You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 109

His gaze landed on her injured hand. Taking her hands in his, the man’s pupils constricted as he blurted in shock, “What happened to your hand? Where’s your pinky?”

Bai Rong withdrew her hand calmly, “Paid for a mistake of mine. A pinky for waking me up towards the harsh reality; that’s worth it.”

“Was it Gu Tianhang? Su Zheng? Or Su Wanning? Who did it?” Su Xuyan guessed.

“No matter who did it, what’s done cannot be undone. I have matters to settle now. We’ll talk later.” Bai Rong walked past Su Xuyan and entered the lift.

As the lift closed before him, an expression of pain flashed across his usually cunning eyes.

He was married to Bai Rong for the past 3 years. At that time, all he could think of were different ways to harm her and pain her. Seeing her falling in despair gave him an elated sense of ecstasy, all because she was Xing Bachuan’s daughter.

But now, seeing how badly wounded she was, vexation began to surge within him.

He wanted to catch the culprit behind her injuries and chop off all ten of that person’s fingers.

To Su Xuyan, he was the only one with the right to do anything towards Bai Rong.

On the other hand, Bai Rong had arrived at Xing Bachuan’s office.

The man glared at his daughter with his hostile gaze while remaining on his seat and nudged at the seat opposite him with his chin.

Bai Rong went over to her seat coolly and sat across her father.

“So, you’re playing psychological warfare with me huh?” Xing Bachuan interrogated broodingly as he tried to read his daughter’s face. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Bai Rong smiled back bitterly. She was supposed to answer her father in two days’ time, but she happened to be kidnapped this week.

Throughout the two days, Xing Bachuan had guessed and calculated all sorts of possibilities and the ways to counter them. After all, he had no intention to recognize this illegitimate daughter of his.

But then, Bai Rong disappeared all of a sudden. No one could contact her, and no one knew where she was.

Being the suspicious man he was, Xing Bachuan was very worried that his daughter would end up working with his rivals.

The politician had many rivals throughout his career, hence he turned to spend most of his time figuring out who Bai Rong would likely go over to, and the possible outcomes of it.

His mind had run over so many types of scenarios and possibilities, especially when he recalled all his wrongdoings in the past. All these mind-boggling thoughts haunted him badly as fear and insecurity slowly ate up on him.

He had suffered from insomnia throughout those 7 days Bai Rong was missing.

After so many rounds of consideration, Xing Bachuan had finally reached the conclusion to have a strong partner rather than having a strong enemy.

“Then what’s the result of the battles in your mind?” Bai Rong asked back instead.

“I want to know your intentions of coming back. How do I know that you’ll not harm me, since I’m the one who harmed your mother last time?” Xing Bachuan stared at his daughter defensively.

“Bai Bing is my mother, and you’re my father. Both of you are my family. You may have harmed her, but she harmed me before too. If it weren’t for our neighbor, I would be murdered by Bai Bing back then. Life has been tough for me throughout the past few years. I’m crushed by the pressure from my work, my life, and also my unhappy marriage. I could hardly breathe under so much pressure! That’s why I crave for a better life. After much thinking, you’re the only one who can provide me that, so why will I harm you? I’m not foolish. Harming you is equivalent to harming myself. Not only will I not harm you, I will even try my best to help you. Dad, Jinnian is your daughter. So am I.” Bai Rong’s tone softened in the end.

“Fine.” Xing Bachuan was convinced now. “Your Aunt Chang has agreed to let you come back. But if you want to work in the CCDI then you have to pass the written test yourself. As for the face-to-face interview, I’ll put in a good word for you.”

“I will do my best to win this position.” Bai Rong stood up to take her leave.

“I’m warning you; don’t try to play tricks with me. I can provide you a good life, but I can destroy it as well.” Xing Bachuan warned.

“I’m going back to pack now. See you tonight, dad.” Bai Rong turned her back on her father coldly.

When she came out of the lift, she was surprised to see Su Xuyan still waiting for her. The girl approached him incredulously.

“Who chopped off your finger?” Su Xuyan asked sternly.

Bai Rong looked up at her serious looking ex-husband. She could see her reflection in his dark pupils.

“You want to avenge for me?” Bai Rong asked back.

Su Xuyan curled his lips into a dangerous smirk. “What do you think? No one can simply touch a single hair of my ex-wife.”

“Heh!” Bai Rong scoffed. She found it hard to believe that a man like him would avenge for her. Those were just sweet words to trick those naïve little girls. Unfortunately for him, she no longer belonged to that category.

“Su Wanning.” Bai Rong spat out the name and turned towards the main door.

“Didn’t you promise to treat me to a cup of coffee?” Su Xuyan yelled at her departing figure.

However, Bai Rong did not turn around to answer him.

Su Xuyan ran up to her and grabbed her arms in frustration. “You owe me 6 hours now. I demand that you have coffee with me.”

“Since when did I owe you 6 hours?” Bai Rong crossed her arms in reply.

The man frowned at her words; his eyes filled with displeasure. “Bai Rong, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to be forgetful?”

“Mr. Su, I don’t think I want to obey our verbal agreement now. I suddenly found it unnecessary for me to do so.” Bai Rong replied lazily.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll distribute Liu Yan’s video?” Su Xuyan warned as he eyed her with his sharp gaze.

Bai Rong merely shrugged in response.

“Do it then. Distribute to anywhere you want. Who knows if Liu Yan will end up as Mr. Shen’s wife? What a great honor for me to have a friend who’s the daughter-in-law of the commander-in-chief.” Bai

Rong grinned proudly instead.

“Shen Yiyan flirted with many women out there. You really want to push your friend into such hell?” Su Xuyan stared at Bai Rong anxiously. To him, Bai Rong was like a thorny rose. Beautiful and alluring, yet cuttingly edgy.

“And you think other men are not bearers of living hell?” Bai Rong retorted.

“Instead of going after men whose hearts always change with time, why not go after the unchanging power of control? You’re free to distribute the video.” Bai Rong said while getting closer to Su Xuyan.

The man couldn’t help but back off slightly from her. She was too cutting and thorny for him to be near her.

“Yan is a person who greatly detest evildoers. She may let you go if she ends up having a good life. However…” Bai Rong’s gaze turned sharp as she locked eyes with her ex-husband’s, “If her life turns out to be a disaster…. the commander-in-chief only has one son. Hence Liu Yan will be the First Lady of the nation sooner or later. Guess how she will revenge against you for all your wrongdoings?”

Su Xuyan went quiet at her words. He was no stranger to his ex-wife’s eloquence. Back then, he had always been greatly vexed and rendered speechless by her arguments.

But the Bai Rong before him now was not just eloquent. Despite her sharp and edgy words, the girl’s every gaze, expression and movement were mysteriously attractive and alluring to him now. The man was already drowned in her glistening orbs with no way to save himself.

Seeing that her ex-husband was not going to speak further, the girl turned around to leave. “I wish you good luck, Mr. Su.”

Su Xuyan stood rooted to the ground as the girl left. What should he do now? He was already regretting their divorce.

Bai Rong returned to Liu Yan’s house. The girl was still sitting on her sofa while staring ahead blankly.

The moment she saw her friend, the girl stood up and looked at Bai Rong worriedly.

Bai Rong was betting that Su Xuyan would not distribute Liu Yan’s recording. However, she had no idea what the outcome would be and how it would affect Liu Yan later on. She must stay away from her friend now to avoid getting her into trouble.

“I’m leaving.” Bai Rong uttered.

With reddened eyes, Liu Yan nodded. “Please be fine.”
