ruan Liuzheng glanced at the traffic ahead, her eyebrows raised, and she suddenly turned the steering wheel, dashing towards the intersection to the left.

She placed her phone on the nearby console and connected it to the car's Bluetooth. This way, she could drive carefully without missing a word from Xie Qingcen.

Xie Qingcen listened to the car horns blaring from his phone, his brows furrowing uncontrollably, his dark eyes unconsciously becoming more serious.

He pursed his lips and said, "Are you driving?"

Ruan Liuzheng nodded. "Yes, but what I want to know more about now is how you guessed my intentions?"

Xie Qingcen couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought about Ruan Liuzheng's tendency to multitask, especially on the unsafe road.

Naturally, it was due to worry.

His eyes sank, and his clear voice was filled with a magnetic seriousness, "You said this yesterday. As long as you are not a fool, I think your purpose today should be easy to guess." "

After all, neither of us is reckless and without reason."

Ruan Liuzheng smiled lightly, and a faint light suddenly flashed in the bottom of her cold eyes. She opened her lips and said, "I suddenly feel that I may never regret my recklessness today."

"Xie Qingcen, I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
