Chapter 128 Not everyone is as calculating as you
Bai Yi looked at the person eating across from him, who was eating like chewing wax, and asked, "Are the dishes here not to your liking?"
"No, the food tastes good, but I don't have much appetite." Ning Yuechen said casually.
"Since you don't have much appetite, don't force yourself to eat."
Bai Yi picked up the hot towel on the table and wiped his hands: "Let's go."
Ning Yuechen looked at the table full of delicious food that had hardly been touched. His heart bleeds when he thought about the hundreds of thousands of silver dollars that had been wasted.
Evil capitalists who waste food!
Seeing that she clearly didn't want to eat but was still staring at the food on the table, Bai Yi couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
Ning Yuechen looked up at her, sighed deeply in his heart and said, "I suddenly have an appetite again. Let's go back after we finish eating."
Faced with her somewhat inexplicable behavior, Bai Yi did not ask any more questions and only responded with a "Okay."
The two picked up their cutlery again and started eating.
Ning Yuechen had just finished eating the steak when he heard the person opposite him say, "Don't do other part-time jobs after the start of your sophomore year. I will have the housekeeper transfer 1 million yuan to your account every month for living expenses. Just focus on your studies at school. If you have extra energy, you can participate in more meaningful academic activities, make some investments, or go out for fun."
Ning Yuechen's men paused and said, "I have no relationship with the Bai family now, not to mention the sky-high living expenses every month. I have no reason to accept your kindness."
After working with Bai Yi for a month, Ning Yuechen had learned a little bit of how to speak, so he didn't refuse directly like before.
She thought about her words in her mind and continued, "I am just an ordinary person. I have stayed in your house for more than ten years under the care of Aunt Deshi, which has caused you a lot of trouble and distress. But all the grievances between us were completely ended a year ago. I think you should be more aware of this."
After all, it was this person who drove her out of the Bai family, and it was she who said she would never see her again.
Ning Yuechen looked at Bai Yi fearlessly, and said in a steady tone: "Now I have just returned to my original identity. I also like being able to support myself and enjoy my current life. Therefore, Mr. Bai, please don't worry about my future life."
Bai Yi took a sip of red wine slowly and leisurely, a smile flickering across her delicate red lips, finally landing on her beautiful and extremely pure amber eyes.
It was not until the other person felt a chill on his back from being stared at by her that she slowly spoke: "Ning Yuechen, have you ever thought that only by returning to the Bai family can you achieve what you want and protect the people you want to protect."
Ning Yuechen was stunned, and then he continued, "Based on your current savings, you can live a wealthy life instead of working part-time jobs everywhere. You have so many hobbies that can be developed in a professional direction, such as figure skating, painting, and flower arranging. But these are not included in your future career plan. You obviously hate the Bai family and don't want to have anything to do with me anymore, but you still choose to work in the company just to make more money."
Bai Yi leisurely poured himself a glass of red wine. "Your current life goal is very clear, to earn enough money, or to redeem the capital of Shiying Media, and then return Shi Yu's original career to her. But the direction you are working towards is too long-term and naive."
"Because the prerequisite for you to complete this step is to defeat me first. But how confident and confident are you that you can become an equal opponent to me? And take back what you want from me?"
Ning Yuechen fell into deep thought because of her words. After a long while, she asked, "You investigated me?"
Otherwise how would this person know her savings.
"For a white face like yours that has everything written all over it, I don't need to waste time waiting for the results of the investigation. I can guess the whole picture with just a little analysis."
Ning Yuechen pursed his lips tightly, his eyes revealing an unyielding stubbornness: "You know what I'm thinking, so I can naturally guess what you're planning. The reason you've tried so hard to get me back to the Bai family is just because you want to use me to get the benefits you want from Aunt Wen."
As she spoke, a hint of mockery appeared on her face: "You kicked me out of the Bai family before because my existence threatened your position, or you couldn't tolerate me. Now you offer various conditions to invite me back because I am not only no longer a threat to you, but I can also bring you greater value."
"Bai Yi, you really are worthy of being Bai Jingyuan's daughter! You always know how to use people's hearts to gain the greatest benefit for yourself."
This was the first time Ning Yuechen called Bai Yi by his full name after they met again.
Bai Yi just smiled at her words and said, "Ning Yuechen, with your current wisdom and experience, it is impossible for you to see through my mind. Although you are not stupid, you lose because of your simplicity. You are not stupid, you are just childish and ridiculous."
Ning Yuechen glared at her fiercely, wishing she could bite this person to death. She really hated Bai Yi's condescending, strategic smile.
She couldn't argue with this person, so she chose the most direct way of rejection: "I won't go back to the Bai family with you, and I will live my own life. I don't need you to judge me."
Bai Yi glanced at her calmly: "You can leave by yourself, but do you have a choice? Or can Shi Yu wait for you that long?"
Ning Yuechen looked at her in shock, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "What do you mean? What happened to Aunt Shi?"
Knowing that she had misunderstood him, Bai Yi explained, "She's fine, but you also know that Shi Yu's health has not been very good, and the main cause of her illness is depression. You hope that she can resume her career, but if she relies solely on your own ability, it will take at least 20 years. By then, will she be able to understand and adapt to this industry that is developing at a rapid pace?"
Ning Yuechen suddenly felt a deep sense of despair in his heart.
Because she found that not only was what the other party said very right, but he also laid out all the realities that she had not considered nakedly in front of her, making her realize more deeply her own incompetence.
After a moment of silence, she said calmly: "Bai Yi, let's talk frankly. What do you want from me? Or we can make a fair deal."
Bai Yi looked at her deeply: "Ning Yuechen, you don't have the bargaining chips and qualifications to negotiate with me, but I can help you get everything you want, provided that you return to the Bai family, it's that simple."
Ning Yuechen was upset and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was hit back by the other party with a light remark.
"The Wen family is not something you can use to negotiate with me. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to help you silently behind your back when you were in trouble. The reason is very simple. Although the Wen family has reached its peak of power and does not have to worry about other families, they will not stand against the Bai family for you."
Bai Yi drank the red wine in the glass. "Boss Wen would never publicly come forward for the child of an old friend like you before, and he will not cooperate with the Bai family for you in the future. In the final analysis, the best help they can provide you is just material support."
Ning Yuechen stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "Boss Bai, I think you misunderstood what I meant just now. Not everyone is as calculating as you! But since you said so, please keep your promise in the future!"
She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said, "I'm full, goodbye," and left resolutely.
