Chapter 440: Chapter 441: Looking for Trouble (4)
At this moment, Bai Changyou glanced at the monitor in the intensive care unit, his eyes flashing with a hint of reluctance. However, this was quickly replaced with fury: “Your mother was already seriously ill and even without today’s incident, it’s hard to say how much longer she could have survived. Besides, Yiren only told her about Qin Zhiyou’s affair. Are you going to ruin the collaboration between Hanhai and the Bai family because of this?”
Lu Weixi, after being slapped harshly by him, slowly turned her head to look at him. Her expression was calm as she calmly said, “This slap… I consider it a repayment for the twenty-one years of upbringing I owe you.”
Bai Changyou furrowed his brows in an instance. “What do you mean! Are you the one who instigated Hanhai to not cooperate with the Bai family?”
On his side, Mrs. Cai continued to play the good person. “Alright, alright, Changyou, don’t be mad. Wei Hui was just upset about her mother’s condition. Work is work, it shouldn’t be mixed with personal disputes. Even if Wei Hui doesn’t understand, Zhiyou surely does.”
Lu Weixi didn’t even glance at Mrs. Cai, her gaze firmly fixed on Bai Changyou. “If I had known about your behavior now, I would not have told Zhiyou to not work with you.”
After delivering a slap, Bai Changyou’s rage subsided a bit, but his voice remained low. “That’s more like it!”
Before his words finished, Lu Weixi suddenly burst out, her pupils reflected a blade-like fierceness. “I would directly plead with him to ruin the Bai family! Let Bai’s business disappear from Earth!”
“You! -” Enraged, Bai Changyou swung another heavy slap. His right hand lashed out.
Lu Weixi had just endured his slap because she was willing to. Now she dodged to the back.
Missing his target, Bai Changyou was consumed with rage. He took another step forward, once again raising his arm to lash out at Lu Weixi’s face!
“Slap!” The heavy sound was not of the slap landing on Lu Weixi’s face, but of Bai Changyou’s arm being abruptly intercepted and then forcefully flung back.
It was Qin Zhiyou!
He had just gone to the bathroom. To facilitate communication with Lu Weixi, he had sent Secretary Wang and the others away, allowing Bai Changyou and his ilk to freely enter.
However, seeing Bai Changyou slap Lu Weixi and wanting to do it again, his blood boiled, and his anger practically exploded!
Pushing Bai Changyou away, he immediately moved forward, pulling Lu Weixi into his arms. Seeing the glaring handprint on her face, he was furious!
Bai Changyou almost fell down after being shoved. He steadied himself by holding onto the back of a chair. Before he could say anything, Qin Zhiyou started to roar. “How dare you hit her?”
Bai Changyou lost face after being pushed away and retorted, “I’m her father, why can’t I hit her?”
“Her last name is Lu, and yours is Bai. What does her business have to do with you? Besides, she just said that she has paid back all her debt to you. Do you have the face to call yourself ‘dad’?” After scolding Bai Changyou, Qin Zhiyou turned to look at his wife. His words instantly softened, gently brushing the wound on her face. “Does it hurt?”
“Qin Zhiyou, stop pretending.” Bai Changyou was not so easily to be defeated by his words. “Her mother’s illness was triggered by your scandalous news!”
