Chapter 51: Snatching The Man She Fancied

Editor: Henyee Translations

Duan Xiuqi responded in an absentminded manner. “You can decide it as you please. I still have to return to the office to settle the matter about the withdrawal of Mo Yun’s endorsement. Uncle Li, please send Miss Yunrou back home.”

Uncle Li was the Tong Family’s driver.

Duan Xiuqi was rather surprised that Mo Yun had withdrawn his endorsement because due to this action, Mo Yun would have to compensate him under the contract.

In spite of the hefty sum of compensation, the other party was insisting on replacing him as the spokesperson. What was the underlying reason behind that decision?

Tong Yunrou tried her best to maintain her smile and went home with Uncle Li.

Uncle Li sighed and said, “Miss Yunrou, is everything that you’ve done, worth it?”

Tong Yunru replied unhesitantly. “It’s worth it!”

She started liking Duan Xiuqi when she was fourteen-years-old, and continued to do so till date when she was thirty-four. She had waited for him since her marriageable age until now, where even her niece, Tong Qingyan was already at the juncture of falling in love.

As long as Bai Chu did not return, she was confident of claiming the position of the Duan Family’s third madam!

It was all because of Bai Chu that had caused Tong Yunrou to hate the surname Bai. However, she had to admit that she was thankful for ‘Bai Chuwei’ who cured old man Duan. Now, Duan Xiuqi no longer had any reason to delay the wedding.

Uncle Li drove Tong Yunrou back to the villa and she stepped out of the car with her high heels.

Just as she was about to enter the hall, she saw a servant walking out aggressively, holding onto a pile of letters and walking towards the rubbish chute.

Tong Yunrou stopped her and asked. “What’s the matter?”

The servant said in anger, “Miss Yunrou, I guess you still don’t know about it. Since days, someone has been sending letters for repayment! Take a look at this, they sent it again today. Miss Qingyan ordered me to throw it away.”

A trace of irritation flashed past Tong Yunrou’s eyes. Who dared to rip off their Family?

They were considered to be a wealthy family in Sea City and moreover, she was about to marry into the Duan Family very soon. Who dared to be so arrogant with them!?

“Show it to me.”

Tong Yunrou took the letter and in an instant, her eyes shrank and turned white. She staggered and nearly fell on the ground.

The repayment letter was a print out and conveniently included a reminder saying ’29 days remaining’ on it.

There was a name signed on the lower right corner, Bai Chu.

Tong Yunrou knew that there were many people with the same name, but she had seen Bai Chu’s handwriting in the past and it was very unique. Therefore, she would never recognize it wrongly!

It was that woman’s signature for sure. Her intuition turned out to be accurate. Bai Chu had indeed returned!

Tong Yunrou became flustered and started trembling, holding the repayment letter in her hand.

Tong Qingyan came out of the room and saw Tong Yunrou’s strange expression. She said with a smile, “Aunt, don’t be frightened by this four hundred million claim. In the past, grandmother used to transfer three million to this person on account of their friendship. It was not an obligation. But now, she dares to chase us for payment. Does she honestly think that we are pushovers?”

While Tong Qingyan was speaking, a shy blush appeared on her pretty face and she said in a low voice, “The lawyers in the fourth young master’s company are so capable. Since she dared to blackmail us, we can sue her. We won’t lose.”

Tong Yunrou’s body suddenly staggered and she tightly gripped onto the repayment letter and murmured softly. “In the past, mother always transferred money to an account. So it was Bai Chu’s account?”

When she saw her niece nod in agreement, a trace of hatred flashed past Tong Qingyan’s eyes.

She had always heard that her mother, Chen Meihua made a fortune after she escaped from the mountains. Therefore, she would often offer grants for orphans to attend school.

It turned out that her mother had been transferring a huge sum of money to support Bai Chu all this while. Despite that, Bai Chu was not grateful and repaid kindness with ingratitude by snatching the man she fancied…

“She’s a hateful b*tch!”
