Bai Yanfei gritted his teeth; his affection shouldn't be trampled on like this by Ling Zeyu.
"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom, can you ask the driver to stop the car?"
Ling Zeyu didn't notice anything unusual about Bai Yanfei. He told the driver to stop the car, and Bai Yanfei unbuckled his seatbelt, grabbed the bag, and ran out. There was a bus ahead that went to the hospital.
He ran up, took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and boarded the bus, which then closed its doors.
All of this happened so fast that Ling Zeyu and the driver didn't even have time to react before Bai Yanfei got on the bus and the doors were already closed.
"Follow him and see what he's doing."
Ling Zeyu's joking remark made Bai Yanfei so nervous. He had no interest in the contents of the bag before, but now he was interested.
Bai Yanfei is so nervous, could it be that the thing inside is related to Bai Yifei?
Bai Yanfei is such a good hider; not a single word leaked out, and his expression remained completely normal. He never knew Bai Yanfei had this side to him. They might as well just give Bai Yanfei the Best Actor award too.
Where does this bus go?
"The destination is at the station."
"Nonsense! I need to know where he went."
"Well... the bus stops at many stations, and I don't know which station Madam will get off at."
If it weren't for his status as the head of the Ling family and the movie star, Ling Zeyu would have had the driver take him to the next stop to wait for the bus.
Finally, Bai Yanfei got off at the stop in front of the hospital. He looked back and seemed to see Ling Zeyu's car. It wasn't far away, and Ling Zeyu could clearly see Bai Yanfei's panicked expression.
This further confirmed Ling Zeyu's inner thoughts.
Sure enough, there was something fishy about the contents of the bag.
He shouldn't have been so careless.
Bai Yanfei jogged back to the ward, where his grandmother was still sleeping.
Bai Yanfei took out all the clothes and put the file bag under his grandmother's pillow.
The ward door opened, and Ling Zeyu strode in.
Seeing his grandmother still fast asleep, Ling Zeyu lowered his voice.
"come out."
Bai Yanfei tiptoed out, and as soon as he stepped out the door, Ling Zeyu grabbed Bai Yanfei's wrist and dragged him into Wen Xiuyuan's office.
Wen Xiuyuan was reading a medical book and thought Su Kai had gone mad again.
"I told you to knock before coming in. This is a hospital, don't be so loud..." Wen Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback after recognizing the person who came in. "Zeyu?"
"Can I borrow your office?"
Wen Xiuyuan looked at Bai Yanfei, then at Ling Zeyu: "Don't mess around in my office. This is my office, not a place for you to run wild."
After saying that, Wen Xiuyuan left.
"Let go of me first, it hurts—" Bai Yanfei looked at his wrist, which was already red. Ling Zeyu's grip was very strong and it hurt him a lot.
What did you take with you?
"I have no idea."
"explain!"
Ling Zeyu unconsciously tightened his grip, causing Bai Yanfei to wince in pain.
"I already said I didn't know! Why would I lie to you? Do you think I'm like you? You're full of lies!"
"Then tell me, what's inside?"
"Grandma's clothes, and the things Grandma wanted—you're even trying to steal these things? Are you even human?!"
Bai Yanfei looked at Ling Zeyu's raised hand and raised his face: "What? You want to hit me again? Where do you want to cripple me this time? Do you want me to become blind or deaf?"
Ling Zeyu's chest heaved as he withdrew his hand.
"I won't hit you. Is the stuff inside related to Xiaofei?"
"I don't know, those are Grandma's things. If you want to know, you can ask Grandma."
Bai Yanfei felt that he had lost all feeling in his wrist, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Let go of me, it hurts."
"Hmph—" Ling Zeyu shook off Bai Yanfei's wrist. "Don't think that just because I haven't been holding a grudge against you lately, you can lie to me. I will naturally ask about the things, but if you lie to me, I will make sure that Bai Zhenrong and Zhang Rongrong don't have a good life."
"Besides threatening me with my family, what else can you do?" Bai Yanfei rubbed his wrist, which was sore from being gripped, and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Oh, no, you can also laugh at me."
"Isn't this something you brought upon yourself?"
Chapter 71 How could such a bad son have been born?
"Yes, it's all my own fault. I deserve it. I was a fool." Bai Yanfei lowered his head, his eyes red. "Can I leave now, President Ling?"
"snort."
Bai Yanfei staggered away. He went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. The icy water stimulated his brain, and Bai Yanfei finally became a little more awake.
He looked at his pale face in the mirror, the red marks around his wrist, and the wet stray hairs on his forehead.
People passing by the restroom wondered what had happened to him, but this was common in hospitals. Several people whispered among themselves, and Bai Yanfei kept his head down, so no one recognized him.
Back in the ward, Ling Zeyu was already chatting with his grandmother. Ling Zeyu was also holding a file folder in his hand, which made Bai Yanfei's eyes widen.
