Chapter 218 : Old Lady Bai

Just as Ye Wanqing guessed, Bai Xuan soon could no longer stay in the Fu Group.

Every day when she arrived at the company, she was surrounded by strange looks and whispers from people around her.

“No one cares about Bai Xuan at the company now. How can she still come to work?”

“The CEO’s girlfriend was slandered by Bai Xuan, but she didn’t say a single harsh word. If it were me, I would have slapped her in the face!”

“I have to say, Miss Lu has a really good character and temper. No wonder President Fu dotes on her so much.”

“Some white lotuses can never compare to others in their lives. They still want to interfere in other people’s feelings, but they don’t even look in the mirror. Her face of a resentful woman is unlucky. How can she compare to half of Miss Lu?”

Lu Yunyao is pure and sweet. Even without makeup, her face has no blemishes and is as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg.

On the other hand, Bai Xuan relies entirely on makeup, but fine lines can still be seen at the corners of her eyes.

Maybe it’s because Bai Xuan has been infatuated with Mr. Fu for these years and has not had a happy life, so she has aged faster than most people.

Bai Xuan tried hard to block out the gossip.

She sat at her workstation, organizing her report, planning to find an opportunity to submit it to the president’s office later, perhaps giving her a chance to meet her senior.

As long as she showed up more in front of her senior brother, Bai Xuan believed that one day her senior brother would discover her good qualities.

But just as she took out the report she had written late at night, a cup of coffee was poured over her head, staining her report completely.

Bai Xuan’s eyes flashed with sternness, “What are you doing? Are you blind?”

The female colleague held the coffee cup and rolled her eyes in front of her.

“Miss Bai, please don’t mention ‘blind’ all the time. After all, some people can see with their eyes, but their hearts are blinded by lard. They are very bad!”

There was a burst of laughter all around.

They all know now that Miss Lu’s eyesight is not very good.

Bai Xuan relies on this to slander and bully others.

This is too abominable!

Bai Xuan’s chest heaved violently, and her face was filled with anger.

“You messed up my report like this, shouldn’t you apologize?”

“Excuse me, have you apologized to Miss Lu? Have you apologized to those colleagues you deceived?”

Bai Xuan was unable to answer the question from her female colleague.

She did nothing wrong, why should she apologize?

Bai Xuan pushed the female colleague in front of her away without any hesitation, “Get lost!”

Forget it, she won’t bother with these idiots and will just print a new copy.

The female colleague behind her reminded her maliciously: “By the way, the printer on our floor is broken, so you can only go downstairs to print.”

Bai Xuan had an ugly look on her face and angrily left the floor in her high heels.

…

Bai family.

Bai Xuan nestled in her grandmother’s arms, crying about the grievances she had faced recently.

“Grandma, I’m so sad. I’ve been working hard to keep up with my senior, but why doesn’t he see me at all?”

Grandma Bai comforted her, “That young man from the Fu family only has eyes for his career, he doesn’t get lost in love. Just like your grandfather, he’s a breath of fresh air in our circle.”

Bai Xuan bit her lip. “Who said that? Ever since he got together with that woman from the Lu family, she’s all he cares about!”

“Oh? Who told you that?”

“I saw it with my own eyes! He’s been delegating many unimportant tasks to his subordinates just to free up time to be with her!”

As she spoke about this, jealousy and frustration filled Bai Xuan’s eyes.

She had always thought her senior would remain alone at the pinnacle of success, and she would just quietly chase after him.

But how could he love someone else?

He was so decisive, so cold by nature—he was practically born to be a king!

What right did he have to bow down to that shameless woman and pamper her?

Lu Yunyao didn’t deserve him at all!

Grandma Bai’s wrinkles relaxed as she smiled.

“Grandma, what are you laughing about?”

“I just remembered that your grandfather once had a white moonlight in his heart, my own sister. He treated her so well and was determined to marry her.”

Bai Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “But I remember you were Grandpa’s first and only wife.”

“Yes, because your grandfather was a responsible and accountable man. Back then, when I unexpectedly had a close encounter with him and became pregnant with his child, even though he loved my sister, he still took on the responsibility of a man and married me.”

Bai Xuan’s eyes flickered. “What about your sister?”

“My sister…” Grandma Bai turned the Buddhist beads in her hands, speaking compassionately. “After I married your grandfather, she became disheartened and quickly married someone else.”

“Later, she was mistreated by her husband’s family and died young. What a pity.”

Bai Xuan lowered her head, lost in thought.

Grandma Bai’s aged hand brushed against her cheek. “Xuan’er, your eyes look just like mine , when I was young.”

Looking at Bai Xuan, Grandma Bai seemed to see her younger self.

Back then, she had felt the same jealousy and frustration when she saw Young Master Bai doting on her sister.

“Grandma…”

“Grandma wants to tell you that life is long. Some things may seem hopeless, but one day they could change dramatically. Some people may seem deeply in love with a woman, but who can predict the future?”

Bai Xuan wasn’t foolish; she could understand the implication in her grandmother’s words.

Back then, Grandpa adored Grandma’s sister, but in the end, he spent most of his life with Grandma, didn’t he?

Yes, who can say what the future holds?

Lu Yunyao is currently adored by Fu Sichan, but can she guarantee that this affection will last a lifetime?

“Xuan’er, I’m tired. You can go now.”

“Yes, Grandma, please rest well.”

Bai Xuan got up to leave. Before she went, she looked at her grandmother’s compassionate face and the Buddhist beads in her hands.

Grandma believed in Buddhism, and theoretically, she wouldn’t actively harm anyone.

But Bai Xuan couldn’t help but think… was it really just an accident when Grandma and Grandpa had that unexpected encounter, leading to her pregnancy?

She didn’t dare to think further.

Once back in her room, she locked the door and pondered for a long time.

Maybe she should take a different path.

Since she couldn’t win her senior’s heart for now, she could win him over physically.

If she became intimate with her senior, he would naturally pay more attention to her.

Moreover, if this were to come to light, it would certainly create a significant rift in Lu Yunyao and her senior’s relationship!

By then, while Lu Yunyao was cluelessly arguing with her senior every day, she could be the gentle one, drawing him deeper into her allure.

Was her charm really less than Lu Yunyao’s?

Lu Yunyao, don’t be too proud now.

Who knows who will win or lose in the future?
