Chapter 627 - Heard It (1/2)
Xia Ruoxin found the situation funny. What did she need all that money for? If she really wanted those, she wouldn't have refused him when Chu Lui had already given half of his fortune to her. Even without half of Chu Lui's fortune, just one-tenth of it would be comparable to the whole fortune of the Bai family's.
”As long as you agree, I would let you and your daughter to marry into the Bai family,” added Bai Zhenfeng.
His every word and sentence took Xia Ruoxin like a fool and an idiot. If Gao Yi really admitted guilty, he would be sent to jail; and she would just be marrying air in the Bai family. Moreover, with Bai Luoyin's psychotic personality, she would torment her and her daughter. Also, Bai Luoyin would not agree to a divorce so Gao Yi might end up marrying two wives, or she had to marry Bai Luoyin even.
When Bai Zhenfeng was about to continue, Xia Ruoxin interrupted rudely.
”Mr. Bai, you've said much, and I understand what you mean. However, I want to know what powers do you think I have to convince Gao Yi to take the rap for something he did not do?”
”Because you're Xia Ruoxin.” Bai Zhenfeng boomed, and dramatic anger could be seen in his eyes.
However, all this could not affect Xia Ruoxin. After escaping from Chu Lui, she was no longer the Xia Ruoxin of the past. Bai Zhenfeng's threat could not even compare to one-tenth of Chu Lui's. Perhaps, whatever Chu Lui did then was not all wrong—at the very least, the shock that her heart could handle was a lot worse than what she thought.
She mockingly opened her mouth and sneered rudely; it was impossible for Bai Zhenfeng to miss it.
”I know my name is Xia Ruoxin, not Gao Yi.”
Bai Zhenfeng realized he was too temperamental so he suppressed the discomfort in his chest. This time, he looked friendlier; but the arrogant vibe around him did not decrease.
He laughed coldly, ”Just based on that day he was willing to go against me for you, I knew that if you go, he would definitely agree.”
”However, did he not listen to you—in the end—and marry Bai Luoyin?” Xia Ruoxin held her head high and smiled lightly, but Bai Zhenfeng wanted to destroy whatever was behind the smile.
As expected, Bai Zhenfeng's face darkened. A distinguished stakeholder of a company, who had secured many business deals and earned a lot of money after being involved in many serious discussions, was turned into a monster that did not have common sense and would spout nonsense randomly.
Xia Ruoxin did not know whether she should commend her dad's gracious heart, or perhaps it was precisely that type of love had harmed Bai Luoyin. Whatever she wanted as a child, she would get it for sure; even if she could not, she would destroy the extra food.
”I'm sorry, Mr. Bai…” Xia Ruoxin stood up and walked towards the door. ”I would not agree with whatever you said, and it's impossible for Gao Yi to take the rap for your daughter. No one can save her.”
”Still, have…” she turned and triggered Bai Zhenfeng's murderous face by accident.
”Mr. Bai, you don't need to scare me with your glare. Your daughter hired someone to break into my house just recently and wanted to throw me and my daughter into the ocean to feed the fish. That person is still in jail now. Your daughter's life is precious, but that does not mean that Gao Yi and our lives are sh*t.
