Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 550

"I want to support you against Bai Ming and her mother."

She did not show it through her facial expressions but she was indeed smiling deep inside her. This was her opportunity to gain more grounds against, Bai Ming.

"Any why would you do that?" She decided to continuing acting tht she was not interested at all.

"Well, is it not obvious. It has been obvious all these years but we..." Grandpa Bai paused and shook his head. "I failed to see things clearly," he rephrased his words.

"They are just after the wealth of the family. That is all they ever think about and want."

"It is quite depressing and yet funny how you are only seeing it now," Bai Renxiang commented. "Well at least you are seeing things for yourself now. While the other ones, your wife and son– tsk tsk. It is a shame and a pity," she shook her head with her eyes closed.

"And I am trying to make them see it. Especially my wife, Fenhua. She was so ready to sign over her shares of the company to that spawn. If I had not forcefully taken control of everything, Bai Ming would have been the second biggest shareholder in the company."

"And that gives her more chances of being the next CEO since Bai Guiren is the firs," he added after taking deep breaths.

Bai Renxiang's brows arched up when her ears picked up in the way he addressed Bai Ming. She could not be mistaken.

But not only that, the part were he said grandma Bai was willing to give her shared to Bai Ming caught her attention as well. She could not help but think of how stupid grandma Bai could be.

"Why should I believe you? Why should I trust your intentions of supporting me is true? For all I know, this can be another scheme the Bai family has up their sleeves against me," Bai Renxiang though was in an act, she also had to thread carefully.

Anything could just happen.

"I know I have given you reasons to not trust me," grandpa Bai spoke with his head hung low.

"Yeah you have," Bai Renxiang nonchalantly nodded.

"But all I want is to correct my failures. I made mistakes."

"Very big ones," she said again.

"And I want to correct them. I want to set things straight and let this will end the way it should be," he told her.

"And what is the way it is supposed to be?" Bai Renxiang inquired.

"You are the legal owner of that company as the first and only legitimate daughter. And even if you do not regard us as family anymore, we still owe where we are today to your mother," he explained.

"Bai Jewelries was just a small fry before my son met your mother, Jiang Meilin. With the influence of her father, things got better for the company. It brought investors and people willing to do business with us."

"But he just chose to fathom a story with his lover and you all believed it. You believed and kicked out the woman who saved your sorry asses and brushed you up from the dust you were almost turning into," she blurted out.

"But you did not just stop there. You all suffered the innocent little me striving to live with the fact that my parents would never be together. You allowed two outsiders and a one-sided story to ruin everything. We're were a perfect happy family."

​ "I am sorry, please. We were too blinded by our status, our image and the social circles we were in. But that is the reason I am here. To return back what you owned. To help you in a battle against my family," grandpa Bai pleaded.

Bai Renxiang went silent for a long while as she stayed at the pitiful old man sitting opposite her. She appreciated his effort but... He is not the persons she wanted to be begging to set things straight.

Those people were rather stepping more on her nerves and going all out to claim what was never theirs in the first place.

'They better be prepared because I am going to bring with me an army of my own,' Bai Renxiang said in her head.

"Alright," she spoke out loud bringing back the old man's attention to her. "Since you are making things quicker for me without being forced, I will listen to what yluvhave to do to support me," she stated.

"I am willing to give you my shares of the company to you... And even that of my wife Fenhua," Grandpa Bai told.

Bai Renxiang's brows arched up yet again. "How can you give me the shares of your wife? She hates me," she asked in curiosity.

"I made her sign them to me. It was unknown to her but it will still count. I never forced her to," he replied.

Taking out a small envelope from his inner coat pocket, he placed it in the table and slid it to her. Bai Renxiang took hold of it and opened it. She then read carefully through the contents.

"I have signed in all places necessary. It is up to you to sign yours and everything will be yours legally."

Bai Renxiang nodded and returned get gaze back to his face. "Thank you for doing the right thing, elder master Bai," was all she said at that moment.

Grandpa Bai smiled and nodded. "I feel like S huge weight that has been on my chest because of my guilt has been suddenly lifted off. I am truly sorry for everything. I know I should not hope but... I hope someday at all, you and your mother would find it in your heart to forgive me."

A lone tear slide down his eyes and he quickly wiped it and stood up. "Thus old man has taken much out of your priced time. I will take my leave now."

Bai Renxiang's heart ached a bit but she pushed that feeling away. She stood up and lead him outside till the elevator.

"Try to live well, elder master Bai," she blurted out before the metal doors of the elevator closed.

She stood there for long that she did not even realise that her assistant has been calling out to her. It was until she felt a gent hold on her shoulder did she blink out of her daze.

"Oh! Xinyi, it is you," she smiled. "What can I help you with?"

Xia Xinyi studied her bosses face for a few seconds before she asked a question instead if answering the one she was asked.

"Are you okay, boss?"

Bai Renxiang's smiled shook a bit. "Y-Yes. Why do you ask?"

"I just... I just wanted to know," Xia Xinyi smiled it off. "Anyway, I came to remind you that Lawyer Long would be here in fifteen minutes time," she gave answer to the pending question.

"Oh, alright. I will be in my office till then. Inform the receptionist on the first floor of his arrival so that there would be no delay what so ever."

"Yes, boss," Xia Xinyi nodded.

"Good. I will head to my office then."

As soon as Xia Xinyi had sure that Bai Renxiang had gone, she rushed u to her office and placed a call across to the receptionist before calling another person.

"Hello, assistant Xia," the correct voice rabdboyt through the phone.

"Good afternoon, Mr Li. I am sorry to disturb your work but this is important," she spoke.

"If it is about my wife you have all right to disturb me. What happened?" Li Fengjin inquired.

"It is my boss, your wife. I think she is not so okay since the meeting."

"What meeting?"

"The meeting with the elder master of the Bai family," she answered.

There was a momentary silence at his side if the line before he spoke up again. "Do you know bout the details of that meeting?"

"Not at all, Mr Li. She wanted to meet him alone."

"Alright. This much information would do. Thank you, assistant Xia," he thanked her.

"It is for my Vida's well-being. There is no need to thank me, sir."

"Hmm. Good day then," he ended the call.

Xia Xinyi sighed and slumped down on her chair behind the desk. "I hope boss would feel better after talking with her husband."

~In Bai Renxiang's office~

Bai Renxiang sat quietly on her chair as her eyes remained glued to the paper on her desk. It was the one that grandpa Bai had given her.

She had said she was not going to forgive any member of that family. But this feeling in her heart proved those words wrong. She felt bad for grandpa Bai.

Although he did not believe in Jiang Meilin like they all did, he was the only one who still treated her like the legitimate daughter that she was. He was at least different.
