CHAPTER 490: CHAPTER 490 WHAT TO SAY

But he had nothing to do with Qian Dongcheng, and even had some disagreements with his grandson, so he didn’t know what to say!

Although Qian Dongcheng didn’t say anything, Qian Xinxin seized on Zhang Dadan’s words and shouted, "Can’t you choose your words better? Is this your house? Do you really need to greet us?"

"Xinxin, don’t be rude! Divine Doctor Zhang is from a mountain village. He’s already very considerate to say things like this!" Qian Dongcheng said with hidden sarcasm.

Seeing that he came with ill intentions, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but furrow his brows and stared at Qian Xinxin, making him feel uneasy.

Noticing his grandson’s discomfort, Qian Dongcheng quickly cursed, "What? You old thing, aren’t you going to invite us to sit?"

"You old thing, are you blind? Who’s stopping you from sitting? Do you expect me to carry you?" Although Bai Lexin was also somewhat displeased, he was reluctant to turn things ugly.

Once everyone was seated, Qian Dongcheng glanced at Zhang Dadan and sneered, "Divine Doctor Zhang, your business seems quite extensive, huh?"

His repeated insinuations and indirect scolding finally made Bai Lexin unable to bear it any longer. He scolded, "Old thing! What are you doing? Coming here looking for trouble?"

Qian Dongcheng had originally brought his grandson to confront them, and seeing Zhang Dadan there made him even more unrestrained.

"Old Bai, you might not know this, but this Divine Doctor Zhang has really cozied up to Mr. Sunx!" Qian Dongcheng mocked.

Even Bai Lexin was shocked to hear this, as he was under Elder Mu and knew well about the conflicts and competition between the Mu Family and Sunx Family.

In his view, since Zhang Dadan was treating Elder Mu, he should belong to Elder Mu’s camp and should never treat the ’enemy’s’ illness.

"Dadan, what’s going on? Why haven’t I heard you mention this before?" Bai Lexin asked cautiously.

Before treating Sunx Jingong, Zhang Dadan had already promised Mu Zhuangfei to keep things confidential and wouldn’t explain to outsiders.

"I did treat Mr. Sunx, so what? Is there a problem?" Zhang Dadan said righteously. Had he committed a sin by treating people?

However, upon hearing this, Bai Lexin sighed and glanced at Zhang Dadan, wanting to speak but stopping.

Seeing Bai Lexin a bit disappointed with Zhang Dadan, Qian Xinxin reprimanded, "What’s wrong? Isn’t this betraying Grandpa Mu?"

Although Zhang Dadan knew their relationship with the Mu Family, he didn’t expect them to be even more intense than Mu Zhuangfei.

Even so, Qian Xinxin, you bastard, what right do you have to criticize me? I just treated Elder Mu, I didn’t sell myself to him, nor did I receive any excessive favors from him.

But you and your Qian Family are different. Isn’t your relationship with the Mu Family more like that of master and servant?

"Mr. Qian, if I remember correctly, during Elder Mu’s birthday, you and Sunx Liancheng were pretty chummy!" Zhang Dadan exposed.

Sure enough, the Qian family grandfather and grandson felt embarrassed upon hearing Sunx Liancheng’s name, and Qian Dongcheng’s face twitched several times.

Smelling the gunpowder, Bai Lexin quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright...alright...let’s not talk about this anymore. Old Qian, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Dongcheng also withdrew his anger and embarrassment, smiled awkwardly, and replied, "It’s nothing major!"

"It’s just that Xinxin and Bai Jie are supposed to get engaged around the New Year, but they’ve not been in contact. I wondered if there’s some misunderstanding here?"

Hearing his grandfather mention Bai Jie, Qian Xinxin quickly complained, "Grandpa Bai, Bai Jie has been ignoring me lately! Did she make some bad friends?"

While speaking, he occasionally glanced at Zhang Dadan, implying that it was Zhang Dadan who led Bai Jie astray.

As Qian Xinxin was pleased with his two birds with one stone strategy, Bai Jie’s voice came from upstairs.

"I did make friends, so what? What business is it of yours?" Bai Jie shouted unceremoniously from the second-floor corridor.

Her rude behavior made Bai Lexin slightly embarrassed. He apologized to Qian Dongcheng, "Old Qian, she’s been in a lousy mood these past couple of days. Please don’t take her words to heart!"

Although Qian Dongcheng came to confront them, he had no leverage. First, Bai Jie’s family business was not inferior to theirs.

Secondly, Qian Dongcheng saw his grandson’s engagement to Bai Jie as an opportunity to annex the Bai Family. How could he blame Bai Jie?

If Bai Jie really acted out and refused to marry his grandson, wouldn’t his plan to annex the Bai Family be ruined?

"Kids, it’s normal for them to have some squabbles!" Qian Dongcheng replied kindly, the complete opposite of his earlier attitude.

Bai Jie glanced at Qian Xinxin, then slowly descended the stairs to stand beside Zhang Dadan, questioning, "Qian Xinxin, why are you here?"

Seeing her bypass him to stand next to Zhang Dadan, Qian Xinxin’s jealousy flared, and he was infuriated.

"Bai Jie, I’m your fiancé. Can’t I come to see you?" Qian Xinxin shouted.

"Xinxin! What are you doing? Can’t you speak a bit more softly?" Qian Dongcheng glared at his grandson and quickly stopped him.

Though he doted on his grandson, there was also some frustration and anger as Xinxin hadn’t done well in school, managing the company, or even in pursuing girls.

What annoyed him most was Xinxin’s obliviousness. Seeing Bai Jie’s cold attitude, he still dared to pour fuel on the fire?

After stopping Qian Xinxin, Qian Dongcheng showed a kindly concern, "Xiao Jie, what’s wrong? Having trouble at work?"

"If you have any troubles, just tell Grandpa Qian. As long as I can help, I sure will!"

Although Bai Jie deeply disliked Qian Xinxin, she didn’t want to be too rude to an elder like Qian Dongcheng.

"Grandpa Qian, I’m fine. Thank you for your concern!" Bai Jie replied with a kindly smile.

Her warm smile made Qian Xinxin a bit intoxicated, and he unconsciously stepped forward, wanting to mend his relationship with Bai Jie.

"Bai Jie, I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes and haven’t been kind to you, but I will change. Please believe me!" Qian Xinxin vowed earnestly.

But his sincere expression only made Bai Jie loathe him more, and she subconsciously stepped back two steps.

It was true, if someone dislikes you, even the air around you is dirty!

Noting her avoidance, Qian Xinxin’s displeasure grew, and he furrowed his brows, wanting to force Bai Jie.

As he moved forward, he realized that this wasn’t a nightclub and Bai Jie wasn’t one of those girls playing hard to get.

"Ahem! Bai Jie, please don’t always avoid me! I’m not a tiger; I won’t eat you," Qian Xinxin laughed awkwardly.

Though he appeared sincere, Bai Jie knew his true, sinister nature and naturally didn’t dare to get too close.

Bai Jie suddenly sat at the edge of the sofa, affectionately touching Zhang Dadan and laughing, "Dadan, let’s go watch a movie! Staying at home is so boring!"

Her intimate gesture turned Qian Xinxin’s face green. This damn bitch, was she determined to cuckold him?
