Chapter 16: He likes being controlled by her.

Meng Mingxuan knew about Bai Chan from her previous life when Mengyan Group’s computer system was attacked by hackers.

At that time, all the staff from the IT security department of Mengyan Group were deployed, but none of them were a match for the hacker.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Chan, an intern, stepped up and turned the tide in just half an hour.

Bai Chan became famous overnight.

Because she saved the company billions in losses, she was directly promoted to a permanent position the next day and became a member of Mengyan Group.

But such a top talent suddenly jumped to her death from Mengyan Group…

There had to be some hidden secrets behind this.

Meng Mingxuan watched Bai Chan walk out of the employee elevator with her head down. Thinking about the negative impact Bai Chan’s suicide had on Mengyan Group in her previous life, she immediately walked up to her.

“Bai Chan, long time no see! So, you work at Mengyan Group now?”

Meng Mingxuan feigned surprise as she grasped Bai Chan’s wrist and called out.

The department manager, who had just scolded Bai Chan, suddenly felt his legs go weak and nearly fell to his knees!

W-What?!

This intern, Bai Chan, is actually an acquaintance of the young lady?

Oh no, oh no, he’s done for!

And it’s going to be a terrible end!

Bai Chan shivered and looked up at the stunningly beautiful Meng Mingxuan.

“Y-Young lady?”

Although the young lady was a prominent figure at Lin University, and everyone recognized her, she and the young lady… weren’t acquaintances, right?

Had the young lady recognized the wrong person?

“Don’t call me young lady. We’re schoolmates! Just call me by my name,” Meng Mingxuan said warmly as she linked her arm with Bai Chan’s. “Come on, let’s go see my Ninth Brother, your General Manager Yan. A top talent like you is someone I must keep for my Ninth Brother!”

“Young lady…” Bai Chan, who was naturally introverted, was led into the exclusive elevator by Meng Mingxuan without even having the chance to resist.

It was only when the exclusive elevator started ascending that she remembered she had just taken a leave of absence because her mother was critically ill!

“Young lady, I… I need to go to the hospital… to see my mother…”

Gathering all her courage, Bai Chan finally said this to Meng Mingxuan.

She really needed to get to the hospital.

Otherwise, the Bai family would stop paying her mother’s medical bills.

“Your mother is sick?” Meng Mingxuan asked with concern.

No wonder the supervisor had scolded Bai Chan earlier for taking leave so often during her internship.

“Auntie…”

Bai Chan suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, almost bursting into tears.

Since childhood, she had heard her mother referred to with derogatory terms like “slut,” “fox spirit,” and “bitch.”

This was the first time someone had called her mother “Auntie.”

“It’s not that she’s sick… My mother was pushed down the stairs by someone and hit her head. She’s been in the ICU for over a month and hasn’t stabilized yet…”

Perhaps because of the warmth in Meng Mingxuan’s eyes, Bai Chan, who usually didn’t share her personal matters with outsiders, couldn’t help but reveal the truth.

Meng Mingxuan narrowed her eyes.

Was Bai Chan’s suicide in her previous life related to this incident?

Looking at Bai Chan’s attire… it seemed she wasn’t living well.

Meng Mingxuan had a plan in mind, so she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll have Ninth Brother arrange it to ensure your mother receives the best medical resources in Lincheng.”

Taking the first step to keep talent for Ninth Brother naturally required showing kindness.

Okay!

Bai Chan’s eyes widened.

W-What?

Before Bai Chan could recover from her shock, the elevator arrived.

Meng Mingxuan, with her arm linked with Bai Chan’s, quickly stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for the president’s office.

Thump!

Thump!

Bai Chan’s heart pounded.

If the young lady was telling the truth… then not only would her mother be saved, but she could also completely escape from that quagmire of the Bai family.

“Young lady.”

“Young lady.”

All the way, people greeted Meng Mingxuan.

And all the way, strange eyes fell on Bai Chan.

Bai Chan was still just a small intern, and she hadn’t become famous yet. The high-level executives around Yan Mo Jiu naturally didn’t know her.

They were probably wondering how this small employee had gained the favor of the young lady.

In the president’s office.

Nie Ziyang and the other two hadn’t left yet.

‘Ding-dong’—

The internal phone rang again, persistently.

“Ninth Brother, answer it. What if it’s something important?” Tang Jun said, looking at the phone that had been ringing several times.

Yan Mo Jiu’s thin lips pursed slightly.

Then, he raised his hand to answer the phone.

