chapter 91

“Gu family will give you no aid. Go back, please.” Bai Weijin heard from a distance that Bai Hongbo asked Grandma Gu for help.

Grandma Gu was a little surprised.

“Weijin, anyway, I’m your biological father, and you’ve lived in Bai house for more than a decade. You don’t have the heart to turn down my request, do you?” Bai Hongbo put on a pained look.

The man looked dispirited and weary. He once detested Du Meihua and Bai Yinya for their betrayal and in the meanwhile, regretted his negligence in taking charge of the property of Bai family.

Until Bai Weijin paid a visit to him, he didn’t think of how to revive Bai family. Bai Hongbo kept telling himself he would make it up to this daughter the moment Bai’s Group was pulled together.

After some hesitation, he came to ask Gu family for help, to find that Bai Weijin who was also here had not the slightest consideration for his feelings.

“I have no father. Besides, it was your family who drove me out.” Bai Weijin looked at him as if at a stranger.

She was clear that Bai Hongbo, despite his guilt, ultimately loved himself only. As long as Bai’s came to life, he would still act purely out of selfish interest.

With so many at present, Bai Hongbo went deathly pale.

“Weijin… Is there any misunderstanding between you and your dad?” asked Grandma Gu. She noticed Bai Weijin treated her father as a stranger.

“There’s no misunderstanding at all. Just let him go.”

Gu Yeze didn’t say anything but stared coldly at Bai Hongbo. Grandma Gu also decided to ask about the details later.

“Do you have anything else?” Bai Weijin showed Bai Hongbo the door.

What happened next shocked everyone. Shi Qian, Gu Yelin and Gu Yeyu also came over, their mouths agape in astonishment.

Bai Hongbo went on his knees begging Bai Weijin for help.

“Weijin, you may don’t like me, but you have to admit that I’m your father who brought you up. Do you really want to see the fruits of my hard work all gone?”

Bai Weijin stood still.

“Bai Yinya, your sister, was forced to flee the city, are you satisfied?”

According to him, Bai Weijin was too heartless to show any concern for him!

The fond look on Grandma Gu’s face disappeared, which Shi Qian was glad to see.

“Have you finished? If you have, just go.” Bai Weijin was disinclined to say anything more.

She was completely disappointed at the so-called father and thus didn’t care how down-and-out he was. When Bai Yinya and her mother drove her out, the man just looked on without consideration for her future life.

Gu Yeze opened his mouth, “Mr. Bai, you seem to have got it wrong. It was us who made Bai’s Group come apart at the seams. How can you expect to lend a hand from Gu’s?”

Bai Hongbo’s eyes popped with terror. He knew that the statement he had issued to sever his ties with Bai Weijin led to Gu Yeze’s cancellation of cooperation between the two companies.

As for Bai’s Group’s downfall, he just attributed it to the withdrawal of Zhao’s group’s investment and Du Meihua absconding with the money. It never occurred to him that it was closely associated with Gu family and… Bai Weijin.

If he had learned about it, Bai Hongbo couldn’t have turned to Gu family for help. His cheeks were burning with embarrassment.

Sensitive about his reputation, Bai Hongbo was unlikely to forgive others for the insult.

“I really regret having a daughter like you!” He shouted in a fury.

Bai Weijin answered back, “If I can choose my birth, do you think I will choose you as my parent, Bai Hongbo?”

Grandma Gu shook her head.

Bai Hongbo found himself still kneeling on the ground, hurriedly got up and stormed off without looking back.

The rest looked at each other in dismay.

Gu Yeze reached out and stroked Bai Weijin’s head, “Let’s go in.”

Bai Weijin remained still. She wondered why she had such a heartless and selfish father.

He never showed any concern for her and paid a visit only when he had a favor to ask of Gu’s family.

“Go in,” spoke Grandma Gu.

Bai Weijin sensed her tone was faintly reproachful.

Gu Yeze took her hand in the hope of giving her strength.

It was the first time that Bai Weijin noticed such a stern look on Grandma Gu’s face. The old woman had impressed her with a mild and kind look from the very beginning. Bai Weijin felt as if she had seen how the old lady handled Gu’s Group’s business in previous years.

Even Gu Yeyu became quiet and sat still next to her grandmother, constantly winking at Bai Weijin.

“Tell me, what the hell is going on?”

The old lady’s eyes were fixed on Gu Yeze.

In order to persuade her into approval of their marriage, Gu Yeze told her Bai Weijin had no complicated family relationships, and thus would cause him no trouble. Besides, Gu family’s influence was immense, so there was no need to be united with another big clan through marriage.

Besides, Grandma Gu considered Bai Weijin as smart and well-behaved, and thus agreed to it.

It turned out that there was much to be discovered about her family. According to Bai Hongbo, Bai Weijin showed no regard for blood relations and even wouldn’t let off her father who brought her up.

How could such a woman be her granddaughter-in-law?

“Grandma, you have no idea how tragic her life was in Bai family.” Gu Yeze moodily rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“He’s right. Both Bai Hongbo and his wife treated Weijin badly, and his stepdaughter was hostile towards her.” Gu Yeyu also tried to persuade her granny.

Bai Weijin frowned and remained silent. Now wasn’t the right time to defend herself.

Grandma Gu cast a glance at Gu Yeze and Gu Yeyu and found no feigned expression on their faces. Notwithstanding, she was unhappy with Bai Weijin’s concealment of her family situation.

“I can explain it to you when I’m free,” Gu Yeze assured Grandma Gu. He was ready to leave since Bai Weijin was already in a bad mood.

Beyond all expectations, Grandma Gu shook her head, “I don’t feel like hearing that. You’d better take care of your own business. Maid Wu, I want to have a rest.”

Maid Wu hurriedly helped the old lady up. Before she went upstairs, Maid Wu also gave them a wink, signaling for Bai Weijin to talk to Grandma Gu at the right time.

Given what Bai Hongbo said just now, Grandma Gu found it hard to accept for the time being that her granddaughter differed widely from her original expectation.
