An Exclusive love

Chapter 438 - Adopting a Granddaughter

Scar was sponging a meal at Jiang Rui’s.


“If Bai Ziqi takes a fancy to her, I would be free.” Scar was eating chicken’s feet with eagerness on his face.


Xiao Si shook his head while he was picking his teeth. “That’s unlikely.”


“Why? Han Xueying is so pretty.”


“Then why don’t you like her?” Xiao Si squinted at him.


Scar twitched his mouth and said, “She can’t beat me.”


“Few women can beat you.” Chen Chen couldn’t help interrupting. “You’ll end up as a bachelor.”


“It doesn’t matter, sister. I still have Xiao Si!” Scar leaned forward grossly close to Xiao Si’s face, but was pushed away. “Stop day-dreaming. Bai Ziqi has become so astute recently. If he takes interest in Han Xueying, he would have investigated her already.”


Seeing that Chen Chen had finished her meal, Jiang Rui took up his bowl and said after giving Scar a stare, “You need to check it at night. Han Xueying has won my grandma’s favor, but I really have no idea how she will use her.”


“Wouldn’t it be risky to act at night?” Scar shook his head. “I’ll call her later.”


After the two of them were driven away, Chen Chen took a shower and lay in Jiang Rui’s arms.


“Even if Han Xueying’s identity is OK, the Bai family won’t let Bai Ziqi marry her, will they?”


Hearing her say this, Jiang Rui suddenly stopped kissing her shoulder, and his face darkened. “You seem to be so interested in Bai Ziqi, aren’t you?”


“Not at all!” Chen Chen held his waist in a flattering manner. “Today, I’ve heard from many people at the table that he might succeed you!”


“Yes, but not unless I’m dead.” Jiang Rui laughed. “We are of totally different classes. Are those people blind?”


Chen Chen managed to hold back her laughter, for she thought Jiang Rui had become jealous.


“Don’t think that I didn’t see you laughing.” Jiang Rui looked at her threateningly.


“Well, I don’t care about what others say. He can’t compete with you at all!”


The little woman hid herself under his arms like an octopus. However, Jiang Rui could never resist the temptation and was anxious to have her.


Yet Chen Chen discovered his intention, so she chuckled and was about to run away but was pulled back beneath his body.


“You want to run away?” The man leaned over.


After getting laid, Chen Chen later received two messages that the senior Mr. Bai approved Bai Ziqi’s request to choose the one he would marry on his own, in order to make up his sacrifice for the Bai family. Then Han Xueying might get the chance to be accepted as a member of the rich family.


But Chen Chen was too simple-mined. As Xiao Si had said, Bai Ziqi began to investigate Han Xueying’s background. When he discovered that she was brought back to the capital by Jiang Rui, his mindset underwent a total change, for the common affection between a man and a woman now became a state affair.


From his point of view, there was no reason for Jiang Rui to bring back a woman, so Han Xueying’s identity became quite intriguing. But Bai Ziqi’s efforts were in vain in the end. When he was considering to ask Jiang Rui directly, Han Xueying called him unexpectedly.


After driving to the named place, he found Han Xueying sitting on a bench by the roadside, looking helpless and frightened, for she was surrounded by several men.


“Miss, you sprained your ankle. But don’t be afraid, let me carry you!”


“That’s right. Come on, pick one of us.”


“Why does she need to pick? The girl looks so pretty. Why don’t we carry her together?”


Han Xueying was almost crying. Now, it was dusk and the place was away from the road. It was of no use for her to shout for help.


“What do you want to do to this young lady?” Bai Ziqi came over frowning.


“Mr… Mr. Bai!” When Han Xueying struggled to stand on her feet, Bai Ziqi gave her a hand. “Don’t move. Let me take care of this.”


There was no doubt that a special forces soldier could give a beating to these hooligans. In the end, they swore and ran off. Bai Ziqi crouched down to look at Han Xueying’s foot. “Let me take you to the hospital. It’s badly hurt.”


Han Xueying held back the tears in her eyes. “Sorry to trouble you… Meiyu didn’t answer the phone so I have no one to turn to in the capital.”


“Why didn’t you call Scar?” Bai Ziqi’s flashed a look over her face.


Han Xueying was seized with a terror and said in no time, “You know about me and Scar, Mr. Bai?”


“Don’t get me wrong. We have no secrets in this circle. Everybody knew he brought back a woman after vacation.” Bai Ziqi helped her get in the car.


Han Xueying fastened the belt by herself. “Well, it was Scar who thought I was poor and alone. So he asked me to return back with him. Now, I live in Chief Jiang’s place.” Seeing Bai Ziqi start the car, she bit her lip and finally said, “Scar called me yesterday and said he had a mission. These days, it will be not easy to contact him.”


Bai Ziqi pressed on the accelerator quietly. In the morning, he had just seen Scar shooting with the new recruits.


“Actually, our relationship is not what you think.” Han Xueying had made a decision in her mind. “He’s kind and took me in. But there’s nothing between us.” She sighed after finishing her words. “Now, everybody gets it wrong.”


“It’s OK.” Bai Ziqi smiled and said, “When everyone gets used to it, no one will mention it. By the way, why did you come here alone?”