“Mr. Yan! The young lady is here. She entered the elevator five minutes ago…”

Yan Mo Jiu suddenly stood up.

Tang Jun was right, it was indeed important.

Yan Mo Jiu hung up the phone and strode towards the door—but the door was pushed open.

“Ninth Brother!”

As soon as Meng Mingxuan saw the man’s cold and handsome face, she immediately released Bai Chan’s arm and ran towards the man.

The sweet smile on her delicate face was genuine.

The string that had been taut in Yan Mo Jiu’s heart all morning relaxed.

His little rose hadn’t changed.

“Why are you at the company?” Yan Mo Jiu naturally put his arm around Meng Mingxuan in front of everyone.

His warm hand gently rested on her head, rubbing it.

“It was almost noon when I left the hospital, so I thought I’d come over and treat Ninth Brother to lunch. Otherwise, you’d just eat something quickly again,” Meng Mingxuan said with a look of “I’ve seen through you.”

“Yeah.” Yan Mo Jiu’s thin lips twitched slightly.

He liked being controlled by her.

Ideally, she would be his little housekeeper for life.

“Mingxuan, who is this young lady?” Nie Ziyang looked at the restrained girl at the door with interest. Anyone who could be brought to Ninth Brother by Meng Mingxuan must have something special about them.

Meng Mingxuan turned back to look at Bai Chan, who she had forgotten, and immediately smiled, releasing Yan Mo Jiu and walking to Bai Chan’s side.

“Ninth Brother, this is my university classmate, Bai Chan. She’s a computer genius, she’s amazing!”

Meng Mingxuan’s tone was full of pride.

Feeling the gazes of several people in the president’s office on her, Bai Chan unconsciously clenched her fingers, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

Yan Mo Jiu’s embrace was empty, and he was a little unhappy.

But seeing the anticipation in Meng Mingxuan’s bright eyes, he didn’t show it.

“Ninth Brother, Bai Chan’s mother was pushed down the stairs and hit her head. She’s in the ICU. Can you arrange for Bai Chan’s mother to receive the best medical resources in Lincheng?” Meng Mingxuan looked up slightly and pleaded.

“Lao Si, go arrange it.”

Yan Mo Jiu didn’t care about such a small matter.

The people his little rose wanted to protect naturally had privileges with him.

Except for men.

“Okay.” Feng Yilin stood up.

“Bai Chan, quickly thank…”

“Thank my Ninth Brother!” Meng Mingxuan shook Bai Chan’s arm.

“Th-Thank you, Mr. Y-Yan…” Bai Chan stammered nervously.

“Hmm.” Yan Mo Jiu glanced at Bai Chan indifferently, then gave Nie Ziyang a look.

Nie Ziyang smiled and gestured: Got it!

Anyone who suddenly appeared by the little princess’s side would be thoroughly investigated.

This Bai Chan was no exception.

“Miss Bai, come with me to the hospital.” Feng Yilin walked up to Bai Chan and smiled.

“Okay, th-thank you.” Bai Chan nodded quickly.

Meng Mingxuan pulled Bai Chan’s hand and smiled, “Don’t be nervous. His name is Feng Yilin, he’s a good person. You go to the hospital to visit your mother first. When her condition stabilizes, I’ll have Ninth Brother make you a permanent employee.”

Bai Chan bit her lip and said almost tremblingly, “Thank you, young lady. The medical expenses… I… I’ll write an IOU.”

She wouldn’t accept the young lady’s kindness for nothing.

She would do everything she could to repay the young lady.

“No need. Consider it an advance on your salary from Mengyan Group.” Meng Mingxuan winked, “Your value is far more than just these medical expenses, right?”

Bai Chan didn’t know why Meng Mingxuan trusted her so much, but she didn’t want to disappoint that trust.

“You’re right, young lady.” She nodded solemnly.

She would definitely create greater value for Mengyan Group!

After Feng Yilin left with Bai Chan, Meng Mingxuan took a deep breath and turned to Yan Mo Jiu.

“Ninth Brother! How many cigarettes did you smoke?!”

The office was full of smoke!

Didn’t he know he had chronic pharyngitis?

He still smoked so much.

Seeing the long-lost housekeeper look on the little girl’s face, Yan Mo Jiu coughed lightly.

“It was all Ziyang and the others who smoked.” He blamed it on them without any guilt.

Nie Ziyang: “???”

No, Ninth Brother, doesn’t your conscience hurt?

We were just accompanying you!
