Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Just Thinking About it Makes Me Feel Embarrassed for Bai Chu
Hearing this, Tong Yunrou was completely stunned and looked at the Duan Family patriarch anxiously, “Patriarch, what do you mean by this?”
The patriarch of the Duan Family felt some displeasure and glanced at her indifferently, “Just prepare your wedding with Xiuqi well; spare me any other little schemes.”
“Take this medicine back with you. The old man doesn’t need it now that I’m better.”
The Duan Family patriarch stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and headed towards the garden to continue fishing.
Tong Yunrou’s face was tense as she turned to the Butler with unease, “Butler, the patriarch is…?”
The Butler bowed slightly with a smile, “Miss Yunrou, just focus on preparing for the wedding. Once you are to enter the Duan family’s doors, you should know that the patriarch dislikes family members scheming.”
Seeing that Tong Yunrou still didn’t understand, the Butler reminded her before leaving, “You came alone today.”
The Duan Family patriarch had lived for decades and seen all sorts of storms. He saw right through Tong Yunrou’s little schemes.
Normally, Tong Yunrou was good to the Duan family members, like the last time she treated the patriarch’s illness, calling on the Divine Doctor Liu three times.
Her actions were merely to make a good impression in front of Duan Xiuqi. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel{f}ire.net
And this time, she came to bring Spiritual Medicine to the patriarch when Xiuqi wasn’t there. The fourth master went to work, and Young Master Xingye went to school.
The patriarch knew once he thought about it, that bringing him medicine was just a cover; Tong Yunrou had other purposes for visiting the Duan family.
This was someone about to marry into the Duan family, yet still engaging in scheming. It would be strange if the patriarch was happy about it.
Tong Yunrou felt truly embarrassed; she left the box of Spiritual Medicine behind and left dejectedly for home.
Although she had somewhat offended the patriarch, she also obtained some information. Bai Chuwei also had a heart condition.
Could it be a family inherited history?
Bai Chu had a heart condition, and Bai Chuwei had one too, yet the aunt and niece looked almost identical…
The more Tong Yunrou thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, her mind was a mess, a terrifying thought began to wildly ferment in her heart.
After Tong Yunrou drove back home, she happened to see the domestic workers organizing parcels.
Tong Yunrou seemed to remember something and asked, “Have there been any more demand notices delivered recently?”
The servant shook their head, “Ever since that countdown ended, we haven’t received any more.”
Bai Chu was indeed bizarre, declaring that the Tong family had one month to pay back four billion and actually sending demand notices for a month.
However, since the deadline passed, there had been no more.
Ever since surmising that Bai Chuwei also had a heart condition, Tong Yunrou felt somewhat uneasy.
Her older brother Tong Yunliang interjected with a mocking tone, “Yunrou, what are you afraid of her for? It’s just a demand notice. Could she turn the sky upside down?”
“Hasn’t a month passed? What about facing the consequences? Look, nothing happened at all. We of the Tong family are all well and fine, and we haven’t seen Bai Chu do anything.”
Tong Yunliang’s face ached from smiling as he mocked, “She probably just wanted to scare us, but it turns out our Tong family doesn’t fall for that trick; after all, we weren’t raised in fear!”
The surrounding servants laughed along at the comment.
Bai Chu really seemed like a joke, counting down for a month, and then nothing happened…
It was embarrassing even to think about her situation.
The unrest in Tong Yunrou’s heart grew wildly; she opened her mouth but before she could speak.
A phone call came, the urgent ringing echoing throughout the Tong family villa’s hall.
As soon as the phone was picked up, an anxious voice came through,
“President Tong, you need to hurry back to the company. There’s been a big problem! The Qi family’s enterprise is attacking our company!”
Tong Yunliang’s smiling face suddenly stiffened, his voice trembling, “What did you say? Which Qi family?”
It couldn’t be that Qi family he was thinking of…
