Chapter 831 - 824: Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands
The family dinner was quite harmonious, yet everyone felt as if something was missing. Bai Yiran knew it was the absence of Leng Yichen. Everyone seemed to deliberately avoid mentioning Leng Yichen, not wanting to face the topic directly.
The vast Leng Mansion felt unusually empty without the servants, which made Leng Liewei feel it even more. With everything that had happened, Leng Liewei began to cherish the feeling of having family around. Especially when he saw his adorable granddaughter, Leng Liewei didn’t want to part with Xiao Xi for even a moment. With his son not around, he found some solace in his granddaughter.
Now, only Luna was left at home, and since Luna had a very harmonious relationship with Bai Yiran, Leng Liewei asked Bai Yiran to bring the children and Sister Liu to move back in, allowing the family to look after each other. Otherwise, it was too exhausting for her to manage the children and the company by herself.
Without much thought, Bai Yiran agreed to Leng Liewei’s suggestion. The next day, she went home, packed a few things, and moved back with the children and Sister Liu.
With children, the large Leng Mansion came to life. The nursery and the baby playground in the yard that Leng Liewei had prepared for Xiao Xi finally became useful.
With the help of Leng Liewei and Luna, Bai Yiran felt more at ease about family matters, allowing her to concentrate more on the company.
On the third day after Leng Liewei was discharged from the hospital, Old Qi sent someone to Leng Mansion with a share transfer document signed by Qi Hui, returning the 15% shares to Leng Liewei. Therefore, Leng Liewei regained control of Huamei International’s shares. Bai Yiran didn’t take the 15% back, allowing Leng Liewei to keep them, and maintained his position as chairman of the board of Leng Lie Group.
In the office, Bai Yiran had just returned from a morning meeting when she received an invitation to a dinner party. Wang Wei happened to knock on the door and enter, seeing Bai Yiran holding the invitation thoughtfully.
"Where’s this invitation from?" Wang Wei asked, sitting opposite Bai Yiran.
Bai Yiran handed the invitation to Wang Wei, "Dingtian."
Wang Wei raised an eyebrow, "Does Dingtian still dare to send you an invitation? Have they forgotten about Chairman Liu’s birthday party incident? Besides, didn’t the chairman already completely reject their tripartite cooperation?"
Bai Yiran frowned, "Dad only rejected their tripartite cooperation, which doesn’t prevent Dingtian and Huamei International from having other project interactions."
Wang Wei nodded, "That’s true. So, what about the party tonight? Should I attend for you?"
"No." Bai Yiran shook her head, "It seems like this time, Dingtian is targeting me directly. The invitation is made out to me personally, and they even sent someone to deliver it to my hand. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to go in my place."
Since Bai Yiran took over Huamei International, there had been many speculations about her from the outside, most of which were not optimistic. Many people didn’t understand Bai Yiran, thinking she was just a woman who hid behind Leng Yichen, with little work experience. Moreover, since Bai Yiran took over the company, most of the dealings were done by Wang Wei, leading people to consider her incompetent and an easy target to gain more benefits from her in business dealings.
"Are you sure you’re okay?" Wang Wei was a bit worried. Should she face these men’s negotiations alone?
Bai Yiran smiled, "Do even you look down on me?"
"No!" Wang Wei quickly shook his head.
"It’s fine. You can only avoid it for so long. If they don’t see me, how will they be convinced?"
Bai Yiran clenched the invitation in her hand, a mischievous light flashing in her eyes.
Wang Wei sighed; it looks like someone’s going to have bad luck tonight.
