CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 73: THREAT

Bai Qiantong awkwardly began to massage Bai Yiran’s hand, "I’m sorry... I don’t know how I just fell asleep..."

"It’s okay..."

Bai Yiran looked at Bai Qiantong, her half-brother from the same father, actually, these two people looked nothing alike. Bai Yiran resembled her biological mother, Cheng Ting, more, while Bai Qiantong looked more like Gu Manli. So if they didn’t say, no one would think they were siblings. She remembered the first time when little Bai Qiantong shyly greeted Bai Yiran and wanted to hold her hand, but Bai Yiran pushed him away.

Over the years, Bai Qiantong had been very good to her, even better than to his biological sister Bai Qianyu. However, Bai Yiran had distanced herself coldly from him because Bai Qiantong was Gu Manli’s child!

Yet today, if it weren’t for Bai Qiantong, Bai Yiran might have really been doomed. If that pervert had really succeeded, Bai Yiran probably wouldn’t have survived. How would she face her family, how would she face Leng Yichen!

She never expected that Bai Qiantong, who appeared not particularly strong and had a feminine elegance about him, would become so powerful in his anger, pinning Mr. Kang, who was more than twice his weight, under him to beat him up!

For the first time, Bai Yiran looked at her brother squarely, "Thank you!"

Bai Qiantong’s beautiful face broke into a radiant smile; this was the first time he had heard Bai Yiran say thank you to him so tenderly, it was as if he had taken stimulants.

"Are you hungry? Want to eat something?" Bai Qiantong’s manner was like a child being praised, with bright eyes.

Bai Yiran nodded, "I am a bit hungry."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Wontons, I want to eat those fresh meat wontons with seaweed."

"Okay! I’ll go get some right away!"

After speaking, Bai Qiantong dashed out enthusiastically, turning back while running to say to Bai Yiran, "I’ll be back soon!"

"Okay!"

Bai Yiran smiled watching Bai Qiantong run out. This was their first harmonious interaction together.

Thinking about how she hadn’t contacted Leng Yichen, who would definitely contact her once he arrived at the destination, Bai Yiran found her phone and indeed saw a bunch of missed calls from Leng Yichen.

Just as Bai Yiran was about to call Leng Yichen back, her phone rang first.

It was Gu Manli calling.

Looking at Gu Manli’s number displayed, hatred spread through Bai Yiran like a virus; she had never hated anyone so much before!

The phone kept ringing persistently, Bai Yiran wanted to hear what Gu Manli wanted to say at this time!

"You dare call me!"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Gu Manli’s voice was calm and unruffled.

"I will never forgive you for today’s affairs!"

"What if you don’t forgive me? Report to the police to arrest me?" Gu Manli retorted.

"Do you think I wouldn’t?" Bai Yiran was surprised that Gu Manli didn’t care at all.

"Of course you wouldn’t! Not to mention whether you have evidence, just what I have in my hand is enough to make you not dare to do anything to me!"

"What do you have in your hand?" Bai Yiran thought it might just be Gu Manli trying to deceive her.

"Remember I mentioned having photos of your mother?"

"What did you say..."

Bai Yiran wanted to ask more, but Gu Manli had already hung up. Bai Yiran didn’t understand what Gu Manli meant by photos of her mother, but soon Bai Yiran received photos sent by Gu Manli.
