C60 (1/2)
In reality, Immortal Zhou wasn't specifically targeting Bai Mu. The main reason was that at the time, he was just an unknown Daoist Priest, not some land deity. At the time, he was also lacking in money, and that day, he coincidentally encountered the strange incident with the Wang family.
The change in the company behind was entirely due to internal strife between the families. He had only inserted a small amount of money into it, and had finally obtained a high reward for his poor life at that time.
Originally, this matter was already over. Furthermore, they were only a child. They were from a great clan, so in the future, they would be able to reproduce. He just didn't think that the child would come back now, not only that, the child was also holding a treasure from the Underworld.
Therefore, in order to prevent Wang Rong from meeting with him, he had no choice but to do this since his greed was exposed.
Seeing Immortal Zhou deep in thought, Liu Ying wiped away her tears. She said fiercely to Wang Rong, ”Wang Rong, let me tell you, if you dare to dismiss our son, we're done for.”
After he finished speaking, he gave Immortal Zhou a fierce glance and immediately ran out.
Immortal Zhou held up the thin card. When he thought of the huge amount of money inside, he was overjoyed. However, he still handed the card over to Wang Rong with a troubled expression. ”Mr. Wang, this is for you.” ”It was due to my negligence, I did not think that you would be able to make my wife think so highly of your son.”
Wang Rong heard what Immortal Zhou said just now and knew what was important. He merely reached out his hand and pushed the card into Immortal Zhou's hand, ”You deserve this, Daoist Priest, there's no need to be courteous.” I will consider Bai Mu's matter. ”
Mr. Zhou nodded at Wang Rong, ”Then I might as well do as you say.” As he spoke, he kept the card in his own pocket.
The company informed him to resume working hours, and Bai Mu went to work as usual.
”Child!”
A probing voice sounded out from behind Bai Mu. He turned around and saw a richly dressed woman walking towards him. Upon seeing her appearance, Bai Mu was stunned for a moment before walking straight to the entrance of the company as if he didn't see her.
Yesterday, because of Bai Mu's matter, she had a huge argument with her husband. In the end, her husband only made a small concession and didn't let her resign, and instead arranged for him to work at a friend's company. This made Liu Ying feel a little better.
However, seeing her own children treat her as if she had never seen them before, Liu Ying's heart ached. He was still unwilling to forgive them.
”Xuan'er …”
The pained voice sounded once more. Bai Mu continued to walk deeper into the company even after hearing the voice.
”Bai Mu!”
Liu Ying had no choice but to call out his name. This time, Bai Mu stopped in his tracks.
Turning around to look at the woman that had followed him, Bai Mu asked with an expressionless face, ”May I ask, why are you looking for me, Auntie?”
Bai Mu speaking to her was something she had never expected. Feeling flattered, Bai Mu hurriedly nodded his head and said, ”Yes, yes.” However, he immediately shook his head and replied, ”I'm just here to see you!”
Bai Mu politely smiled and said, ”Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm fine! I'm going up to work now, excuse me! ” As he spoke, he quickly left without looking back.
Looking at Bai Mu's departing figure, Liu Ying's face was filled with nostalgia and sorrow. Bai Mu was his child, yet they had abandoned him at the entrance of the orphanage and ignored him.
All these years, I still don't know how he made it here. Liu Ying understood that Bai Mu still hated her. It was impossible for him to forgive her, and even more impossible for him to recognize her as his mother.
It was just that the current her could not ask for more. As a mother, her greatest wish was to look at him every day and know that he was living a good life. That was enough!
Bai Mu was also similarly conflicted. He could not see through this problem and also did not want to see through it. He only wanted to forget about this matter, forget about his background, and only wanted this kind of person to live and not be troubled by that family again …
Looking at the chaotic scene in the office, Bai Mu felt even more agitated. It seemed that it was time for him to leave.
”Little Min, help me hand this over to the manager.” Bai Mu walked up to the busy Xiao Min and placed an envelope in front of her.
”What is this?” Puzzled, Xiao Min picked it up. She was about to open it when Bai Mu held her hand.
”It's fine, just leave it to the manager.” Just as he was about to return to his desk, the little fatty walked towards Bai Mu with a look of schadenfreude on his face.
”Bai Mu, I'm calling you to go up to the 19th floor. Hurry up!” After saying that, the fat little manager shot a fierce glance at the exquisite body wrapped around by Bai Mu's professional clothing. He then turned around and walked into his office in satisfaction.
”Nineteenth floor?” Hehe, what are you doing? Are you planning to be engaged? ” Bai Mu laughed coldly in his heart. He also wanted to see what this person wanted to do.
Ye Zichen nodded towards Xiao Min and said, ”I won't trouble Miss Min with this.” As he spoke, Bai Mu pulled out the resignation letter from Xiao Min's hand and headed straight for the elevator leading to the 19th floor.
Knock, knock, knock …
