Meng Shaomei knew fully well that having father, mother, and husband is not as good as having one's independence. Only by keeping power and money firmly in her grasp, could she truly take control of everything, avoiding being disdained and abandoned capriciously!
Bai Shengqi, who was being constantly flattered, was so dizzy that he barely knew what day it was.
The sound of the door opening caused Meng Shaomei to swiftly rise from Bai Shengqi's embrace. She was far too old to be seen in such a state by her children without feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Today she had a sumptuous meal prepared, all set to celebrate with the children when they returned.
But those who came back were not the ones she was waiting for.
"Miss Bai has returned so early today. Has the company collapsed?" Meng Shaomei asked, her smile gleaming.
Bai Xue glanced at her disdainfully, too lazy to banter with her, she simply made her way upstairs.
The smile on Meng Shaomei's face contorted. Damn it, Bai Xue dared to ignore her!
However, it didn't matter. She wouldn't be able to act high and mighty for much longer!
In just three days, Su Yan had caused Bai Clan's stocks to plummet to the brink of suspension and spread the news about the Bai Clan's impending bankruptcy across Jin City. Those families who were dependent on the Bai Clan all lived in fear, worried about the loss of their livelihoods in the coming days.
All the commotion surrounding the Bai Clan brought immense joy to Meng Shaomei.
"Rou Rou, you are indeed my pride! Mom didn't dote on you for nothing!" In the past, she had always thought her weak daughter was unreliable, but now it seemed, her daughter was indeed quite useful!
Bai Wanrou laughed shyly, as long as her mother was happy, everything was good!
"You don't have classes today, don't stay at home. Go and spend some time with Su Yan! You have to seize his interest properly!" Su Yan was their greatest support, it was crucial to hold onto him tightly!
"Understood, Mom!" Bai Wanrou cheerfully departed.
She reached Su's place just in time for lunch. Su Yan, being pleasantly surprised by her unexpected visit, decided to take a break from his work and went out to eat with her.
They went to a Japanese restaurant close to the office and unexpectedly bumped into Bai Xue.
Seeing Bai Xue, Bai Wanrou involuntarily shrank her shoulders. Su Yan had put Bai Xue in a difficult spot for her sake, and Bai Xue was bound to be angry!
Her fear made Su Yan feel bad. He had no idea how Bai Xue had been tormenting Rou Rou when he was not around, causing her to be so terrified of her!
"Good dogs don't get in the way!" He wanted her to get lost and stop being a bother.
"Su Yan, we need to talk."
"About you stepping down and letting my father-in-law take over?" Su Yan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No."
"Then there's nothing to talk about!"
"Listen to me, you need to stop this childish and stupid behavior immediately!" Bai Xue said coldly.
