BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275 - 276: Father-in-law (4)
Exactly, trying to play the role of a father-in-law from the beginning, hoping to dominate him, but not considering if you’re even qualified to do so!
Qin Zhiyou chuckled and with one hand perched on the back of the chair and the other scrolling through his phone. He glanced at WeChat. Seeing no messages from Lu Weixi, he finally looked up: “I don’t have any demands. The only one is, we don’t collaborate with the Bai family.”
“You…” Isn’t this being unreasonable? Bai Changyou managed to maintain his composure, no matter how raging his thoughts were. He kept a polite and gentle facade: “I don’t believe I have ever offended you, and the Bai family has never offended Hanhai either. Furthermore, technically speaking, you and I are relatives, there’s no need for such a cold front.”
Qin Zhiyou didn’t say anything, just smiled and picked up his wine glass, his fingers gently swirling it around.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry to argue, Bai Changyou tried to persuade him: “Take for instance what just happened. I wasn’t happy about what occurred. Xixi is your wife, but it’s quite well known you’ve been playing around. However, as a man, it’s inevitable that you can’t get rid of some women. I understand. Next time I see Xixi, I’ll talk to her.”
“Uncle Bai.” Qin Zhigu couldn’t listen any more.
Qin Zhiyou slightly smirked, let out a soft snort, grasping his glass, he drained the wine and slammed the glass back onto the table: “I don’t need to be your enemy, neither does my company. The one with a grudge against you is Weixi. She has a grudge against you and hence, I need to as well. If her own father doesn’t want her, I’ll take her. I could never abandon my wife over some external woman, that would be too disgraceful.”
Bai Changyou looked livid as he stood up.
Qin Zhiyou put his hands in his pockets, smiling faintly: “Don’t pull the father-in-law act with me, I’m not buying it. Weixi doesn’t even acknowledge you as her father. What father-in-law are you still playing? She’s now a Lu, not a Bai. If you want to collaborate with the Bai family, that’s not impossible. But it will be a thirty-seventy deal at least, anything less, forget it. You don’t need to come looking for me, it won’t do any good.”
Bai Changyou’s face turned from green to white, after a long while, he managed to smile: “Very well, Xixi certainly made a good choice in a husband. However, in a short while, Rushuang will be returning. As I recall, Xixi and Rushuang used to be good friends, isn’t that right?”
Upon mentioning “Rushuang”, Qin Zhiyou’s eyebrows subtly furrowed. After making no remarks, he turned and went back to his room.
Once in his room, Qin Zhiyou took out his phone, still no messages from Lu Weixi. Actually, in the past, no matter where he went, she never volunteers to leave him a message. The only time was when Hanhai had an accident, and she liked the post on his Moments.
But recently, maybe because they have been inseparable, he felt that their relationship had softened, but she still won’t say a word to him, making him slightly upset.
Feeling irked, Qin Zhiyou yanked off his tie and called for Secretary Wang: “Has the Young Madam been looking for you?”
Secretary Wang shook his head, why would she look for him?
“Then how’s it going with her assistant? What’s her current situation, why…” Why won’t she even send a message?
“It’s good. Her assistant said that since she took on the Siyi case, she’s been swamped with work.”
Oh, she’s busy with work, that’s alright. Qin Zhiyou picked up his phone to message her, but he didn’t know what to say.
Especially regarding this matter with Fang Rushuang…
