Chapter 542: Chapter 468: What is That Gu Shaojun Like? (Part 2)
’Gongsun Chongshan tested it on the spot with the Testing Stone: I have high-purity Dual Spirit Roots. As long as I’m diligent enough and get a little help from some Spirit Plants, my cultivation is guaranteed to advance by leaps and bounds... When that time comes, Gu Shaojun, we’ll see who’s really on top!’
Ever since they were young, his Ancient Martial Arts power had always surpassed that of the Gu family brothers. Bai Junfan was confident that as long as he found the right path, with time, he could still defeat Gu Shaojun just as he had in the past and grind him mercilessly under his heel!
Only that could release the foul, stifling anger buried deep in his heart.
Bai Junfan returned to the small courtyard to comfort Tang Yaxuan, then took her to the hospital to have her wound checked. Afterward, he patiently accompanied her home. Wu Xiaowen happened to have taken the day off and was resting at home. The two of them had already agreed on a cover story: at the home of one of Bai Junfan’s relatives, a table was accidentally knocked over, injuring Tang Yaxuan’s head and spilling red ink all over her, which explained her disheveled appearance. Wu Xiaowen was in a good mood and didn’t blame Tang Yaxuan, simply telling her to go to her room and change. Instead, she was incredibly warm toward Bai Junfan, pulling him to a seat, making tea, offering sweets, and chatting cheerfully. She even insisted he stay for lunch, but Bai Junfan politely declined. After Tang Yaxuan came out of her room, he stayed for a little while longer before making an excuse to leave. As he departed, he promised to come back in a couple of days to check on Xuanxuan’s injury.
The mother and daughter saw him to the top of the stairs. In her heart, Tang Yaxuan already saw Bai Junfan as her future husband and was reluctant to see him go. Looking at Bai Junfan reminded Wu Xiaowen of Bai Lihua, putting her in a joyous mood as she waved and told him to visit often. ’Just last night, after our wild time at the hotel, Bai Lihua got on his knees and proposed to me again,’ she mused. ’Even though I didn’t say yes, that sweet satisfaction was just too wonderful. What woman in the world doesn’t want to be valued and cherished? But I have to remember my mother, Lin Aizhen’s, words. I can’t be too impulsive right now. Between Tang Qingyun and Bai Lihua, I have to give Tang Qingyun a chance first. After all, we have two children together.’
’As for Bai Lihua... the love and affection I owe him in this life, I’ll be sure to repay him double in the next.’
’Since Bai Junfan is Bai Lihua’s nephew, I’ll treat him like my own and do my best to care for him.’
After leaving Wu Xiaowen’s home, Bai Junfan hailed a taxi and returned to the Bai Mansion. When he learned that Mr. Bai and Bai Lihua were talking in the study, he thought for a moment and decided not to disturb them. Instead, he turned and headed for a side courtyard, entering the Spiritual Acupoint House. He saw Bai Junjie sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, completely absorbed in his Cultivation. Bai Junfan paused, then turned and left. ’I really don’t like cultivating with everyone sitting in a row. I’ll just come back this afternoon.’
As the door closed, Bai Junjie’s eyes opened slightly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. ’I don’t like cultivating with other people either, but what can I do? I’m not the eldest grandson; I’m the second. When the eldest grandson is cultivating behind closed doors, no one is allowed to disturb him. But when the second grandson is in here, anyone can just walk in and out as they please! I’ve finally figured it out. When it comes to resources, if you don’t fight for them, there won’t be anything left for you!’
Since he wasn’t going to cultivate, Bai Junfan had no desire to go near Mr. Bai. ’Mr. Bai is in a bad mood, ready to explode at any moment,’ he thought. ’My second uncle is in there taking the heat, so I should just go take care of my own business.’
He went back to his room, changed his clothes, and headed to the garage. There, he surveyed the three cars parked side-by-side: one was for Bai Qingyue and other family members to use for outings, one was the car Bai Lihua had driven back, and the last was Mr. Bai’s personal car!
Bai Junfan reached out and gently stroked the roof of a gleaming black sedan. An image of Yang Liu’er’s face, as beautiful as a peach blossom, flashed through his mind. ’One minute she was dejected and heartbroken, and the next she was smiling so joyfully and sweetly. Was it because of the brand-new, gleaming car, or was it because of Gu Shaojun?’
’That brainless, shortsighted woman!’
Without a moment’s hesitation, Bai Junfan slid into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and backed out of the garage. Once on the road, he stepped on the gas, accelerating straight toward the company co-owned by Yang Liu’er and Lu Jianling.
However, Yang Liu’er was not at the office. Lu Jianling had gone down to the factory floor to do her rounds. The other employees didn’t recognize Bai Junfan, but when they heard he was a friend of Manager Yang, one of them kindly informed him that the manager had just called. She had said she was out discussing business and would be delayed by a few hours. Bai Junfan insisted on waiting for her, so the employee at the reception desk had no choice but to politely show him to a meeting room and serve him tea.
Just as Bai Junfan suspected, Yang Liu’er wasn’t discussing business at all. She was with Gu Shaojun.
Early that morning, Gu Shaojun had been passing through the area on business. He casually swept his Divine Sense over his surroundings and was surprised to discover Bai Junfan and Yang Liu’er standing by the side of the road, looking as if they were arguing. An idea came to him, and he had driven down that road, planning to find an opportunity to whisk the emotional Yang Liu’er away.
