Chapter 397 - Bai Weirong with an Undying Faith

After being assured by Xin Qing’s promise that Jiang Rui would not catch again, she was still worrying.

“Ah Zi, where do you think we can go?” She made a lot of attempts to call Ah Zi out from the training room for she was now training with Wan Yi, hoping that one day she could defeat Bear.

“Do you want to go?” Ah Zi stared at her and asked. She had been informed by Chen Huan all the things happened these days. At the thought that Chen Chen had gone through a lot, she hoped she could stay at home and not go anywhere, especially, keeping a distance with Jiang Rui.

Chen Chen sighed and said, “Though Jiang Rui’s brother Xiao Rui and he now won’t arrest me, he still will fight for the custody of Tuan Zi against. What am I to do when Tuan Zi would go with him?”

“So, you want to hide away with Tuan Zi?” Ah Zi gave an embarrassing laugh and said, “You think he can’t find you with his capability? Except that you go to the outer space.”

“But I still feel perturbed if I’m staying at home, fearing that he will come one day.”

Ah Zi pulled her arms and waved. “Don’t be worried. The family island can keep you safe even from an aircraft carrier. Besides, where do you think in the world would be safer than your own home?”

After sending Chen Chen away, Ah Zi found someone was calling her, and it was an unknown caller.

“Ah Zi!” As soon as she answered it, Bear’s voice came out.

Ah Zi cursed him a bastard and was to hang up.

“Good news. Somebody will give you shares. Will you take it or not?” Bear directly lured her with benefit. After a pause, Ah Zi asked, “What share? You have a company?”

Bear began to explain Jiang Rui’s intention to her.

“Ah Zi, you are clear that Chen Chen likes our boss and, he likes her too. Will you see them go on like this? And Tuan Zi, she wants her parents to get together.”

Bear then went on, “When the store opens, you can settle down. Where can you find such a good thing without costing a penny?”

“Let me think about it and tell you later.” Ah Zi hung up the phone.

Bear turned around to wink at Scar and he said, “I think this will work out!”

When Scar was to utter something, a soldier cried “report” outside the door.

“Come in!”

Jiang Rui was viewing materials on the Internet and was looking for something which could arouse a girl’s attention. Suddenly, Scar’s head suddenly emerged.

“Boss, Bai Weirong’s here.”

“Drive her out.” Jiang Rui did not even raise his head.

Scar said after seconds of hesitation, “She said she went to the training field to see Bai Ziqi.”

Jiang Rui looked up and said impatiently, “Then go. It’s break time and she can visit him.”

“But she was wounded by a shot…”

Obviously, Bai Weirong kept it from her family that she visited Bai Ziqi. She had heard Chen Chen went back home for recovering and it was said she was one of the Wan family. Every family like hers had heard of the Wan family.

From her perspective, Jiang Rui would not marry a daughter of an arms dealer, which equated to being the enemy of the country. She heard that at the door of the study yesterday when Bai Qi was telling Bai Kai not to provoke Chen Chen in case they offend the Wan family.

“He was not more than a powerful leader of the underworld. What’s cool about that! What are grandpa’s scruples? This’s the best chance for me to get back Jiang Rui. How can he stand in the way to prevent me from him?” Bai Weirong mumbled while she was walking blindly into the shooting gallery.

In the gallery, the new soldiers were practicing in shooting and she was knocked by the stake which had been shot flying. Her foot was swollen instantly, like a pig’s foot.

Jiang Rui went to the clinic with a dark face. As soon as he stepped into the room, Bai Ziqi was caught cursing, “Why do you come to the army? Do grandpa and dad know it?”

“I’m here to see you. Why are you scolding me?” Bai Weirong’s foot hurt a lot and his brother’s words made her burst into tears.

The platoon leader who was in charge of the target practice was constantly apologizing to her. But as soon as he saw Jiang Rui, he saluted Jiang Rui immediately.

“Who allows her to run around? Are you all dead?” Jiang Rui asked coldly.

The little soldier standing at the door almost cried and said, “I’m sorry. Miss Bai said she wanted to walk alone and didn’t allow me to follow her. It’s all my fault and I’ll take the blame.”

“Go and run twenty laps.” Bear winked at him and the soldier got it instantly. After giving a salute, he ran away.

Bai Ziqi saluted Jiang Rui too and said, “It’s all my sister’s fault. Please send instructions.”

His words meant he would accept whatever punishment.

“How is she now?” Jiang Rui glanced at Bai Ziqi and turned around to ask the surgeon. But the surgeon said with a face which indicated it was not a big deal, “It’s just dislocation of her foot. With some Tiger-Bone Oil, she will recover in a few days.”

Jiang Rui waved at Bear and said, “Send Miss Bai home and the rest go back in place.”

Bai Ziqi and other soldiers saluted him and left right away. Bai Weirong lowered her head since Jiang Rui came in. But knowing she was about to be sent home, and Bai Ziqi just left her away, she stood on her feet immediately. As a result, her foot ached and fell into Jiang Rui’s arms.

“If you wish to break your foot, don’t break when I’m present.” Jiang Rui caught her arm and seeing she drew near, he pushed her away directly.

When Bai Weirong chuckled to herself because Jiang Rui helped her stand, but she was pushed back onto the bed again. Then she rose and looked up at Jiang Rui. “Jiang Rui, my grandpa will be angry if you send me back like this.”

“It’s your business, and has nothing to do with me.” Jiang Rui turned around to leave and said, “If she doesn’t want to leave, send her to the army hotel.”

