Chapter 151: This Beautiful Dream is About to Shatter

Sirui, it has to do with Father's sudden serious illness; if it weren't for this company, Father should still be alive today.

It was this company that caused her family to be broken and destroyed.

Could it be that this company has a connection to Han Yangting?

Bai Shuruo no longer had the heart to work, so she walked over to the sofa and then made a phone call to Lin Wanfen.

At first, she didn't get straight to the point, but instead exchanged pleasantries for quite a while. Aunt Fen also cared about her, asking how Han Yangting was recovering now, and she told her the truth. Then she asked about Bai Shuhua's current situation, and Aunt Fen said that Bai Shuhua was also doing quite well.

After the pleasantries were finished, Bai Shuruo finally began to ask: "Aunt Fen, I want to ask you, do you know of a company called Sirui?"

"Sirui?" As soon as Lin Wanfen heard this company name, she became agitated: "Ruoruo, why are you asking about this? Didn't this company get deregistered? It can't be looked up anymore."

"I... I just wanted to ask, what happened with Dad's company back then? Does it have anything to do with this Sirui company?"

"Yes, of course it has a connection!" Lin Wanfen was still very agitated: "It is said that this company was used by some rich second-generation heir back then to practice his skills. This rich heir was extremely arrogant; relying on having a bit of talent in the business world, he would point fingers everywhere. Originally, he was going to invest in your father's new energy vehicle project. Your father was extremely happy, went to the bank to take out a huge loan, and also sold off many real estate assets, just waiting to do something big. However, when it came down to it, this rich heir went back on his word, only saying that this project wasn't mature enough and he wouldn't invest. Your father was so angry that he had a stroke, and that project just fizzled out. Ruoruo, do you know this rich heir? What is his name? No matter what his name is, I want to go and scold him myself. Does he know how miserable he made our whole family because of his impulsive decision?"

"No, no, I was just asking casually," Bai Shuruo said: "I just suddenly saw this name and felt it looked a bit familiar."

Lin Wanfen was still cursing on the other end of the phone, as if the pent-up frustration of many years had finally found a point of release.

In the past, Bai Shuruo was young and didn't understand things, so Lin Wanfen found it difficult to curse about this to Bai Shuruo, but now that Bai Shuruo had grown up, Lin Wanfen could naturally let go and curse.

"Ruoruo, if you know this rich heir, you must use all your connections to let him experience the taste of company bankruptcy once too. I believe your Han Yangting has the ability to do that!"

Bai Shuruo could only say: "Don't worry, Aunt Fen, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuruo leaned weakly against the sofa, one moment feeling a chill down her spine, the next feeling her head burning hot.

When it was time to get off work, Han Yangting called her.

She glanced at the caller ID and did not answer.

In the span of a single day, it was as if a thousand mountains and ten thousand seas stood between them; this name was, to her, so familiar yet so strange.

Later, it was Han Yangting who came to find her.

Seeing her lying on the sofa, he squatted down and called out gently: "Ruoruo."

Bai Shuruo opened her eyes to look at him.

He was so tall, refined, and such an outstanding person; how could he be so good to her?

"Brother Han, was it really love at first sight for you with me?" Bai Shuruo asked.

Han Yangting was stunned for a moment, then asked her: "Everything is fine, why ask this?"

Then he touched her forehead; it turned out she had a fever, no wonder she would ask that.

"Ruoruo, you are sick, go home and rest first."

He took off his suit jacket to cover her, fetched her bag for her, put her phone into the bag, then placed the bag on her stomach, and finally picked her up.

Passing through the assistant's office and secretary's office outside, Bai Shuruo could feel envious gazes everywhere.

However, there was only coldness on her body.

Returning home, the family doctor came to examine her and said there was nothing serious, she just needed to pay attention to rest.

Bai Shuruo lay on the bed, and Han Yangting was taking care of her.

He applied an ice towel to her and wiped her body.

Bai Shuruo didn't know why, but she started to cry.

"Silly, it's just a fever, it's not that uncomfortable, I'm here," Han Yangting said while stroking her face.

Bai Shuruo knew that she wasn't feeling uncomfortable because of the illness at this moment, but rather that she seemed to have been living in a beautiful dream, and this dream was about to shatter.

"Brother Han, do you really like me?" she asked with a hoarse voice.

"Silly, why do you always ask these questions?" Han Yangting couldn't help but ask: "What is wrong with you today?"

She shook her head, holding back tears, and did not answer.

The matter had no conclusion yet; she could not question him now.

If she questioned him, there would only be one result: either divorce, or... she dared not think.

She was not yet prepared.

"Brother Han, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while."

"Mm, sleep then, I'll stay by your side," Han Yangting lay down beside her and watched her fall asleep.

But she turned over, keeping a distance from him.

He was a bit surprised by this reaction, but thinking that she was unwell, he did not probe further.

Bai Shuruo only slept for one night, and the fever broke; the next day she had no discomfort.

Although Han Yangting hoped she would continue to rest, she did not accept it and instead strongly insisted on going to the company to work.

Han Yangting had no choice but to follow her wishes.

This day, Meng Ze came in to deliver documents.

Meng Ze didn't use to be particular about his clothing and liked to be unconventional, but now at Baiyin Group, he clearly paid attention to his image; although he still wore jeans, he would pair them with a casual suit jacket on the outside.

"Bai Vice President, please take a good look at today's documents."

Bai Shuruo, however, stopped Meng Ze: "Meng Ze, which bar do you usually go to for drinks?"

Meng Ze was stunned for a moment and asked her: "Does Bai Vice President want to go drinking?"

Bai Shuruo smiled: "I've never been to a bar, I want to go and experience it."

Meng Ze said: "The one in your family manages you so strictly, how could he possibly let you go drinking? I advise you to give up this thought; if you really want to drink, go back to your mansion to drink. I believe your husband has every kind of liquor."

Bai Shuruo smiled.

What Meng Ze said was true; if he dared to take her to drink, he would be fired tomorrow. She could not implicate him.

Meng Ze saw that Bai Shuruo had something on her mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Has Bai Vice President encountered some difficulty?"

Bai Shuruo looked at Meng Ze and asked, "Before I answer this question, I want to ask you one thing first: are you loyal to me, or are you loyal to the Baiyin Group?"

Meng Ze looked at Bai Shuruo with an increasingly probing gaze, "Boss lady, could it be that you are thinking of usurping the throne?"

Bai Shuruo smiled, "I don't have such great ambition."

Only then did Meng Ze say, "I suppose I am loyal to you. Speak, what do you want me to do?"

Bai Shuruo was rather cautious; she smiled and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I do."
