Chapter 1784: Chapter 1783: It’s Not That I Don’t Agree
Qiao Xiuyun widened her eyes in shock. Although she didn’t believe Meng Ke was such a person, Wen Ran’s words definitely weren’t baseless.
That is to say, Meng Ke is under suspicion.
“Ranran, didn’t you say it was Qin Mu’s friend who saved Qing Yang? What does he have to say?”
Wen Ran calmly replied, “Aunt Qiao, Qin Mu’s friend is a policeman. He was handling a case, so he went to Country M. By the time he arrived, Qing Yang was already hurt, so he doesn’t have any evidence either.”
“Aunt Qiao, you know people by their appearance but not their hearts. I know you really like Meng Ke and think he is a reliable man, but as it concerns Xiaoxiao’s lifelong happiness, I think we shouldn’t be too impulsive. What if there really is something with Meng Ke? Wouldn’t that harm Xiaoxiao?”
Qiao Xiuyun’s brows furrowed tightly.
Wen Ran’s words forced her to think deeply.
She does like Meng Ke, but the premise is that Meng Ke can make Xiaoxiao happy!
In the kitchen, Mr. Bai walked out. He might have overheard what Wen Ran just said and asked with concern, “Ranran, what were you talking about just now?”
“Uncle Bai, we were discussing Meng Ke.” Wen Ran responded gently.
Mr. Bai uttered an “oh” and came over to sit in front of the sofa, “What about Meng Ke? Is it about the incident today, where he saved your Aunt Qiao?”
Wen Ran smiled, “Well, not entirely. I just told Aunt Qiao that our Qing Yang went to Country M with Meng Ke and got shot there, nearly losing his life. Currently, there’s no evidence, but we can’t rule out that it might be related to Meng Ke…”
Wen Ran explained what she had said earlier in detail to Mr. Bai.
Compared to Mother Bai, Wen Ran felt that Mr. Bai was more rational and composed.
Sure enough, after listening to her, Mr. Bai’s face slightly darkened, and a sharp glint flashed in his wise eyes, “Ranran, back at the police station, Mo General said that today’s kidnapping of Xiuyun might have hidden truths. What do you think?”
Wen Ran hesitated for a moment and then spoke honestly, “Uncle Bai, since you’re asking, I’ll be straightforward.”
“Of course, I asked you because I wanted to hear the truth.”
Mr. Bai believed that this matter might really have nothing to do with Wu Jingfang; just her behavior at the police station showed that.
Having been in business for decades, he still had some ability to read people.
Wu Jingfang is a woman, a woman who acts on impulse over love, no matter how deep she usually appears.
When facing a rival in love, she would definitely struggle to control her emotions.
And after hearing about Meng Ke from Wen Ran just now, he instead felt that Meng Ke, who seemed gentle and honest, was actually deeply unfathomable.
A man without family backing, so young yet able to run a travel agency so successfully.
He definitely must have some means.
“We all feel that Aunt Qiao’s abduction is too coincidental.”
Mr. Bai smiled slightly and said to Qiao Xiuyun, “Xiuyun, why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a while? When the soup is ready, I’ll come upstairs to call you.”
Qiao Xiuyun felt a bit chaotic inside, said nothing, just nodded and went upstairs.
Wen Ran also blinked, guessing that Mr. Bai intentionally sent Mother Bai away because he had something to say.
“Xiaoxiao, your mother went upstairs. Are you now going to tell the truth, that you’ve been in contact with Luo Haofeng?”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed, just as she was about to deny, Mr. Bai continued, “Your mother and Luo Rongbin haven’t met for decades, so there’s no way they have any dealings, and the only reason he invited your mother to meet today must be related to you.”
“…”
Bai Xiaoxiao said nothing as she listened to her father calmly analyze, “Officer Lu said that Luo Rongbin and Wu Jingfang both received an unfamiliar call before coming to G City, whereas Luo Haofeng arrived before them. This suggests that Luo Haofeng came here possibly to meet you.”
“Dad.”
Bai Xiaoxiao awkwardly called out.
Wen Ran also looked at Mr. Bai in slight surprise.
They knew Mr. Bai wasn’t as easily fooled as Mother Bai.
Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao; when their eyes met, they understood the message in each other’s eyes.
Previously, Wen Ran had told Bai Xiaoxiao that if she wanted to have a successful relationship with Luo Haofeng, she needed the consent of both parents.
They had to start with Mr. Bai and Father Luo.
Now that Mr. Bai had revealed the secret of Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng’s affair, did it mean that the opportunity had arrived?
“You’re still not going to tell me?”
Mr. Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with a heavy gaze.
His stern demeanor was something Bai Xiaoxiao feared.
Unconsciously pursing her lips, Bai Xiaoxiao confessed, “Dad, I admit, I am in contact with Luo Haofeng.”
“Since when?”
Mr. Bai asked in a deep voice.
Bai Xiaoxiao folded her hands on her lap, “Since after I broke up with Meng Ke.”
“You still can’t forget about him, right?”
“Yes.”
“Even knowing your mother and his mother oppose you being together, you still want to see him. Is he the only one for you?”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale, “Dad, I don’t want to marry a man I don’t love.”
The implication was that Luo Haofeng was the only one.
Mr. Bai’s voice suddenly rose, “Xiaoxiao, do you know doing this will break your mother’s heart?”
“I, I know, but I can’t control myself.”
“So, you plan to spend your life with Luo Haofeng secretly.”
Mr. Bai, although he doted on his daughter, also cared about his wife’s feelings.
The grudges between Qiao Xiuyun and Wu Jingfang were not merely rivalries in love. If Bai Xiaoxiao was determined to continue her relationship with Luo Haofeng,
then it was likely that some secrets from back then might become common gossip.
Thinking of this, Mr. Bai’s face darkened another shade.
Bai Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and reached over to grab Mr. Bai’s rough hand, coyly saying, “Dad, you love me the most. You wouldn’t bear to let me marry someone I don’t love, right?”
“I told you before, if you don’t like Meng Ke, I can introduce you to other eligible young men. It’s impossible that there’s not a single good one.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly reddened, she lowered her gaze, and her lips pressed tightly together.
The aura surrounding her turned sorrowful all of a sudden.
Mr. Bai felt a pang in his heart at the sight.
Wen Ran hesitated for a moment, then gently spoke, “Uncle Bai, Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng truly love each other. Please let them be together. If Xiaoxiao marries a man she doesn’t love, she’ll never be happy.”
“It’s not that I disagree, but that I can’t agree.”
Mr. Bai sighed; this truly was a tragic fate.
“Uncle Bai, Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng love each other. Even if there are grudges from the previous generation, it shouldn’t be them who pay for it. Moreover, for Xiaoxiao’s happiness, why not try to resolve those enmities.”
Her brother and Bai Yiyi, weren’t they also defying the grudges of the previous generation and eventually ended up together?