Bear saluted him at once and said, “Yes, Sir!”

“Miss Bai, stop looking. My boss has been gone.”

Bai Weirong stood up angrily and said, “Help me. How can I walk by myself?”

Bear reached out one arm and said, “Eh, hold fast.”

Because Bear did not help her well, Bai Weirong’s foot hurt greatly. When she struggled to get to the car, Bear let her get on by herself. When the car arrived in the downtown, Bai Weirong knocked at the car door and shouted. “Stop, stop! I want to get off.”

“Are you sure? It’s still far away from your home.” Bear reminded her with a good intention.

Bai Weirong opened the door and said, “I’ll call a taxi and I don’t need you.”

“It’s going to rain. You’d better think it through!”

“Bang!” The shut of the door answered his question.

Bear turned to the intersection and observed in secrecy, bearing it in mind that he must ensure Bai Weirong’s safety. Otherwise, they would be to blame.

As expected, several minutes later, the rain began to fall, which was the first rainy day since the S City went into Spring. It grew bigger with coldness.

Standing awkwardly on the roadside, Bai Weirong could catch a taxi at all. She regretted her decision. When she was shivering, a Lamborghini stopped by her side.

“Miss Bai?” Lu Tao rolled down the car window and said, “Get in!”

“You are?” Bai Weirong did not know him.

Seeing she was poured through by the rain, he came to her holding an umbrella over her head. Then he opened the car door and said, “I’m Lu Tao, from the Lu family!”

Bear saw Bai Weirong get in Lu Tao’s car and drove away till they left.

“Boss, Lu Tao and Bai Weirong hooked up.” He told the whole story to Jiang Rui.

“Even if they have not met by accident today, Lu Tao will somehow create an opportunity.” Jiang Rui’s hand flipped on the seat back and he then said, “Never mind them. The Bai family won’t take action for the moment.”

Bear was confounded and asked, “What are they waiting for?”

“An opportunity,” Jiang Rui curled his lip corner and continued, “an opportunity that Bai Ziqi would bring to them.”

After days of thinking, Ah Zi finally worked it out.

“Chen Chen, in my opinion, you should stay at home. Well, as for me, I’ll see if there’s any chance for me to start a business. Let’s open a store together!” Ah Zi pulled Chen Chen to lie down on the hammock by the seaside, both of them holding a coconut.

“Open a store?” Chen Chen gave her a glance and asked, “Didn’t you say we’re in an economic crisis and we would lose money no matter what we would sell?”

Ah Zi hissed and said, “Well… there must be some options that won’t make us lose money. You can see so many stores on the street that are still open!”

“Seems reasonable.” Chen Chen nodded and said, “I can borrow some money from my dad. Will he support me?”

“Nonsense!” Ah Zi rolled her eyes and said, “your family’s so affluent. He won’t say anything even if he gives you tens of millions. Besides, you won’t run around if we open a store. And your family won’t worry about you if they know your location.”

Chen Chen loved to act up. Hearing Ah Zi’s proposal, she was greatly motivated and started to look for the program that would suit her the best.

“Personally, I love dessert and ice-cream.” Chen Chen asked Ah Zi, “what do you think?”

Ah Zi thought it nothing important and said, “Whatever!” She was clear even if they sold rubbish, Jiang Rui would not let them lose money.

“But by then we have to employ workers and I don’t want it to be so complicated.” Chen Chen whispered to herself, “I think we have to make our store a homelike place. We’d better not hire anyone. We two would be enough!”

Ah Zi simply answered yes but Chen Chen gave her a stare and said, “Hey. It’s you who propose it. Why am I busy only?”

“I’m thinking about it too!” Ah Zi sat down and continued, “according to your requirement, we can sell some gadgets, like dolls, accessories or some weird little stuff!”

Follow Ah Zi’s hint, Chen Chen began to search online and around two weeks later, she finally struggled to make a decision.

“Let’s go to Yunnan!” She said to Ah Zi while booking flight tickets.

Ah Zi made a joke, “Do you want to sell drugs?”

“Ew!” Chen Chen pulled her to the computer. “Look, how beautiful these accessories are, all handmade, with ethnic features. I want to check it out. If we can find a supplier, we will sell these!”

“Well, those are pretty.” Ah Zi nodded. “Then I’ll pack the luggage!”

Regarding Chen Chen’s decision to open a store, everyone knew that it was Jiang Rui’s plan, but nobody said anything.

Chen Huan said to her, “Take your time. You can enjoy yourself for more days and take it as a trip.”

Tuan Zi helped Chen Chen to pack her luggage. Chen Chen asked her apprehensively, “Tuan Zi, will you join us?”

“I won’t go!” Tuan Zi shook her head and said, “I’ll be with grandma.”

Chen Huan pulled her and kissed her. “What a good child!”

“Because dad has called me and told me not to go…”

Three days later, Chen Chen and Ah Zi took a speed boat and arrived at the nearest city. Then they came to the capital and then to Yunnan all by flight.

“Don’t you think it would be better if we take a private plane from your family?” Ah Zi complained all the way down. “The food in the domestic airline sucks.”

Chen Chen laughed while drinking a tin of coke. “It’s not fun to take a private plane. Only this can count as a trip!”

“We are in the first-class cabin. But look at this honeydew. It’s not even sweet!” Ah Zi continued her complaint. However, they took no notice of the seat not far away. Someone was watching them…
