Lin Bai’s brows twitched. He recalled the incident with Yu Jinmo at the hotel. Although Yu Jinmo believed in his character, there would always be a knot between the two of them if there were too many coincidences.
He said to Lin Bai, “I know, I’ll take care of it.”
At this moment, Yu Jinmo’s message came.
“My dad said he’ll send me to school today! Do you want to meet my dad too?”
Lin Bai replied, “I haven’t seen Uncle Yu for a while. I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”
After saying that, Lin Bai got up and went to the bathroom to talk about his image. After confirming that there were no problems, he took a coat and was about to go out.
Luo Yang was playing with his computer. When he saw that Lin Bai was about to go out, he asked casually, “Boss, are you going out?”
Lin Bai replied, “Jinmo and her father are coming over. I’ll go to the school gate to pick them up.”
Luo Yang didn’t ask further after hearing that. He was once again immersed in the computer game.
Lin Bai walked from the boys’ dormitory to the main gate of the school for about ten minutes. When he reached the school gate, Yu Jinmo hadn’t arrived yet.
Because of Lin Bai’s image, many students who came in and out of the school were secretly watching him. Lin Bai was used to it. He still leaned against the wall and played with his phone with a calm expression.
“Lin Bai, you went back to school?”
Suddenly, Lin Bai heard a woman’s voice. He looked up and saw that it was Ling Xuewei’s mother.
She reached out her hand to pull Lin Bai and said, “When I looked for you last time, your classmates said that you took a leave of absence. I didn’t expect to see you here today!”
“Why didn’t you go to my house? Didn’t you say that my cooking was good? Let’s go! I’ll make you a good meal today!”
“Also, Xuewei misses you too!”
Lin Bai was pulled by Mrs. Ling, but his feet didn’t move at all. He said, “Auntie, I just went back to school on leave and missed a lot of classes. I’m waiting for my girlfriend to go to class with me at the school gate.”
“Also, I only have a working relationship with President Ling.”
When Ling heard that, she didn’t dare to do anything else. Her eyes rolled, she smiled and said, “Girlfriend? I haven’t met her yet! With such a good-looking girl like you, your girlfriend is probably not bad-looking either. This time, it’s just right for me to slap her in the face!”
Lin Bai didn’t say anything. He just lowered his head and sent a message to Yu Jinmo, asking, “Where are we?”
Mrs. Ling saw that Lin Bai was playing with his phone, so she quickly took out her phone and sent a text message to Ling Xuewei.
Ling Xuewei smiled bitterly after reading the text message. Only then did she know the reason why Mrs. Ling asked her to bring her here.
Lin Bai’s school was nearby, and she knew what Mrs. Ling was planning.
It was just that Mrs. Ling’s recent overly “warm” care and moral threats had made her too tired. She didn’t even want to pay attention to this matter.
However, to Ling Xuewei’s surprise, Lin Bai also sent a message to her.
“President Ling, your mother is at the gate of my school.”
A paragraph of text seemed to be meaningless, but Ling Xuewei sensed that Lin Bai was unhappy. She took a deep breath, stood up, went downstairs, and drove out of the door.
She was also vaguely looking forward to meeting Lin Bai again.
When Lin Bai saw Ling Xuewei, he found that Ling Xuewei’s mental state was very tired, and this kind of exhaustion actually came from her mother.
“Mom, why are you here?” Ling Xuewei glanced at Lin Bai and said apologetically, “Chief Lin, I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
Lin Bai smiled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a Rolls-Royce stopped beside Lin Bai.
After the car window rolled down, Lin Bai saw Yu Jinmo’s youthful smiling face.
She waved her hand and said, “Lin Bai! Huh? Chief Lin, you’re here too? Have you recovered from your injury last time?”
Ling Xuewei smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern. I’m much better now.”
Mrs. Ling looked at the Rolls-Royce and rolled her eyes. She did not know what kind of car this was, but she could guess that the person in the car was not simple.
Thus, she pulled Lin Bai affectionately and asked, “Little Lin, is this your girlfriend?”
Lin Bai avoided Mrs. Ling’s pull without a trace. He went forward and opened the car door. After Yu Jinmo got out of the car, he smiled and said, “Mrs. Ling, this is my girlfriend.”
Mrs. Ling did not hide her picky eyes as she sized up Yu Jinmo.
In her eyes, not only was her daughter mature and knowledgeable, but the company was also very valuable. She was not at a disadvantage against Yu Jinmo.
However, just as she was about to speak, a man with a strong aura also got out of the car door on the other side.
He looked at Lin Bai and asked, “Lin Bai, aren’t you going to introduce these two to me?”
Yu Jianhao had only wanted to send Yu Jinmo off before returning to the company after exchanging a few words with Lin Bai. He didn’t expect to see this scene at the school gate.
Thinking of the risk of his daughter’s boyfriend being snatched away and being afraid that Lin Bai’s young mind wasn’t firm, Yu Jianhao got out of the car and said these words.
Lin Bai didn’t feel guilty at all and said, “Uncle Yu, this is President Ling from Phoenix Real Estate. The villa complex was entrusted to her family for sale. This is President Ling’s mother.”
Yu Jianhao walked over and looked at Ling Xuewei. He nodded and said, “I’ve heard of Phoenix. President Ling is young and promising.”
Ling Xuewei felt even more bitter at this moment.
The glimmer of hope in her heart was completely extinged.
How could she compare to the daughter of the Yu Corporation?
Ling Xuewei straightened her expression and said with a slightly normal expression, “Compared to the Yu Corporation, I’m still far from it.”
After saying that, Ling Xuewei added, “President Yu, you’re my role model.”
Yu Jianhao turned his head slightly and looked at Yu Jinmo and Lin Bai. “What are you still standing there for? Go to class. I have to go back to the office.”
After saying that, Yu Jianhao nodded slightly at Ling Xuewei and turned around to get into the car.
Lin Bai also pulled Yu Jinmo and said to Mrs. Ling with a smile, “Auntie, we’re going to class.”
Ling Xuewei’s mother was still cowering under Yu Jianhao’s aura and didn’t dare to speak. She didn’t have the slightest reaction to Lin Bai’s words.
Only after everyone left did Ling Xuewei come back to her senses. She gulped and asked Ling Xuewei, “Who is that person?”
Ling Xuewei said expressionlessly, “The richest person in this city, the head of the Yu Corporation, Yu Jianhao, President Yu.”
Mrs. Ling’s body trembled, and she asked in a trembling voice, “The richest person?”
Ling Xuewei did not answer.
Mrs. Ling came back to her senses, grabbed Ling Xuewei, and said excitedly, “I was right. Lin Bai is an oanding person! I told you to do it earlier, but you didn’t listen. What do you think? Are you regretting now? Such a good child…”
“Mom,”Ling Xuewei turned to look at the chattering ling and said expressionlessly, “Lin Bai and I… are just professional.”
This was the first time that Mrs. Ling felt the same aura as Yu Jianhao from Ling Xuewei. Her heart skipped a beat as she knew that she had pushed her too hard, which made Ling Xuewei unhappy.
Although the mother-daughter relationship was close, it was easy for Mrs. Ling to form some bad habits.
For example, familial kidnapping.
Mrs. Ling pursed her lips and stood where she was, saying, “Isn’t it for your own good? Who are you trying to show off to like this? If you dislike me, I’ll leave right now! I’ll live the life of a vagrant and beggar in the past!”
But this time, Ling Xuewei did not show any mercy as she turned around and opened the car door to start the engine. Then, she said, “Mama, I have something to do at the company. You can take a taxi back.”
