Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 579 - 572: Needs a Mother

The affair has been resolved, and the Xia family now completely lacks their previous arrogance. They do not dare to look Bai Yiran directly in the eye, fearing she might really accuse them of extortion.

Of course, Bai Yiran wasn’t that bored. Saying so was just to intimidate the Xia family.

In the end, Cheng Gang and Xia Lian did not immediately say whether they would divorce. Both agreed to think it over. The last words Bai Yiran spoke, from her grandmother, influenced Cheng Gang and Xia Lian.

The Xia family saw that there might still be a turning point, and there was a good chance Xia Lian wouldn’t be abandoned by Cheng Gang. Xia Lian’s snobbish parents immediately changed their tune. Her mother even held Xia Lian, sobbing that she truly didn’t mean to hit her earlier, she was just worried about her brother. She felt the pain in her heart as a mother...

Xia Lian was already numb at this time, realizing the true nature of such parents and brother.

After handling this matter, Bai Yiran was exhausted and had no desire to visit Lou Jing anymore. She directly asked Li Sha to take her home.

Bai Yiran leaned back in the car seat, gazing at the bustling world outside. In such a prosperous city, there is the lure of money everywhere, which most people can’t resist, but they still adhere to their principles.

Wu Chengzu, however, was someone without principles. He could murder Yin Hao so easily, and remain unperturbed after killing Cheng Shishi right in front of her.

Bai Yiran couldn’t help but wonder, what was the reason this cold-hearted man spared her back then?

The car was silent, and Li Sha glanced at Bai Yiran through the rearview mirror. Noticing her eyes closed, she assumed Bai Yiran was asleep and quietly turned off the music playing in the car. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

At the Wu family home, Wu Chengzu was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The television was showing Animal World, where a foreign male lion had just defeated a lion king and was now intruding on the old lion king’s lionesses.

Wu Chengzu watched intently, a cigarette between his fingers resting on the sofa back.

Wu Jingjing came home from school and was surprised to find Wu Chengzu at home, "Dad, why are you back so early?"

Without taking his eyes off the TV, Wu Chengzu replied, "Hmm, not busy today."

Wu Jingjing casually said while putting down her backpack, "Dad, what exactly do you do for work?"

"Why do you ask?" The TV screen switched to introducing other animals, and Wu Chengzu finally looked at Wu Jingjing.

"Nothing really, just that your job seems quite strange. When busy, we don’t see you for weeks, but when not busy, you’re home all day..."

Wu Jingjing casually took the cigarette from Wu Chengzu’s fingers and extinguished it in the ashtray, "I’ve said not to smoke in the living room!"

Wu Chengzu frowned at Wu Jingjing, noticing his daughter seemed increasingly not afraid of him as her father.

"Lately, for some reason, I can’t get in touch with Teacher Xiao Cheng. It’s really frustrating!" Much of Wu Jingjing’s contact with Cheng Shishi was to find out about Bai Yiran, and without being able to reach Cheng Shishi, she couldn’t learn about Bai Yiran’s situation.

Wu Chengzu remained silent for a while, then asked, "Do you like Teacher Xiao Cheng that much?"

"Not really," Wu Jingjing shook her head, "It’s because she’s Aunt Yiran’s sister. I like Aunt Yiran!"

The TV returned to a segment on lions, with the old lion king’s lioness completely submitting to the new lion king, allowing its intrusion.

A glint appeared in Wu Chengzu’s eyes, "You won’t be seeing Teacher Xiao Cheng anymore."

"What?!" Obviously, Wu Jingjing didn’t grasp the real meaning of Wu Chengzu’s words, thinking she had merely lost contact with Cheng Shishi, but now how would she keep track of Bai Yiran?

"However, you might get to see your Aunt Yiran."

Hearing Wu Chengzu’s words, Wu Jingjing froze and took a moment to understand.

Dad was planning to take her! Although it’s very unethical, Wu Jingjing still strongly supported Wu Chengzu in doing so!

She really needed a mother, a mother like Aunt Yiran~