Han Xueying said in a hurry, “I came to accompany Grandma Jiang to learn the tea ceremony. After that, it seemed that there was something urgent in her family so I didn’t want to trouble her to send me home. As a result, I stepped on a stone and sprained my ankle. Unfortunately, I encountered those guys. ”


“Song Chunli?” Bai Ziqi frowned. “Did it have something to do with Jiang Rui?”


“That old lady is picky. She only liked my sister before, now I don’t imagine that you could gain her favor.”


Han Xueying had heard about Bai Weirong, and was very jealous of her.


To be honest, she accompanied Song Chunli scrupulously the whole afternoon and she could not figure out what the old lady wanted to do. Generally, they made some small talk and the old lady occasionally asked about her future plans.


“Miss Bai is a famous lady in the capital. How can I compare with her?” Han Xueying gave a gentle smile. “I suppose Grandma Jiang was feeling alone. But Meiyu lacks patience and is unwilling to stay with old people.”


Bai Ziqi gave her a look. “It seems you don’t need me. Someone has come to your aid!”


“Mr. Bai…” Han Xueying lowered her head embarrassedly, stealing a look at him through the foggy air. “Thank you. If not for you, I would be in a worse state.”


When they arrived at the hospital, Bai Ziqi kept her company when she went through every procedure. Han Xueying did not invite him to stay with her. It was not until she saw him off that she took out her phone.


“Hey, well done, all of you. The money has been transferred.”


A roguish voice came from over the phone. “You are so straightforward, Miss. Contact us if you are in need!”


“Got it.” Han Xueying hung up the phone and stumbled into the elevator.


She played a trick by injuring herself today and designed a typical drama in which she, as a beauty, was rescued. She was wondering if Bai Ziqi already had some feelings for her.


Shortly after Song Chunli’s birthday, she just caused another sensation in the capital.


“What the hell are you up to?” Jiang Min went back from the outside with a shout. “Why did you suddenly adopt a granddaughter?”


“I hit it off with Xueying. She’s an orphan. So I just adopted her as my granddaughter. I don’t see anything improper in it,” Song Chunli said in a casual way. “I don’t see any reason that you should oppose it either.”


Jiang Qianren said helplessly behind Jiang Min, “Mom, don’t you think you are too impulsive to adopt a grandchild who came out of nowhere?”


“What do you mean by ‘out of nowhere’?” Song Chunli retorted. “Didn’t Xueying come with Jiang Rui? If she was questionable, then why did he bring her back?”


Jiang Min said, “Save your breath. She won’t hear it.”


“Yes!” Song Chunli insisted. “Let me tell you. No one could stop me from adopting this child, or I’ll leave the Jiang family and spend the rest of my days with her.”


Jiang Rui had told them that Song Chunli had to stay in the Jiang family. Yet she knew it somehow, and now she used this against them frequently.


“Mom…” Jiang Qianren felt so annoyed. However, Jiang Min sneered. “Well, do as you wish. But I still have to remind you that if something happens, you can hold yourself accountable. I settled it for you last time. But from now on, your business has nothing to do with the Jiang family. You can deal with it all by yourself.”


Song Chunli raised her neck and said, “Mind your own business.”


Jiang Min walked away angrily. Jiang Qianren, who wanted to go away, was stopped by Song Chunli. “Help me arrange a dinner in a restaurant. I will formally adopt the child. Invite more people. I need the party to be done perfectly.”


“Mom, help yourself. I have things to attend to in the army.” Jiang Qianren found his mother more and more intolerable so he left home in a hurry.


Song Chunli got very angry and broke a glass on the ground. She then picked up the phone. “Huh, I’ll do it by myself!”


Chen Chen heard it from a gossip magazine. It said that Bai Weirong was pregnant, so Lu Tao was so subservient to her. They showed off their love in every way. Chen Chen originally planned to play a joke with Jiang Rui that he had lost an admirer. But out of expectation, Jiang Rui frightened her.


“Adopt her as a granddaughter?”


“Right, the invitations have been sent out and a lot of people are invited.” Jiang Rui’s face darkened, for this news made him confused as well.


Chen Chen rose abruptly. “Brother Xiao Rui, do you think that there might be some possibilities that your grandma is…” She pointed at her head.


“Do you mean she was controlled?” Jiang Rui’s eyes lit up.


“Back in the old days, had Uncle Ying been almost hypnotized?” Chen Chen said seriously. “Like I did it to her the other day. But the hypnotism of a higher level is even more potent!”


Jiang Rui frowned and asked, “You did perform hypnosis on that day. Is there secondary hypnosis?”


Could a man who had been hypnotized once be hypnotized once more?


Chen Chen thought it over and said, “Or, I can do another test. There is a kind of medicine that can awaken a person from deep sleep. But if she’s not under hypnosis, it might cause damage to her brain.”


It seemed the drugs made by that woman all had side-effects.


Jiang Rui nodded his head. “I’ll discuss it with Grandpa.”


From his perspective, he would rather her become an idiot than see her make trouble like she was doing now.


Now, the happiest one had to be Han Xueying. No one had ever thought she would profit so much from Song Chunli within just a few days, which came so easily. When she felt so pleased with all this, the doorbell rang.


“Meiyu!” She opened the door immediately. “Come in.”


Song Meiyu stared at her angrily, and slapped her in the face. “Bitch!”
