With a deep breath, Shuxin lifted her chin and glared fiercely.

"You don’t know what I was doing that day? If you weren’t having a good time with that little fox, would I have gone to catch you?"

Bai Chenchi’s face instantly changed. Mentioning that day infuriated him—getting cozy with a mistress, just when things were about to escalate, Shuxin showed up!

"Shuxin, you still have the nerve to talk about that day, you—"

"Enough!"

Bai Xijing’s face was stern, and he glanced coldly at the two of them. Bai Chenchi and Shuxin, like startled quails, lowered their heads in anxiety.

"Chen Feng will be back soon, then Chen Chi, you’ll hand over all your work to your third brother!"

Bai Chenchi looked up in disbelief, staring at Bai Xijing.

"Dad?"

Shuxin also felt incredulous, knowing that if her husband’s workload was gone, it meant a significant loss in income dividends!

"Dad, how can this be?"

Bai Xijing’s gaze was unusually cold, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Chen Chi needs to reflect properly at home, so he won’t have time to indulge recklessly outside. Isn’t that better?"

Bai Chenchi: "..."

Looking more terrible than a pile of dung, Bai Chenchi nearly jumped up, but seeing his dad’s expression, he didn’t dare.

"Dad, I’ll change, really, I’ll learn well from you and my big brother!"

"You’ve been saying that for nearly twenty years!"

Bai Chenchi: "..."

Looking at Shuxin who was gritting her teeth to the side, Bai Xijing’s eyes were sharp.

"Mr. Mu’s eightieth birthday is coming up, enlighten Lanlan well these days. I don’t want any issues at Mr. Mu’s celebration!"

Shuxin: "..."

After Bai Xijing finished speaking, he turned to his wife Su Yue, his voice still cold.

"Pay close attention then!"

Su Yue nodded with a smile, glancing at her two daughters-in-law, then thinking of the two young ladies from the Mu Family, pursed her lips.

"I’m afraid even if we do nothing, the Mu Family will become chaotic on its own!"

Listening, Bai Xijing frowned, letting out a cold laugh.

"That’s their business. The Shen Family has already started collaborating with the Mu Family; Mu Haiyun is Shen’s niece, naturally she’ll help her own family. Chen Yao and Mu Tiantian being together may not be a bad thing!"

Upon these words, everyone present was slightly taken aback.

Does this mean, the old man supports Chen Yao and Mu Tiantian being together?

What about Lanlan?

Su Yue also realized this issue, her eyes flickered, she was about to speak but seeing the old man’s unpleasant expression, no one knew Bai Xijing better than her; she swallowed back the words.

Chen Yao’s marriage, the old man has his own plans.

And obviously, he won’t allow anyone to say anything.

——

Mu Tiantian is unaware of what’s happening in the Bai Family.

At the moment, she is nestled in Bai Chenyao’s office, meticulously preparing her lesson notes for tomorrow. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Bai Chenyao, on the other hand, is seated at his desk not far away, idly reviewing and signing documents.

Occasionally, a phone call comes in, and Mu Tiantian can hear words as brief as they can be.

Like: "Speak."

And: "Yes!"

Or: "Replace!"

Seeing Bai Chenyao answering calls in this manner, Mu Tiantian, who had been focused on her preparation, suddenly couldn’t help but rest her chin in her hand, blinking her dark eyes at Bai Chenyao.

Inwardly, she mused—perhaps, in the past, Bai Chenyao wasn’t too bad to her after all.

Not speaking on the phone wasn’t because he didn’t want to talk, but because he’s truly taciturn!
