CHAPTER 549
Bai Renxiang showered her little baby with loads of kisses all over his face. It made Li Xiaojin giggle as it was ticklish.
"Ah! I miss my baby so much," Bai Renxiang exclaimed while hugging him to herself.
"I missed mummy too."
"I told you he would be fine," Li Fengjin spoke. from beside them.
"Yes. I am relieved," Bai Renxiang smiled.
"Mummy, were you worried about my first day at school?" Li Xiaojin asked.
"She was worried and nervous at the same time," Li Fengjin answered in her stead and then let out a small laugh.
Li Xiaojin smiled and pecked in her cheek. "Mummy does not have to worry anymore. I am a big boy now and I can take care of myself," he assured her.
Bai Renxiang nodded at his words. Imd ed her little baby is starting to grow up. She could still remember when she held his little self in her arms in hospital.
It felt like only yesterday and now look at him.
"Mummy, are you crying? Don\'t cry," Li Xiaojin\'s worried and sad voice pulled her out of her train of thoughts.
"Darling, what\'s wrong?" Even Li Fengjin had to ask. She was all smiles a few moments ago and now a tear drops were flowing down her cheek.
"Don\'t mind me. I am just getting emotional, that\'s all," Bai Renxiang said as she wiped her eyes.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, baby. These are... happy tears. Yes. Mummy is just too happy that\'s why she is crying. So don\'t worry."
"Okay."
"Let\'s get going then. You and Little Ai can tell us all about your day on our way back home."
The ride back home was great as the kids rambled in and in about their day. Especially Li Xiaojin. He loved the school already. Even if it was just the first day.
"I can\'t wait to tell Mingzhe and Daiyu everything," he said.
••••••
Things have been going smoothly for the past few days. Everything was normal for Bai Renxiang until grandpa Bai showed up at her company. He had no appointment with her so he was not allowed to pass the reception in the first floor.
And of course, grandpa Bai did not mind it at all. He did not have her contact information and even if he did, he was not certain if she would agree to meet him. So he just came to her place of work directly.
"What are we going to do about the Bai family\'s elder stubbornly waiting for you?" Xia Xinyi asked Bai Renxiang who was so busy with the papers in her desk.
Bai Renxiang\'s hand in which the fountain pen was dancing with on the paper stopped for a second before it continued. "I don\'t have time to think about what I should do or not do," she said with her eyes still down.
Xia Xinyi slowly nodded. "But are you not going to ask what his reason for coming here is?"
"Fine. What does he want by coming here?" Bai Renxiang asked without much interest.
"He just said he wanted to talk with you. I do not feel like that toward the old man but... he looks pitiful," she answered.
Bai Renxiang totally stopped what she was penning down before leaning back in the chair. She cast a long look at her assistant and then her eyes moved to the mini digital clock on her desk.
"At what time is the meeting with Lawyer Long?" Bai Renxiang suddenly asked.
Xia Xinyi\'s brain quickly rebooted and gave a quick reply. "The meeting is in two hours time, boss. It is a lunch meeting to be exact."
Bai Renxiang nodded as she slowly rocked the swivel chair from side to side. She looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and then back to her desk.
There was so much to do.
She had to go through the plan sent by the headquarters about their new project. Jiang Bojing\'s company had been taken down and even cleared out.
Now was the time to create something new. There was also the project she had with TY Corps and also the new budget plan for the ending of the month.
Eyeing the stacks of paper on one side of her desk, Bai Renxiang adjusted closer to the table and took hold of the fountain pen again.
"Let the old man wait a little while longer. But take him to the reception on this floor and serve him refreshments. I do not want the news of an old man dying in my company all over the net tomorrow," she gave out her order.
Xia Xinyi smiled a little smile that if one was not very observant, one would miss it. Her boss still had a conscience for the Bai family despite what they did to her and her mother.
"I\'m not soft on them all, Xinyi," Bai Renxiang\'s voice interrupted Xia Xinyi\'s thoughts.
"Huh?" The latter blinked in confusion.
"I am not doing this because I still consider them as a people who raised me. I am doing this because he is old and he might have something I want," she said.
Xia Xinyi smiled fully this time and nodded. "Your actions are not wrong, boss. You dealing with them does not mean you should have to be like them. I trust and will always support you no matter what."
"I know. Go now. Tell the old man that I will be with him in half an hour. I need to clear at least half of the work here."
"Yes, boss. Do you need me to get you anything before I go?" Xia Xinyi asked.
Bai Renxiang thought and nodded. "Please get me that yoghurt Jin got for me and a glass cup."
"Right away," Xia Xinyi got to it and came back as quickly as she could. "I will take my leave now so that you can focus."
"Okay. That would be all then. Thank you very much."
With that said and nothing more to be done, Xia Xinyi dipped her head in before straightening her back and walking out of the office. She had a task at hand to carry out.
In her way to the elevator, she did not forget to secretly wink at the secretary, Jinhai. He just smiled and shook his head. It turns out that his girlfriend loves being all sneaky in the office.
Neverthelss, he had no problem with it.
Xia Xinyi did as told and grandpa Bai followed through with everything. He wow not make a fuss nor the die he ask why Bai Renxiang was taking so much time.
It did not take long anymore as at exactly half an hour\'s time, Bai Renxiang stepped out of her office. She nodded at the employees S on her way to the waiting area on the floor.
"You must be really hungry to see me that you had so much patience up until this moment," she made an entrance with a few words that got the old man\'s attention.
"Ah! Renxiang. You came," grandoa Bai smiled and stood up.
Bai Renxiang shook her head and ckickedbhet tongue. "Tsk, Tsk. Won\'t not make me think that people grimy he Bai family did not learn. Do not call me so intimately. Our relationship as a grandmother and granddaughter has ceased to exist. You are not allowed to," she let him off with a small warning.
"Okay," grandpa Bai nodded. He had no problem with that. As far as she was willing to hear him out at this moment.
"Let\'s have a seat so that you state your reason for showing up at my company unannounced."
They both say opposite each other and stared for a few seconds before grqngoq Bqi decided to open his mouth.
"I know you so not end to hear it but... I am very very sorry. I\'m sorry for everything," he apologised.
When Bai Renxiang refused to say anything and just gave him the plainook he sighed.
\'She is harder to read than her mother,\' he thought.
"Sigh. A lot of things happened after your parents\'s divorce and... I\'m sorry for not being the best I could have."
Slightly tilting her head to the side, Bai Renxiang spoke with a small side smile. "Old master Bai, I bet you did not come here to apologise for something I already plan on making you all pay for?"
"I... I have no problem if you want to take everything from us. It is because of your mother that we have this wealth we use now. I just wanted to give my sincerest apology."
"When it is my turn to repay the \'favour\' you want to apologise? I\'m not my mother, you know."
"I know you are not. But at least accept my support," grandpa Bai pleaded.
"What do you think you can support me for?" Bai Renxiang threw him a question.
"I want to support you against Bai Ming and her mother."
