Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 532 - 525: Death Anniversary

On the anniversary of her mother’s death, Bai Yiran got up very early. Every year on this day, Bai Yiran feels very down. It’s not just because she lost her beloved mother on this day, but because after this day, her life underwent earth-shattering changes.

Therefore, every year on this day is also the day Bai Yiran hates Bai Hongguang the most.

At the dining table, Bai Yiran ate breakfast in silence. Her low spirits made the entire atmosphere in the house oppressive.

"Dad, is mom okay?" Xiao Lang asked Leng Yichen softly, a bit worried.

Leng Yichen ruffled his hair, "She’s fine."

"Is she thinking about her own mom?" Xiao Lang asked, wide-eyed. "Great-grandma said we were going to see mom’s mom today and asked Aunt Liu and me to take care of Xiao Xi at home."

"Yes, so Xiao Lang needs to take good care of his sister at home today." Leng Yichen’s voice was gentle as he spoke to the child.

On his mother-in-law’s memorial day, Leng Yichen insisted on being present, especially since Bai Yiran’s current state really worried him.

Bai Yiran’s phone rang then. Surprisingly, it was Bai Qiantong calling, someone she hadn’t been in contact with for a long time. She didn’t have anything against this brother, so she answered the call.

What Bai Yiran didn’t expect was to hear the unclear voice of Bai Hongguang, "Yiran... today is your mother’s... you..."

Due to a stroke, Bai Hongguang’s speech had become slurred, and when he got anxious, he could barely speak.

Hearing Bai Hongguang’s voice, Bai Yiran’s body suddenly trembled. Since returning to the country, she hadn’t actively contacted Bai Hongguang, and he hadn’t reached out to her, either.

Previously, because Gu Manli and Bai Qianyu were around, Bai Yiran had little to do with Bai Hongguang. Later, when Gu Manli and Bai Qianyu both went to prison, Bai Qiantong took over handling Bai Hongguang. Since then, although Bai Yiran hadn’t contacted them, she would regularly have Li Sha send them money every month, simply because legally, Bai Yiran was still Bai Hongguang’s daughter.

But even so, it didn’t mean Bai Yiran was willing to hear Bai Hongguang’s voice.

So, before Bai Hongguang could finish speaking, Bai Yiran hung up the phone.

Soon after, Bai Yiran received a text message from Bai Qiantong.

Sorry, I didn’t watch him closely earlier; it won’t happen again.

Bai Yiran stared blankly at her phone for a long time before replying, It’s okay.

Leng Yichen watched Bai Yiran’s emotions closely and gently held her hand.

Looking at the emotionally devoid "it’s okay" on the phone screen, Bai Qiantong gave a wry smile. He turned to Bai Hongguang, "Don’t bother her again, our existence is a torment to her!"

Especially on a day like today.

After speaking, Bai Qiantong picked up a towel and wiped the drool from the corner of Bai Hongguang’s mouth.

She must be quite happy now. I heard she has a child; I’d really like to see if that child looks like her...

Bai Qiantong tightened his grip on the towel, then stood up, "I’ll go prepare breakfast for you."

Bai Hongguang looked a bit desolate, staring at Bai Qiantong’s back. Everything he did in his life was for this son, yet now he was a burden to him.

With Xia Lian’s help in preparation, Bai Yiran didn’t have much to prepare.

By the time they finished, it was nearly noon. Leng Yichen had already prepared the restaurant. After coming down from the cemetery, Bai Yiran wanted to wash her hands and casually handed her bag to Cheng Shishi.

Grandmother called to inquire about the situation, and Cheng Shishi answered. After the call ended, Cheng Shishi was about to put the phone back in Bai Yiran’s bag when a piece of paper fell out from its pocket.

Cheng Shishi bent down to pick up the paper and saw a drawing of a snake on it, a winding, coiled snake.

For some reason, Cheng Shishi felt that the snake in the drawing seemed somewhat familiar.
