"Hong Guang! Don’t sign!" Gu Manli tried to stop Bai Hongguang, but he shoved her away.
"Shut up! What more do you want at this point? All of this is because of you!" Bai Hongguang really regretted listening to Gu Manli in the first place, now he had no way out.
"You’re blaming me? Wasn’t I doing it for this family, for Qiantong and Qianyu!" Gu Manli argued with Bai Hongguang, looking aggrieved.
"For this family?" Bai Hongguang sneered, "I think you were just doing it for yourself!"
Gu Manli was really unwilling to accept it, as Bai Yiran now became the largest shareholder of the Bai Family, how could she have a good life in the future?
Bai Hongguang weakly handed over the signed equity transfer agreement to the lawyer and looked desolately at Bai Yiran, "Are you satisfied now?"
Satisfied?
Bai Yiran never wanted any of this, she just wanted a peaceful and stable life, but she had been pushed to the brink again and again. She once thought about living her life away from the Bai Family, but every time she was hurt beyond measure. She had once longed for Bai Hongguang’s fatherly love, but in the end, he always treated her as a tool.
So, is she satisfied? Of course not, because what would satisfy her will never appear again.
Bai Yiran turned around, looked at Leng Yichen, and extended her hand.
Leng Yichen also extended his hand, holding Bai Yiran’s small hand, the two of them standing side by side looked so well-matched.
Gu Manli gritted her teeth, desperately wanting to tear Bai Yiran apart, realizing she had utterly failed. It was all because Bai Yiran had Leng Yichen by her side, who could turn everything around!
Bai Yiran never answered Bai Hongguang’s question, and holding Leng Yichen’s hand, she said wearily, "Let’s go. I don’t want to stay here any longer."
"Okay." A short answer, yet filled with indulgence.
The two held hands, and as they passed by Gu Manli, Bai Yiran stopped, looking at her coldly, "Prepare to embark on your journey of incarceration."
"Bai Yiran!"
With that, Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen left Bai Hongguang’s office, as Gu Manli’s hysterical screams echoed behind them.
With Leng Yichen’s influence, matters quickly came to a conclusion, Gu Manli was convicted, and the court sentenced her to six months’ detention.
She was arrested at home, and Bai Yiran specifically went to watch. Gu Manli was dressed neatly but barefoot, being escorted out by the police, screaming like a madwoman, and until she was put into the police car, Bai Hongguang didn’t come to see her, only the tearful Bai Qianyu and red-eyed Bai Qiantong stood at the door helplessly watching their mother being taken away by the police car.
Soon Bai Qiantong noticed Bai Yiran in the crowd, she was still so beautiful, and no matter where she was, Bai Qiantong could always spot her first.
However, Bai Qiantong’s feelings were very complicated now—one was his mother, and the other was the sister he loved. He was torn between reason and irrationality, clarity and confusion.
Bai Qiantong never thought things would develop like this; perhaps from the moment he rescued Bai Yiran from that pervert, today’s tragedy was already fated.
The sister he loved personally sent his mother to prison...
Back then, Bai Yiran’s words, ’It’s best we don’t meet again,’ still echoed in his ears, but ultimately, they still met, and it was under such circumstances...
"Bai Yiran!" Bai Qianyu also noticed Bai Yiran in the crowd, "It’s all your fault! I’ll kill you!"
Bai Qianyu frantically charged toward Bai Yiran, but Bai Qiantong quickly embraced her, "Bai Qiantong, let go of me! Whose brother are you anyway? Why are you always helping that bitch Bai Yiran! Bai Yiran, you bitch!"
Bai Qiantong forcibly dragged Bai Qianyu back inside, and even after closing the door, Bai Yiran could still hear Bai Qianyu’s curses.
