Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 263 - 256: Good Kid (Bonus - )
Seeing Wu Chengzu, Bai Yiran was somewhat surprised, "Mr. Wu?"
Wu Chengzu was equally surprised to encounter Bai Yiran there, "Yiran, what are you doing here?"
"Brother-in-law, it was her who helped Jingjing and broke my husband’s head. My husband is still getting stitched up in the hospital~" said Li Lan as she emerged from inside, immediately complaining upon seeing Wu Chengzu.
"Wu Jingjing, how long are you going to keep this up?" Wu Chengzu didn’t ask for reasons, but sternly reprimanded Wu Jingjing right away.
It was only then that Bai Yiran realized the young girl in front of her was Wu Chengzu’s daughter. Bai Yiran hadn’t expected Wu Chengzu to have such a grown daughter.
Wu Jingjing stubbornly wiped her tears, glaring at her father with obvious enmity, as if the man in front of her was her sworn enemy.
Wu Chengzu disliked the way Wu Jingjing was looking at him and said in a deep voice, "Wu Jingjing, don’t look at me like that!"
"Mr. Wu, I think it’s best to find out the whole story. I believe your daughter wouldn’t do something like that for no reason," Bai Yiran said.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Lan was displeased upon hearing Bai Yiran’s words, and immediately spoke to Wu Chengzu pitifully, "Brother-in-law, I asked my husband, and he said he caught Jingjing stealing money, so he said a few words to her. Who knew she’d run off, and when my husband chased after her, he happened to bump into this lady." Li Lan glanced at Bai Yiran and continued, "Brother-in-law, you know how Wu Jingjing is, she’s quite a character. If you’re not a bit stricter with her, it’s no good. That’s why my husband’s actions made this lady misunderstand."
Upon hearing Li Lan, Wu Chengzu looked at Wu Jingjing with a face full of disbelief, "You’ve even learned to steal money now?"
"I didn’t!" Wu Jingjing yelled angrily, "Say what you want about me, but don’t accuse me falsely!"
Bai Yiran also felt that what Wu Jingjing’s aunt had said was questionable, "Mr. Wu, I think it’s better to investigate this matter thoroughly, don’t wrongly accuse the child..."
Before Bai Yiran could finish her sentence, Li Lan began to cry pitiably, "Brother-in-law~ I’ve been taking care of Jingjing for so many years, it’s already hard for a girl like me to find a boyfriend while taking care of a child. Finally, my husband doesn’t mind and genuinely likes Jingjing, treating her like his own, but now this is how we’re repaid..."
Bai Yiran looked at Li Lan, frowning slightly. How could this woman cry so easily? It was truly peculiar!
"I know, these past few years have been hard on you," Wu Chengzu spoke gently to comfort Li Lan. He then turned his gaze towards Bai Yiran. This was, after all, a family matter, and a rather shameful one at that. He didn’t want such things to be seen by Bai Yiran, and said in a deep voice, "Yiran, I’m sorry you had to witness this today. You can leave now."
Bai Yiran raised her eyebrows slightly. It was clear that Wu Chengzu didn’t want her getting further involved in this matter. After all, it was a family affair, and as an outsider, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to get involved too deeply.
"Alright then, I’ll be going." Bai Yiran took a couple of steps away, but turned back to see Wu Jingjing’s eyes filled with despair. She felt uncomfortable, "Mr. Wu, I believe your daughter is a good kid."
Upon hearing Bai Yiran’s words, Wu Chengzu smiled self-mockingly. He knew all too well what his daughter was like, but he nodded nonetheless, "I understand. Sorry for troubling you today. I’ll compensate you double for the damaged toys."
"No need." Bai Yiran said and then left.
After all, Wu Chengzu was Wu Jingjing’s father, and as an outsider, she had already said all she could. There wasn’t anything else she could do.
The following days, Bai Yiran spent in eager anticipation. In the blink of an eye, the weekend had arrived, and Bai Yiran got up early to prepare.
Today is the day that Leng Yichen and Xiao Lang return!
