Chapter 21: A Woman Who Played Around

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Bai family was in chaos.

The Governess was clearly displeased. She didn’t want to stay and be embarrassed with Bai Yue. Dragging Fu Heng, she left angrily.

Bai Yue’s forced smile gradually disappeared. She glared at Bai Jing’s back and blamed all the ridicule and criticism on her.

In the courtyard, Qi Luan was wearing a white suit. He calculated the time and walked to Bai Jing with 99 Roses in his hands. He then presented them to her in public.

Leaning over, he whispered into Bai Jing’s ear with a smile, “How is it? Miss Bai, do you like President Si’s gift?”

“President Si?” Bai Jing was confused. She asked, “Are you talking about Logan?”

Qi Luan nodded and took it upon himself to introduce the antiques that Si Qian had bought from all over the world. He stole a glance at Bai Jing’s expression and noticed that her eyes were still cold and distant. Gradually, he became uncertain. Was this not enough to prove Si Qian’s financial strength?

Her standards are too high!

The remaining guests clicked their tongues and sighed. They did not expect Qi Luan to be fond of Bai Jing.

Everyone whispered that Bai Guangcai is blessed to have the young master of the Qi family as his son-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue went crazy with jealousy. She rushed to Qi Luan and pointed at Bai Jing. “Jing Jing just received her marriage certificate not long ago. Although she did not hold a banquet, she is considered married. Young Master Qi, isn’t it rather bad of you to come to the house and cause trouble?”

“Or did she not tell you about the marriage?”

Bai Yue was quite capable. With just a few words, she insinuated that Bai Jing was a woman who played around. Immediately, a wave of discussions started.

The guests again remained neutral and watched from the sidelines.

Qi Luan’s expression instantly became unsightly. He turned to Bai Jing for confirmation, “You... are married?”

“You didn’t know?”

Bai Jing tilted her head. This person had come to deliver a gift on Logan’s behalf, but he didn’t know that she was already married?

“How would I have known?”

Qi Luan was so flustered that he couldn’t tell left from right. He stuffed the gift into Bai Jing’s arms and left in a panic.

He has to notify President Si about the news quickly!

Pursuing a married woman is a violation of morality. If this was exposed, the losses incurred would be huge!

Having witnessed the situation, the guests switched sides almost immediately. They started to mock Bai Jing again, provoking her as they say, “At such a young age, you already know how to lie to men. If your husband knew that you cheated on him, he would probably chase you out of the house!”

“I couldn’t tell! She’s so daring to lie to the young master of the Qi family! Aren’t you afraid that the Qi family will come knocking on your door?”

The guests who didn’t know the truth continued to push their buttons. Bai Guangcai was so angry that he wanted to give Bai Jing a few slaps to recover from the humiliation he had received.

However, he was afraid of Bai Jing’s strange strength, so he could only scold her loudly, “Go back to your room!”

“What are you doing?”

Bai Jing ignored him and looked at the servants who moved the gifts in according to Bai Guangcai’s instructions. She said coldly, “These gifts have to be returned.”

Bai Guangcai coughed twice and pretended not to understand.

His face was full of reluctance. One must know that these antique calligraphy and paintings are worth a lot of money!

“Returned to who? Are you still thinking about Qi Luan? I advise you to give up as soon as possible!” Bai Guangcai said loudly.

Seeing the hidden greed in his eyes, the corners of Bai Jing’s lips curled up into a mocking smile. Her voice was cold with a hint of ridicule, “You know it belongs to someone else, yet you are still trying to fake ignorant to keep them. I presume you’re so used to stealing that you want to keep everything in your pocket!”

“Be careful not to break anything. You can’t afford to pay for the losses!”

Bai Jing was obviously referring to how Bai Guangcai had stolen Song Nianci’s inheritance. He felt so guilty that he didn’t dare to retort. He could only force himself to say, “So you dare to lecture me now? You’re the one who messed around outside and caused trouble. I’m helping you clean up your mess!”

Bai Jing admired his shamelessness. She wanted to say something, but she received a call from Logan.

She furrowed her brows and went into the dark to speak privately. “Tell the delivery man to come back and move all the things away. I can’t accept these things...”

“Don’t be polite. These are gifts to thank you for helping me with the research for the strength-enhancing drug. They are the rewards you deserve.”

“Don’t worry and accept them. Otherwise, I’ll think that you consider them too little.”

Si Qian played with the wine glass. He knew why Bai Jing couldn’t refuse. Sure enough, he heard silence on the other side.

Bai Jing narrowed her eyes and responded after she had made a decision, “I’ll develop the strength-enhancing drug as soon as possible.”

“Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”

Si Qian’s last words carried a barely noticeable smile.. He could imagine Bai Jing’s serious expression at that very moment.
