Chapter 14 Visiting in Person

• Bai Yong Ming was having none of it, especially when the guy standing before him with his leg up was the person he absolutely despised.
• He pointed at Cheng Yuan’s nose, gritted his teeth, “Cheng Yuan, don’t you bloody be full of yourself, wait till I bring this up to master, I’m curious to see how he deals with you.”
• Following this, he turned his attention to Bai An Xiang, “Bai An Xiang, let me ask you one more time, are you going back with me? If not, I’ll call grandpa at once and you’ll have to explain to him.”
• Not only did Bai An Xiang feel threatened by his words, even Li Ning Juan started to feel diffident.
• Master Bai was highly respected in the Bai Family, nobody had the stomach to provoke him since he could easily disown anyone and banish them from the family.
• Bai An Xiang gazed at Cheng Yuan anxiously.
• But Cheng Yuan remained calm and collected.
• “Don’t worry, I’ll deal with it.” He said to her.
• Bai An Xiang nodded subconsciously.
• Seeing how she blindly trusted Cheng Yuan, Bai Yong Ming was infuriated, he said with a grimace, “Fine, just wait and see, all of you’ll regret this.”
• He took out his phone and called master.
• “Cheng Yuan, what the hell are you doing?” Li Ning Juan was troubled, regardless of how shrewish she might be, she had tremendous respect and fear for master. Thus, she quickly switched sides, “If you want to jump into the swamp, don’t you bring An Xiang along.”
• Cheng Yuan said nonchalantly, “Mom, please don’t worry.”
• Li Ning Juan became confused and suscipious from the sight of Cheng Yuan’s confidence and adamance.
• She felt strange, just like Ban An Xiang did earlier, as the person before her felt like a different man.
• “Grandpa, Bai An Xiang refused to return to the company and her useless husband is blocking the doorway. They are obviously not acting in the best interests of the company, what do you think we should do now?”
• Bai Yong Ming complained bitterly on the phone to master.
• When they heard the complaint, Bai An Xiang and Li Ning Juan started to be increasingly anxious and at a loss.
• “Bai An Xiang, grandpa wants to talk to you.” Bai Yong Ming handed the phone to Bai An Xiang.
• Bai An Xiang was shocked, she slowly put her hand out while it was shuddering lightly.
• However, Cheng Yuan snatched the phone away from Bai Yong Ming’s hand, “Hello grandpa, this is Cheng Yuan.”
• He did this in the blink of an eye, Bai Yong Ming only reacted after the phone was already snatched out of his hand, “Cheng Yuan, what do you think you are doing?”
• Master’s apathetic voice arose from the other end of the phone, “Let An Xiang take the call.”　　Cheng Yuan replied calmly, “Grandpa, I’m really sorry, An Xiang is not feeling well now and she can’t talk on the phone, not to mention leaving the house.”
• It felt like he slammed the gavel in a court.
• Everybody was dumbstruck by his words.
• In the past decades, nobody in the Bai Familydared to rebel against master, Cheng Yuan was the first person who did that.
• Bai Yong Ming did not expect Cheng Yuan to have the nerve to say this, he shouted, “Grandpa, don’t listen to him, Bai An Xiang is standing right here.”
• We’re done… Li Ning Juan was crying in her heart as she sat down on the couch in disbelief.
• But Cheng Yuan did not flinch.
• Master obviously heard Bai Yong Ming, he remained silent for a while.
• “Let’s talk this out.” Master said in a deep voice after a pause.
• It seemed like Cheng Yuan could imagine master change his posture to an upright sitting position and lift his chest in a dominant fashion.
• “Everyone is equal,” Cheng Yuan said nonchalantly, “all of them are your grandchildren, why are you so biased for some of them?”
• “Are you telling me to apologize?” Master asked.
• “No, I’m not in the place to,” Cheng Yuan said casually, “but there is right and wrong to everything, if you make a mistake, you should change your attitude and repent.”
• Cheng Yuan already made his point loud and clear and did not want to argue any further, so he hung up the phone right away.
