Her heart ached inexplicably even more!
She didn't know that when Bai Haonan loved her, it already hurt a lot. Now that she knew his feelings, the pain was unbearable.
Wen Ling almost shed tears, her small fists pounding on Bai Haonan's chest as she whispered, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
He could have said it last night, as long as it was before the meeting with Old Master Bai!
Bai Haonan asked, "Girl, do you like me now?"
"..." Well, it seemed like she did, but she couldn't say it.
"Why aren't you answering me? Do you still have feelings for Liao Kai?"
"Um..." Wen Ling reluctantly nodded.
Bai Haonan's heart ached again, but he still said, "I will wait for you. Girl, I will always wait for you to learn to love me."
Since he had come during a busy time, the calls from the company kept coming in. Bai Haonan gently stroked Wen Ling's hair and said, "What are we having for dinner? You can't go hungry."
"Mom said she wants to treat us..."
"That's good. You and your mom can reunite and have a good talk. I should have treated your mom to dinner, but I've been too busy these days. Here, there are 100,000 yuan in this card. You take it and treat your mom to something nice."
"I don't want your money..."
"What do you mean 'your' and 'mine'? If you refuse again, I'll be angry!"
"Alas..." It's so troublesome; she had to find a way to make him dislike her, and what was the big deal about taking his card?
Bai Haonan couldn't help but laugh, "Little girl, you're unhappy even after getting a good deal. I've never seen anyone receive a large sum of money and still sigh like you."
Zheng Bifan was crying uncontrollably in front of Old Master Bai.
"Woo woo woo, Grandpa, I really like Haonan Ge, I really really like him... What should I do with how he treats me..."
Clearly, Zheng Bifan had already allied with Old Master Bai.
"Alas, this disobedient brat!" No one could do anything about Haonan; he had always been a very opinionated person since childhood, and his strong personality was also a quality that helped him achieve the current prosperity of the Sanjing Company.
Old Master Bai played with his cane, lost in thought, "Feelings are often about first impressions. That Wen Ling has already entered Haonan's heart before you. It seems unlikely for you to compete with her."
"Wow... What should I do? Woo woo woo, I just want Haonan Ge!"
Zheng Bifan was genuinely sad and crying.
"However, if normal channels can't achieve what we want, we can find another way."
"Huh? What way?"
Zheng Bifan looked at Old Master Bai with big teary eyes, full of hope.
Old Master Bai smiled slyly, "Don't worry, I will always stand by your side. That Wen Ling, hum, our Bai family looks down on people from uncultured families. Haonan is a very strong person; if Wen Ling betrays him, he will definitely despise her. We can work on that."
Betray?
Zheng Bifan's mouth dropped open.
Let Bai Haonan see Wen Ling betray him?
Hehe, if that happens, Wen Ling would become the most despicable and filthy woman in Bai Haonan's eyes, and he would definitely abandon her! What a good idea!
Excited, Zheng Bifan rushed over and hugged Old Master Bai, kissing him on the cheek. The strong scent of her perfume almost knocked the old man out.
"You, you, you..."
Wen Ling pointed at the skinny guy, dumbfounded, unable to believe it.
Isn't this world too small? The skinny guy who left such a deep impression on her was the same man who had jumped on stage at the Golden Emperor that night to give her a windbreaker! His appearance was so unappealing that Wen Ling remembered him immediately.
Wen Shan tugged at her dazed sister, "Shoushou is our mom's secretary. Besides, he's skinny; you shouldn't stare at him like that."
What did you call him? Shoushou?
He really lived up to his name, looking spectacularly thin.
He would definitely have trouble finding a wife; which woman would want to marry such a sickly-looking guy?
Shoushou smiled, "Miss, I didn't say anything wrong back then, did I? I told you we would meet again. Here we are."
"Did you know I was my mom's daughter back then?"
Shoushou didn't answer directly, just smiled faintly and gestured to the luxurious dining table, "Please take a seat, Miss, Young Master."
Miss, Young Master... Wen Ling felt a chill.
Come on, we're not in a Hong Kong drama; there aren't that many formal titles. Please stop with the creepy titles.
Madam Qianyi waved to the siblings from the head of the table, "Come on, Ling, Shan, sit here."
At that moment, Wen Ling finally realized:
Her mom was a big shot.
A wealthy big shot.
With her own exclusive beach and villa farm in Europe, she was not just rich.
"I'm already married, so I can't let your father come. Please understand," Madam Qianyi said apologetically as she began serving dishes for Wen Ling and Wen Shan.
Wen Shan snorted, "It's better not to call him; he just drinks all day, and when he gets drunk, he hits me. I don't want that dad; it would be better if he were dead!"
"Shan! You can't talk like that! No matter what, he is still our dad."
Wen Ling scolded Wen Shan, who pouted and lowered his head.
But Wen Ling thought in her heart: What kind of man did Mom marry to be so wealthy?
Madam Qianyi glanced at Wen Ling's beautiful face and casually asked, "Ling Ling, you're not young anymore. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, my sister's boyfriend is Liao Kai. He's very handsome and comes from a good family," Wen Shan blurted out first.
