Chapter 319 - You’d Be Better Off Being Merciful Than To Dwell On The Mistake Any Further!
Bai Shixun often visited the Mu Family, that was why he was very familiar with the environment.
Without waiting for Butler Chen’s response, he went upstairs.
On the other hand, the women in the reception room heard footsteps approaching from the door.
Then, Fang Ziqian’s expression changed immediately. “Oh no! Why is my boss here?!”
Luo Chenxi was a little surprised as well, but she quickly reacted. “He’s probably here because of Bai Xinxin. Qian Qian…”
Before she could finish, Fang Ziqian had already jumped up from her seat. “Oh no, I have to find a place to hide!”
‘Ever since Bai Shixun caught me at the last runway show, he hasn’t even gone to a single bar. Instead, he would watch me work everyday and wouldn’t approve my leaves.
‘In fact, even the human resources manager has been warned by him.
‘Yesterday, I heard that Bai Shixun had something to do that morning and couldn’t come to the company, so I took the opportunity to skip work.
‘However, I didn’t know that Bai Shixun’s so-called “something to do” was actually the same thing as mine. We’re both here to see Luo Chenxi!’
“Wait, Qian Qian…”
Luo Chenxi wanted to hold her back, but Fang Ziqian immediately scurried behind the sofa, squatted down and even signaled for Luo Chenxi to remain quiet.
Before Luo Chenxi could say anything, the door was already pushed open.
“Luo Chenxin, how… How did you…”
Bai Shixun was stunned when he saw that there was already someone in the reception room.
Luo Chenxi quickly gave a dry laugh and explained casually, “Ahem, I saw that this room was quieter, so I planned to sit here and read for a while. Second Young Master Bai, why have you suddenly come here? Yichen isn’t at home today…”
“I know,” Bai Shixun replied in a deep voice.
In the next second, an exquisite gift box appeared in front of Luo Chenxi.
“Miss Luo, I came here especially to look for you today. I want to apologize to you on behalf of my sister.”
Bai Shixun had already seen the surveillance footage of the fire.
Therefore, the blatant truth was placed right in front of him. ‘No matter what, the Bai Family is in the wrong.’
Not only did Mu Yichen refuse to let Bai Xinxin go, Bai Shixun was also unable to locate where Bai Xinxin had been locked up.
After thinking about it, he could only make a move on Luo Chenxi.
Then, he cleared his throat and sincerely said, “Miss Luo, I already know what happened that day. I’m very sorry that my sister had such a devious idea and almost caused your death in the sea of fire. On behalf of the entire Bai Family, I apologize. Here’s a small gesture, although it can’t make up for the harm you’ve suffered, it’s a small token of the Bai Family’s gratitude.”
Luo Chenxi was stunned for a moment.
‘I hadn’t expected for Bai Shixun to be so polite.
‘In the past, Second Young Master Bai had been giving me quite the stink eye every time he saw me. Furthermore, he’d spare no effort to ridicule and scorn me. Even in front of Mu Yichen, he wouldn’t say anything nice to me.
‘But now, he’s suddenly being so nice to me…
‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world.’
Luo Chenxi thought for a moment before she said, “Young Master Bai, you’re too polite. What happened that day is already over. Even if Bai Xinxin is at fault, she’s the only one to be blamed. Plus, Yichen will never hold a grudge against the Bai Family because of such a small matter. Don’t worry.”
Bai Shixun paused and said again, “Miss Luo, if your anger has subsided, could you ask Yichen to release my sister on my behalf?”
Luo Chenxi couldn’t help but frown.
“Second Young Master Bai, to be honest, I’ve just found out that Bai Xinxin has been locked up by Yichen just yesterday. Plus, he wouldn’t listen to me about this kind of thing, so It’d be useless even if I told him to. You’re Yichen’s childhood friend, why don’t you go to him directly?”
‘I’m no Saint Mary. Bai Xinxin almost killed me, yet I’ve still got to beg for mercy on her behalf?
‘That’s impossible.’
Bai Shixun pursed his lips, “I do know I’m forcing you to do the impossible. However, Miss Luo, you must know that the relationship between the Bai Family and the Mu Family is being placed right here and you’re still going to have to meet us in the future. Furthermore, based on your family background, it will not be easy for you to hold onto the position of Young Madam Mu. So, offending the Bai Family any further will not do you any good. You’d be better off being merciful than to dwell on the mistake any further!” said Bai Shixun, whose tone had now become heavier.
He planned to take advantage of Mu Yichen’s absence and force Luo Chenxi to give in.
Then, Luo Chenxi’s face darkened.
However, before Luo Chenxi was able to speak, an angry voice came from behind the sofa.
“Bai Shixun, are you really that shameless? It was clearly your sister who almost killed someone. How dare you even think of threatening the victim?”