• In the room, everyone else was still in a confused state.
• “How dare you talk to master like this?” Bai Yong Ming came back to his sense and laughed ironically, “Now I am curious to see how you and your family suffer in the end.”
• Li Ning Juan, who was helplessly slumping on the couch, joined in and shouted at Cheng Yuan, “Cheng Yuan, we have been paying for your living expenses and daily necessities all these years, when have we ever wronged you? What did we ever do to you that you want to frame us so badly?”
• Bai An Xiang quickly went to comfort her mother and pat her on the back.
• Suddenly, Bai Shi Ju, who had been staying silent started talking, “Stop it, start cleaning up the house so master doesn’t see the mess when he gets here.”
• “Why are we still cleaning up? We might as well just pack up and leave… Hang on.” Li Ning Juan paused, “What do you mean? Master is coming to our place?”
• Bai Shi Ju glanced at Cheng Yuan and smiled, “Perhaps.”
• Cheng Yuan was shocked when he noticed Bai Shi Ju’s glimpse.
• He had never seen the expression before, but it felt strangely striking. It was as if he saw a magnificient landscape in Bai Shi Ju’s eyes.
• The man who never retaliated to his shrewish wife, just like himself, when dealing with disputes, he would always try to compromise for a diplomatic solution. In this moment, Cheng Yuan started to believe that he was not a simple man.
• “Haha…” Bai Yong Ming laughed hysterically, “Are you guys crazy? With master’s status, you think he’d visit this run down place?”
• However, just half an hour later, a fleet of luxurious cars arrived at Bai Shi Ju’s house, it completely surprised Bai Yong Ming.
• It was not just Master Bai.
• All of the executives and board of directors in the Bai Corporation had arrived, including Bai Yong Ming’s father Bai Shi Pan.
• Bai Shi Ju lived in the forth floor, although it was not that high, it was not an easy task for the elderly Master Bai.
• Even with the support of others, master was panting heavily as he climbed up to the forth floor.
• Bai An Xiang’s father Bai Shi Ju quickly stepped up to hold master’s hands.
• When he saw the reticent son, master felt a sense of bitterness and sighed emotionally, “It’s been a while since I came here.”
• “Sixteen years and three months.” Bai Shi Ju replied.
• Master shuddered slightly as he staggerd to keep his balance, “The last time I came was when your mother passed away.”
• “Yeah.”
• When master entered the living area, Bai Yong Ming was still astounded, he asked in disbelief, “Grandpa, why would you come to a scruffy place like this?”
• Master glanced at him apathetically.
• Bai Yong Ming’s father Bai Shi Pan followed up by rebuking him, “Step aside.”
• Bai Yong Ming could not comprehend.
• His father said, “This was all thanks to your incompetence!”
• Cheng Yuan stood calmly in front of Bai An Xiang, when she wanted to greet the elders of the family, he stopped her.
• Master Bai saw everything he did.
• “I’ve misjudged you.”Master looked deeply into Cheng Yuan’s eyes.
• Cheng Yuan smiled without saying a word.
• “You think you can manipulate the old man with an agreement?” Master asked nonchalantly.
• Cheng Yuan shook his head, “It is the 80 million that comes with it.”
• “Humph!”
• Cheng Yuan continued, “And family.”
• “Huh?” Master raised his eyebrows, but appeared to have calmed down.
• “All of them are your descendants, some of them live in a detached house, but others live in a place like this; some hold managerial, supervisory or other essential positions in the company, but others had to be bullied and tormented as a normal staff.”
• Cheng Yuan asked, “Is this normal to you?”
• Master frowned as he heard this.
• “Not even outsiders can take it anymore.” Cheng Yuan continued.
• “What do you know?” Bai Yong Ming interrupted out of a sudden, “We hold essential positions because we are competent, Bai An Xiang can only be a normal staff due to her incapability!”
• “Is that so?” Cheng Yuan laughed, “If you are so competent, what are you doing here? Go ahead and settle the deal with Yue Liang Wan Estate, why are you looking for an incapable person?”
• “…”
