Chapter 1438: Chapter 1431 The Storm is Coming (5)

After arriving at the hospital, from a distance, she saw her mother still in the car. Cai Yiren was fine when alone, but as soon as she saw her mother, it seemed like a limitless sense of grievance surged up, and she immediately stopped the car and walked over.

Her mother was still on a phone call, seemingly talking to an uncle.

Recently, these times have been tough for the Bai Family as well as the Cai Family. Even though Cai Yiren was not working and just recuperating at home, she heard from Qin Zhizha, Qin Zhimei, and her mother that Qin Zhiyou was ruthless in his tactics, relentlessly pursuing them. As members of his own family, their division was responsible for purging dissidents and replacing senior management. As for the Bai Family, he had already made Fang Rushuang and her team leave early, significantly weakening the Bai Family. Although Rushuang had left, some business matters hadn’t been fully handed over; she and her team were effectively still receiving salaries from Hanhai without doing any actual work. Some matters involving confidentiality clauses couldn’t even begin until one or two years later. However, it didn’t matter to Qin Zhiyou; to suppress his opponents, he was willing to fund them without leaving anything for the Bai Family.

He also used his subsidiaries to snatch orders from the Bai Family, taking away their clients and competing with them in various fields. If his side really didn’t have the capacity, he referred the projects to other companies, still not leaving any opportunities for the Bai Family. The Bai Family’s capacity was no match for Hanhai, which could drive down prices and compete with the Bai Family on costs. Even if they wanted to sue him for unfair competition, from the court accepting the case, to the trial, to the final judgment, it would take a year. And appealing the decision would only drag it out even longer. But for real estate companies, cash flow is critical, and they simply couldn’t afford to drag things out.

With these few moves, Qin Zhiyou had nearly dragged the Bai Family to the brink of collapse. Originally, the Bai Family had just pulled back from Australia, and though they had made money there, they had barely any foothold left in China. With a few maneuvers from Qin Zhiyou, the Bai Family was nearly falling apart. It was said that Bai Changyou has been so anxious these past few months that he had severe headaches.

In his frustration, he wasn’t very polite to his family either. Especially to Cai Yiren’s mother, who couldn’t avoid being scolded whenever he was at home, including Bai Weiyi. Bai Weiyi was only six years old, a typically lively and cheerful age, and when Bai Changyou was home, he would definitely cling to him. But Bai Changyou had no mood to deal with the child, scolding and shouting at him.

Today was the same; she had originally agreed to accompany Cai Yiren to the hospital, but Bai Weiyi had provoked Bai Changyou at home and was beaten, now crying loudly. Bai Changyou was usually okay, but now he had no mood to comfort his son, and Cai Yiren’s mother was busy on the phone trying to soothe her grandson while asking the Cai Family’s uncle for help.

She also couldn’t leave the hospital, fearing that Cai Yiren would receive the medical report revealing the difficult news about her fertility, so she had no choice but to stay.

Cai Yiren vaguely overheard her mother’s conversation and knew that Bai Changyou liked to take out his anger on her.

Seeing Cai Yiren arrive late, she was a bit puzzled: "Yiren, why have you only just arrived now? Hey? What happened to you?"

Cai Yiren’s mother clearly saw her reddened eyes and exhausted face, a bit shocked.

"Nothing, it’s nothing." Cai Yiren initially felt an urge to tell her mother about Qin Zhizha’s affair. Although she knew her mother couldn’t really help her solve anything, at least speaking it out would feel better. But hearing her mother continuously distressed, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
