Cheng Yajing's footsteps slowed down, but she did not directly answer. Instead, she indistinctly asked, "What do you think?"
Then, she left the room, and no one else could be seen.
Leaving Xiu Yilun standing in the office, he felt sad and depressed. Cheng Yajing's meaning was clear, she had become his friend because she was under the pressure of her family.
Other than that, there was nothing between them.
Xiu Yilun covered his head, not knowing what to do.
In the end, he still chose to pursue Cheng Yajing. This woman seemed to have already been deeply engraved into his heart, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remove the traces on her.
They clearly had the same face as Bai Zhixin, but their personalities were completely different. Perhaps it was Cheng Yajing's indifference and stubbornness that had attracted him?
He quickly arrived at the chairman's office and saw that Xiu’s father was busy handling official matters.
He walked over. "Dad, I have something important to ask you."
Xiu’s father seemed to be in no hurry. He raised his head, and his hair had a few strands of white hair. He asked, "What's wrong? He's so impatient and doesn't seem like a CEO at all. "
Xiu Yilun immediately slammed the table, "Let me ask you, has our Xiu Family been dealing with the Bai Family for the past few years?"
Xiu’s father was shocked. How did Yilun know? Could it be that the Bai Family had already told Xiu Yilun?
Old Master Bai was really a cunning old man, he pretended not to know anything, "Who are you listening to? It couldn't be hearsay, right? Our Xiu Family and the Bai Family have been friends for generations, and we have never had anything to do with the Bai Family. "
"Don't keep it from me, I already know. Zhixin just came to find me. She won't lie." Xiu Yilun looked at Xiu’s father and felt his heart ache. Why did his father want to do such a thing?
If Cheng Yajing was really together with him because of this, he felt that it wouldn't be love at all.
He didn't expect that Xiu’s father would scold Xiu Yilun instead, "You unfilial son, talking to your father like this just for a woman?"
Xiu Yilun also knew that his actions were wrong, but for Cheng Yajing's sake, he was willing to do anything, "Dad, that's not a woman, that's the woman I love, please don't target the Bai clan anymore, okay? "Promise me."
However, the Xiu’s father didn't waver. He smiled, "Yiran, all these years, if I didn't know that you and Zhixin are male and female friends, I would have already taken action against the Bai Family. Out of consideration for your friendship, I knew that our two families would get married at that time.
"You're still speaking up for the Bai Clan. Yiran, you really disappoint dad." Xiu’s father felt that Xiu Yilun was too indecisive. With his current state, he would destroy Xiu Family sooner or later.
Before he married Bai Zhixin into his family, he had already sided with the Bai Family at every turn. How could he not be disappointed?
"Dad, I just want to ask you, are you going to retreat and attack the Bai Clan?" Xiu Yilun directly asked.
Right at this time, the atmosphere in the office became tense, but Xiu’s father still opened his mouth, "Yi Lun, do you know what you are saying? If you retreat out of the attack on the Bai Family, do you think you would still be together with Bai Zhixin? Don't be silly. "
Xiu’s father had already investigated Bai Zhixin thoroughly. Ever since he lost his memories, Bai Zhixin and his son had only met a few times, and they had met on a regular basis. Bai Zhixin's heart had probably changed a long time ago.
Even if they had been friends before, now that they had lost their memories, everything would be for naught.
As Xiu Yilun listened to the Xiu’s father's words, he sank into deep thought. But in the end, he still sided with Cheng Yajing and tried to conceal the truth.
"Dad, you don't even know the feelings between Zhixin and I. I said this for her. She's worth it for me." Xiu Yilun was arguing with the Xiu’s father.
The Xiu’s father laughed, "Son, Zhixin has already lost her memories. Do you think I don't know? Even if there was someone in her heart now, that person would not be you. It would be Pei Chenjun. Only if our Xiu Family keeps suppressing the Bai Family will Bai Zhixin be able to marry you. "
"But these feelings are not true feelings at all." Xiu Yilun immediately retorted.
But his retorts were nothing in the Xiu’s father's heart, "You still don't understand, son, listening to father is not wrong, only by taking sides with us can you make Bai Zhixin willingly marry you. Otherwise, you won't get anything in the end, understand?"
Listening to Xiu’s father's words, to be honest, Xiu Yilun's heart slightly wavered, he once again sank into deep thought.
After a while, Xiu Yilun's mind was filled with the scene of Cheng Yajing and Pei Chenjun being together. No, he definitely would not let his beloved woman fall into another's embrace.
But once he thought about what Cheng Yajing had just said to him, if he really stood on his father's side, Cheng Yajing's heart would only grow more and more distant. He opened his mouth once again, "Father, I know your good intentions, but I really cannot do anything that would let Zhixin down."
His son was so stubborn, causing Xiu’s father to be angry, "Don't think that I don't know about Bai Zhixin. She's been living with Pei Chenjun all this time, do you really think we Xiu Family's people are idiots? You actually hid us, where is this Bai Zhixin? "
He did not expect his father to know even this, so he hurriedly explained to Cheng Yajing, "No, Dad, you misunderstood. Zhixin only came to Pei Chenjun's house for a contract.
"Yi Lun, if you don't stand on our side, then your mother and I won't agree to marry you and Bai Zhixin. After Xiu’s father finished speaking, he once again threw his head back into the large and small documents on the table.
Xiu Yilun stood by his side, at a loss of what to do. After thinking about it again and again, he nodded, "Okay, Dad, I promise you that I will stand by your side. But you must promise that you will definitely marry me and Zhixin.
"Of course, when the time comes, the Bai Clan will be the clan of our Xiu Family, so of course I wouldn't do such a foolish thing." Xiu’s father was finally a lot happier, and his face revealed an evil smile.
Just like this, the Xiu Family's suppression of the Bai Family not only did not lessen, it actually worsened.
Old Master Bai immediately understood that this Xiu Family was giving him a warning, telling him to quickly marry Zhi Xin to Xiu Yilun. At this moment, Old Master Bai was in his study room, furiously tapping his cane on the ground and saying, "Damn it, Xiu Family is too arrogant. I originally thought that Xiu Family was still very respectful to our Bai Family, but now it seems that they really do not care about friendship at all.
