Chapter 226: Chapter 226 I Won’t Let You Succeed_1

Bai Fei returned, followed by a female assistant carrying large and small packages.

"Grandma, I see you’ve come," Bai Fei greeted Li Fengguan with a smile on his face.

The elderly lady nodded with a smile.

Turning to address his uncles seated around, Bai Fei greeted them humbly and with great respect. Bai Minghang and the others’ expressions softened slightly as they responded.

Bai Xiaosheng’s uncle and aunt, with smiles plastered on their faces, had a tone of voice that was noticeably lower than the others.

"Son, you’re so busy, why come back so early! Coming over in the evening would have sufficed. Your father and I, along with your grandma and your uncles, we all agreed on that," Bai Xiaosheng’s aunt chided softly, though her face radiated with pride.

When it came to who was the most promising grandchild, niece, or nephew, and who the family could rely on in times of trouble, wasn’t it her son Bai Fei!

"Mom, with such a big issue arising at home, of course I had to come back early to help. If a family doesn’t help its own, outsiders will laugh at us!" Bai Fei stated righteously, his words pleasing to the ear.

Several uncles nodded frequently.

Being capable really made a difference. Look at how pleasantly this child speaks!

Bai Minghang’s face also looked somewhat better.

"And who is this young lady?" Li Fengguan asked, looking at the female assistant behind Bai Fei, who was pretty and likable.

Being her grandson too, she cared for him flesh and blood alike and was also concerned about Bai Fei’s marital affairs.

"Grandma, I am Bai Fei’s legal assistant," the girl said with a sweet smile.

Besides, she had already shared a bed with Bai Fei. Coming back with him this time, she was overjoyed in her heart, treating it as if she was meeting the parents.

"Legal, assistant?" Li Fengguan repeated the term awkwardly, not quite understanding.

"Oh, it means helping Manager Bai Fei to draft legal contracts and review legal provisions. I heard that this time, you would be doing property division, and I have some knowledge of that, so I came over," the assistant said with a sweet smile.

"Shut your mouth, what nonsense are you spouting!" Bai Fei’s face changed, and he quickly scolded her.

But it was too late.

The entire room heard her clearly.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Li Fengguan’s smile gradually sunk.

"Mingzhi’s proposal, it wasn’t your own idea, was it," Li Fengguan said softly.

It was clearly Bai Fei’s idea; he even brought the contract drafter with him.

Bai Fei glared fiercely at the female assistant, who looked wronged, pouting her lips.

"Enough, I’m tired. You all... leave," Li Fengguan said wearily, waving her hand outward.

Calm, resigned.

Feeling a chill in her heart realizing that even her own grandson was scheming against her, Li Fengguan was disheartened.

The once dominant and unparalleled matriarch of the Bai Family suddenly seemed old and decrepit.

"Draft the contract if you must. Tonight, let the children all come over. Whatever amount they put up, I won’t let them suffer losses!"

The elderly lady murmured to herself, slowly standing up. Mingzhi tried to support her but she shooed him away abruptly, Bai Minghang attempted the same and was also pushed away.

Only Bai Xiaosheng’s mother, Li Qiuyun, was able to grasp her arm.

The elderly lady did not refuse.

Everyone watched as Li Qiuyun helped the elderly lady into the bedroom.

Bai Minghang stood up, furrowing his brows and looking at Bai Fei with disgust, snorting heavily through his nostrils before walking away.

The others exchanged glances.

The eldest uncle and his wife smiled awkwardly, while Bai Xiaosheng’s uncle and aunt smiled at Bai Fei.

The meeting dispersed.

The people left with different emotions.

Bai Xiaosheng’s uncle and aunt, looking extremely pleased, escorted their son home.

At that moment, in Li Fengguan’s bedroom.

Li Qiuyun sat down to comfort her.

"Mom, don’t take it to heart. Your grandson isn’t only Bai Fei! In these past years, Sheng also made some money outside... If it really isn’t enough, we’ll figure something out. Don’t listen to Mingzhi and the others!"

Li Fengguan gave a bitter smile and shook her head.

"Qiuyun, there’s no need to persuade me anymore. I accept Mingzhi’s family’s proposal... Once this matter is settled, I will go to the nursing home," Li Fengguan said calmly.

She didn’t want to stay here any longer!

This house, now so unfamiliar, couldn’t be called home anymore.

If they want it, let them have it!

"You can’t go to a nursing home! If you don’t want to live here, come stay at my place, I will take care of you! With so many sons, there must be one who can be of use!" Li Qiuyun held Li Fengguan’s hand, nearly commanding.

As she looked at her daughter-in-law, she saw herself from years past.

Li Fengguan’s eyes stung, and her grip tightened slightly.

...

At Bai Xiaosheng’s house.

Bai Xiaosheng had a good sleep, feeling refreshed and invigorated. After getting up, he realized that both his dad and mom were not at home, although breakfast was still warm.

After washing up and eating, Bai Xiaosheng was ready to go out for a walk.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of the door unlocking and saw his father, Bai Minghang, enter with a dark face, slamming the door as if to vent.

Dad, why such anger?

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback and approached.

"What’s wrong, Dad? What happened, and where’s Mom?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

Seeing his son, Bai Minghang’s expression softened somewhat.

This child, even if he didn’t do as well as Bai Fei on the outside, and wasn’t as successful, had integrity, unlike Bai Fei who had thin family feelings and a heart of stone!

This comforted Bai Minghang greatly.

"Sheng, Dad has something to tell you!"

Bai Minghang sat down on the sofa and gestured opposite. Bai Xiaosheng walked over and sat down.

The thing Dad is about to talk about must be the one that has all the family members concerned, Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

"Your fourth uncle’s Shuanglei, he’s in the hospital, has a tumor in his head," Bai Minghang sighed.

Bai Shuanglei.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze became more focused.

To be honest, he didn’t have much affection for this cousin, as they hadn’t spent much time together when they were kids. But Bai Shuanglei was still one of the Bai Family Members, and facing such an illness, Bai Xiaosheng naturally couldn’t ignore it.

"The treatment costs eight hundred thousand... eight hundred thousand!"

Bai Minghang let out a heavy sigh. Such a large sum of money weighed on him like a stone.

Even though their generation, thanks to resettlement, had houses and some money, after paying for their children’s education and years of household expenses, there wasn’t much saved. Mingzhi, the most successful one, did only a small business.

It seemed the younger generation fared better.

"These days, your fourth uncle and aunt have been looking for money everywhere, and we also chipped in, but we’re still short by two hundred thousand! Originally, we thought about asking the younger generation to contribute..."

At this point, Bai Minghang’s breath became rough with anger, "But just now, your third uncle and aunt called us for a meeting and dared to eye your grandmother’s house, wanting to divide it early and even talked about allocating shares, using the money donated from each family to buy your fourth uncle’s share. Can you believe it! Such crafty scheming!"

Bai Minghang said, nearly exploding with rage.

Bai Xiaosheng’s brow slightly furrowed, and his gaze turned icy.

"Just now Bai Fei came back, and from his words, I thought this kid was not like Mingzhi, so obsessed with wealth," Bai Minghang sneered, "But in reality, this idea was completely his doing! He even brought a lawyer with him. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; Mingzhi has raised a fine son indeed!"

Bai Minghang said angrily.

Bai Fei, huh?

The person who picked on me, Bai Xiaosheng, the most when I was a child.

And now he’s picking on my grandma!

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes were cold as ice.

Bai Fei, I won’t let you succeed!
