202: Chapter 202: Chu Jingchen's Anger

Old Master Chu walked to the sofa and sat down. "I told you long ago that the girl Bai Li doesn't like you. Even if you moved the entire Chu family to her, she wouldn't give you a second look."

These words were blunt and very cruel.

Chu Jingchen's face was deathly pale, his fists clenched tight.

He abruptly raised his head, still wanting to argue: "Grandpa, I'm not reconciled..."

"Even if you're not reconciled, endure it for me." Old Master Chu interrupted him. "From today on, you stay in the villa; you're not allowed to go anywhere. Come out only when you've come to your senses."

"Grandpa!"

"Shut up!" Old Master Chu tapped his cane heavily on the ground. "If you dare cause any more trouble, I'll send you to the army to let you toughen up!"

Chu Jingchen didn't dare speak anymore. He had been pampered since childhood and couldn't bear the hardships of the army.

He knew his grandfather meant what he said.

Old Master Chu looked at Xiao Qingxuan: "Qingxuan, keep an eye on him these next few days. If he dares to take one step out of the villa, tell me immediately."

Xiao Qingxuan nodded: "I understand, Dad."

The old master glared at Chu Jingchen once more before getting up to leave.

Once the old master was far away, Chu Jingchen raised his head again, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

"Mom..." He looked at Xiao Qingxuan, his voice raspy. "Do I really... not have a single chance?"

Seeing her son's painful expression, Xiao Qingxuan felt distressed.

But she still shook her head: "Jingchen, let it go. Bai Li already has someone she likes. If you keep pestering her, it will only make her hate you more."

"But I'm not reconciled!" Chu Jingchen punched the wall. "I've watched over her for so many years. Why should some kid who appeared out of nowhere snatch her away!"

Xiao Qingxuan sighed.

She walked to her son's side and gently patted his back: "In matters of the heart, it's not about who came first. It's only about whether there is love or not."

Chu Jingchen was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his gaze cold: "Mom, help me investigate that Wang Chen. I want to see exactly what he's capable of."

Xiao Qingxuan's brow furrowed instantly: "Jingchen, your grandfather said..."

"I'll just investigate; I won't touch him." Chu Jingchen interrupted her. "At least let me know what kind of person I lost to."

Seeing her son's stubborn gaze, Xiao Qingxuan's heart eventually softened.

"Fine, I'll help you investigate. But you must promise me not to do anything foolish."

"I promise."

Chu Jingchen said it, but the ruthlessness in his eyes only grew stronger... Early the next morning, at the Bai Family Manor.

When Wang Chen woke up, Bai Li was no longer by his side.

By the time he finished washing up and went downstairs, he saw four large suitcases in the living room.

Bai Li and Xue Wanrong were standing nearby, checking their things.

"Mom, did you bring the sunscreen?"

"I brought it, three bottles."

"What about the swimsuits?"

"Brought three sets."

"And that face mask..."

Wang Chen looked at the pile of luggage, his mouth twitching.

Was this a vacation or a house move?

"Brother Chen, you're up!" Bai Li saw him and immediately ran over. "Look, Mom and I have finished packing our luggage!"

Wang Chen looked at the four oversized suitcases: "Did you two... pack your entire wardrobe inside?"

"No way!" Bai Li pouted. "These are all essentials, okay! The sun on the island is so harsh; how can we go without plenty of sunscreen? And clothes—changing three times a day, that's thirty outfits for ten days..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Wang Chen quickly interrupted her. "Bring it, bring it all. Bring whatever you want. Anyway, the plane is big enough to fit it."

"Hehe, I knew Brother Chen was the best." Bai Li stood on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Xue Wanrong watched from the side, her expression calm, but her fingers unconsciously twisted together.

Dragon and Tiger walked in and were also stunned when they saw the pile of luggage.

"Boss, are we... taking all of these?"

"Take it all." Wang Chen waved his hand. "Move them to the car."

"Yes."

Dragon signaled a few subordinates to move the luggage out.

Wang Chen checked the time; it was 8:30 AM.

"Let's go, it's time to head out."

The three of them walked out of the villa; Old Master Bai was already waiting at the door.

"Grandpa!" Bai Li ran over and hugged the old master. "We're leaving!"

"Go on, go on." The old master patted her head. "Once you're in Hangzhou City, listen to Xiao Chen and don't cause trouble for him."

"I know."

The old master looked at Xue Wanrong: "Wanrong, go out and have a good time, relax. Don't worry about things at home; I'll talk to Zhensheng."

"Thank you, Dad." Xue Wanrong nodded. "Please take care of yourself."

The old master looked at Wang Chen again and patted his shoulder: "Xiao Chen, I'm entrusting them to you."

"Grandpa Bai, don't worry."

After saying goodbye to the old master, the three of them got into the car.

The motorcade slowly drove out of the Bai Family Manor.

Xue Wanrong sat in the back seat, looking at the receding manor through the window, suddenly feeling a bit empty inside.

Now that they were leaving, she didn't know when they would return.

And... she stole a glance at Wang Chen in the passenger seat.

The car drove outside the manor and met up with Tiger's motorcade.

Xu Xiyuan, Lin Shuya, and the other two women were already waiting there.

Seeing Wang Chen's car arrive, Xu Xiyuan immediately got out and ran over.

"Brother Chen!"

Wang Chen got out of the car, and she threw herself directly into his arms.

"Did you miss me?" Wang Chen held her and asked with a smile.

"I did." Xu Xiyuan blushed. "I thought about you every day."

Bai Li also got out of the car. Seeing this, instead of being jealous, she giggled and leaned over: "Sister Yuanyuan, I missed you too!"

Only then did Xu Xiyuan notice Bai Li and Xue Wanrong. She quickly let go of Wang Chen, feeling a bit embarrassed: "A Li, Auntie, hello."

"Hello." Xue Wanrong nodded with a smile.

She sized up Xu Xiyuan.

A very beautiful girl with a gentle temperament and clear eyes; she looked like a good girl at a glance.

Were all the women around Wang Chen of such high quality?

That thought popped into Xue Wanrong's mind again, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Alright, everyone get in the cars. We're going to the airport." Wang Chen called out to everyone.

Lin Shuya and the other three girls also came over to say hello.

When they saw Xue Wanrong, the four girls were all stunned for a moment.

"This is..." Lin Shuya looked at Bai Li.

"My mom." Bai Li hugged Xue Wanrong's arm. "Beautiful, right? Doesn't she look like my sister?"

The four girls looked at each other.

She really did.

If Bai Li hadn't said it herself, they never would have believed they were mother and daughter.

"Auntie is so young..." Xia Mo couldn't help but exclaim.

Xue Wanrong was a bit embarrassed by the praise: "Not at all, I'm old."

"How are you old! You look twenty-five at most!"

"Exactly, standing with A Li, you look like sisters!"

The girls chattered away with their praise, and a faint blush appeared on Xue Wanrong's face.

Wang Chen watched from the side and suddenly felt that bringing Xue Wanrong along might have been the right choice.
