Chapter 440 - The New Teacher in the School (1/2)
Chapter 440 The New Teacher in the SchoolThe Bai family naturally heard about the things regarding Bai Weirong.
“Stop caring about your younger sister. Let Lu Tao worry about it.” Old Master Bai was in good spirits and no longer felt related to this granddaughter.
“Grandpa, is Lu Tao really okay with it?” No man would tolerate what Bai Weirong did, but Lu Tao accepted it. What’s more, he never mentioned it.
Mr. Bai said lightly, “It doesn’t matter even if he cares. As long as the Bai family is still powerful, he will have to tolerate your sister.”
That was also the reason why he insisted that Bai Weirong should marry Lu Tao. Lu Tao was careless and tolerant. If Bai Weirong felt loved by her husband in her own eyes, it didn’t matter what he had done.
And regarding the other things… As long as he didn’t go against the bottom line of the Bai family, the Old Master would naturally just let it go.
“What is the name of the girl that Song Chunli just adopted as a granddaughter?” Old Master Bai suddenly asked.
“Han Xueying.” Bai Ziqi smiled. “She’s very pretty.”
Old Master Bai took a glance at him. “Do you like her?”
“She’s not clean.” Bai Ziqi described the whole process of how he saved the beauty that day. “She arranged the scene ahead of time by herself. And she pretended to be shy at the dinner party. This woman obviously came with a purpose.”
Han Xueying thought very little of Bai Ziqi. He investigated those rogues after that day and they told the truth all.
“She schemed to get close to you. It wasn’t wrong at first,” Old Master Bai touched his beard, “but the key is what Jiang Rui’s role in the situation is and what the woman’s background is.”
Bai Ziqi thought for a second then said, “Should I… ask him about it?”
“No.” Old Master Bai shook his head. “Don’t get into this now. I think he is waiting for something.”
Han Xueying had to have been used as bait to seduce someone. But Old Master Bai couldn’t see who it could be.
“Grandpa, the old lady woman in the Jiang family may want to use Han Xueying to be more intimate with our family.” Bai Ziqi definitely could think of what was in Lu Tao’s mind. Song Chunli wanted to give a status to Han Xueying so that she could naturally enter this circle.
Old Master Bai waved his hand and said, “Forget about her. That woman is not clear-headed now. Whatever, you just do as I tell you and don’t probe into Han Xueying’s background from Jiang Rui. Since he is waiting, we should just wait with him. When he gets what he wants, we will naturally know.”
In Jiang Rui’s office, Scar was reporting to Jiang Rui with doubt, “Bai Ziqi withdrew the person who was following Han Xueying and he stopped tracking down info on her background.”
“Maybe he already fell for her?” Xiao Si patted Scar’s shoulder. “Congratulations! You’re free now! Maybe she will call to ask for a break up soon!”
Scar punched him. “F**k you! I’ve never been with her.”
When they stopped fighting, both of them looked at Jiang Rui.
“The old man in the Bai family,” Jiang Rui said.
Scar groaned and said, “That old guy is smart like a monkey. How can he always guess everything?”
Jiang Rui lowered his head. He knew the Old Master Bai most. By the time his parents got involved in that experiment, the Bai family had the chance to be a part of it as well. But the Old Master Bai refused and would rather have his grandson be a normal person.
He had seen everything through already so he never compared Bai Ziqi with Jiang Rui because he knew that Jiang Rui’s parents had traded their lives for Jiang Rui’s good life.
“Forget the Bai family.” Jiang Rui stood up. “It’s time to go.”
Scar knew that he would take Chen Chen back home, so he stood up as well. “I have to go to Han Xueying’s place. She will move out today.”
“Hey, she still doesn’t want you!” Xiao Si said joked. As a result, Scar kicked him and then ran away.
Chen Chen had stayed in the lab for a whole week. She wasn’t in a hurry. After all, Song Chunli couldn’t run away, so she could do it slowly. Jiang Rui came to pick her up at three o’clock every afternoon. Then they could get Tuan Zi together.
Today, Hei Zi also came. It sat in the backseat and watched its master kissing his wife sooner or later. It felt very disappointed about it. The little master who sat with it every time was much better.
When they were still two streets away from Tuan Zi’s school, Bear suddenly called.
“Boss, something happened.”
Today, Tuan Zi’s school was performing a show for the TV station. Tuan Zi led a group of kids to have an interview as a student representative. Then a man rushed out from the crowd, took out a knife, and slashed.
The first person who got hurt was the photographer. Then the man rushed at the kids. The teachers present realized the danger and hurried to apprehend him. Tuan Zi stood at the front and the man lifted the knife, ready to slash.
Tuan Zi was thinking what gesture she should use to keep the harm to the minimum when a black shadow quickly lifted her up and rolled on the ground. Thus, they escaped from the slash.
They soon got the crazy guy under control and the police arrived to take him away.
“Understood.” Jiang Rui hung up the phone.
Chen Chen looked at him with worry., “I heard Bear say the word school. Did something bad happen to Tuan Zi?”
“No. Just a small accident. We can go there now.” Jiang Rui was afraid that she might get worried, so he didn’t tell her about the specific situation.
Arriving at the school, Tuan Zi was being cured in the infirmary. The back of her hand was a bit scratched. But the teacher who saved her, his entire arm was hurt.
“Tuan Zi, do you feel uncomfortable? Have a lollipop first.” Wen Zeyu crouched beside Tuan Zi with those red eyes as if he was the one who had gotten hurt.
Tuan Zi saw Jiang Rui and Chen Chen so she called out, “Dad! Mum!”
