Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 449 - 442: Interests

On the way back, Bai Yiran leaned back tiredly and closed her eyes to rest.

Eating is supposed to be an activity that brings joy to both mind and body, yet somehow people manage to twist it into something else entirely.

Bai Yiran really didn’t want to attend these kinds of dinners, but she also knew that there would only be more of them in the future. After marrying Leng Yichen, she started to slowly get involved in this circle, one that was entirely different from the one she was familiar with before. People greet each other politely while secretly cursing each other in their hearts. Friends who were like brothers a moment ago might fall apart the next due to conflicts of interest.

Spending too much time in this circle naturally makes a person cold. It’s not arrogance, but rather indifference that becomes the best way to protect oneself.

"Madam, there’s something I don’t understand," Li Sha asked while driving.

Bai Yiran opened her eyes, "What don’t you understand?"

"How were you sure that Qi Hui would come? After all, your relationship with her wasn’t exactly the best..." Li Sha spoke tactfully; describing the relationship between Qi Hui and Bai Yiran as "not the best" was an understatement—it was more like sworn enemies!

Li Sha never understood why Bai Yiran wanted her to notify Qi Hui of the dinner’s time and place before they set off for Ming Xuan. It wasn’t until Qi Hui showed up dressed provocatively at Ming Xuan that Li Sha realized Bai Yiran wanted Qi Hui to disgust Luna.

However, Li Sha couldn’t quite grasp why Qi Hui would listen to Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran smiled, "Li Sha, you’ve been in the military, you should understand these things better than I do."

At Bai Yiran’s words, Li Sha blushed slightly; her mind just couldn’t wrap around it. Her years in the military had trained her in physical combat and absolute obedience more than anything else. Beyond that, she wasn’t particularly quick-witted.

"There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests," Bai Yiran paused, "Previously, Qi Hui and I were at each other’s throats because she had her eyes on Leng Yichen. As long as I was out of the picture, her interests would be maximized. Similarly, Luna also had reasons for wanting me to leave Leng Yichen, although I’m not sure what Luna’s reasons are. But when two people have the same point of interest, I become their common enemy."

Li Sha nodded as she listened, skillfully maneuvering the steering wheel as the car entered another street.

Bai Yiran casually flipped through her phone and continued, "But things are different now; Qi Hui is now with my father-in-law, so her interests have shifted, and naturally, so have her enemies."

So, when Bai Yiran informed her that Leng Liewei was bringing Luna to attend the dinner at Ming Xuan, Qi Hui—who had long-standing resentment against Luna—came to Ming Xuan at all costs. Since Luna didn’t want her to live comfortably, nobody would.

Anyway, Qi Hui had lost face long ago at that party, so what wouldn’t a woman who no longer cares about her reputation do?

Li Sha looked at Bai Yiran, who appeared calm and composed through the rearview mirror, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Experiences that cut to the bone can truly transform a person.

The current Bai Yiran was no longer the meek little lamb she once was.

At 2:30, Cheng Shishi waited at the predetermined meeting place. This was her first tutoring job, and she was extremely excited. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A black Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly pulled up in front of Cheng Shishi, and the window rolled down to reveal the man who had previously come to the school looking for a tutor.

The man waved at Cheng Shishi, "Teacher Xiao Cheng, please get in the car."

"Okay."

Cheng Shishi replied cheerfully, quickly opening the rear door, only to be surprised to find another man in the backseat.

For some reason, Cheng Shishi felt that this man looked somewhat familiar.
