BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 BOOST
Breathing out the breath that she had unknowingly been holding, Bai Renxiang thanked Ye Chaoxiang.
"Thank you for taking charge of my mother\'s health. Thank you."
"You are welcome and take care of your mum. Good night," Ye Chaoxiang bade farewell and left after that.
Looking at her sleeping mother, Bai Renxiang\'s resolve in taking care of her mother became stronger. She promised in her heart to help her mother the same way her mother promised to protect her.
Taking her phone from her bag, she dialled a number. After the first three rings, Bai Renxiang heard a gentle voice from the other line.
"Hello, Yue Ling speaking."
"He- hello, please is it possible to talk to Bai Ming please?" Bai Renxiang asked politely.
"How are you related to her if I may ask? Who should tell her is on the line?"
"She\'s my sister. Tell her Bai Renxiang wants to speak briefly with her."
After waiting for some time, she got connected to Bai Ming.
"Oh my gosh, Sis Renxiang how are you? I\'m so sorry for not reaching out to you earlier. I was scared daddy would be mad. Please forgive me," Bai Renxiang heard her little sister\'s pitiful plea and smiled.
Her sister was always their dad\'s favourite. How can he be mad if she did so? Laying down her pride, Bai Renxiang replied.
"It\'s no big deal and don\'t be sorry. I completely understand."
"Really? Thanks, sis. Sis, is anything the matter? Why did you call?"
"Ming, my mum\'s terribly sick and I need a million yuan to pay for her surgery. Please help me out. I\'ll pay when I get the money I promise," Bai Renxiang begged.
"Oh, how is Aunt? Well, I guess I can lend the money, but how will you pay me back?" Bai Ming asked. She knew Bai Renxiang had no money on her.
Bai Guiren froze all her accounts. So she was pretty interested in knowing how her dear sister will pay her back.
"I will get a job and ask for my payment in advance then I will pay you back. Please, Ming. I beg you. You are the only one who can help me so please."
"Alright, alright, I am going to help you. I have to finish up my scenes and then I\'ll give you a call. Just wait for my call, okay?"
"Thank you. I\'m sorry for passing off my problems to you. If there\'s any way I could be of help to you please tell me," Bai Renxiang offered.
"No problem sis. You can be of help by being my power boost," Bai Ming stated.
"Power boost? In what sense?"
"Well since we are family if you are happy I am also happy. Knowing that you are okay I will normally feel at ease. So I will be boosted," Bai Ming explained.
"Oh! Well then I\'m glad I could be your boost," Bai Renxiang gladly accepted.
If only she knew what being a boost meant.
***
Meanwhile, Bai Ming could not help but feel excited. Since her beloved sister wanted to be useful she had a very useful job for her.
"Yue Ling put a call across to Mr Bryan and tell him I have a much better offer for him."
"Yes, Miss Bai."
"Also tell him to meet us at Emperor\'s Palace Hotel and get a room," Bai Ming ordered.
"Yes, Miss Bai."
"Hah, Ling after this night I\'m gonna be a star that the whole city X will worship. My beloved sister has agreed to be my stepping stone, MY bargaining chip. Take today off after wrapping things up. I feel so achieved," Bai Ming rejoiced.
Can a person really be evil and live peacefully? What goes around comes around. Bai Ming might slip off that stepping stone. \'Karma is a bitch.\' is what people often say.
"Thank you ma. I understand. I would make the calls now."
"Yes, you do that. Give me feedback on his response and your preparation first before leaving."
"Definitely ma."

With the plans being made, Ye Chaoxiang could not back out and since Bai Renxiang still had yet to get the money, he could quickly take his break to cool off and then return to the hospital and do his job but for now…
Strictly Vacation!
*******
Ring! Ring!
"Speak."
"Hello," two masculine voices were heard immediately the call was connected.
"Hey bros, I hope you guys are getting ready for our one day vacation?" Yang Chen asked his two friends.
"Yeah, I am. I don\'t have anything holding me up except for a surgery that will hold till when the patient pays the bill," Ye Chaoxiang stated.
"What about you Jin?"
"I still have tons of files that I need to append my signature and documents to attend to before I leave. I have been ignoring them, I don\'t want to get scolded," Li Fengjin complained.
"Tell me about it," Yang Chen joked.
"Since when have you ever cared about being scolded?" Ye Chaoxiang asked surprised.
"Well, my old man got wind of the workload I had in the office and told his wife. Now my sweetheart threatened to get me stocked with blind dates for a week," Li Fengjin explained.
"Oh, why did you have so much work piled up? You never told us anything, unless...."
"Is something bothering you Jin?" Ye Chaoxiang asked out of the blues.
"It\'s nothing," Li Fengjin lied.
"LI FENGJIN," Ye Chaoxiang bellowed. He could sniff it whenever any of them were hiding something from him or lying. He is like a lie detector.
"Sigh. I saw- I saw her last week with her boyfriend," Li Fengjin confessed in a low voice.
"Jin you are better than that. Don\'t let some past relationship make you skip work and get yourself stressed out," Yang Chen spoke.
"I know. I just don\'t know why I\'m behaving like this. I mean I don\'t have feelings for her anymore."
"It has been six years now. You know what? Attend to the files you can and go home. I plead with mum on your behalf. Just be sure to finish your work after the vacation," Ye Chaoxiang stated like a big brother.
"Really? Thanks, bro. I will. I love you."
"No probs and Jin?"
"Yeah."
"I am straight. Good night boys," Ye Chaoxiang hunged up before they could react.
"Well since we are cleared, good night Jin."
"Good night."
