Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 164 - 158: The First Shot Fired
There really is no wall that doesn’t let the wind pass through; Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen had just divorced, and shortly after, the news of Leng Yichen’s new romance hit major entertainment headlines. Logically speaking, he isn’t part of the entertainment industry, but strangely enough, people seem especially concerned about his romantic affairs, with almost minute-by-minute updates on Leng Yichen and Wu Lin’s latest developments.
For a time, his name was everywhere, leaving Bai Yiran with no escape.
In the end, Grandma found out about this. Bai Yiran still couldn’t forget the way Grandma held her, hitting and cursing her while crying.
This incident was a big blow to Grandma, as if she had suddenly aged greatly. Cheng Shishi, a straightforward lady, was so infuriated upon hearing this that she stormed into Huamei International wanting to talk to Leng Yichen in person, only to be stopped at the gate by security. Considering she was his ex-sister-in-law, Leng Yichen instructed the security to be civil to her.
Bai Yiran saved the money Leng Yichen gave her in a fixed deposit. She didn’t plan to use that money, nor did she want to return it to Leng Yichen. After all, having ended the marriage, Leng Yichen was at fault and had to pay some price, even though this price meant nothing to him.
Bai Yiran had some money herself from working hard to save for the trip to the United States with Luo Chen. Over the years, Lou Jing also had some savings, and they decided to start their business together. After pondering over possible ventures and discussing with their uncle, they decided to open a small café.
Bai Yiran was eager to find something to occupy her mind and energy so she wouldn’t dwell on meaningless things. The location for the café was quickly settled, and the rent was paid the following day.
After paying the rent and seeing off the landlord, Bai Yiran was about to tidy up the shop a bit when she received a call from Yin Tianshen.
"How are you doing?" Yin Tianshen’s voice carried a masculine magnetism.
"I’m fine." Bai Yiran really had no reason to complain about her current situation to Yin Tianshen.
"That’s good. You still owe me two meals. Let’s have them together."
Bai Yiran chuckled, "I won’t eat with you anymore. I agreed to it initially to repay Bai Family’s debt, but now I have nothing to do with the Bai Family, so our agreement is automatically void."
On the other end, Yin Tianshen paused for a moment and laughed, "Bai Yiran, you really know how to burn the bridge after crossing it."
"Since you’ve left Leng Yichen, why not come with me?" Yin Tianshen’s voice was dominantly pleading.
"No more talking, I’m hanging up." Bai Yiran decisively ended the call, unwilling to engage further with Yin Tianshen.
Now, Bai Yiran only wanted to live independently, relying on her own abilities, not wanting to be anyone’s appendage anymore. Such days are not as pleasant as they might appear from the outside.
The shop had previously been a café. To save costs, Bai Yiran and Lou Jing didn’t do extensive renovations, just some simple soft decorations, and soon the café would be ready for business.
During this period, everyone seemed to intentionally avoid mentioning Leng Yichen in front of Bai Yiran. But even so, Bai Yiran still frequently saw reports about Leng Yichen on financial channels.
Just like this morning, the news reported that Leng Yichen had already formed a project team and officially launched an acquisition case targeting the Yin Family!
