Chapter 414: Do you have a boyfriend? How come I didn’t know (1 update)

The two parties heard this and looked at each other.

Bai Dingkai frowned, "You told Grandpa?"

Bai Simen helplessly replied, "What have I said?"

They exchanged silent communication, which Patriarch Bai noticed. He squinted his eyes, half-closing one eyelid while keeping the other open.

If it hadn’t been for his insomnia that night, keeping him awake and suddenly wondering over to the servant’s quarters to chat with the Housekeeper, he wouldn’t have overheard the gossip about these two from their family’s servants.

At that moment, he felt that he had been extremely negligent as a grandfather.

The two of them had actually been intimate, and Bai Simen had even been coerced into getting an abortion by Bai Dingkai. Yet he had been totally oblivious.

He was truly furious. He could hardly believe that such despicable, heartless actions could be committed by descendants of the Bai Family.

If the descendants of the Bai Family were all like Bai Dingkai, cowardly and unwilling to be accountable, he didn’t need to wait and see how long they would last, he could already imagine it.

Later, he even called the hospital where Bai Simen had previously undergone a health checkup and inquired about the doctor she consulted a few years back. The doctor said that the last miscarriage had caused significant damage to Bai Simen’s health.

Moreover, the interval between the two miscarriages was not long, so if Bai Simen wanted to become a mother again, it would take a long time to recuperate and only then could she try again.

But the process would be much more arduous than for other women.

Patriarch Bai truly felt sympathy for Bai Simen.

And he despised Bai Dingkai even more.

"Have you two communicated properly?" After giving them a few more minutes, Patriarch Bai opened his eyes, "How do you plan to continue deceiving me?"

"Grandpa, that was all many years ago," Bai Dingkai admitted his fault, looking down.

"An issue from many years ago is no longer an issue? Bai Dingkai, how did our Bai Family raise someone like you? Hmm? Very well, you can quit your job. Tomorrow, you will come back with me, and in front of your parents, I want to ask them how they taught you to behave and act."

"You are human but don’t act like one, which is contrary to our Bai Family’s traditions. Tell me, can I even let someone like you enter our Bai Family Genealogy? You will inevitably be ridiculed by future generations of the Bai Family and bring shame to us."

"In my lifetime, I have lived cleanly and acted honorably. My requirements for you are not high, just to behave like a person. Is that too much to ask?"

"So what do you want me to do? You say, and I will listen, okay?" Bai Dingkai immediately relented.

He had always known that once Grandpa found out about the incident, no matter how much time had passed or how many years had gone by, there was only one outcome for him.

And that was to take responsibility for Bai Simen.

If this had been three years ago, when he was young and impulsive, he certainly wouldn’t have been happy about it. Even if he couldn’t marry the woman he most desired, at least there should be some love, at least a woman he could fall in love with.

However, over these past few years, he hadn’t met anyone like that.

But since Bai Simen returned, during the time they spent together, he discovered that she had an irresistible attraction to him.

He couldn’t quite explain why, but sometimes he unexplainably wanted to be close to her, to be intimate with her. Seeing her scowl only at him and smile at other men made him very uncomfortable.

Especially since he had once caught her on the phone, speaking in tones like she was coaxing a child, behind everyone’s back.

This woman, she wasn’t secretly raising some "little puppy" under the radar, was she?

If that were true, he...

"Really? You’ll listen to whatever I say? No matter what?" Patriarch Bai’s tone softened slightly. In their Bai Family, mistakes by younger members weren’t forbidden.

To acknowledge one’s faults and correct them is the greatest virtue, after all.

So many years have passed, and even if he were to enforce the Bai Family Rules and leave Bai Dingkai crippled, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing.

If Bai Dingkai and Bai Simen really became a couple, his being crippled wouldn’t benefit Simen at all.

He couldn’t just satisfy his own anger without considering Simen’s future.

Unless Bai Dingkai was too stubborn and refused to take responsibility.

"Yes," Bai Dingkai nodded.

"Alright, then you must marry Simen. I think when the time comes, you three brothers and your three pairs of spouses should all have a joint wedding ceremony."

"Huh? Three pairs? Who else is there?" Bai Dingkai’s focus immediately shifted.

"What does it matter to you, just take care of yourself." Patriarch Bai glared at Bai Dingkai.

Bai Dingkai: "..."

At this moment, seeing that Bai Dingkai was truly not refusing, Bai Simen became anxious, "I’m sorry, Grandfather, I’m afraid I cannot agree to this."

"Hmm? Why? Menmen, don’t be scared. It’s Grandfather’s fault for not knowing about this earlier. If it weren’t for the servants gossiping that night, Grandfather would still be kept in the dark."

"Now that Grandfather knows, he will definitely make decisions on your behalf. You just relax and be Grandfather’s granddaughter-in-law. The first time Grandfather saw you, he felt we got along very well."

"Moreover, after marrying Dingkai, you will still call me Grandfather, and no one will dare to gossip about you anymore, right? If you don’t want to, is it because you don’t like Grandfather, or is it because of Dingkai?"

"Grandfather, ever since I willingly took your surname, in my heart, you will always be my Grandfather, and that will not change regardless of anyone or anything."

"Grandfather hears that, so it’s that you don’t like Dingkai, is that it?" Patriarch Bai wasn’t foolish.

Indeed, this young man had done such a despicable thing years ago and even kept it from him, it would be strange if Simen still liked him.

He was just considering the possibility that Simen might never be able to become a mother, and with such a physical defect, it wouldn’t be easy for her to find a good man to marry.

Since the calamity was caused by Bai Dingkai, it should naturally be his responsibility.

And yet, she didn’t even want him. This showed just how much of a failure Bai Dingkai was in his conduct.

On the other hand, hearing Patriarch Bai say this, Bai Dingkai couldn’t believe it as he looked at Bai Simen. What did she mean by this?

Refusing to marry him?

He was willing to take responsibility, yet she still refused?

Was she too proud?

"I used to like you, but I started a new life a long time ago, and besides, I have a boyfriend now. Grandfather, I’m sorry."

"There’s nothing to be sorry about, having a boyfriend is good. Then, after your collaboration is over, Dingkai will have to come home and face the punishment of the family rules for breaking them. Without rules, there is no standard."

Bai Simen: "..."

She didn’t expect that after so many years, Grandfather would still want to punish Bai Dingkai.

She just didn’t want to have any further involvement with him. Besides, years ago, she was willing, and Bai Dingkai didn’t force or deceive her.

It was her lack of ability that ultimately failed to move his heart. That was all.

It wasn’t his fault.

"You have a boyfriend? How come I didn’t know about it?" Bai Dingkai focused on the fact that Bai Simen just said she had a boyfriend, his voice icy cold, with anger surging in his chest.