Madam Qianyi frowned slightly, "Liao Kai? He wouldn't be the heir of the Liao Wen Group, would he?"
Wen Ling was surprised, "You know about the Liao Wen Group?"
Madam Qianyi lowered her gaze and said lightly, "It's not a very strong family; it's a mid-tier enterprise. However, I saw Bai Haonan sending you back the other day. He said he was your boyfriend. Hehe, Bai Haonan's conditions are quite good. I think you should choose Bai Haonan."
"Ah?"
Wen Ling looked at Madam Qianyi's delicate features in astonishment, cold sweat forming, "Bai Haonan doesn't have any outstanding qualities!"
Does Mom want to interfere in her love life too?
Suddenly, she felt that this dinner had a bit of a "Huangmen Banquet" vibe.
Madam Qianyi's eyes flashed as she held Wen Ling's hand firmly, saying, "Wen Ling, you must seize Bai Haonan and marry him!"
"Ah..."
"I want you to be the mistress of the Bai family. I want you to become the legitimate wife of the Bai family."
Wen Ling was so scared that she shivered all over.
Mom's appetite... is extraordinarily big!
The Sanjing Company is wealthy and powerful; does marrying Bai Haonan necessarily mean happiness?
Why did she see a hint of 'calculation' in her mom's eyes?
Wen Ling sat in front of the mirror at the Golden Emperor, sighing repeatedly.
Old Master Bai begged her to make Bai Haonan dislike her and leave her, while her mom wanted to encourage her to get close to Bai Haonan and even marry him.
Her mind was a mess, driving Wen Ling to the brink of madness. Suddenly, she screamed, "I won't listen to either of you! I'll just go with the flow!"
Bang! Her head was knocked by Xiao Chun.
"What are you doing? The hairstyle I just did is ruined because of you."
"Xiao Chun, why do we have to grow up? Growing up brings so many troubles."
Xiao Chun, however, was unconcerned, "Hmph, I want to grow up. I want my chest to grow as big as possible. My goal is to be a queen!"
Bang!
Wen Ling was so angry that she lay down on the table.
Even though the lighting in the Golden Emperor Nightclub was dim, the group led by Lian Kang with his light red hair still attracted a lot of attention as they entered the hall.
Some younger brothers respectfully bowed to Lian Kang, making way for him, while imposing bodyguards protected him as he walked toward a private room.
He looked like a leader in the underworld.
Lian Kang had a cold, fierce expression, and he closed his eyes in annoyance, pressing his temples.
Today, he had once again experienced the blow of impotence.
This afternoon, three European beauties had done their best to serve him, but he had no reaction at all.
It seemed he needed to quickly get his hands on his only remedy—Wen Ling.
No matter how depressed or troubled he was, as long as he stood on stage, Wen Ling would make him forget everything. She was the kind of person who could shine on stage, perhaps born to be in this line of work.
Xiao Chun styled her straight hair into countless small curls with an electric curling iron, and the ends were tucked inward, creating the trendy long version of the pear flower hairstyle.
It made Wen Ling's exquisite and perfect little face look like a beautiful cherry blossom!
With false eyelashes enhancing her already large eyes, they became even more expressive.
Almost no one could pull off a harmonious bright yellow jumpsuit, but it looked so vibrant and bright on Wen Ling.
She still showed off her snow-white long legs, still wore a strapless design that revealed her two fair shoulders, and her arms were adorned with half-length bright yellow sleeves that reached her elbows.
The shiny silver high-heeled sandals, which were cheap goods bought from a roadside stall for thirty or forty yuan, transformed into Cinderella's glass slippers under the spotlight.
She coolly stepped onto the stage, and the audience below erupted in waves of excitement as usual.
Cheers, whistles, and applause drowned the entire hall.
With just a glance, Lian Kang lazily glanced at the woman's short legs on stage, and his lower abdomen ignited a fire. That fire slowly spread downwards, and Lian Kang couldn't help but let out a low moan, "Uh..." Something in his pants began to react.
Bang!
Lian Kang coolly snapped his fingers, and immediately, one of his men led a woman in.
"Cheng Ge..." The woman respectfully bowed to Lian Kang.
Lian Kang didn't even look at her, just stared intently at the woman on stage, simply pointing to his pants zipper, "Come."
The woman habitually responded, "Hi!"
She was a Japanese AV actress.
Immediately, she took off her outer skirt, wearing only three pieces, kneeling between Lian Kang's parted legs, diligently attending to him.
It was strange; this woman, wearing such high heels, could still sing and move gracefully while dancing.
Her seductive dance and enticing body language ignited the hidden desires of all the men in the audience.
"The subway just got off is not crowded yet,
Your plane happened to land too,
It's raining in Tokyo, soaking Paris,
What time is it on your radio..."
With such a fast rhythm, and still managing to articulate clearly, it was truly not easy. As soon as the song "Next Stop, Intersection, See You" rang out, it immediately brought the atmosphere in the venue to its peak.