"grandmother!"
That contains something very important to Grandma, how could Ling Zeyu—
"Xiao Yan—cough...cough cough—"
Ling Zeyu quickly helped his grandmother up. Bai Yanfei looked at Ling Zeyu, who revealed a triumphant smile.
"Why did you take the documents out? Isn't this important to you?"
“I thought Zeyu would understand these things better, so I told him about it. There are shares of Bai's here, which I plan to transfer to you. Zeyu said that he has already acquired Bai's, so he has a say in the matter.”
Although Bai Yanfei did not study finance, he knew that even if Ling Zeyu had acquired Bai's Group, Ling Zeyu could not touch the shares.
"Grandma is tired too, let's come again tomorrow. Xiaoyan hasn't been feeling well lately, so we'll head back now."
Grandma nodded: "Okay, then you have to take care of the things I've asked you to do."
"Of course, Grandma, don't worry."
Ling Zeyu curled the corners of his lips and tenderly tucked the blanket around his grandmother, his movements as gentle as a dutiful son. But only Bai Yanfei knew that Ling Zeyu was a devil who would even steal what didn't belong to him.
After they went outside, Bai Yanfei held out his hand: "Give me the things."
"Do you even know what this is? And you just ask me for it?" Ling Zeyu was still holding the document in his hand. "I didn't expect that Grandma was also one of the shareholders of Bai's Group. Bai Zhenrong has been very good to her."
Bai Yanfei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ling Zeyu didn't know that his grandmother was his biological grandmother, nor did he know that Zhang Rongrong was his stepmother.
"Those shares were meant for me by my grandmother."
“I know, but now, it’s my decision.”
Ling Zeyu held the document up high, and Bai Yanfei looked up at the document in Ling Zeyu's hand in disbelief.
"what you up to?"
"Exchange information with Xiaofei."
"I don't have any. If I did, I would have told you immediately." Bai Yanfei's eyes were fixed on Ling Zeyu's hand.
"In that case, I'll give this to you whenever I hear from you."
"Ling Zeyu!" Bai Yanfei couldn't help but shout loudly.
"What's wrong? Do you regret it?" Ling Zeyu lifted Bai Yanfei's chin. "I told you, this is your own doing. From the moment you used Xiaofei to make a deal with me, you should have thought this day would come. Bai Yanfei, you don't deserve any sympathy. You deserve all of this. You stole Xiaofei's things."
"I didn't...I didn't—" Bai Yanfei murmured, "Xiao Fei stole my things, you're lying, you don't know anything—"
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have acquired Bai’s Group, and Grandma wouldn’t be living such a miserable life. These shares would have returned to you. But because you were scheming and married me, all of this is your own doing.”
Ling Zeyu was expressionless, exuding a cold aura. Bai Yanfei looked at Ling Zeyu's face, a face that had been a memory stored in his phone for four years. Ling Zeyu had filled his life during his most youthful and successful years.
In the end, he ended up like this.
No one was in more pain than him.
Ling Zeyu stopped wasting words with Bai Yanfei and turned to leave.
Bai Yanfei stood there, stunned. He wiped away his tears and walked out mechanically.
"I thought you weren't getting on the bus. If you had been two minutes later, I would have left you here."
Bai Yanfei looked lost and bewildered, his eyes darting around as if searching for something.
"Don't bother looking, you won't find it." Ling Zeyu saw through Bai Yanfei's intentions at a glance. "I will destroy everything you want, one by one."
Bai Yanfei leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, his arm resting across his eyelids.
Ling Zeyu won; what he wanted no longer included Ling Zeyu.
"We're going back to the old house tomorrow; Mom wants us to come back for dinner."
"I don't want to go back, you go back."
Ling Zeyu paused, then turned around: "What do you mean? We're already married. You want me to go back alone? What will my mother think?"
"Anyway, you don't really want to marry me. You're only marrying me because you're afraid your parents will get divorced. Why make it sound so nice?"
"How did you find out about this?" Ling Zeyu grabbed Bai Yanfei by the collar, his hawk-like eyes making Bai Yanfei tremble.
Bai Yanfei glared back. He was not afraid of anything now. The Bai family had been acquired by Ling Zeyu, and Bai Zhenrong and Zhang Rongrong had nothing to do with him anymore. Now, only his grandmother was the most important person to him. No matter what, Ling Zeyu would not lay a hand on an old woman who was bedridden.
"Never mind how I know this. All I know is that if you divorce me, your parents will divorce too."
The aura emanating from Ling Zeyu revealed his anger. Bai Yanfei smiled; he knew he had made the right bet.
Sure enough, Ling Zeyu married him for this reason.
Ling Zeyu took a deep breath and threw Bai Yanfei to the ground. Bai Yanfei lost his balance and scraped his elbow on the ground, breaking a piece of skin.
"hiss--"
