Bai Zhenkai was stunned on the spot.

Mu Yao sneered, shook off his hand, and went upstairs.

Mu Yao’s mother passed away less than half a year, but Bai Zhenkai already brought Shen Changqin and her daughter into the house.

More importantly, Bai Qiushui was younger than Mu Yao by less than half a year.

What else did Mu Yao not understand? Moreover, her husband cheated on her with Bai Qiushui.

“Let’s go, District Mayor.” The driver, Xiao Chen, drove the car over.

Bai Zhenkai glanced at the floor Mu Yao was on, sighed, and left.

Not long after his car left, a black Maybach drove in.

The car window rolled down.

Lu Jinchen’s cold and handsome side profile was revealed.

He looked at Bai Zhenkai’s car as it gradually disappeared into the distance, deep in thought.

Bai Zhenkai was Bai Qiushui’s father.

He was a respectable man in City A.

Why did he come to find Mu Yao?

He had seen Bai Zhenkai trying to hold Mu Yao’s hand, but Mu Yao had rejected him.

Song Group and Huan Sheng Group were the two companies with the highest odds of winning the Yuan Expo project.

Why was Bai Zhenkai looking for Mu Yao at this time?

…

When Bai Zhenkai returned home, Shen Changqin and Bai Qiushui had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Changqin heard the door open. She quickly motioned for her daughter to get up and welcome Bai Zhenkai.

“Dad, you’re back.” Bai Qiushui handed over a pair of slippers and called out.

“It’s rare to see you at home.” Bai Zhenkai stroked her hair lovingly.

“I have been too busy.” Bai Qiushui chuckled.

Shen Changqin took the briefcase from him.

“Did you drink today?”

“I drank a little.”

“Dad, the tea is ready.” Bai Qiushui quickly handed over a cup of tea.

Bai Zhenkai took a sip and motioned for the mother and daughter to sit down.

“I saw Yaoyao today.”

Bai Qiushui was shocked, but she immediately asked without changing her expression. “Really? Dad, where did you see her? How is my sister? Is she alright?”

Shen Changqin also asked, “Is Yaoyao doing well? Why didn’t she come home? I wonder how she’s been these past few years.”

“She’s working at the Song Group. She seems to be doing well. It’s just that she didn’t want to come back with me.” Bai Zhenkai leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly. He reached out and rubbed the space between his brows.

“We can’t rush this matter. Take it slowly.” Shen Changqin consoled him and quickly got up to massage his shoulders.

Bai Zhenkai grabbed her hand in return.

“Changqin, stop doing your stuff. I have something to tell you.”

Shen Changqin’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at her daughter.

Bai Qiushui’s face was pale, and she was nervous.

“If Yaoyao moves back, you must treat her better for my sake. I owe her for all these years, do you understand?” Bai Zhenkai did not notice the mother and daughter’s abnormality as he spoke with a heavy heart.

“I know, don’t worry.” Shen Changqin nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. “Yaoyao’s a stubborn child, but she’s not bad at heart.”

“And Qiushui, you too.” Bai Zhenkai turned around. “She’s your sister. She’s been away from the Bai family for many years and has suffered a lot. If she’s angry, she’ll vent it on you. Please don’t hold it against her.”

“Don’t worry, dad. I also hope that she can move back soon.” Bai Qiushui smiled.

When Shen Changqin heard this, she hesitated for a while and said, “What about Qiushui and Jinchen’s engagement ceremony? Lu Qing even called to ask in the morning. It’s been four years, and you know their relationship.”
