“Is anything the matter?” Yan Rusheng asked, looking at her .
Although her voice was bright, her expression showed that she was hesitant .
Yan Rusheng observed Bai Jing, waiting for her to speak .
“There’s something I hope you can help me with . ”
Finally, Bai Jing took a deep breath and spoke .
She had taken a difficult first step .
Yan Rusheng plainly said, “Let’s hear it . ”
Bai Jing continued, “Grand Prosperity Molds is bidding in Flourish & Prosper’s next…”
She stammered, her fists clenching harder . “The next… Next…”
“Bai Jing . ”
Yan Rusheng knew what she was going to say the moment she opened her mouth . He wanted to give her a chance to complete her sentence .
He knew that it must’ve taken her a lot of courage and so much hesitation .
But seeing how she was stammering and too embarrassed to continue, he decided to cut her off .
He said, “I’m not one who likes to be threatened . I know you had no choice but to come to me . Xuxu and I would definitely be willing to provide you with good learning platforms and opportunities if you wish, but…”
“I got it . ”
Bai Jing interrupted him before he could finish . She lifted her head and pressed her lips together in a tight smile .
Yan Rusheng smiled back, not saying a word .
Bai Jing smiled and said, “It’s fine . Third Brother, you should hurry . Third sister-in-law and Su Yue are waiting for you . ”
Yan Rusheng nodded and agreed . Then he walked off towards the main entrance .
He tucked his hands into his pockets, posture upright, and his steps were steady and confident .
His back view alone was already captivating .
Bai Jing stared after him as a man’s voice sounded from behind her .
“Your father saved his life, yet he refuses to help you . That’s too ungrateful of him . ”
To Bai Jing, this voice wasn’t foreign, but it wasn’t very familiar either .
She turned around and smiled at the man who had already approached her . “Professor Zhao . ”
“Bai Jing, I feel indignant for you . Your father saved him and it cost him his leg,” Zhao Zheng said, looking at her sympathetically . He continued, “He wasn’t even willing to do you a small favor . Even though I know little about the business industry, what’s impossible for Yan Rusheng?”
“It’s fortunate that my dad saved him,” Bai Jing said, evading the main point . Her smile didn’t falter, but her tone showed her obvious annoyance towards him .
Zhao Zheng’s expression faltered . His tone turned cold . “So what? He still doesn’t know how to show gratitude!”
When Bai Jing heard that he was bad-mouthing Yan Rusheng, her smile turned into a mocking one . “Professor Zhao, isn’t teaching your job?”
Zhao Zheng’s expression changed . He stared at her maliciously . “What do you mean by that?”
Bai Jing raised her eyebrows coolly . “Professor Zhao, could sowing discord be your past-time?”
She had already ignored all the times he had tried to sow discord on account that he was a teacher .
But she couldn’t hold it in any longer when he began to criticize Yan Rusheng .
In her eyes, Yan Rusheng was perfect .
Even if she could only admire him from afar .
