“Did he say anything?” Bai Lianjie knew his son well, so he understood this statement needed to be interpreted in reverse. No mention meant something was mentioned. Originally fine meant it was originally bad. Connecting the dots, Bai Lianjie roughly guessed the cause, feeling a hint of nervousness while being angry at his son’s incompetence.
“Yes, he said a lot!” Bai Hai hurriedly nodded, this time not fabricating anything, honestly telling Bai Lianjie everything Hao Yunyang said, and finally adding his own fabrication: “And he also said that you’re just a dog barking for no reason, and I’m—”
“Slap!” A loud slap, Bai Lianjie glaring at Bai Hai: “If you keep making things up, I’ll kill you right now.”
Bai Hai shut up, lowering his head.
“Was all of that what he said?” Seeing Bai Hai’s lowered head, Bai Lianjie confirmed his suspicion, feeling a chill. While he was still in office, he could somewhat protect his son, but what about after retirement? His son didn’t even have the ability to beg on the street!
“It was all him,” Bai Hai nodded repeatedly. Bai Lianjie glared, and Bai Hai instinctively covered his cheek: “It was really what he said, I didn’t make it up!”
“Get out!” Bai Lianjie took a deep breath, pointing to the office door: “Don’t go to Jiuxiao for work anymore. Act like nothing happened!”
“But he hit me—”
“Get out!” Bai Lianjie roared, and Bai Hai immediately fled in panic.
Watching his son’s hurried escape, Bai Lianjie seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Filled with both disappointment and the unfulfilled hope of a father, he sighed deeply: “Alas—”
“How have you been lately?” Hao Yunyang, accompanied by Kong Lingqiu, took a tour around the company, which was now well-established. Naturally, Hao Yunyang felt no jealousy towards Kong Lingqiu’s success, but was genuinely happy for him. After all, Kong Lingqiu’s success was inseparable from Hao Yunyang’s help, and the more successful Kong Lingqiu was, the more it would benefit Hao Yunyang.
Sitting in Kong Lingqiu’s simply decorated office, Hao Yunyang smiled and said, “Looking at your radiant face, you seem to be living quite comfortably, right?”
