Chapter 431: Chapter 402: Suffer from Their Own Actions, Being a Guest_1

In contrast, Xin Anan’s company filed for bankruptcy in advance.

Ye Weiwen became a laughingstock among a circle of friends.

Once again, Xin Wei visited his biological mother’s home, found his sister, and slapped her across the face, scolding, "You ungrateful thing, don’t call me brother ever again!"

After hitting her, Xin Wei squinted his eyes at Ye Weiwen and said, "The most shameful thing in my life is having a mother like you!"

With that, Xin Wei left without looking back.

He returned to the company to deal with the messy affairs.

The things his mother and sister had done brought him a lot of trouble, but because of the good preparatory work done beforehand, he was still able to cope and hadn’t reached the point of bankruptcy. Just a little more perseverance, and he believed things could turn around.

What really infuriated Bai Qiongyu was the absurd lawsuit that Ye Weiwen had actually filed.

Bai Qiongyu entrusted the lawyers with full authority to handle these issues, as she didn’t want to deal with them whatsoever.

Because she was now preparing to return to her home country.

Bai Qiongyu once again invited Huo Yingjun to discuss the matter of returning home.

Huo Yingjun had also received feedback from the Huo Family in the Capital City; they would accept Bai Qiongyu’s return, but she had to prepare well.

"Madam Bai, everything has been arranged. This time we’ll fly directly to Paris, then transfer from Paris straight to Yanjing," Huo Yingjun said, following the route set by his superiors. Since Chin and the US had already established diplomatic relations, there would be no need for the kind of trouble they had before.

After giving it some thought, Bai Qiongyu said, "That’s even better. I have some properties in France as well. It’d be good to check on them before going."

Wealthy people indeed; they have properties everywhere.

"Sure, you can go ahead. You could also meet up with us in Paris," Huo Yingjun suggested.

Bai Qiongyu didn’t want to stay here anymore either; the oppressive, murky environment was simply exasperating.

He Tiantian and Third Grandma Qi were preparing things on their side.

Third Grandma Qi called He Tiantian over and said, "Tiantian, your grandmother really hopes you’ll stay with her for a few days."

He Tiantian sighed, "Can I not go? I don’t have much to talk about with my grandma."

"Your grandmother put so much effort into preparing your room, and it’s a shame you’ve never stayed in it," Third Grandma Qi said. "As someone who has been there, I know that old people, having reached an age, like to be close to the younger generation. Although she hasn’t said it, your grandmother must feel this way, or she wouldn’t have prepared such a nice room."

He Tiantian realized this was true and said, "Alright then, I’ll make some pastries and bring them to grandma later."

"That’s the spirit," Third Grandma Qi said. "Tiantian, remember, blood ties are not to be broken unless absolutely necessary. You’re talking about your grandmother, and no matter what she did before, you need to remember that she gave life to your father, and that’s why you’re here. If she failed to raise your father, it’s her dereliction of duty; she owes your father, not you."

Third Grandma Qi was discussing the matter objectively, worried that He Tiantian, being young, might not understand these things.

"I understand, grandma," He Tiantian nodded. She respected her grandmother who doted on her.

As for the rest, she would discuss it when she saw her father later.

He Tiantian made a call first to announce her visit to the mansion in the afternoon.

When Xianglan received the call, she was overjoyed and prepared many of He Tiantian’s favorite foods. She also called the company to ask Miss Bai to come home from work early.

When Bai Qiongyu received Xianglan’s call, she was also very pleased, which greatly increased her work efficiency in the afternoon, allowing her to return home an hour early.

When He Tiantian came in the afternoon, she brought a few changes of clothes.

"Miss Xiao Xiao, I’ll take your luggage upstairs for you and show you the room. If there’s anything you don’t like, just tell me, and I’ll immediately change it to something you prefer," Xianglan said with a smile, leading He Tiantian upstairs.

The room upstairs had been ready for some time, but they had been too shy to invite Miss Xiao Xiao to stay.

"Thank you, Grandma Lan, for putting up with me this time," He Tiantian said with a smile, feeling a bit embarrassed for turning up uninvited.

However, Third Grandma Qi had said that their grandmother was a woman with a tough exterior but a tender heart.

As the junior, she should not put on airs.

After all, they were family, and it was important to show the necessary respect to her elders.

"It’s not a bother at all. I and the young miss are too happy to have the chance," Xianglan laughed. They reached the top floor, and she opened the door.

Everything inside was top-notch and warm. It was not simply pink; there were also touches of off-white, making it very cozy.

"It’s beautiful," He Tiantian said in thanks. "I really like it."

"I’m glad you like it, Miss Xiao Xiao. Rest for a bit inside, and I’ll go check the kitchen," Xianglan said with a smile, letting Miss Xiao Xiao get used to the surroundings by herself. Having her around might make Miss Xiao Xiao uncomfortable.

After Xianglan left, He Tiantian looked around the room carefully.

Such a room was even more exquisite than those of the Qi Family; it was her first time staying in such a nice room in both her past and current life.

Now that she had one more relative, He Tiantian still felt very happy inside.

The only thing was, she had no way to share the good news with her parents or tell Huo Yingjie about it.

Not being able to share the good news was also a kind of pain.

Fortunately, she had the Snake King!

"Gurulu gurumi..." He Tiantian called out in her heart. Lately, the Snake King had been going to the seashore every night and cultivating during the day; she hadn’t seen him for a long time.

The Snake King awoke from his cultivation, asking lazily, "What do you need from this great one?"

"Snake King, didn’t you notice I’m in a different place?" He Tiantian asked. "How do you like this room?"

The Snake King released his Divine Sense, took a quick look around, and said, "This is your birth grandmother’s home. Not bad."

"Snake King, you’re so powerful; can you tell me what exactly happened between my past-life grandmother and my father?" He Tiantian asked. This question had been lingering in her heart for a while, and she wanted to know the truth.

An embarrassed look crossed the Snake King’s face; he only knew about the affairs of He Tiantian, and he wasn’t yet capable of deducing what had happened to the others.

"After I get through the Six-Day Mysterious Thunder, perhaps I will be able to know," said the Snake King. "As it stands, even if you ask, I cannot answer."

He Tiantian felt a bit disappointed, but she had already prepared herself for this.

"Alright then, Snake King, focus on your cultivation and achieve greatness soon," He Tiantian encouraged, pinning her hopes on the Snake King.

"This great one will do his best," the Snake King said seriously. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to my cultivation."

"Hey, hey, Snake King, since you’re awake, let’s chat some more!" He Tiantian said. "Have you made any progress in your cultivation recently?"

"Yes!" the Snake King nodded. "The sea is vast and boundless; the Spiritual Energy is sparse, but the area is huge. After going out a few times, I’ve gained a lot."
